Scoring - Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas

9:33 PM

Carrie Ann gave a 9, Len gave a 9, and Bruno gave a 9.  Woo!  27 out of 30.  I think any criticism the judges have is pretty minor fine-tuning stuff and clearly isn't anything serious enough to jeopardize her score. 

The Guchi Machine keeps rolling for yet another week. 

Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas do the tango of victory

9:32 PM

Can The Guchi be stopped?  Will the tango be her Achilles' Heel?  Is this the week when Kristi and Mark finally get a low score?  Let's find out.

They're swooshing around, swooshing...  I wish I could see Kristi's feet better, her dress is in the way.  Nice flashy ending.  You can't go wrong with between-the-legs action! 

Len thought it was a great routine, Carrie Ann thought the technique was there but the emotion was missing, and Bruno thought it was sharp and clear, but also lacking in heat.  "I want you to be a dirty girl!" Bruno purred.  That's the quote of the night, right there.

Scoring - Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska

9:23 PM

The judges give a 23 out of 30.  Bruno and Carrie Ann each gave Jason and Edyta an 8, but grumpy ol' Len gives them a 7. 

A minor setback for Taylor - he'll be back next week.

8:20 PM

Dancing to "I Got a Woman," good choice.  They're going for an after-hours mistress thing. 

Their choreography looks tough!  His footwork is great - I like the bit where they are dancing in tandem.  Looks like they're doing well.

Bruno thought their jive was cool but powerful - both he and Carrie Ann liked Jason's "lines."  Len wasn't impressed -he thought the kicks were sloppy.  Oh well, I thought it was great.

Scoring Priscilla Presley and Louis Van Amstel

9:16 PM

I thought that Priscilla Presley would do well, but she's surprised me with just how well she has done.  I think she takes the whole thing very seriously and is a total perfectionist.

Let's see how their tango did.  Carrie Ann gave an 8, Len gave a 9, and Bruno gave a 9, for a total of 26 out of 30.  It's their highest score so far, and the highest score of the night.  Well deserved.

Priscilla Presley and Louis Van Amstel tango

9:09 PM

They're going for a smoldering "I hate you!  No, I love you!" Latin vibe with their tango. 

Priscilla looks great - red is her color.  I think they're doing great, it's very dramatic.  She looks like she knows what she's doing - very confident and precise movements.

Bruno thought it was well executed and beautifully acted.  Len loved the "passion, drama, fire and ice!"  Carrie Ann loved it, too.

Scoring - Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovoloni

9:05 PM

Marissa's stressed out about this - they even had to bleep her when she swore!  Carrie Ann gave a 6, Len gave them a 7, and Bruno gave a 6.  Not a great score. 

Let's hope that Marissa's likeability and natural charisma can generate enough votes to overcome her low score.

9:02 PM

Going for a 50's girl rock vibe.  Jive is a good fit for Marissa - bouncy and high energy.  They seemed to falter there in the middle bit and lose some energy.  Seems like her legwork could be more vigorous, though.

Len thought it could have been a little more high energy.  Carrie Ann thought it was boring!  They're going to make Marissa cry!  Bruno agrees, but is more encouraging.

Scoring - Adam Carolla & Julianne Hough

8:58 PM

I called it - 21 out of 30.

Man, Carolla really just goes off, doesn't he?
