8: Magic Flamenco Piano
Things come in threes: the line in basketball, the
wise men in the bible and the trio challenge on DWTS. For you, you may wonder,
what is that challenge? We'll find out as the night progresses, but for now, we
play the first half.
Starting things off, Donald & Peta doing a tango to "Higher Ground" by the Red Hot Chili, er, Stevie Wonder. They got up from the front row to dance and by the end, she pushed her to the floor and held her by her foot, now we get a hold of the judges. Carrie Ann says he's in the zone, Len said it was a first round knockout and Bruno said it had plenty of drama. Let's traumatize the scoreboard! CARRIE ANN: 9 LEN: 9 BRUNO: 9 Round 1 score: 27 Next is Maria & Derek doing a Viennese waltz to "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. Fog & Candles were on the floor most of the time and both did arm work and Maria ended it with a nice twirl. Now we twirl over with the judges. Carrie Ann said it heard angels sing when she danced, Len said it threw cold water on gushing and Bruno said of was heavenly fluidity. Flowing out the scores: CARRIE ANN: 10 LEN: 8 BRUNO: 10 Round 1 score: 28 We have Melissa & Maks doing a foxtrot to "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart. Melissa put the fgeather boa on bandleader Harold Wheeler and prompted Maks to drop the books and glasses and get to dancing...and it did. Let's drop by the judges.

Next floor: The Scoreboard: CARRIE ANN: 8 LEN: 9 BRUNO: 9 Round 1 Score: 26 Up ahead, Roshon & Chelsie doing a foxtrot to "Sweet Pea" by Amos Lee. Roshon ask her for chocolates while Chelsie read the newspaper and after all this dancing, we go to the judges.

CARRIE ANN: 9 LEN: 7 BRUNO: 9 Round 2 Score: 25 Overall Score: 53 Mel & Maks, meet....Maks' brother Val for a samba to "Hard To Handle" by The Black Crowes. Both guys did a machine-like move for her, but she pushed the guys to make room for her. With Maks alone, Val rejoined, but Maks quickly backed out for a few seconds. Now we back away to the judges.
