Week 2: Everybody's Free to Use Facebook
September 28

Hello kids & kidettes and....Kids who have kids. You're on DWTS, the only celebrity authority. Last week, We said nighty-night to Macy Gray and Ashley Hamilton, but it's only 14 players left to make the cut....again. We have a guest judge tonight, and his name is Baz Luhrmann, so make him feel welcome as we start our show.

We get not 2, but 3 routines for the 14 victims, and they are the quickstep, the jive and the tango. Sounds like a kiler instinct for ballroom if you believe. Up first, Joanna & Derek doing a jive to "What I Like About You" by Lillix. Joanna struggled a bit, but got right back from the start. Now to the judges. Carrie Ann said she loved the energy, Baz wants to see them connect more and Bruno asks them to keep it clean. Now let's wipe the numbers off!

CARRIE: 6
BAZ: 7
BRUNO: 7
Total Score: 20
A good start for week 2.

Next will be Natalie & ALec doing a quickstep to "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5. One highlight you might see is Natalie doing a split. Now we split over with the judges. Carrie Ann said she thinks of Alec as an extension of her, Baz said she just lit up the room and Bruno said she wants to relax a bit more. Kick in the scoreboard!

CARRIE: 7
BAZ: 7
BRUNO: 7

Next will be Chuck & Anna doing a tango to "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes. One highlight I saw was Chuck almost taking off his shirt. Easy there, big fella. Now to the judges.

CARRIE: 6
LEN: 7

They take up 3rd place.

Next will be Melissa & Mark doing a jive to "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard. Melissa did a back & forth slide while Mark did a flip over. We go over to the judges. Carrie Ann said it was great, Baz said she needs to work on her feet more, and Bruno called her the flickering ladybug. Light up the numbers!
