A Six-Pack of Abs Firing on All Six Cylinders
November 5

Welcome to the ballroom show we'd die in peace for. With the cheetah girl getting the blowdart last week, all 6 couples will do it again, this time, one to each couple. So what are we waiting for? Let's pump up the volume!

BALLROOM ROUND
We're about to begin as Helio & Julianne take a tango to "Jean Genie" by David Bowie. Helio wanted to look for Julianne, and found her. She spun & dip at the end there. WHere are the judges? Here they are. Carrie Ann liked it, Len said it had drive & attack, and Bruno said it was like thunder & lightning. Let the scoreboard rain....

CARRIE: 9
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
Round 1 Score: 25

Marie & Jonathan will be next doing a quickstep to "Boogie Woogle Bugle Boy" by Bette Midler. They both did some 40's-like dance moves, and did what the quickstep did do. Jonathan put her on the judges table to end it. Now she's getting off as we start with Carrie Ann who says it was nothing campy, Len said entertainment ran through her veins, and Bruno said it did get it right. TO the scoreboard:

CARRIE: 10
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 9
Round 1 Score: 28

Next up, Mel & Max doing a fox trot. Getting to the end, she hugged Tom after 1:30 of dancing. How nice. But did the judges play nice on her? Carrie Ann said it was a hair out of sync....huh?....Len said it had lovely arms during a solo and Bruno said it performed very well. Where's the numbers?

CARRIE: 8
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
Round 1 Score: 24

Jane & Tony are up doing a quickstep to "I Walk The LIne" by Johnny Cash. Both sat and then got up by the start to dance. She even did a foot drag there by the end. Let's drag race to the judges. Carrie Ann said she's got to excite us, Len said it had that lovely grace and Bruno said on the outfit, that it ran through a shredder. TMNT, anyone? Scoreboard:

CARRIE: 8
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
Round 1 Score: 24

Jennie & Derek will slow down with a Viennesse Waltz. Neither a lift was seen, but Jennie did a foot drag. To the judges we go. Carrie Ann said she's been growing...what's her height?...Len said it wasn't enough waltz in hold, and Bruno said it was like a water nymph in a lake. Let's splash to the scoreboard:

CARRIE: 8
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 9
Round 1 Score: 25

Cameron & Edyta will round it out by doing a quickstep. Cameron leaped off the enterance area and did energy. Edyta did a quick split and a slow tumble there. And the judges say....carrie Ann replies why she loves the exuberance, LEn asks the SUperman to calm down and Bruno said it was like Mr. Flash in a mad dash. Now the scoreobard in a flash:

CARRIE: 8
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
Round 1 Score: 24

After a round of play, Marie has 28, Helio & Jennie are tied with 25, and everybody else with 24. Now let's see if the Latin ROund can change all this.

LATIN ROUND
We start off with Helio & Julianne doing a samba. The only highlight I see is Helio getting a gesture kick in the chest from Julianne. Yeah,baby! Sorry. TO the judges. Carrie Ann said Way to go, LEn said it was fantastic, and Bruhno liked what he saw. But what else did we see there...oh yeah...

CARRIE: 9
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 9
Round 2 score: 27
OVerall Score: 52

Marie & Jonathan will be next doing a cha cha to "Venus" by Shocking Blue. Marie asks JOnathan to get up and dance, and he does. She did a crossed-leg squat. Never before has this happened. She took time to stare at the crowd while walking, and did a nasty move on Jonathan. Never had this happen too. Did the judges happen? Carrie Ann said it wasn't enough content, Len said it was too much messin' about, and Bruno said it liked the character. Now the scoreboard:

CARRIE: 8
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
ROund 2 Score: 24
Overall Score: 52

Mel & MAx are up doing a paso doble. Haven't you seen this for a third time? women starting down at men on the floor? It's a trend we're starting around here. Anyways, to the jufdges. Carrie Ann said it kicked seroius booty, and Bruno said it was like a dominatrix. Let's whip the scoreboard:

CARRIE: 10
LEN: 10
BRUNO: 10
Round 2 Score: 30
Overall Score: 54

Jane & Tony are up doing a cha cha. Whatever they did, it was good or not so good. Now let's see if the judges did make good. Carrie Ann said she's a dainty & delicate dancer, Len said it lacked a few fireworks, and Bruno said it was well executed. Okay, the scoreboard:

CARRIE: 8
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 9
Round 2 Score: 26
Overall Score: 50

Next will be Jennie & Derek doing a rumba. Boy, did they nail it despite the giggles in practice. Now let's not giggle with the judges. Carrie Ann said it had beautiful lines, Len said she's the only one not convinced she's very good at it and Bruno said it was her best dance. WHere's the scoreboard?

CARRIE: 9
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 10
Round 2 Score: 28
Overall Score: 53

TO wrap it up, Cameron & Edyta doing a jive. (Kellynote: Is that Latin or otherwise?) Cameron did a flying leap and Edyta did a split back. Cameron did another leap over and Edyta did a flying split. Watch out! Now to the judges. Carrie Ann said he's becoming a really fine dancer, Len said it did fantastic and Bruno said it had more kicks than a rodeo. And now the scoreboard is 8 seconds:

CARRIE: 9
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 9
Round 2 Score: 27
Overall Score: 27

Now that we've cleared the room, here comes the leaderboard:

54 -- Mel & Maks
53 -- Jennie & Derek
52 -- Helio & Julianne, Marie & Jonathan
51-- Cameron & Edyta
50 -- Jane & Tony

Tomorrow, for one couple, it's do or die. So long, everyone!
