Dancing With the Stars 8: Week 4 Double Elimination Results Show

Hey y'all! Tonight on Dancing With the Stars 8, we were told the bottom three couples for the first time and then the bottom two were eliminated. As usual there were musical numbers, dances and other fillers to stretch the show to an hour and two minutes. Samantha was sounding sick last night and tonight her time on camera talking was limited. Tom was out front while Samantha spent her time backstage.

I must be psychic or something! First Gilles got to do the Argentine Tango and then last night I wished for an Encore performance instead of a Dance-Off. My wish was granted! I got to see Gilles/Cheryl do that super hot Argentine Tango one more time and it was even better than last night. Whew, that was hot.

After a recap of the Leaderboard, which showed Gilles/Cheryl alone on the top and Woz/Karina on the bottom, Tom put Gilles/Cheryl and LT/Edyta out of their misery and told Holly/Dmitry that they were in the bottom three.

Next week one of the dances will be the Paso Doble. To show us how one is supposed to look, Chelsie, Lacey, Julianne, Derek and another male dancer performed this very cool Paso while Kevin Rudolf sang his hit 'Let It Rock'. It shouldn't have worked, but it really did. That was a way cool Paso, very enjoyable to watch. I just wish they'd let us watch the dancers more while the singers sang off camera. What do we need to see them for?

Shawn/Mark were told that they were safe right before another special number. The couples that don't get the Paso Doble next week will be doing a Viennese Waltz. To demonstrate the proper form for this was a group of International Champions, choreographed by Louis Van Amstel, doing this beautiful dance to 'Annie's Song'. Wow, this dance was gorgeous. This is one of the first times that I've enjoyed dancers other than our pros doing ballroom.

Chuck/Julianne were told that they were safe, while Steve-O/Lacey were told that they were in the bottom three. After that, Cheryl, Tony, Kym and Dmitry danced to a BoyzIIMen Motown Medley. Kym and Dmitry really looked good together. All the dancers were good, of course, but the singing was not so good. I actually cringed at a couple of points.

Lil Kim/Derek and Melissa/Tony were told that they were safe and then they wasted some more time. I don't even know what it was, I fast forwarded through it. Finally Ty/Chelsie were told that they were safe, as were David/Kym. This means that Woz/Karina joined Steve-O/Lacey and Holly/Dmitry in the bottom three.

Who went home and who squeaked through? Dun Dun Dun ... Since by this time, they were running out of time, Tom quickly told Holly/Dmitry and Woz/Karina that they were leaving. They did get the time to enthuse over their partners and their experiences and we were reminded to go to abc.com and vote for the Design-A-Dance. The dance, Quick Step, and the song, 'It Don't Mean a Thing, If It Ain't Got That Swing', have already been chosen. The dancers and costumes are still to go. Catch y'all next week when we'll get to see Paso Dobles and Viennese Waltzes on Dancing With the Stars 8.
