Dancing With the Stars 8: Week 6 Results Show

Tonight is the week 6 Dancing With the Stars 8 results show. Last night Lil Kim jived her way to the top of the leaderboard and Ty dropped almost back to where he started, near the bottom. As we've seen the past few weeks, the fan vote has a lot to do with placement. Who will be safe and will head home?

Lil Kim/Derek's jive was chosen as the Encore Performance. Last night she had a wardrobe malfunction that was hidden so let's hope wardrobe has her 'girls' under more control tonight. I noticed Tom step in front of her, but it was only later that we found out why. Whoever does costumes needs to do a better job. Their jive was good again tonight.

First, from the revival of West Side Story, some of the cast with 'America'. I'm too much of a purist for this. I liked the interplay between the men and women in the original better than I liked this. I still have Rita Moreno and George Chikiris in my mind doing that song, as I've seen the movie hundreds of times I'm sure. It was okay, though.

Tom let us know that there was no Dance-Off tonight. What's up with that? They need to get some consistency here. I'm sure it's made some conspiracists speculate. They had all the couples on the steps and called Lil Kim/Derek and LT/Edyta down first and told them that they would be back next week.

Julianne and Tony danced to 'Goodbye' by Rascal Flatts. I'm not a country music fan, but I am a fan of theirs. Wow, this dance was freaking awesome! He flipped her all over like a rag doll, but she stayed graceful throughout. Beautiful song and beautiful dance. Oh heck yeah, this I loved!

Next week, instead of the Pros, the stars will be designing the costumes. This ought to be interesting. Lawrence joked with the head costumer that he was gonna put a little more clothes on Edyta since his mama will be watching. Lil Kim teased that she was gonna put Derek in sparkles and a pimp cup. Steve-O teased animal print. I'm kind of looking forward to this.

Back to the results, Shawn/Mark and Melissa/Tony were called down next and told that they would be back next week.

Well, Carmen Electra was featured in this weeks Macy's Stars of Dance Performance. I knew their definition of 'Star' was different than mine, and this was just another example. When did she become a 'Star of Dance'? Anyway, this was choreographed by an original member of the Pussy Cat Dolls so if you guessed that it would be kind of raunchy, you would have been correct. And the dancing wasn't all that good either. They are lacking with this segment this season ... sigh. I'd have rather watched our pros dance.

Rascal Flatt's performed their rendition of The Beatle's song 'Revolution'. I recognized Chelsie and Mark dancing, but not the other pair, and Tom didn't tell us who they were. I liked that dance, though, it was pretty cool. Not as good as the first performance, but it was pretty good.

Four couples left, Gilles/Cheryl were told that they were safe. Then Ty/Chelsie, Chuck/Julianne, Steve-O/Lacey were left to sweat it out for a commercial break. Someone fell asleep at the button, though, because it was not a smooth transition from show to commercial and Tom was heard to say something about 'Well, that was abrupt'. Once back, Chuck/Julianne were told that they were safe. They made sure to tell us that the other couple left is not necessarily in the bottom two. After wasting a few more minutes talking to the judges, Steve-O/Lacey were told that they would be leaving tonight.

As a counter to the ugliness that was David Alan Grier, Steve-O was very funny and gracious in his goodbyes. If you don't know what I'm talking about, google DAGs exit interviews and see how ugly he really was. Anyway, next week on Dancing With the Stars 8, we can look forward to seeing the costumes that the stars come up with.

What did y'all think of the show tonight? Was it finally time for Steve-O to go? What did you think of the other entertainment. Who do you want to see as the entertainment for next Tuesday? Let's brainstorm. Comment below.
