Just Dance was sung first by Lady GaGa. I've never heard of this chick, but she's awfully weird looking. Oh, I like this song, didn't know who sang it. You have to see her to believe it. She's just looking bizarre. Her costume has one leg, she has bleached blond hair or wig, short in front, long in back and a variation of the Kiss makeup on her face, it looks like.
If you missed last night's show, or the replay earlier, you can read my recap here. There was only a two point difference in the judges score from last night between all three couples. Tonight's dances were judged, but the viewer votes still count for 50%. Gilles and Melissa both chose dances that they already scored 30 on and Shawn chose a dance that she got a 28 on.
They did a recap on the first three weeks and the first three couples eliminated danced. Belinda/Jonathan did a Salsa, Denise/Maks did the Quickstep, and Holly/Dmitry danced a Samba. Tom announced that Samantha will be starring as Roxi Hart in Chicago on Broadway this summer. That surprised me. Didn't think she had it in her ...
The Woz/Karina were back doing the Quickstep. He's been practicing, lol. More recaps followed ... sigh. David/Kym followed with their Viennese Waltz. After his behavior and interviews when he got bounced, I'm surprised they invited him back. Steve-O/Lacey came next with their Foxtrot. He didn't fall on the step this time, aww. He looked good. Samantha called DAG on his interviews and asked about his experience and he kissed up to the judges. Hmm ...
After a recap of the Pick A Pro competition, Anna was announced as the winner, and guaranteed new pro. She then did an encore of her Quickstep with Maks. Loved it again. They look great together.
LT/Edyta re-danced their Jive. They showed Warren Sapp in the crowd cracking up, it was so funny. Chuck/Julianne did their Samba and yes, he wore his red satin pajamas
. Jeffery Ross was back with another roast. He wasn't funny last season, I don't know why they brought him back. He described the judges as Smokin', croakin' and flamin'. That was the only funny thing he said. He called the finalists The Underaged, The Un Wed, and the Unpronounceable. Like I said, he wasn't funny.
Then they recapped the end of the season. Lil Kim/Derek repeated their Jive with Derek trying to steal the trophy to Jailhouse Rock. And last, but not least, Ty/Chelsie did their Lindy Hop.
Finally, our three finalists were introduced. First up with the final dance is Shawn/Mark doing a Cha Cha. It actually looked like she enjoyed it more this time around. It was really cute, kept a smile on my face. Len said that, like an athlete, the longer Shawn went, the better she got. His problem in the past was her lack of performance, but tonight she brought it. Bruno said she was great. Carrie Ann said that in the last three weeks she's powered her way to the top and she belongs here. Scores: Three 10's for a perfect 30, and a three dance total of 88/90
Melissa/Tony went second with their Samba. Loved their Samba Roll. This was really one of my favorite dances, in part cuz I loved how it fit the music. Ha! At the end Tony kissed Bruno. Bruno said that it was more appetizing the second serving and said that she had a body made for dancing. Carrie Ann called her a muse of dance. Said she brought out the best in Tony. Len said that she had a presence. She mixed style, elegance with performance. Scores: Three 10's for 30 and three dance total of 86/90
Lastly, Gilles/Cheryl reprised their Argentine Tango. This was better than last time. They put a lift in there that I don't remember seeing the first time. Their hooks were clean and the passion was hot. Loved it. Carrie Ann said that he's a very special performer, brings a special artistry. Len said that they were the couple that brought him the most pleasure this season. Took him back 50 yrs with that tango. Bruno called it an Argentine Triumph ... A star is born ... and some other stuff that only Bruno could say. Scores: Three 10's for 30, three dance total of 88/90.
Judges leaderboard looks the same as last night:
Shawn/Mark - 88/90
Gilles/Cheryl - 88/90
Melissa/Tony - 86/90
Love Game performed by Lady GaGa. Now she has on this hot pink number, with a different blonde wig and better makeup. But she had a cane type thing with a mesh bathroom puff on the end. Strange woman. This song is weird, too. She wants to take a ride on your disco stick. Yeah, uh huh.
An hour and fifty minutes into the show and there is a commercial. We still had no clue who would win this thing. The third place couple was announced and it was Melissa/Tony. We just had a commercial and now they are sending us back to another one not 2 minutes later. Sheesh, finally. Tom said that there was less than 1% difference between 1st and 2nd place. The winners of Dancing With the Stars 8 are Shawn and Mark! Mark looks even more shocked than he did last year. Derek did his repeat of lifting Mark on his shoulder and Chuck finally lifted Shawn. On their way out the door, Tom said that they'd be back in September with Dancing With the Stars 9. So I'll catch y'all then.
