Dancing With the Stars 8: Week 9 Results Show and Round 3 of Pick a Pro

Hey y'all! Tonight was the Week 9 results show and Round 3 of the Pick a Pro competition. Would our favorites make the cut or would tonight be another 'shocking' elimination? To start of the evening, Melissa and Tony reprised their perfect 30 Samba. And it was just as good tonight as it was last night. That Samba took them to the top of the leaderboard, but two couples were only one point behind. At this point, they recapped last night's show. If you missed it, read the recap here. I'm excited about tonight. DanceCenter returns! That segment cracks me up.

First performance is of a Frank Sinatra hit, 'I Get a Kick Out of You', by Jamie Cullum. I don't know who these two pros are dancing, but they are good. Looks like a Quick Step, and yep, it's quick, but very glamourous looking. That was a wonderful performance.

DanceCenter time with returns with Jerry Rice, Kenny Mayne, and Len. Both Jerry and Kenny had some kind of sparkly tatoo things on the side of their faces and Jerry was shirtless with a tux collar and tie. First to be dissected was Ty. Kenny says that Ty is 7'8", and he's glad they are celebrating a bad dancer, but Len disagrees. They are talking about how he is fully committed to the show. Lil Kim was next and described as lil. Len said that she was the ultimate performer, but was then cut off. Jerry said that she has one one major ASSet and knows how to use it. Shawn was called lil'er than Lil Kim. Len cut off again when he was trying to analyze her and told that they didn't want to hear his mumbo jumbo. Video footage shows Mark turning into a chipmunk. The last two contestants were to be talked about later. For some reason, this wasn't as funny as it usually is.

Next some results. In no particular order, the first couple moving on to the semifinals is Gilles/Cheryl. He was excited, I think. He jumped straight up and shouted Yes!

Then DanceCenter was back. Melissa was described as pretty. I I thought they were gonna slam Jason talking about her public humiliation, but they were talking about Tony, lol. They showed practice video and showed him laughing when she got hurt. They do some serious video manipulation, lol. They complimented her jive and said that it wins the award for the best use of denim. Gilles was described in French. Kenny totally dissed the French and Len corrected him. Oh Yum, love the video ... called Gilles 'Sex on a Stick'. Back in the studeo after the video clip, hahaha, all three guys shirtless to make fun of Gilles. Kenny needs a tan, and Len ... uh yeah. Now this was DanceCenter!

Macy's Stars of Dance performance ... Largest ever seen. Acrobatic dancers with a large star shaped structure as a centerpiece that they danced on and around. to Coldplay's 'Vida la Vida'. Very cool performance, back to the Macy's Stars of Dance that I love. Unfortunately, they never said the name of the performing group, only the choreographers.

The first couple in our Pick a Pro competition was next. Afton, paired with Cody Lindley, got a Samba. Cody compared Afton to Julianne and they showed how busy he was with Hannah Montana. He hasn't lost his hyper-ness. Once again the house band massacres a song, this time a Shakira song. That Afton can shake her stuff. That was a pretty good performance, very fun to watch. Another royal blue costume, between last night and tonight it was a blue parade. Len complimented Afton on her teaching and choreography. Bruno said that she got Cody to sell himself, and Carrie Ann said that she brought it up a notch.

The next couple going on to the semifinals is Melissa/Tony.

Mayo and Lisa Rinna were next in our Pick a Pro competition. There is a seven inch height difference and Lisa said that she had to get used to it. They did a Quickstep in black and gold. she had on a beautiful gold dress with orange and red. That was pretty good. I thought it suffered because we saw that quickstep pro couple at the beginning. Bruno said that Mayo made the most of Lisa's assets, Carrie Ann complimented him, but said that they got out of control, and Len said that they did a good job. Oh and I did see Omarosa sitting behind Harry Hamlin. I'm thinking that even if Mayo doesn't win, he'll be back because Carrie Ann said that he'd be great for the taller female celebrities.

Anna was up last with Maurice Greene doing a Tango. My Banty Rooster was back! For some reason, Maurice picked a dance that he hadn't done before. He said it was because he wanted to see how good a teacher she really was. This is going to be a challenge. Wow, he looks great doing this, I'm loving it. She did a great job with him. This was my favorite. Carrie Ann loved it, said Afton brought something out in Maurice, wonderful performance. Len said that she got the most out of her celeb. Bruno called her a miracle worker, said that Maurice never looked better. Next week the final two will be paired with a current pro and will have to choreograph both a latin and a ballroom dance.

Now the last three couples will hear their results. Moving on the the semis will be Shawn/Mark, which left Lil Kim/Derek and Ty/Chelsie. Tom made a point of telling them that they were in the bottom two. After five minutes of commercials, tom told Lil Kim/Derek that they were eliminated. Wow. The audience was in shock, very quiet. This was what I was afraid of last night ... Derek was full of praise for her and the looks on the faces of the remaining dancers was very telling. Mark looked devastated. This ending was bad.

Okay, y'all. I know we talked about how this could happen, but were you surprised? What will this mean for next week on Dancing With the Stars 8? Will the rodeo crowd continue to vote on something other than dancing ability? Will the judges make sure that Ty's scores are so low that he cannot win, regardless of his 'Army'?
