Dancing With the Stars 80's Week Results Show: Carson Exits

Well we all survived the decade of the 80's and we somehow survived a wacky 80's night on Dancing With the Stars last night.

From Carson's wild cheerleader routine to Wham! and Ricki Lake getting some tough criticism from the judges it was a strange, just like the entire decade of the 80's.

Eliminations are tonight and as usual, it's going to come down to fan's votes.

The dance troupe began the night with another tribute to the 80's.  After a couple Madonna songs we are ready to go.  

Ricki and Hope are the first two contestants to be called up on stage tonight.  Here come some results.  The first couple safe is Ricki and Derek.  Hope is in jeopardy. 

Next a performance by Kelly Clarkson and some more dancing from the pros.  Kelly Clarkson looked better than she has recently.  Kelly has a new album coming out called "Stronger."

On to a special feature named with a girl named Charm who had a rough upbringing.  She beat the odds and with the help of her mother she became a dancer.  She made it through college and gives back by teaching dance to grade school kids.  She gets to perform a dance with Derek and Mark. 

Now we get some country with The Band Perry.  Louis and Karina with some nice dancing included.  
Rob, J.R. and David on up to find out where they stand next.  J.R. has been good each week, but Rob and David are tied for most improved.  The next safe couple is J.R. and Karina.  David and Kym are in jeopardy.  Rob and Cheryl are safe for another week.

Following another Kelly Clarkson song, we get some more results.  Nancy, Carson and Chaz come forward.  The next couple safe is Chaz and Lacey.  Nancy and Tristan are also safe, that means Carson and Anna are in he bottom three.

Time to see who is going home.  One couple will be safe and that is... David and Kym.  Hope or Carson will be going home.  The final results say Carson is heading on home.

Dancing With the Stars: Songs of the 1980's and Some Big Hair

Tonight we pay homage to the great songs of the 1980's.  

It's the 5th week of competition so we should see one or two of the couples who should make the finals start to separate themselves from the pack.  I don't think that will be the team of Chaz and Lacey, but they have made it this far.

Let's go back to the 80's.

The Bangles started off the show with one of their hits, "Eternal Flame."  After they broke in to "Walk Like an Egyptian" you knew it was 80's Night.  A lot of big hair, spandex and parachute pants to come.

Hope and Maks are first up tonight.  They did a good foxtrot last week.  this weeks it's on to the tango.  Another good dance.  Lot's of action and entertainment value.  Len thought Hope was too flat, but Bruno thought she resembled an 80's Super Bitch.  She was strong and powerful, but needs a little refining.  Hope gets a 24.

Carson and Anna are up next with a Wham! song.  Carson donned leg warmers for rehearsals, and a track suit for the performance, that turned into a cheerleader outfit, compete with pom poms.  It may be the strangest dance I've ever seen on DWTS.  I don't know what to say about this.  Bruno called it a "Crowning achievement in madness."  Carson gets a 19 and a lot of smiles.

Nancy and Tristan next on stage.  It's wouldn't be the 80's without Spandau Ballet.  Nancy has a lot of work to do this week and Tristan wants her to listen better.  Remember, Nancy is a lawyer, so good luck with that.  Not a difficult dance, it was ok to me.  The judges thought it was ok as well.  Nancy gets a 22 out of 30.

After another Bangles song we get J.R. and Karina.  J.R. has been the best dancer on the show so far, but the judges still want to see more.  They get a samba and J.R. is looking forward to it.  A lot going on here as J.R. unleashed his Latin roots.  With the best ovation of the night, J.R. gets a 28 and vaults to the top! 

Rob and Cheryl are next on.  Rob is working harder to be a contender, not a pretender.  He has to do a rumba and Cheryl wants him to take the lead.  Rob did well, he continues to improve each week.  Rob played the leading man very well.  He gets a 25.

Chaz and Lacey are again looking to improve.  He's been getting a lot of fan votes, but he wants to prove his worth on the dance floor.  Lacey even brought her dad out this week to help Chaz.  It's the best I've seen Chaz move.  Len liked the effort, even thought the technique was a bit lacking.  Chaz gets a 21.

David Arquette and Kym are on next.  They get to do a tango to "Tainted Love."  A good tango with lots of moves and a good level of difficulty.  It did have a good 80's feel.  The judges liked it and David gets a 25 for his highest score.

Ricki and Derek will be last to go tonight.  Ricki earned some 10's last week, can she duplicate that this week?  Ricki knows the 80's and wants to turn it up a notch.  Another nice effort from Ricki and Derek.  it earns them a 24.

Results show tomorrow with Kelly Clarkson and The Band Perry.  Tune in!

Gloria: I was talking about my cousin Mary Conchita.

Gloria: What killed her two weeks later was a bus.

Phil: Either he gives us the money or he gets a private performance from England Dan and John Ford Coley.

Phil:  I would've treated him to a reunion of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Mitchell: I got grass stains.

Gloria: Claire has decided to run for Mayor of the town.

Phil and Luke:  Ha ha assets.

Jay: Same exact closet.

Cam: We didn't need fake I.D.s on the farm.

Phil: I used mine to rent some bowling shoes and never returned them.  Bet they spent a long time looking for Dr. Richard Hertz.  Get it...

Dancing With the Stars Results: Chynna Can't "Hold On"

A big night in the ballroom as some great guests from music and dance make appearances.  On a sad note, one more contestant will be leaving this week.  

Last night was all about movies and I think they all did a pretty good job.  Chynna Phillips was perhaps the most disappointing of the evening since she had been so good the first three weeks.  Carson and Rob Kardashian again showed improvement and Hope Solo rebounded with a great routine. 

The first routine of the night was the song "Soul Man".  Some good music and dancing.

Next we get Susan Boyle singing a nice movie theme and we get some dancing by by Peta and Val.  

Now, on to the results.  J.R, Rob, and Ricki are called to the stage.  I'm sure Ricki is safe, but not sure about the other two.  Ricki is safe and so is J.R.  Rob and Cheryl are put in jeopardy.

Next we get to see Julianne House return to the balloom and dance with her Footloose co-star Kenny Wormald.  Also, Blake Shelton singing the new Footloose theme song.  It hits theaters this Friday. 

More couples up for elimination.  Carson, Chynna and Chaz are called up to the stage.  This is going to be a tough decision and a tough result.  The next contestant who is safe is Chaz.  Joining them as safe is Carson.  Chynna and Tony are going into jeopardy. 

They are really putting Julianne to work tonight.  She now gets to dance with Derek.  More high energy dancing from the Hough's.  

Three more couples to find out their destiny.  Nancy, David and Hope.  This will be another tough decision.  Returning next will be Hope and David.  Nancy Grace goes into jeopardy. 

The three couples in jeopardy do not look happy.  Brought to safety is Nancy and Tristan.  Rob and Cheryl and Chynna and Tony remain in jeopardy. 

Chynna is eliminated and Rob comes back for one more week.

Next week, we go back to the 80's.
