Dancing With the Stars Results: Petra 'Czech's' Out

Another couple will be eliminated tonight on DWTS.

We celebrated America last night as the couples all gave some of their best performances.

Hines and Chelsea were the best in my opinion, but all the competitors were pretty good.  

A lot of attention and focus is on Kirstie each week, so we'll see if she survives.  Kendra might be in trouble.

Safe this week is Hines and Kim.  In jeopardy is Kirstie and Maks.  We'll find out later if they survive.  Romeo and Chelsie Hightower get to do the encore dance.

Next the first appearance of the night for Toby Keith.  A great rendition of "I Should've Been a Cowboy."

Up for elimination next are Chelsea Kane, Romeo and Chris Jericho.  I wouldn't want to be the one to tell Chris Jericho that he's in jeopardy.  The next couple safe is Chelsea and Mark.  Romeo and Chelsie are also safe.  Chris Jericho and Cheryl are in jeopardy.  

Next, a little behind the scenes piece.  Then the usual Macy's Stars of Dance.  

The final three couples to find out their fate are Petra, Kendra, and Ralph.  All three were solid last night.  The next coupple safe is Ralph and Karina.  Also coming back next week is Kendra and Louis.  Petra and Dmitry are in jeopardy. 

More Toby Keith and some more patriotic music.  We also find out that next week Pia Toscano will be performing backed by Mark Ballas.  I bet she's been backed by Mark Ballas.

One couple will be brought to safety.  That would be Kirstie and Maks.

Either Chris or Petra will be gone.  The couple still safe is Chris and Cheryl.  Petra will be going home, but she did well.

Dancing With the Stars: American Night

It's Patriot's Day so that means an All-American theme tonite.  Not sure what songs we will hear but the dances will be a foxtrot and what's more American than the Viennese Waltz.  Add a little Samba in and it should be an interesting night.

Questions I have for tonight include what disaster will fall upon Kirstie Alley and will Kendra be pouting again after she gets some low scores.  Ralph and Chelsea are the favorites in my estimation.

Let the dances begin.

First up this evening, Ralph Macchio and Karina.  They get the Samba to "Sweet Home Alabama."  It was kind of a western themed Samba.  Ralph kept up well and it was a tough routine.  I'm a little worried, Bruno told Ralph to get his loins going and to give him sex."  The received a 22 out of 30 for their score.

Second up is Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke.  Chris is Canadian, but he's ready for American night.  Len has been tough on Chris, but he wants to Len he can waltz.  Dancing to "America the Beautiful" was kind of different.  They did it well and even a little pyro at the end.  Len still says he needs to improve his footwork.  A great score of 26 for Chris.

Next up, Petra and Dmitry.  They will be dancing to Elvis and "Viva Las Vegas."  Good music and a nice quickstep.  The judges pointed out a few missed steps, but overall good remarks.  The scores were two 7's and an 8.  A total of 22.

Here comes Romeo and Chelsie.  He's been in the middle of the pack each week.  He's working hard and wants to move up to the top.  They dance a foxtrot in very formal attire.  A tough routine and very classy.  The judges agree and give Romeo a 26 out of 30.

Next we have Hines Ward and Kym Johnson.  Being an athlete has really helped Hines so far.  They do a rumba, but they say it's going to be romantic.  I'm not what I think of Hines in that sailor outfit, but I'm sure a certain segment of the male population like it.  He makes it look easy and it was a good dance.  Len thought it was his best dance, they get a 27.

Here we go with Kirstie and Maks.  What could possibly go wrong this week.  They got some coaching this week from John Travolta.  They get a foxtrot and dance to "American Woman."  It was a crazy and fun dance.  Bruno thought it was hot.  They get a 23 for a nice score.

Next is Kendra and Louis.  Carrie Ann has been hard on Kendra, but they are trying to help her.  Kendra needs a big score this week to advance.  This happens to be the 1,000th competitive dance in the history of the show.  They get a foxtrot.  It was better than last week, and entertaining.  The judges give them a 22.

Lastly tonight is Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas.  She was the leader last week.  This week they dance to Miley Cyrus.  Another high energy dance.  The crowd loved it, the judges loved it.  They get a 26.

Results show tomorrow with Toby Keith.

Dancing With the Stars: Sugar Ray is KO'ed

Classical Night was an instant classic as the good performances outnumbered the bad last night.

One team will have danced their last dance and will be heading home.  Who will it be?  The third celebrity will be eliminate tonight, Liiiiiiiive

Kendra might be in the worst position at this point.  She received a lot of criticism from the judges and I'm not sure how much fan support she has.

The dance troupe started out the evening with a nice routing to "Walk This Way."  They are spicing up the classical music for these pro routines.

Let's get right into the eliminations.  First up are Chelsea Kane, Hines Ward, and Ralph Macchio.  These were the three highest scoring couples from last night's shows.  Combining the fan's votes with the judge's marks, Ralph and Karina are safe.  Hines and Kym are also safe and Chelsea and Mark are in jeopardy.

Some consolation for Chelsea and mark is they were picked to do the encore, so we get to see some more Harry Potter.

This was followed by a Lieutenant Len bit.  At least it didn't include Kenny Mayne.

Next up, singing her new song is Jennifer Hudson.  Karina and Louis danced to her new song.  I think Playboy will sell some more copies after that routine.

Next up to find out their fate are Chris Jericho, Romeo and Petra.  The next couple safe is Chris and Cheryl.  Also safe is Romeo and Chelsie.  Petra is on the hot seat.

The Macy's Stars of Dance this week showcases ballet.  That's this week's filler.

One more song from Jennifer Hudson and were back to the eliminations.

The next group up for elimination includes Kirstie Alley, Sugar Ray Leonard and Kendra.  Kendra got some harsh words last night from the judges.  Kirstie and Maks are safe, Kendra is safe and Sugar Ray doesn't know his fate.

Three couples, one will be eliminated.  Petra and Dmitry are safe.  Chelsea and Mark are safe, Sugar Ray and Anna are going home.

Partriots Week is next week.

Dancing With the Stars: From Charlie Brown to Charlie Sheen on Classical Night

This will be the fourth week of dances for our couples and hopefully we will have some questions answered tonight.

Will Karina keep her clothes on?

Will Pia Toscano, the most recently eliminated contestant from American Idol be there cheering on her new boyfriend, Mark Ballas?

Will Kirstie and Maks get penalized for a lift if Kirstie lifts Maks?

All that and some dancing tonight on DWTS.

Classical Week means the orchestra is larger and so are the stakes.

The pros had to work harder this week getting the routine just right with the orchestra and the beautiful classical music.

First up is Chelsie Hightower and Romeo.  Chelsie wants an all out aggressive performance from Romeo, he wants just to make it through the routine without screwing up.  A very dramatic and passionate performance and the crowd liked it.  The judges gave them a 23, including Carrie Ann taking a point away for a lift.

Now on to Louis and Kendra.  Kendra needs to show some improvment this week.  Is the Vienese Waltz just what the doctor ordered?  Louis had Kendra going at a pretty good pace this week.  With Katherine Jenkins singing, Kendra had a hard time with the routine, but didn't seem upset.  Carrie Ann said she lacked elegence and her scores reflected it with an 18 out of 30.

Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna are up next.  Big improvement for Sugar Ray last week.  The fans and judges loved him.  This week, Sugar Ray took a ballet class to prepare for his Vienese Waltz.  He had a great time with Anna, and the judges couldn't stop smiling as well.  Great entertainment and a 21 out of 30.

Next up is Team Dmitra: Dmitry and Petra.  Petra was great last week, this week a new challenge for Petra.  They attempt a Paso this week and Dmitry wants to see aggression.  She was aggressive and they both had a lot of fun.  he judges rewarded the pair with a 23.

Ralph and Karina are up next.  Last week, Ralph slipped a little.  He is aiming to return to the top of the leaderboard.  A nice routine and great teamwork.  Bruno loved it, Carrie Ann believed in it, and Len said it was great to have Ralph back.  Ralph receives a 25.

Here comes Hines Ward and Kym Johnson.  Hines had a great week last week, this week he tries his hand at the Paso.  Hines came out like a rocket.  There was pyro, there were leg kicks, and lighting that looked like lasers.  The dance was just as impressive.  Hines was in the zone and I'm not talking about the red zone.  He received a 25.

Next up is Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas.  Chelsea is worried about dancing to classical music.  They danced to a song from Harry Potter.  Bruno loved it, Len didn't think it was traditional enough.  They get a 26 and jump into the lead.

Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke are next.  He's beaten The Rock, he's beaten John Cena, this week he takes on the Paso Doble.  It was a tough dance, but he did a good job.  Len wished he would've kept up with the music a little better, he gets a 23.

Last but not least is Kirstie and Maks.  They are trying to recover from the fall of last week.  Kirstie is trying hard to be a good dancer, but her hip injury is keeping her from practicing and hindering her routine.  Big props to Kirstie for getting through the dance.  Very elegant and she recovered well fro her shoe almost coming off.  She earns a 22.

Results show tomorrow night.

Chris Brown Still Slated for 'Dancing With the Stars'

I'm a but surprised, but Dancing with the Stars producers are moving forward with Chris Brown's March 29 performance on the popular dance show.

Rumors surfaced on Thursday morning that ABC was going to pull the plug on the bad boy's appearance, but we are told that's not going to happen. 

The ABC vs. Chris Brown controversy started on Tuesday when Brown shattered a dressing room window with a chair after an interview on Good Morning America. During that interview, Brown was asked repeatedly about his two-year-old assault against Rihanna which led to him erupting off camera moments later.

Chair throwing, window breaking and temper tantrums are not part of the family friendly 'Dancing.'

Brown has since apologized for the incident, and GMA has said they would invite the singer back on the morning show.

Brown was confirmed on DWTS long before heated attack, as of now he still we be on the show next week.
