Dancing With the Stars: Halloween Treats on the Dance Floor

We are really getting down to the nitty gritty now as the calendar is ready to turn to November.  That can only mean one thing for DWTS, it's time to celebrate Halloween.

We'll see what costumes the stars and pros don this week.  This week also marks the return of the team dance.  With six couples remaining, there will be two teams competing for points.

Pay special attention to Hope and Maks tonight as everyone will be watching to see how they react to the comments they received last week.  Maks was upset and I expect he will go all out tonight.

The studio is decked out like a haunted house and we are ready to get going.

Leading off tonight will be David Arquette and Kym Johnson.  They look to rebound from their quickstep last week with a cha cha.  David predicted this routine would be fun.  Good to hear some Steve Miller Band and good to see a lively dance.  Some good moves and a couple of surprises gives David a 24.  A good start to Halloween.

A little Ghostbusting next with J.R. and Karina.  They work hard on their tango throughout the week.  J.R. is the Ghostbuster and Karina is of course, the ghost.  Another solid performance by J.R.  He had a little timing issue, but it was still a fun routine.  J.R. gets a 25 out of 30.

Nancy Grace is next with Tristian.  They get a jive this week to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."  It started out bad for Nancy as she missed the first few moves.  It didn't get much better in my opinion as she was out of sync.  She gets a 21.

Rob Kardashian and Cheryl are up next with a routine to "The Adams Family."  Cheryl is working Rob hard and his body is getting sore.  They are hoping for 10's this week.  Rob was a bit stiff at the beginning, but they were in sync and played their characters well.  A good job by Rob, he gets a 25.

On to Ricki Lake and Derek.  Ricki is battling some nagging injuries at this stage of the competition.  Very showy and very dramatic.  A nice paso that the crowd loved.  The judges also liked it and Ricki gets a 27.

Everybody is waiting for Hope and Maks dance.  "Warren Zevon's "Warewolves of London" is the song and the samba is the dance.  Maks had an injured toe during rehearsals so Teddy from the troupe came in to help out.  It wasn't great, but it wasn't awful either.  The judges liked it better than I did and she gets a 24.

On to the the team dances.  It's team Tango up first.  This will be J.R., David and Nancy.  A well choreographed tango.  Wow, it was a long dance with each team getting to show some skills.  Lots of moves and it was pretty clean.  Len thought it could've been better and they get a 23 as a group.

Team Paso is up next. This team is made up of Ricki, Rob and Hope.  A lot of tension during the practice for this group dance.  Derek and Maks took the lead in getting this team ready.  It was dark and a little scary.  Good solo dances and a strong finish by Derek and Ricki. The judges loved it and they get a 26.

Nancy Grace may be in trouble tomorrow.

I hate to say it, but Justin Bieber tomorrow night.

Dancing With the Stars Results: Rick is "Out-Foxed"

(I'll be updating frequently)

In just a matter of less than 2 hours the votes will be counted and we'll have some winners and a loser. I'm not talking about the mid-term elections that are happening all over the country tonight.

I'm talking about who will be the next couple to be eliminated on Dancing With the Stars.

Bristol got surprisingly low scores, and some predict Kurt Warner will be the next out. I'm not sure how much fan support Kyle is getting at this point. As with other weeks, it all comes down to the votes. And I'm not talking about the Nevada Senate race.

The show got underway with Team Apolo's team dance from last night.

Now, on to the early results. Both Brandy and Bristol were happy with their dances, Brandy is safe and Bristol and Mark are put in jeopardy.

On a side note, good musical guests tonight with Taylor Swift and Rod Stewart. The show also gave some "Best of" awards to honor the 200th episode of Dancing With the Stars.

Next up for eliminations, Rick and Cheryl and Jennifer and Derek. Both couples had good nights last night. Jennifer and Derek are safe and surprisingly Rick and Cheryl were put for the moment into jeopardy.

Next to find out where they stand are Kyle and Lacey and the team of Kurt and Anna. Kurt and Anna are safe again and Kyle and Lacey end up in jeopardy.

One more couple is about to be put to safety. In a small surprise to some, Bristol and Mark are safe.

In addition to everything else going on this week, we were given a preview of the new show, Skating With the Stars. The show includes Rebecca Budig, Sean Young, and Vince Neil.

On to the final elimination of the night. Shocked to see Rick Fox and Cheryl eliminated. Kyle and Lacey remain to dance next week.
