Poor Rocco :(

So... Because Misty and Maks withdrew from the competition, they announced the lowest scoring couple was Rocco and Karina. I feel bad. Rocco is terrible, but I LIKE him! It makes me sad that he is so awful; but I'm afraid there is no hope for him...

But let's start from the beginning:

Maurice & Cheryl performed a samba with a disco flare. I hated it. The costumes were awful, the routine was a bit cheesy. I think Cheryl could have put a better routine together for Maurice. The judges felt the same way...

Cody & Julianne danced a tango, and I believe they will be safe. It was not incredible but it was good enough to keep them safe. I think the judges have been a bit hard on them, but I think that's part of being the youngin' 

Toni & Alec's samba was Toni's best performance thus far, in my opinion. She seemed more confident than she has in past performances. And I'm sorry, but her body is smokin'! I enjoyed the routine and think she will likely be safe this evening.

Cloris & Corky... Unbelievable! She actually DANCED! And it was a decent tango! I still can't stand her talking over the judges... especially when they are trying to give her her first compliments! Anyway, she still needs to go. I'm sorry. But it's true.

Rocco & Karina performed a samba. I don't want to go on because I like Rocco... but the bottom line is he will likely go home tonight. If there were any justice Cloris would go! Although, I think she deserves to stay this week over Rocco. Depressing.

Susan and Tony danced a strong tango. It was pretty good... but I don't know why I get bored when they perform. I DO, however, love how gracious Susan is. She respectfully listens to the judges critiques, and you can see she is trying very hard. I appreciate that.

Brooke & Derek must win this competition. (or Warren and Kym) Brooke was fantastic! She shook what her mamma (and surgeon hubby) gave her in a sexy samba! And it was allll good. She is a natural... and what's more, a natural with NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE.

Kudos.

Lance & Lacey danced a dark tango... why is everything Lacey choreographs dark? Lighten up! You have the MOST experienced partner... I will say that this was at least a true tango. Good work.

Warren & Kym were great. I liked their samba a LOT. And I like that Kym has been on this show for a long time and it's great that she finally has a really good partner! I hope either Warren or Brooke win this competition...

What do you think?
