It’s (in the words of Tom Bergeron) “the sexiest night of the season as the stars take on the Rrrrrumba or the Sammmmba. Ole!

Marie and Jonathan
Samba

Marie wants 10s. Will she get them? A very good dance for Marie’s personality. And she and Jonathan really are adorable together. She did a good job. My only issue with it was that it wasn’t really fast enough for me…not that a Samba should be speedy, but I would have liked it just a little faster. And I feel really bad saying that because Marie passed out and I really hope she is okay! This is live television of course, so they cut to commercial break so we’ll see when they get back. I think she was probably just dizzy and short of breath, but scary stuff. I love Marie! Back from commercial, she is okay, but Jonathan was holding on to her pretty tightly to make sure she stayed on her feet I bet.

Judges scores: 7 + 7 + 7 = 21

My score: 8 (cuz I think she deserves merit scores for that one!)

Jane and Tony
Rumba

I say it every week, but Jane is just so elegant and lovely on the dance floor. The only criticism I have of this rumba is that there was a little too much posing and not enough dancing, but the posing was definitely pretty!

Judges scores: 8 + 9 + 9 = 26

My score: 9

Mark and Kym
Samba

Mark playing a nerd? Well that’s typecasting if I ever saw it…lol! Kym makes an adorable genie though. It was kind of a bizarre song for the Samba, but they made it work. Mark’s New Yorkers (I think they are called) were a little awkward and it felt like he had his chin up too high during most of the dance, but I did enjoy it. Mark always looks like he’s having such a good time out there!

Judges scores: 7 + 7 + 7 = 21

My score: 7

Sabrina and Mark
Rumba

Why do they always give her the crappiest costumes? Some very pretty poses going on, but her costumes tend to be really distracting to me. She has a womanly body (and I am NOT saying she is fat because she is not!), but she’s also young. I wish they would give her better costumes. A very nice Rumba, though.

Judges scores: 9 + 9 + 10 = 28

My score: 9

Jennie and Derek
Samba

What is with wardrobe tonight? Those wrist cuffs were horrible. Jennie did okay with the shaking, but she is definitely better at the Ballroom dances than the Latin dances.

Judges scores: 8 + 9 + 8 = 25

My score: 8

Helio and Julianne
Rumba

Very yummy. The one thing I would criticize is that he was so focused that he was almost too focused. But I disagree with the judges that there was no chemistry.

Judges scores: 8 + 7 + 8 = 23

My score: 8

Mel B and Maks
Samba

Wow! That was my favorite dance of the night so far. A perfect dance to show off her personality. And she has no problem shaking her bum for sure!

Judges scores: 10 + 9 + 10 = 29

My score: 10

Cameron and Edyta
Rumba

That was most definitely the sexiest Rumba of the night. Maybe the sexiest Rumba ever. That was hot.

Judges scores: 8 + 9 + 9 = 26

My score: 9
