DWTS Season 9: Down To 4
How can you not give Donny points for putting on that mullet – and those sideburns? If Prince and Michael Jackson had the same dad, he’d look just like that – from the hair to the makeup to the jacket! Was that get up (and his dancing, of course) enough to get Donny to the semi-finals? Find out after the jump!
The judges listened to Tom and chose a repeat of Joanna and Derek’s futuristic paso doble to start the show. It was just as good as the first performance!
Holy Hugh Hefner! Why was the ultimate Playboy in the audience with his bunnies? Oh, I can only dream that Hef will be a contestant on the show some day!!
Here’s the leaderboard:
1. Mya & Dmitry – 59 points
2. Joanna & Derek – 52 points
3. Kelly & Louis – 51 points
4. Donny & Kym – 50 points
4. Aaron & Karina – 50 points
The first couple moving on to the semi-finals: Joanna & Derek.
First time filler of the night: yet another recap of Monday’s performances. Um, I watched the show so I’m FFing through this.
Michael Buble performed “Haven’t Met You Yet.”
The next couple safe: Mya & Dmitry.
“Dance Center” is back. Kenny Mayne, Len Goodman, Jerry Rice and Stacy Keibler talk about the top five.
Joanna:
Len said you don’t get them hotter than Joanna.
He said she needs to work on polish – work on footwork, arms, chemistry.
Kenny pointed out her laugh. Jerry said she reminds him of a seal.
Donny:
Len said Donny is second to none as a showman and performer.
Kenny asked how old Donny is because he acts like a three-year-old on sugar.
Jerry said he hopes to have that much energy when he’s 82.
Kenny brought up the Donny/Bruno kiss. Len said he’s lovable and kissable and doesn’t know why he wasn’t chosen for a smooch.
Stacy asked Donny what’s going on with him and Bruno. Donny says they have a platonic celebrity/judge relationship. Then, Bruno was there telling Donny what a good performance he had.
Aaron:
Len said Aaron started strong, his confidence has grown, he’s the first dancer Len gave a 10 to.
Kenny brought up Aaron’s crying incident. Jerry said there’s no crying in ballroom. Len tried to defend him. Then, they showed Aaron crying out in pain during training. Jerry called him fragile “like a snowflake resting on a lily.”
That Macy’s “Design a Dance” is back. Sabrina Bryan was chosen to dance with Mark Ballas. They performed a paso doble to “Eye of the Tiger.” The tops of their costumes looked like tigers. Seeing these two dance together again was pure magic. I still don’t understand why Sabrina was eliminated from the competition. That girl can DANCE!
Michael Buble performed “Feeling Good.”
The next couple safe: Donny & Kym.
That leaves Aaron & Karina and Kelly & Louis in jeopardy.
Susan Boyle made her US television debut to perform “I Dream A Dream.” She has a lovely voice. Can’t watch her though. Makes me uncomfortable.
More “Dance Center.”
Kelly:
Len said Kelly is an enigma. She performs fantastic sometimes, then can dance without energy.
Kenny pointed out Kelly swears like a trucker, then they showed bleeped clips to prove it. Len said she’s lovely. Then Len was bleeped.
Mya:
Kenny wanted to talk about Dmitry. He thought he was on a soap.
Jerry said she was hot.
Len said Mya is an accomplished dancer. He said Mya keeps doing gimmicks (dusting the judge’s desk, for example). Jerry said Mya can dust at his house any time.
Kenny said Mya has anger issues, then showed clips of her hitting Dmitry.
Len said all five dancers has the potential to win. Kenny said it’s because there are five left. Len said Kenny has the hair and attitude of a hooligan.
Then, a strange little game to “predict the winner.” Kenny rattled the board and said Mya would win. We’ll see…
One last elimination. The couple who will not dance in the semi-finals: Aaron & Karina. Wow! Split screen showed two completely different couples – with Karina looking not at all surprised and Aaron looking disappointed, then Kelly & Louis super happy.
Len said the dedication Aaron showed week after week was fantastic. He called Aaron an inspiration to young people that anything was possible. He said if Aaron was his son, he’d be so proud of him. But more important, he said Aaron should be proud of himself because he’s been great.
If my recap wasn’t enough for you, watch the show online right here.
Next week, the couples will perform three routines for a shot at the finals. See you then!
