Bruno Tonioli - That is the way to go! Score 8
Total 24 out of 30 - combined score
Adam Carolla & Julianne Hough -
Of course he’ll be dancing the Paso Doble. Trying a different move this week - Adam rides in on a unicycle.
My Take - Adam’s going home - he might be funny but he still can’t dance.
Carrie Ann Inaba - It was fantastic until you got off the unicycle - Score 6
Len Goodman - Genius and insanity go hand in hand. -Score 7
Bruno Tonioli -You are not much of dancer. - Score 6
Total 19 out of 30
Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez
My Take - I have to say that it’s pretty amazing to imagine that Marlee can’t hear all the music and yet is able to connect with it somehow. Well done!
Carrie Ann Inaba - You made me cry - you really touched me. Score 8
Len Goodman - Very very good. Score 8
Bruno Tonioli - Totally focused in the role. Score 8
Total 24 out
Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas -
My Take - What was up with that song —- for a bull fight? What were they thinking? Their technique was the best - but there’s so little feeling in what they’re doing.
Carrie Ann Inaba - You set the standard for the competition! Score 10
Len Goodman - It is always to the same with you. Score 9
Bruno Tonioli - I override you Len 10
Total 29 out of 30
Mario & Karina Smirnoff -
Danced the Paso Doble
My Take - I loved that ending!
Carrie Ann Inaba - Much better than last week. - Score 8
Len Goodman - All guns blazing. - Score 7
Bruno Tonioli - You’ve got one style of dance - wild! - Score 9
Total 24 out of 30
Looks like it’ll be Pricilla or Adam going home this week.
Overall a great night of dancing. I think I like the dances better without out the vocals…
Did you agree with the Judges? After tonight’s performances - who do you think will be going home?

I think Marissa or Adam will go home tonight—probably Adam because Marissa did so much better this week than before.

With regards to you comment (Kristi & Mark) regarding the music choice, none of the couples has a choice when it comes to music. It is actually given to them by the producers. I think Adam should go home. He is by far the worst dancer.
