‘Dancing with the Stars’ - The competition heats up - Update
Perhaps it was because the really bad dancers are gone - whatever the case, it felt like tonight’s performances raised the bar - at least a little.
The emerging couple to beat this season is Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke. Their last few performances have been nearly flawless and have an average score of 27.4, the highest of all of the dancing couples.
As a side note, what the heck happened to Carrie Ann’s hair? It looked to me that her hair quadrupled in volume in just one week. For those of us with thinning hair want to know what shampoo she’s using. Ok, the caddy moment is over.
On a DWTS note, I loved the Lady Ga Ga “Poker Face” song. What a fun way to connect a traditional dance with an up-to-date song!
Here’s the scoreboard after tonight’s performances.

Do they glue those costumes on? Love the dancing. Do think it is time to have new judges- announcers. Tired of their antics,canned phrases, and often rude comments. Takes guts to dance out there. Maybe they would get some real stars…if they felt they would not be insulted.By Shantei
