'Dancing With the Stars' results: Who goes home?
And it's another results night. I'll keep it short.
-- After a brief recap of last night's events (Kelly Osbourne went to the hospital, but will be fine to dance next week), the judges want to see Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson's Argentine tango. I missed the show last night, so this is my first time seeing their tango. I'm not blown away by it.
-- Throughout the show, we see the pros reflect on Michael Jackson as we see clips of past season's dancers performing to Jackson hits.
-- Norah Jones performs. Her new album is out next month. Not my type of music, but the dancing is cute.
-- First couple named safe are Mark Dacascos and Lacey Schwimmer, followed by Donnie and Kym and Mya and Dmitry Chaplin.
-- We see the dancers and stars putting on makeup, eating snacks and getting ready for the show. Cheesy filler.
-- Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough are in jeopardy. Note: Joanna danced with Maksim Chmerkovskiy last night since Derek had the flu. Kelly and Louis Van Amstel and are safe. Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff are in the bottom, too. After the commercial break, it's announced that Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova are safe; Natalie Coughlin and Alec Mazo are not.
-- Norah sings again. This time, it's "Come Away With Me." More dancing.
-- Louie Vito and Chelsie Hightower are safe (they're my favorite couple this season); Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas are in jeopardy. I'm thinking that they've used the word "jeopardy" too much, just as host Tom Bergeron jokes about using that word too much I keep wanting to type an exclamation point after it, like the title of the game show.
-- More MJ memories. The Macy's Stars of Dance performance is a tribute to the King of Pop, introduced by no one other than LaToya Jackson. She's rocking a long blue gown that I believe is connected to her wrist. The dance starts off with "I Want You Back," followed by "Man in the Mirror" and "Thriller." The "Thriller" portion is pretty sweet.
-- Next, we learn Melissa and Mark and Joanna and Derek are safe. We're down to the bottom two. Judge Bruno Tonioli says he's shocked that Aaron is at the bottom. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba says she's disappointed to see Natalie at the bottom. he Judge Len Goodman says something, but my TV decides to change over to "The Hills." Whoops! Still trying to figure out my Dish box! I flip back. And who's out? Natalie and Alec.

Look forward to reading your witty results posts hours before the show airs tape-delayed in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, we need to get up way too early in the morning here on the West Coast.

SKK, I normally agree with you, but I am shocked that Louie and Chelsie are your favorite couple this season. They have chemistry, but Louie doesn't dance. Len nailed it when he said he walks and then Chelsie does something and then he walks some more and Chelsie does something else.
Natalie had tons of athletic ability, but to us she never seemed comfortable with her partner, and I think that's why she never really connected with the audience, despite her skill.
Hi there, Dahlink. Sarah didn't write that recap; she's on vacation. It was me, occasional contributor Carla. Since I don't watch DWTS too often, perhaps Chelsie and Louie have just charmed me the couple times I've caught them dancing. My favorite couple, yes. Best dancers technically, nah. I always like the underdogs. -- CC

Thanks for the recap. I changed channels during all of the MJ stuff. (Didn't we spend the summer doing MJ retro?) I got sidetracked and never got back to DWTS.

It's not on talent that people are being graded by the public, but by popularity.Louie can't dance, he should have been voted off, not the graceful swimmer, that does know how to dance

Sorry for the mistaken identity, Carla--that's what I get for posting before I've had my coffee!
We adore Chelsie and would love to keep her around, but think it is likely that Louie will get the boot in the next week or two.
