Dancing with the Stars (week 7)

Well, as of this week we are down to 5 competing couples (wow, where did the time go?, feels like we just begun). The night started off with the ballroom round and a Quick Step from Kristi and Mark.

This dance seems to fit Kristi perfectly, she looked quite comfortable performing it. The score certainly reflected that and they were back on top with 29/30. Nearly perfect, but Carrie-Ann got nit picky again, she's starting to annoy me.

That's all I have to say about those two for now, sometimes I honestly feel like there's no point in commenting because, it's pretty obvious that Kristi will be in the final without a doubt.

I'm actually much more interested in watching the other couples and seeing whether they'll pick up their game to match and best Kristi.

I really hope the final won't be one sided and that whoever does make it gives Kristi a run for her money (my money is on Jason and Edyta).

Moving right along, Mario and Karina stepped it up a bit this week, but I still don't think they have what it takes to win.

I usually don't like to repeat myself (at least not too often) but I feel this bares repeating, I love watching Marissa dance!.

She's just so energetic and bubbly it's infectious. And I have to give her extra props this week for all those spins lifts and jumps (I keep forgetting she's pregnant). All power to her.

I thought her Foxtrot tonight was really fun and that she deserved a higher score (at least one or two points more). But instead she got 25/30.

Last week's score board leaders Jason and Edyta Tangoed their way into a tie with Kristi and Mark. Seriously, how sexy was that Tango?.

Cristian and Cheryl soldiered on despite his injury with surprising results. More on that later. Oh, and nice to see Marlee in the audience supporting her friend :).

The Latin round was next, Kristi and Mark and Edyta and Jason battled it out with their Samba's.

Kristi did another solid job and some impressive skating-like spins but still came quite short of perfection with only 26/30.

Personally I thought the dance was awesome, but I had a feeling the judges would once again be especially tough on Kristi.

That's what happens when you start out perfect, judges will have a tendency to want to knock you down a peg or two and the slightest mistake will cost you.

Jason and Edyta didn't fair too well, in the Latin round either and received their lowest score in a while 23/30 for their Samba.

Again I thought the judges were a bit harsh with the scoring, but I guess it's understandable since we're getting to the semi-finals, they expect more from everyone.

Still I thought they were all exceptionally cranky tonight. Especially Len, geez lighten up man! LOL.

Perhaps as a result of the crankiness Marissa didn't wow them with her Mambo and received the same score as in the ball room round.

Giving her a total of 50/60 the lowest of the night. I really hope people vote for both Marissa and Jason, because I really want them to stay to the end. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

As I mentioned earlier in my post the biggest surprise of the night were Cristian and Cheryl, he really went out to prove himself and came out on fire.

Delivering his best dances of the competition. And as a result received the highest scores of the night (becoming the score leader in fact with a total of 57/60).

Who knew he could actually dance better with one arm instead of two lol. All credit to Cheryl for what I'm sure was challenging, but impressive choreography.

As for my predictions I would like it to be Mario and Karina, but I fear it might be Marissa and Tony or possibly Jason and Edyta (although it will definitely be a shocker) and I hope it doesn't happen.

Looking forward to tomorrow's 100th episode special with all the returning faves. It's gonna be fun!. It'll be nice to see Mel B. and Max again:). Wonder if Marlee will participate?. Guess we'll see.
