Dancing with the Stars - Our loss is their gain.

Warren waltzed his way into Carrie Ann's heart, Maurice jived and jumped up to show what he's got. Susan the touper danced in pain with sprained ankle but made it through and the rebel Lance was prim and proper which may have pleased Len but Bruno wanted some sparkle.

Toni bombed with her period costume and dance apparently. Cody and his energy didn't energize the judges and they turned a blind eye to the blindfold trick with Rocco. Cloris was wacky again. What can ya say, she's very entertaining.

Brooke's waltz charmed everyone and got the first 10 of the season.

And Misty bid farewell. That is certainly our loss.

Maks danced with Eddita in place of the usual reprieve dance, dedicating it to Misty to show the routine they were working on when she tore her achiles tendon. Energetic and very cute. I'm sad that she's gone and also that we won't get to see his talent more this season.

Scores from the judges last night go like this:

16 - Cloris and
20 Rocco
21 tied - Cody and Susan

22 tied Lance and Toni
24 Maurice
25 Warren
28 Brooke

First two safe couples (in no particular order) are Brooke & Derek, and Cloris & Corky. Her fans are working those phones for her! Next couple staying is Maurice and Cheryl.

They have a short segment with 3 top choreographers which pleased me because I think that's a key part of the competition that comes from the pros that often overlooked. Kudos to the choreography these dancers do with the hardest partners, beginners.

With Cloris safe, I'm predicting Rocco is out this week which is fine with me but I'm betting this is her last week. Susan Lucci is 60 years old, has a huge fan base and is dancing great. The others are all substantially younger and I just don't believe Cloris can keep up even with her fans.

They are doing a segment on injuries which is appropriate considering there have been more ambulances this season than every before. Maks talks about being in shock and there is a shot of him crying and kneeling talking on a cell phone after her injury.

In no particular order, safe are Warren & Kim and Toni and Alec. The remaining couples are separated by only two points in the judges scores. Rocco at 20, Lance at 22, Susan and Cody tied with 21.

No one is going home tonight. But they are going to reveal who would have been going home.
About last night, judges comments are: Len says Misty would not have been going home. Carrie says it's a real reprieve for the low scoring couple, Bruno says you all have what it takes, you've got to work and come back.

Next couple safe is Susan & Tony and Cody & Julieanne. The couple with the lowest combined total who would have been going home is Rocco and Karina.

They are going to combine the scores with this week with the scores from next week on Monday to determine who goes home next week so these low scores from tonight (for Rocco) will have to be overcome next week.

My guess is Rocco will go home next week and Cloris gets yet another week to play due to the unfortunate loss of Misty. As mentioned a few paragraphs up, I believe Cloris will be going home right after Rocco. I think she's managed to stay because of her broad and active fan base which is probably larger than his. But I don't think she can manage to beat any of the others. We will however, most likely, be entertained by her and amazed by Corky's choreography with her for two more weeks. See ya back here next week.
