DWTS Results show - Campy Campaign Ads - Politically Funny

If you haven't seen the show, watch for the pseudo "negative political campaign" ads. They are hilariously funny and make this results show that is otherwise predictable tonight, very funny and worth watching. The next similar political campaign ad will have me laughing just because I'll be remembering these spots from tonight's show. I loved it!


Review
They talk of Sir Dance a Lot, Cloris's tango, Carrie Ann talks about Erica Kane, Toni's sensuous Samba. Cody turns into "boy wonder". Brooke's Samba was too hot for Len but hit the spot for Bruno, the "sexiest Samba I've ever seen." Warren captivated the crowd but not the judges and their scores fell. Maurice's funky Samba wasn't "fabulous", and Rocco hasn't got a musical bone in his body according to Bruno and the other two.

Len picks the replay dance of Lance and Lacy. It starts of with some robot looking moves with Lance on the steps above Lacy but when they come down to the floor and dance together it's just very intense and energetic and as fun to watch tonight as it was last night. He has those sparkling blue eyes and his makeup for this dance is black eyeliner all around his eyes that really highlight them.

Tonight's special guests are a troupe of 7 male Flamenco dancers that are very good, and very HOT although it seems to me a bit like a mix between flamenco and cloggers but they are good and when they throw off their jackets and dance bare chested, well, it's fun to watch! Wolfie is a She-Wolfie after all.

Ranks on the combined score board are:
Cloris and Rocco tied for last.
A three way for fifth between Toni, Maurice and Cody
Susan is in fourth, Warren is third and Lance and Lacy in second. Leading the pack are Brooke and Derek. (As it should be.)

First couple safe is Susan & Tony. Joining them are Lance & Lacy. The first couple in the bottom 2 is Rocco & Karina. No surprise.

The ballroom kids competition next.

The kids - Mitchell and Jessica dance the Cha Cha Cha. They are of course as cute as they can be. Len tells them how great it was, crisp, great musicality. Bruno says the Cha Cha Cha is the cheekiest dance and they are the cheekiest. Carrie Ann asks about her costume, which she designed.

Hannah and Kirill dancing the Samba. These kids are fantastic. They look like the pros.
Carrie Ann asks their ages, which are Kirill 11 and Hannah is 10. Says they are fantastic. Len says they captured the flavor of the Samba, really working their bums. Bruno says how they really performed, they are really "performers" and it was great to watch.

Kirill and Hanna get Bruno and Carrie Ann's votes, Len votes for Mitchell and Jessica.

The kids really are cute and very talented. I am somewhat uncomfortable with kids in these types of competitions dancing adult dances intended to be sensuous. But then I'm not comfortable with the beauty pageants with little girls in a great deal of make-up with more than a hint of adult sensuality like the Jon-Benet Ramsey clips we've all seen. I always worry about them being pushed and/or thrust into an adult world when they should have more time as children. I do hope their ambition is their own.

The next couple safe is Brooke & Derek. Also safe Cody & JulieAnne, Toni & Alec, Warren & Kym, Maurice & Cheryl. The bottom two are Cloris & Corky and Rocco & Karina. I'm not sure anyone who has watched this season could not, or would not have guessed that was coming.

The couple going home tonight is Rocco & Karina. During the drawn out wait for the announcement Corky is still clowning around with Cloris. They are both really so much fun to watch. I suspect that next week will be her last.

At the end, Rocoo has Bruno come down from his judge's seat to show him how to make his hips move properly. And he does!

I am pretty sure next week will be Cloris and Corky's last dance. The only question is who will be in the bottom two with them. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Maurice & Cheryl are also in the bottom two but won't be going home. Maybe Cheryl will pull out some fantastic choreography to get their scores up so they are not at risk. None of the others couples are at risk to the extent that Cloris & Corky are next time. When they are gone I am not sure how it's going to shake out. Brooke and Derek, of course, are on a fast track to the finals as are Lance and Lacy. But there aren't any bad dancers in the lot if you ask me. I'll be looking forward to next week, as always.
