"Dancing with Stars" Season 7
apskip:
Here are the scores for the ballroom round and the Latin dance round tonight:
Cody/Edyta 8 8 8 24 Foxtrot 8 8 8 24 Mambo
Brooke/Derek 10 8 10 28 Tango 9 9 9 27 Mambo
Maurice/Cheryl 8 8 8 24 Quickstep 8 8 8 24 Paso Doble
Lance/Lacey 9 8 9 26 Foxtrot 8 7 9 24 Samba
Warren/Kym 10 9 9 28 Tango 9 8 9 26 Jive
Cody/Edyta total 48
Brooke/Derek total 55
Maurice/Cheryl total 48
Lance/Lacey total 50
Warren/Kym total 54
There were some interesting things said on tonight's show. One was about Julianne's recovery. She will be dancing on the results show tomorrow night. Len scored Brooke/Derek and Lance/Lacey lower than the other judges. As a result, Tom Bergeron was able to quip "an 8 from Len is the equivalent of an 11 from Michael Flatley."
The idea of 15 second solos was pretty strange in the context of the selected dances. I found Brooke's opening number had little to do with the rest of that dance and each of the other stars had a similar problem.
This leaves 3 teams with 50 points or less from tonight's dances. On the bubble are Cody/Edyta, Maurice/Cheryl and Lance/Lacey. I think that they all have some following, but probably Maurice has the least. I predict that Maurice will be the one eliminated tomorrow night. I see this as a contest between Brooke/Derek and Warren/Kym, so it really doesn't matter which of the 3 above goes out tomorrow, which next week, and then which one will finish third in the finals.
RealityFreakWill:
My prediction for the results show will be:
Bottom Two:
Cody/Edyta
Maurice/Cheryl
Julianne has a huge fan following and all of her fans are dying to see her dance again, therefore, will be voting to save Cody
Getting the boot will be Maurice/Cheryl
Prediction for Final 3:
Brooke/Derek
Cody/Julianne
Lance/Lacey
Final 2:
Brooke/Derek
Lance/Lacey
To win the trophy is too early to call.....I'll predict on it later! LOL

An interesting article:
Monday’s Dancing: What You Didn’t See
Solo Without the Safety Net: Beyond having to master two dances in one week of practice, the remaining celebs had to also incorporate a 15-second solo dance–a notion that was met with both fear and excitement from the remaining five contestants. “I was scared because Derek is my safety net out there,” front-runner Brooke Burke later admitted, “Sometimes he’s the only thing that keeps it together for us.” “I wasn’t nervous, ” Maurice Greene said of his paso doble performance. “I actually got a little bit excited for it. I just wanted to do something cool that would ‘wow’ the people. I’m up there twirling that cape around, and people tell me that it looks good, but I don’t know what’s happening. All I see is purple and silver going around in a circle!” Former ‘N Syncer Lance Bass agreed, saying, “The solo was my favorite part and I think I’m much better at dancing by myself. The hardest part for me is when I’m connected to Lacey … my pigeon toes make me very clumsy, and I’m stepping all over her feet.”
Big Boy as Bond? Warren Sapp delivered a cool tango in a sparkly tuxedo that had judge Bruno Tonioli proclaiming, “Watch out, James Bond!” But Sapp wasn’t about to let the post-dance praise–or his first 10 of the season– go to his head. “Secret agents don’t wear shimmering tuxedoes,” Sapp said, “I do, because I’m so big, I can’t hide anyway, so I might as well let them see me coming.” But the NFL star couldn’t resist toying with the notion of a 007 of another color. “They don’t have a black James Bond,” Sapp said, “but now that we have a black president, why not? Just give me the role, and give me that Aston Martin!”
From ‘Barefoot’ too Pigeon-Toed: Len Goodman welcomed Lance Bass’s classic foxtrot, calling it the, “Extreme Makeover” of the dancefloor. But he was less kind toward the pair’s samba, criticizing Bass’s poor footwork. “I forgot about my feet being turned in,” Bass admitted. “I was so focused on the balls of my feet and heel-toe leads, I forgot about my pigeon toes. In my defense, that’s a lot to think about.” When it was pointed out that last season’s champ, Kristi Yamaguchi, was born with a club foot, Bass could only chuckle. “If she could win it, then maybe my pigeon toes give us a ‘leg’ up!”
Last Girl Standing: As the last woman in the competition, Brooke Burke is starting to feel the heat. Burke says that the notion of judge Len Goodman judging her as a professional dancer is ‘bittersweet’. “There’s so much pressure, and I make mistakes that they may let slide if they weren’t judging me to such a high standard,” said Burke. “I really respect Len, and I’m sure that everything he said was true, and he still gave us a nine, and I can take it, because Derek is really my toughest critic.” But the mother of four does have her eye on the mirror-ball trophy. “It’s so close and we’ve worked so hard!” Burke said. “If we win, I know that the trophy will be rotating bedrooms with my three little girls, and this is something that they have already discussed amongst themselves!”
More from Inside the Ballroom:
• The front row of the ballroom was a DWTS reunion of sorts, with season five’s Mark Cuban sitting next to season four’s Leeza Gibbons. The pair only one seat away from season seven casualty Corky Ballas. During the pre-show intros, Cuban gave judge Carrie Ann Inaba a solo standing ovation, which brought the judge rushing across the dancefloor to hug Cuban and Gibbons.
• Always-cool host Tom Bergeron affected a case of the pre-show jitters to get a laugh out of co-host Samantha Harris. Just as the show was about to go live, Bergeron faked a panic attack. Harris played along, calmly fanning her co-host with her hands as she looked to the audience for help.
• With the show about to go live, Harris snuck away and stole a kiss from her hubby Michael Hess in the audience. She later broke away mid-show to seek out her husband once more. Hess was all smiles but slightly embarrassed by the DWTS PDA, laughing to his fellow audience members after each encounter with his wife.

Julianne Hough: "I'm Back And Sick Of Sitting On The Couch"
Hey Everyone,
Just so you know, I’m up and back and sick of sitting on the couch. I just did my radio phoners and now I’m going to see Cody right now. I’m doing the CMAs tomorrow, so we don’t be able to practice tomorrow. We’re going to practice today for about half an hour with Len in his master class.
Even if he gets kicked off tonight, we’ll still practice. I don’t think he’ll get kicked off. Edyta is doing a great job with him. But he’s down there with Maurice. I think his charisma and humor is coming off and people are loving him. What’s great is that’s really him. I was on the floor laughing last night during his solo. I thought one of my stitches was going to pop out.
Speaking of stitches, my surgery was good. It was scary. It was supposed to take an hour but took 45 minutes longer. It was a good thing I went in because not only did I have the endometriosis things that needed to be lasered off, but I had a cyst on an ovary and scarred tissue from my appendix that had connected to my right hip. It looked like I had a small case of appendicitis at some point in my life. But everything went well and I feel great. I feel like I have more energy than I did a few weeks ago. It’s nice to feel good and healthy again.
I was a little embarrassed for the whole country to see me in bed. I was like that’s so lovely. I didn’t have any makeup on and my face was swollen…it was great. But I wasn’t going to put makeup on. That would’ve looked stupid. But my recovery went smoothly. I got so much support. Rascal Flatts sent me flowers, other people sent flowers…there were enough flowers to make me think I was at my own funeral. That’s kind of gross, but true.
My mom and Chuck took great care of me. I don’t think I could’ve gotten through it so smoothly without both of them there. I got to lay on the couch, watch movies, and play with Lexi, who seemed to know there was something wrong. She’d cuddle up around my neck and seemed to know not to go near my stomach.
As for dancing, I haven’t done anything until …well, Sunday night I got up. Sunday was the turning point. Last night I was doing some stuff and it felt great. Watch the show tonight – there’s going to be a surprise.
I’m taking a red eye tonight to get to Nashville by tomorrow morning. I’m hosting the pre-show for the CMAs tomorrow with Craig Morgan. It’s going to be a long day. I’m excited. I grew up being inspired by all these artists and now I get to interview them and sit in the audience near them.
I’m definitely planning to dance with Cody next week – if he makes it through tonight. I have some great ideas. I’m very excited to get back.
One more note to everyone on Fancast who reads my blogs and writes in. I want to thank all of you for your support and prayers. I’m doing great and it meant the world to me to hear from you.
Talk to you tomorrow!
I’m glad to be back…
Julianne
