So far...inconsistency is the word for the third week of competition. Thus far, the top competitors from last night are...
Leading at the top again this week, with a score of 27 out of 30....

Also, with a score of (27) out of (30) were Mel B and her partner Maxim.....

Tying with Sabrina and Mark...Mel B and Maxim ruled the jive category; This was Mel B's best dance yet..She came out with All Guns Blazing....a regular "Bouncing Bombshell, Excitement on Legs"...she is truly giving the other contestants a run for their money!
Also, a third place tie for (27) points, came from our Lady Jane and her partner Tony......dancing "The Tango"..

But...was this a mercy score? Was there symbolism tied into the recent loss of her mother? The judges referred to her performance "Worthy of a silent Movie Star", she put her heart and soul into the performance, that you could tell..."Every movement was a beautiful picture"...I feel she did ok...I thought she was a little stiff, but overall, not bad...I think she will still be here next week.
Scoring next with (26) out of (30)...Marie and Jonathan....dancing "The Tango"....

Marie did a fantastic job...it was a marvelous musical interpretation; the judges referred to her as "Mistress of Characters, Meryl Streep of Dance"...the dance and choreography really worked for her. In a word, very elegant.
With an unbelievable comeback...scoring (26), We have Jenny and Derek...Dancing "The Tango"...

Jenny came out, with attitude (in a good way) and something to prove. After her tumble last week, She performed the "comeback dance of the season". This dance easily put Jenny back in contendership. She was passionate, elegant, job well done.
Bruno referred to her as "Sharp, Tangy....Like a Pickle"...."Don't Cry for me Argentina"!
With a score of (24)...we have my man Helio and Julianne...dancing "The Jive"....this time around, he lost his first place lead..what a dissapointment.

Even still...I can't help but love him...he is so fun,with such a contagious excitement about him...He was not spot on with some of the steps, but he still did very well...I think if he works hard, next week, he can come back out on top! I do believe he was not fairyly judged, he deserved better than a 24.
Scoring (23) out of (30), we have handsome soap star Cameron and his partner Edyta...dancing "The Tango".....

This weeks dance was an overall improvement over last week...but, was considered g-rated. The Tango is a sexy, sizzling dance...Cameron and Edyta's version...not so much. Totally lacked the character the dance was meant to have. The tango, is a dance where the male should be "A lady killer"..."The Alpha Male" and with Cameron, you did not get that.
Scoring (21) out of (30)....were Floyd and Karina...dancing "The Jive"....

Floyd is in his element....he can "Talk the Talk", "Walk the Walk", "Dance the Dance"....Energy was great, overall did a very good job....he just needs to work on controlling his feet a little more...a little more structure is needed from his performances, in order for him to stick around in this competition.
Next to last in this competetion..with a score of (20) out of (30), we have billionaire Mark and his partner Kim....dancing "The Jive"....

Watching Mark..you can see he is as determined as ever to bring home Dancing with the Stars glory...he takes the training, everything involved, very seriously. He was very in control of the steps at first, but half way through..he kind of lost it a little. He needs to be lighter on his feet, less dancing with his face....He has to stop with the facial expressions. Makes it hard, as an audience, to take him seriously.
Last again, with a score of (18) out of (30)....were Wayne and Cheryl...dancing "The Tango"....

I wish I had a picture of their look last night....It was great. Wayne was sporting a ponytail/mustache, dressed in red/black..."very old Hollywood, a combination of Errol Flynn and Captain Hook"; very Zorro looking...He totally stayed in tune with his character...but, the downside, the Man is supposed to lead and Cheryl was actually leading him...therefore, the dance was a total disappointment. If it was not for his fan base, I believe he would have already been gone.
There you have it Dancing With the Stars fans...last nights recap....
Stay tuned tonight, 9 P.M...CBS...for the results show. Performers will be Hannah Montana (whoopie!)..not!....and Billy Ray Cyrus.
I am at a total loss as to who I think will go home. Scores say Wayne, but I thought that last week. It will be interesting to see.
Dixiechick....out!

Hi DC!
Excellent recap again!!
Sabrina and Mel were both outstanding!
I thought that some of the other contestants really improved this week, such as Marie, and Floyd, and even Jenny, but there was also some disappointment. I felt that Cameron did poorly, and Helio, as much as I love him, did not do as good of a job with the Jive as he did with the Mambo.
Soooooooo it's a tough call this week! There are a few that really should NOT be going on, but their fan base, once again, could save them.
Soap opera fans are VERY loyal, so I think Cameron will be saved.
I'm not sure what kind of fans Jenny has, so if they don't support her strongly, she may be the one leaving. She DID improve this week, but I personally don't think she is as good as Sabrina, Mel, Helio, etc.
Wayne.....now THERE is a situation! He is simply awful on the dance floor.......but has so many fans, of all ages, that are such followers!! So he may luck out this week, but his time to leave is coming!
Also Mark Cuban.......he did not do so well last night....I'm not sure he was so smart to get into this competition right after hip surgery! It seemed that he was favoring his hip last night, and his dancing did not impress. He could be eliminated, if his fans don't come through for him. (I'm not sure......does he HAVE fans???)
We shall see what happens tonight!
It's fun, isn't it???

I just lurrrvvveee it!~I totally agree with you Linda..I think it comes down to Wayne and Jenny tonight....maybe Mark Cuban. Can't wait to find out.
I think it will probably be Mark, for exactly the reason you've discussed -- fan base. He tries really hard, but the man is NOT a dancer. Of course, Wayne is worse! But, I'm sure he does have millions of fans. And, many of them older. Interesting comparison is that in political elections, people over 60 are the most likely to vote! If that is the case with this, Wayne could -- egad -- WIN!!
Sandra
I agree, I think Mark is going home...He isn't very good, and does he have fans? Wayne is totally the worst dancer but he has uber fans....Can't wait to see what happens!
I think, when push comes to shove..Wayne will be out. Due to his fan base, I am sure he will be around for a little longer. I am thinking it will be Mark tonight as well.
Thank you for the recap! I missed the last episode and felt lost. I love your blog by the way...can't wait to read more! :)
