(<em>S09E19</em>) It's been nine weeks on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><em>Dancing with the Stars</em></a> and I didn't expect to see Joanna, Kelly, or Donny around this long. Unfortunately, one of them was eliminated.<br />
<br />
For no reason, Melissa Rycroft showed up on this results show and slipped in the professional's performance. This was probably because her fans caused an uproar since she wasn't a candidate for the Design A Dance competition. Instead of "Sabrina was robbed" we got "Melissa was robbed," and ABC listened.<br />
<br />
It was a busy show, but the elimination was not a shocker to me. By this point, fan support outweighs the judges scores.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/18/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9-results-recap/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 9 Results</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/18/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9-results-recap/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19243836/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/18/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9-results-recap/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>alicia keys</category><category>AliciaKeys</category><category>bee gees</category><category>BeeGees</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>donny osmond</category><category>DonnyOsmond</category><category>dwts</category><category>joanna krupa</category><category>JoannaKrupa</category><category>kelly osbourne</category><category>KellyOsbourne</category><category>leona lewis</category><category>LeonaLewis</category><category>melissa rycroft</category><category>MelissaRycroft</category><category>mya</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:29:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Recap: Dancing with the Stars - Performance #9</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-recaps/" rel="tag">Episode Recaps</a></p><img hspace="4" height="134" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" alt="Joanna and Derek dance" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/dwts_joanna2.jpg" />(<em>S9E18</em>) For the first time in <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><em>Dancing with the Stars</em></a> history, the semifinalists have to dance three dances. Fortunately, their third dance was the dance-off they've been practicing for weeks. For the Latin dances, each of the contestants have to do a solo.<br />
<br />
With next week being the finals, all the contestants are stressed and more emotional than normal. There were a lot of tears being held tonight.<br />
<br />
As the contestants walked down, I couldn't help but gawk at how beautiful Kym Johnson looked in her tango costume. Unfortunately for her, it will probably lead to her and Donny's downfall.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Recap: Dancing with the Stars - Performance #9</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19242144/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/17/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-9/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>donny osmond</category><category>DonnyOsmond</category><category>joanna krupa</category><category>JoannaKrupa</category><category>kelly osbourne</category><category>KellyOsbourne</category><category>marie osmond</category><category>MarieOsmond</category><category>mya</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:12:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Review: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 8 Results</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/11/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8-results/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/11/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8-results/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/11/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8-results/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img hspace="4" height="254" border="0" align="top" width="425" vspace="4" alt="Dancing with the Stars' final five" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/dwts_top_five.jpg" /><br />
(<span style="font-style: italic;">S09E17</span>) <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dancing with the Stars</span></a> continues to chug along having five couples become four. With such a small number, the results shows feel even more stretched out, slowly saving contestants one at a time.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Encore </span>- <span style="font-style: italic;">Joanna &amp; Derek - Paso Doble</span> - Len thought that even though Mya had the higher score, the paso was so detailed that it deserved the encore. The two actually looked better with their hair tonight than last night; I could tell that it was them. On the second time around, I believed that they deserved a 30 and Mya only should have gotten a 29.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/11/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8-results/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 8 Results</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/11/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8-results/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19231862/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/11/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8-results/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>michael buble</category><category>MichaelBuble</category><category>susan boyle</category><category>SusanBoyle</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:32:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Recap: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 8</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-recaps/" rel="tag">Episode Recaps</a></p><img hspace="4" height="132" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" alt="Joanna &amp; Derek's paso doble." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/dwts_joanna.jpg" />(<span style="font-style: italic;">S09E16</span>) <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dancing with the Stars</span></a> is only two weeks away from the finals. With only five contestants left, each have to perform two dances to ensure that we fit the two hour block.<br />
<br />
The two dances consist of one ballroom and one Latin routine. The biggest flaw with having two dances was that everyone spent all their time making sure that the Latin dance was amazing, and their ballroom dances felt lazy.<br />
<br />
I'm shocked to see the seven paddle still around with only five contestants left. This season's quality level was nowhere near Shawn Johnson, Gilles Marini, and Melissa Rycroft last season.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Recap: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 8</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href=http://www.slashcontrol.com/free-tv-shows/dancing-with-the-stars>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19229897/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/10/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-8/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>aaron carter</category><category>AaronCarter</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>donny osmond</category><category>DonnyOsmond</category><category>dwts</category><category>joanna krupa</category><category>JoannaKrupa</category><category>kelly osbourne</category><category>KellyOsbourne</category><category>len goodman</category><category>LenGoodman</category><category>mya</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Susan Boyle is going to Dancing with the Stars</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality/" rel="tag">Other Reality Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/music-and-variety/" rel="tag">Music and Variety</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="174" border="0" align="right" alt="susan_boyle_singing" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/susan-boyle-singing-in-britains-got-talent-final-2.jpg" />Everybody's favorite singing newcomer, England's <a href="http://www.tvguide.com/News/Susan-Boyle-Appear-1011743.aspx">Susan Boyle, is going to appear on <em>Dancing With the Stars</em></a> this week. She will not be doing the samba or the quick step. Susan will be singing, promoting her upcoming CD,<em> I Dreamed A Dream</em>, in stores on November 24. <br />
<br />
Luckily for Susan, Sharon Osbourne will not be on the show. Or maybe it's lucky for Sharon because after the horrible things she said about SB, Susan would probably deck her if she had the chance. Last week, while on Sirius radio, Sharon was compelled to share her opinion of Susan's sudden success.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Susan Boyle is going to Dancing with the Stars</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227914/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>beauty</category><category>Britains Got Talent</category><category>BritainsGotTalent</category><category>CD</category><category>Dancing with the Stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>looks</category><category>music</category><category>Sharon Osbourne</category><category>SharonOsbourne</category><category>singing</category><category>Susan Boyle</category><category>SusanBoyle</category><dc:creator>Allison Waldman</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:01:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Review: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 7 Results</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/04/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7-results/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/04/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7-results/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/04/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7-results/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="232" border="0" align="top" alt="On Dancing with the Stars, Team Tango took on Team Paso Doble" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/dwts_battle.jpg" /><br />
(<span style="font-style: italic;">S09E15</span>) Last night on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dancing with the Stars</span></a> many of the dancers grew stronger than ever. With Mark &amp; Anna T. on the bottom, it guaranteed that they were either going home or dancing for their lives. Instead of having one performer singing two different songs, we have three performances thanks to <span style="font-style: italic;">DWTS</span> pimping the Ballas Hough Band.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Encore Performance </span>- <span style="font-style: italic;">Team Tango</span> - The second time around, the performance still had the sizzle and the strongest timing. Kelly had this dazed look this time, possibly because she was nervous for the dance-off. Joanna still was the strongest of the night, possibly because Derek's choreography that he gave her was the strongest.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/04/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7-results/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 7 Results</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/04/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7-results/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19221642/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/04/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7-results/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ballas hough band</category><category>BallasHoughBand</category><category>colbie caillat</category><category>ColbieCaillat</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>dwts results</category><category>DwtsResults</category><category>rod stewart</category><category>RodStewart</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:05:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Recap: Dancing with the Stars - Performance #7</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-recaps/" rel="tag">Episode Recaps</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="165" border="0" align="right" alt="Mya and Dmitry end their performance with a silhouette." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/dwts_mya2.jpg" />(<span style="font-style: italic;">S09E14</span>) It's week seven of <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dancing with the Stars</span></a>, and the pressure is on. Lacey Schwimmer was the victim of a cold; Anna Trebunskya has stepped in to help Mark Dacascos. The other victims tonight were the professionals who were forced to wear costumes designed by the celebrities. While it worked for Kelly, it backfired on Joanna.<br />
<br />
You know that there will be longer commercials between performances when you get a professional opening sequence. Five professionals and one woman who wasn't named performed a tango and paso doble. The dance was supposed to be an example of teamwork, but the paso and tango was also not as synchronized as I expected.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Recap: Dancing with the Stars - Performance #7</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19219998/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/03/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-7/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>aaron carter</category><category>AaronCarter</category><category>bruno tonioli</category><category>BrunoTonioli</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>kelly osbourne</category><category>KellyOsbourne</category><category>mya</category><category>paso doble</category><category>PasoDoble</category><category>tango</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:22:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Review: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 6 Results</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/28/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6-results/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/28/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6-results/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/28/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6-results/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img hspace="4" height="254" border="0" align="top" width="425" vspace="4" alt="Louie Vito and Chelsie Hightower jitterbug" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/dwts_louie.jpg" /><br />
(<span style="font-style: italic;">S09E13</span>) Tonight on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dancing with the Stars</span></a> there was some actual content tonight: the dance-off. Unfortunately, that meant that there was no encore performance. Instead we go right into Taylor Swift.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Musical Performance</span> - <span style="font-style: italic;">Taylor Swift </span>- <span style="font-style: italic;">"Jump then Fall"</span> - Anyone notice that the stage Norah Jones had last week was just audience chairs? Taylor Swift is a horrible live singer (squeaking every time she sang the word "jump"), but luckily we had some professionals who reminded me of Ryan &amp; Ashleigh from <em>So You Think You Can Dance</em>. Their lift near the end was the best part.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/28/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6-results/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 6 Results</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/28/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6-results/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19212442/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/28/review-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6-results/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>melissa joan hart</category><category>MelissaJoanHart</category><category>michael irvin</category><category>MichaelIrvin</category><category>taylor swift</category><category>TaylorSwift</category><category>tom bergeron</category><category>TomBergeron</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Recap: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 6</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-recaps/" rel="tag">Episode Recaps</a></p><img hspace="4" height="136" border="0" align="right" width="200" vspace="4" alt="Lacey drags a lifeless Mark across the dancefloor." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/dwts_lacey.jpg" />(<em>S09E12</em>) <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dancing with the Stars</span></a> had the Waltz or Jitterbug for individual dancing, but the big twist tonight was the Mambo group competition. All the couples will dance the mambo at the same time. The judges determine the elimination: as the couples dance, Len holds up a paddle and that team is eliminated. The first couple cut gets two points while the last team standing earns ten.<br />
<br />
As the contestants walk down, both Louie Vito and Chelsie Hightower trip on the way down. It's a bad omen and never a good way to start the show.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Recap: Dancing with the Stars - Performance 6</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19210526/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/27/recap-dancing-with-the-stars-performance-6/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bruno tonioli</category><category>BrunoTonioli</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>len goodman</category><category>LenGoodman</category><category>samantha harris</category><category>SamanthaHarris</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:42:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>TV Squad's APB Podcast: Balloon Boy, The Simpsons, DWTS, and more</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/22/tv-squads-apb-podcast-balloon-boy-the-simpsons-dwts-and-mor/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/22/tv-squads-apb-podcast-balloon-boy-the-simpsons-dwts-and-mor/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/22/tv-squads-apb-podcast-balloon-boy-the-simpsons-dwts-and-mor/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/the-simpsons/" rel="tag">The Simpsons</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/site-announcements/" rel="tag">Site Announcements</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/podcasts/" rel="tag">Podcasts</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-squad-apb-podcast/" rel="tag">TV Squad APB Podcast</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-squad-podcast/" rel="tag">TV Squad Podcast</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="206" border="0" align="right" alt="TV Squad logo" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/04/tv-squad-logo_200x206.shkl.png" />Podcast time again!

<br />
<ul>
    <li>The whole <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/Balloon+Boy">Balloon Boy</a> fiasco and why the 24-hour news networks were so fixated on it,</li>

    <li>A discussion on why <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/The-Simpsons/">The Simpsons</a></em>, especially the "Treehouse of Horror" series, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/i-remember-when-the-treehouse-of-horror-was-appointment-tv/">is in decline</a>,</li>

In last night's recap, we got to see Joanna's stumble at a different angle, her heel got caught in Mak's pant leg. The trip followed. <br /><br />Behind the scenes we found out that Kelly hurt her foot and her father was by her side supporting her. Ozzy is such a cool father. Her foot's sprained, but she should be fine.<br /><br />After all the Norah Jones performances and a repetition of the words "jeopardy" and "Michael Jackson," a doozy of an elimination surprisingly eliminates a strong competitor.

Turns out that flu-like symptoms hit Mark, as well, but he recovered quickly enough.<br />
<br />
It's a night of passion and hi-jinks with the Argentine Tango, Paso Doble, and the Hustle. I was disappointed with the order. The last five solos consisted of four Argentine Tangos and one Paso Doble. <br />
<br />
I don't often like complaining about Samantha Harris but I really have to suggest that she goes back to classic straight hair and tasteful dress.

Apparently, the four new dances provided a bigger challenge for all the people who had to lead the dance.<br /> <br /> With the musical guest being Shakira, I was hoping that I could see a live performance of "She Wolf." Alas, she didn't perform the song, so I'm stuck hearing it for every commercial for <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/desperate-housewives/">Desperate Housewives</a></em>. There was no Macy's Stars of Dance performance, so there was a lot more unnecessary filler than in previous weeks.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/14/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4-results/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 4 Results</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/14/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4-results/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19194941/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/14/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4-results/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>aaron carter</category><category>AaronCarter</category><category>chuck liddell</category><category>ChuckLiddell</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>michael irvin</category><category>MichaelIrvin</category><category>shakira</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:15:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 4</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="149" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/dwts_kelly.jpg" alt="Kelly Osbourne basks in the passion of dance." /><em>(S9E08) </em>This week on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dancing with the Stars</span></a> we welcome four new dances: Two-Step, Bolero, Charleston, and Lambada. Lifts are allowed, so Carrie Ann really has no reason to be here this week. Also, most of the professionals have no clue what they are doing this week.<br />
<br />
With the opening credits being shown, I know it's going to be one of those nights where it's dance, commercial, dance, commercial, with a lot of Tom hyping up the results show. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of fast forwarding past Samantha Harris. I really dislike the use of the 60-second commercials; let me get the scores right after the judging.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 4</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19193438/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/13/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-4/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>chelsie hightower</category><category>ChelsieHightower</category><category>chuck liddell</category><category>ChuckLiddell</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>louie vito</category><category>LouieVito</category><category>mya</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:43:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 3 Results</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/07/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3-results/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/07/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3-results/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/07/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3-results/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img hspace="4" height="254" border="0" align="top" width="425" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/dwts_tom_delay.jpg" alt="Tom DeLay and Cheryl Burke get a good joke from Tom Bergeron" /><br />
<em>(S09E07) </em>With the return of Len Goodman, a thirteen-point difference <span suggestions="separated,serrated,separates,separate,suppurated" class="misspell">separated</span> all the contestants on<em> <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/">Dancing with the Stars</a></em>. Even with two bum feet, Tom <span suggestions="Delay,De Lay,De-Lay,Dela,Delly" class="misspell">DeLay</span> managed to beat Michael Irwin's score. As the credits roll, I think the opening sequence needs to take a hint from <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/survivor/"><em>Survivor</em></a> and make edited versions where eliminated contestants are removed from the opening every week. <br />

The big drama tonight was whether or not there would be a single elimination or a double. We get a recap of last night: kissing, Paula Abdul, and dancing. The judges made a very interesting choice for an encore.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/07/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3-results/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 3 Results</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/07/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3-results/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19186821/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/07/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3-results/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>jabbawockeez</category><category>queen latifah</category><category>QueenLatifah</category><category>steve wozniak</category><category>SteveWozniak</category><category>tom delay</category><category>TomDelay</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:45:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Tom DeLay to quit Dancing with the Stars tonight</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/tom-delay-to-quit-dancing-with-the-stars-tonight/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/tom-delay-to-quit-dancing-with-the-stars-tonight/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/tom-delay-to-quit-dancing-with-the-stars-tonight/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a></p><img hspace="4" border="0" align="textTop" vspace="4" alt="Tom DeLay and Cheryl Burke" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/10/tom_delay.jpg" /><br /> <a href="http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/10/06/tom-delay-to-quit-dancing-with-the-stars/"><em>People Magazine</em></a> has gotten the news that Tom DeLay will officially be dropping out of <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><em>Dancing with the Stars </em></a>tonight. His double stress fractures were finally too much to bear. I have sneaking suspicion that Tom got enough votes to survive into next week and was strongly advised to quit. <br /> <br /> Quitting is the classiest thing for Tom DeLay to do at the moment. He probably wouldn't survive another week and Cheryl would have to tip-toe around choreography next week. This also gives yet another a second chance for Debi Mazar and Michael Irvin to prove themselves.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/tom-delay-to-quit-dancing-with-the-stars-tonight/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Tom DeLay to quit Dancing with the Stars tonight</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/tom-delay-to-quit-dancing-with-the-stars-tonight/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19186644/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/tom-delay-to-quit-dancing-with-the-stars-tonight/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>injury</category><category>tom delay</category><category>TomDelay</category><category>withdrawal</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:30:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Is Dancing with the Stars always this crazy?</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/is-dancing-with-the-stars-always-this-crazy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/is-dancing-with-the-stars-always-this-crazy/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/is-dancing-with-the-stars-always-this-crazy/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/watercooler-talk/" rel="tag">Watercooler Talk</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a></p>Has <em>SNL</em> done a <a href="http://www.slashcontrol.com/free-tv-shows/dancing-with-the-stars"><em>Dancing with the Stars</em></a> spoof yet?

I'm showing the clip below (click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8EBBJIQOqg#t=1m59s">here</a> if you want to skip all that dancing) because it not only has Donny Osmond about to make out with judge Bruno but it also has one of the great TV quotes of the year (concerning Utah), someone mentioning Donny should have used more tongue, the phrases "airy fairy" and "turn to the dark side," and random clapping from stars from <em>Modern Family</em> (I know, I'm sure many ABC stars show up for some cross-promotion).<br />
<br />
Good thing that Paula Abdul was there to bring an air of normalcy and logic to the whole evening.

This week was a full Latin night with the Samba and Rumba.<br /> <br /> When Chuck walked down the stairs I couldn't help but laugh at his arm frill, but Cheryl and Tom DeLay walked down as the American flag. I was laughing so hard that I didn't even notice that Debi's outfit killed all of Aaron Carter's Muppets.<br /> <br /> There has been some drama with Tom DeLay's feet. Find out after the jump what happened to him.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 3</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19185341/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/06/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-3/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>cheryl burke</category><category>CherylBurke</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>debi mazar</category><category>DebiMazar</category><category>dwts</category><category>kelly osbourne</category><category>KellyOsbourne</category><category>len goodman</category><category>LenGoodman</category><category>paula abdul</category><category>PaulaAbdul</category><category>tom delay</category><category>TomDelay</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:20:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 2 Results</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/30/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2-results/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/30/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2-results/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/30/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2-results/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><img hspace="4" height="197" border="0" align="right" width="250" vspace="4" alt="Tom DeLay almost drops his partner Cheryl" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/09/dwts_tom.jpg" /><em>(S09E05)</em> Monday was the first night that all fourteen contestants danced against each other on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><em>Dancing with the Stars</em></a>. With the help of Baz Lurhmann, the scores were too close for week two.<br />
<br />
We get the first opening sequence and I vomited seeing it. With too many contestants, the names and faces swooped by too fast in swirled high-def colors. Having Macy Gray and Ashley Hamilton back to back is ironic and laughable. <br />
<br />
Samantha is apparently growing a nest for birds. I kept trying to look for myself in her mirror neck-piece. It's a shame because the dress is pretty, but the hair and accessories failed her.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/30/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2-results/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 2 Results</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/30/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2-results/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19178791/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/30/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2-results/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>baz luhrmann</category><category>BazLuhrmann</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>falltv</category><category>joss stone</category><category>JossStone</category><category>selena gomez</category><category>SelenaGomez</category><category>stomp the yard</category><category>StompTheYard</category><category>usc trojans</category><category>UscTrojans</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:20:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 2</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/29/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/29/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/29/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="tag">Dancing With The Stars</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><span style="font-style: italic;"><img hspace="4" height="173" border="0" align="right" width="250" vspace="4" alt="Melissa Joan Hart makes a funny face before starting her performance." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/09/dwts_melissa.jpg" />(S09E04)</span> We had three dances on <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/dancing-with-the-stars/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dancing with the Stars</span></a>: Jive, Tango, and Quickstep. It's a good change from having two dances back to back to having three different styles. The dancers had about 57 seconds to impress the judges and America. If anyone counted, we had less than 14 minutes of dance for a two hour show (about 80 minutes without commercials).<br />
<br />
To soften the harshness of week two, Baz Lurhmann replaced Len Goodman, giving Len time from traveling between this show and British counterpart <em>Strictly Come Dancing</em>. He mostly used the term "Uncle Len" and graded dancers with sevens. Still, he was better than Michael Flatley.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/29/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dancing with the Stars: Performance 2</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/29/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19177384/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/29/dancing-with-the-stars-performance-2/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>baz luhrmann</category><category>BazLuhrmann</category><category>cheryl burke</category><category>CherylBurke</category><category>dancing with the stars</category><category>DancingWithTheStars</category><category>dwts</category><category>falltv</category><category>kelly osbourne</category><category>KellyOsbourne</category><category>mark decascos</category><category>MarkDecascos</category><category>mya</category><category>tom delay</category><category>TomDelay</category><dc:creator>Michael Pascua</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:42:00 EST</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
