Every week, I post a YouTube video of one or more of the Dancing with the Stars performances. By far, the ones with the most views are of Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer. Lance and Lacey dances about double the amount of views of other posted performances. Maurice Greene and Cheryl Burke are no match, Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson get some attention, and Mark Ballas and Kim Kardashian get outviewed by his dad, Corky Ballas, and the now-eliminated Cloris Leachman.

The only couple that comes anywhere close is Derek Hough and Brooke Burke, but only for their Too Erotic Samba. Wonder if this viewership is any indication of who will win the DWTS Mirror Ball trophy?

What a funked up Dancing with the Stars in the sixth week of competition. Must be cause Halloween is coming up, but what a strange show. First off, Head Judge Len Goodman was no where to be seen, replaced by the Lord of the Dance, Michael Flatley. This rookie judge had some questionable scores, contradicting Carrie Ann and Bruno. And what was with Carrie Ann and Bruno’s bickering the entire night?

The plague of injuries continues to haunt Season 7. Brooke Burke’s foot is jacked up limiting her mobility on the night she performed the rumba, the most sensual of the dances. The Lord was going majestic on Ms. Wild On giving this performance a 10 to Bruno and Carrie Ann’s 8. I thought Cody Linley and Julianne Hough’s samba was good but the judges didn’t agree. And now Julianne is going under the knife to remove her appendix for what I thought I heard was endometriosis? Cody will dance on with the return of hotness personified, Edyta Sliwinska.

Break through Maurice Greene reverted back to mediocre material. Cloris Leachman is approaching the judges’ death knell with substantially lower scores. This week all 5’s across the board. I can’t believe jokester Warren Sapp was feared in the NFL.

Lance Bass is back from being in the bottom two last week. My pick for this week.

And lastly, even though Susan Lucci showed signs of life out on the dance floor, she should be eliminated just for her performance in the group hip hop. This New Yorker proved that hip hop is definitely a West Coast thing, looking lost and awkward while trying to bust the funk, yo. Erica Kane, you got to be steppin’!

Len Goodman, where ever you are, please come back and stop the funk.

Week 5 of Dancing with the Stars was unusual with its new dances and special recap episode (which came in very handy). This week’s dances included West Coast Swing, Hustle, Salsa, and Jitterbug. Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson’s Hustle was highly entertaining, but Maurice Greene’s Salsa with Cheryl Burke was the breakthrough performance of the evening.

Toni Braxton is singing another sad love song, being the semi-surprising elimination at the halfway point of the competition. Yes, Cloris is still hanging in there.
