Dancing with the Stars: The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth Edition

2 new dances! 2 "stars" eliminated 2morrow night! Samantha Harris is sick! And oh dear, based on the opening entrances, it's going to be an interesting night for ballroom fashion. Blinders are on, dancing can now commence!

David and Kym: The lindy hop, by definition, is not a pretty dance. It's not clean, or technical, or precise. This routine looked a little messy, but I think they did a decent job and Carrie-Ann was spot-on with her praise for their high energy level.

Lil Kim and Derek: Oh dear, Derek doesn't know how to do an Argentine tango - didn't this happen last year with the jitterbug? Shouldn't he - I dunno - review these things before the season starts? As much as I have been hard on these two, this was a fantastic routine. She hit some amazing lines and I thought the choreography was great. I'll admit when I'm wrong, and I was really wrong about this couple. And whoa, first 10 of the season! Bravo.

Chuck and Julianne: Chuck, you are a BABY. Julianne, stop giving into his whining! Geez. But okay, whatever, they're adorable. I agree with the judges that they need to kick their performances into the next gear. They're good, but they could be great.

Lawrence and Edyta: The Argentine tango is really the woman's showcase, so there wasn't a whole lot for Lawrence to do. The dance seemed a little blah - I was hoping for more fire, more passion. I think they're safe for tomorrow night, despite the mediocrity.

Ty and Chelsie: Whoopsie, what's Steve and Karina's package intro package doing here? Someone's getting fired! Did I mention how much I like these two? So. Much. Fun. And Ty is definitely Most Improved - he has a real chance of getting into the finals if he keeps this up.

Steve and Karina: The Woz doing the Argentine tango? Oh my. And ahaha, segways. I'll admit I laughed a lot during this - he just means so well, he's so likeable. The judges are so desperately trying to get rid of him, and I'll be interested to see whether the fans can pull him through again.

Melissa and Tony: Tony must be so excited to have a partner who's actually good. He's been on this show forever; he kind of deserves it. This was a fun number, although some of the lifts were a little clumsy. Not sure it was deserving of two 10s, but it was good. Also, does anyone know what Melissa has on her lower back that gets covered up with sequins every week? Unfortunate tattoo?

Holly and Dmitry: Whiiiiine, Holly pulled a muscle. Wow, she's such a trooper dancing through the pain. This was an improvement over her earlier dances, although she forgot the routine and just stopped completely (awkward) and didn't point her toes once. She is most definitely going home, which is too bad - Dmitry is a great choreographer.

Steve-O and Lacey: Yay, he's back! Sort of. This wasn't the strongest lindy hop, but at least it was injury-free. I think they could be in trouble tomorrow night.

Gilles and Cheryl: Of course they would assign Gilles the Argentine tango. Of course. He was predictably great here - the dance had a very quiet power to it that I really liked. Bruno calls Gilles a Latin lover; Gilles is French. No matter, Gilles is a great dancer. No shock - they get the first perfect score of the season.

Shawn and Mark: Yay, Mark brought his nerd glasses back. And seriously - I cannot handle the cute. I really liked this routine - it was fun, adorable, and youthful. The judges are lame.

So who's going home? I think it's between Holly, The Woz, and Steve-O.
