Dancing with the Stars: Week 2 Results
(S08E03) With the results of week one, it could go either way. Either a non-contender bites the dust, or someone just doesn't have the fanbase. You can't say that Gilles has no fanbase after two really strong performances. The recap show somehow managed to squeeze 26 performances in an hour. I now realize how much time I've wasted having to sit through Samantha Harris. Along with the results, and 30 minutes of other filler, Jewel performed. I'm sure someone out there was giving her the evil glare. The results after the jump.

The show basically had a lot of fluffer until the dance-off. The first professional dance was with the help of the Big Bad Voodoo Daddies, which helped show Lacey in her West Coast Swing style. I wonder if Benji will return later this season. The second professional dance had Chelsie & Dmitry dancing to Jewel singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." It was like So You Think You Can Dance? all over again. Dmitry had his trademark unbuttoned shirt and that same hip movement/smile-to-audience technique. Chelsie was all legs and managed to keep her feet pointed while barefoot the whole time. She also was lifted and flipped with ease. It was beautiful and moving.
The Macy's Stars of Dance performance was apparently dedicated to musicals of the golden age, but I couldn't stop gawking at the fact that Michael Rooney looked just like Mickey Rooney, except a normal height version. Actually, even taller than average. The dance seemed like a fun time and an interesting use of the stairs and widescreen high definition.
For the weird fluffer, Cameron Matheson gave us tips on how to survive the show. He suggested things like not tripping, crying, kissing up to judges, and making friends with the spray tan girl. How about this: stop using the spray tan girl. Especially Tony & Melissa; the two of them must radiate orange when the lights turn off. There's a Bruno/Thong joke during the piece, but I won't touch that one.
The stars then analyze each other. I'm almost floored that the contestants fall under four categories: Actors (Denise, Gilles, David), Athletes (Shawn, Lawrence, Ty), Musicians (Lil Kim, Belinda, Chuck), and Reality Stars (Melissa, Holly, Steve-O). That leaves the Woz, but he was on My Life on the D-List for a short while, so I guess you could put him under Reality Stars.
Our bottom two turned out to be Belinda and Steve. I guess either Steve-O or Lacey got some sympathy votes. Tom and Samantha explained that the contestants have the chance to redo one dance and the judges will re-score the performance. The score overrides the previous score.
Belinda & Jonathan (Salsa) – Belinda's salsa lacked in a lot of places, but the biggest flaw was the fact that she didn't have much hip in a Latin dance. The two decide to focus on the hips during practice. I don't understand why she didn't improve on the fact that her legs were spread wide. When they dance, I realize she not only doesn't have hip action, she lacks in the breast wiggling department, as well. Her feet didn't improve.
Len thought there were a little more hip, but not by much. Bruno felt the nervousness and pointed out that she lost her foot work. Carrie Ann pointed out that she messed up the underarm pass, and it wasn't an improvement from last night. Score: 17 (5, 6, 6) Previously: 18
Steve & Karina (Quickstep) – Steve didn't lose his steam, he lost his step. They practiced both endurance and sharp leg work. When they started their dance, the opening flip was messy. He continued to look like he was being dragged around, but a little better this time. The audience gave him a standing ovation.
Bruno admired his spirit and determination. He loved watching him. Carrie Ann thought he was smoother and in sync, but he still messed up in the middle. Len thought that he worked hard overcoming the bad foot. Score: 17 (6, 5, 6) Previously: 17
After totaling the scores, the couple that went home was Belinda & Jonathan. Jonathan hopes that she uses hip-action during her Go-Go performances. She had a great time. Next week is the Samba and the Foxtrot. Hopefully, Steve-O won't try something stupid and injure his back even more.
