'Dancing With the Stars': It's 'Story Night,' As a New Couple Takes the Lead (VIDEO)
It's Story Night once again on 'Dancing With the Stars' (Mon., 8PM ET on ABC). The return of this theme meant that each couple's performance had to tell a tale ... in musical form. Last season's Story Night brought us the horrifying spectacle of Kate Gosselin dancing to 'Paparazzi' -- which was a notable train-wreck ... although it did give us this really awesome parody. But that's all in the past now. What would tonight bring for our contestants?[Warning: Spoiler alert.]
Front-runners Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough did well, as always, getting a 24 out of 30. But the real star of the night was Audrina Patridge, who wowed the audience with her rendition of the waltz. Patridge and Tony Dovolani's dance "story" involved a tribute to fallen American soliders and their families. While the "story" section was a little mystifying -- it involved the Smoke Monster from 'Lost,' for some reason -- the dance itself was extremely moving.
Audrina's performance got high marks from the judges, and Len Goodman called it "the most touching dance of the night." Then, she and Tony received the first two "9" scores of the season -- from Len and Bruno Tonioli. This was enough to give the couple a total score of 26, making them the night's winners. It also made them the first pair to defeat Jennifer and Derek this season. Well done!
All told, this Story Night went much better for Tony Dovolani than last season's. He was Gosselin's partner in the infamous 'Paparazzi' disaster. We'll have to keep watching to see if he and Audrina can stay at the top of the rankings.
