Tonight, the celebrities take on the Argentine Tango or the Samba AND a Swing Dance marathon. Since the last Mambo marathon was so successful, I cannot wait for the Swing one! All of the dancers in the competition now are truly talented, and could win, so this season of Dancing with the Stars just. got. interesting! And Pam Anderson is loving her new brown ‘do. Let’s get this going!

Go Evan, go Evan!

Jake Pavelka, Samba: I think the thing I find most endearing about Jake is that he refuses to wear his shirt. Looking for the ladies’ vote there Jake? But, he’s truly adorable, and putting a lot of personality in his dances. The Samba always confuses me, and I’ve never seen anyone, save Melissa Rycroft, do a good one. So Jake’s was a little underwhelming. After a little trip-up, which he controlled, Bruno said he “didn’t wiggle correctly.”
Score: 7, 7, 7

Evan Lysacek, Samba: I love Evan. And I love Evan and Anna. I really think he’s a frontrunner, and I’m gonna call it now that he wins. Hmmm, Anna tried to kill him by flipping his massive body over her tiny, little itty-bitty back, no big deal. He’s alright. Shake those hips Evan! He’s another one that doesn’t like to wear a shirt. I think Bruno is going to love this. Oh man, was I wrong. I’m just blinded by my favorite. Carrie Ann said he “lost the battle with the Samba.” Booo Carrie Ann! The Samba’s just too hard!
Score: 7, 7, 7

I know, I know. I missed Monday’s Dancing with the Stars…AGAIN! But who are we kidding? I bet none of you watched it in anticipation of me missing it. Am I right?

This week’s theme is movie songs, which I think is AWESOME. My favorite song from a movie? “If You Leave,” from Pretty in Pink. Man, I get goosebumps just thinking about it. So I hear Pamela Anderson is the spitting image of Dolly Parton. Let’s get going!

Niecy Nash, Jive: La Bamba! That movie made me cry so hard. I think I was about three when I first saw it, so I really had no idea what was going on, but I knew that a plane crashed and Lou Diamond Phillips was no more. I should probably watch that again sometime. This is a fast song, and a fast dance. They’re gonna have to really move! Hmmm, it’s a Jive with a little Latin flavor! It looks more like a Cha-cha to me. With kicks. Was it just me, or was that dance really long?
