RESULTS SHOW-- 100th Episode
Tom, Samantha and judges are so dressed up. Samantha looks beautiful! Lovely dress!
Past & Present Pros Dance: Wonderful dance as always. We see Alec, Ashley, and Maxim of the past performers. If you caught someone else that I didn't, let me know. I am still counting the ones whose celebrity was eliminated this season as present because they still are there for many of the Results shows.
Tom quips, "Don't you just love it when all the kids come home?" All past celebrities are in the audience as the camera pans over them.
No Encore Dance tonight. Too much else to do.
Interviews:--Mario--I love ballroom dance.
Marissa--Really felt like Broadway. Len wanted more raunch.
Kris--Fun dance! Favorite dress ever (Samba costume).
Jason--I enjoyed the heck out of it. I'd do it again.
Cristián--First 10! Latino passion and she is Philipino passion.
Trip down memory lane: Sabrina--Loved when Emmitt Smith came out with the M.C. Hammer dance.
Tom--"We have 100 special fans. They represent two fans from each state in our fine Union."
Rascal Flatts performs "Every Day" while Julianne and Apolo dance. I'm breathless! That was such a beautiful and fantastic dance! When Apolo swung Julianne around clasping only one hand and she arched her back enough that it brought her feet off the floor--Amazing! They've still got it!!
Memory Lane: Lisa Rinna--"The greatest thing about this show is it's Live and anything can happen." Remembered when Kelly Monaco did her dance and she had a wardrobe malfunction but continued on to finish the dance.
Reminisce with past cast members--Tom asks each a question--
Stacey Keibler--Is restraining order against George Hamilton still in effect? She says he was busy tonight & couldn't come as her date. ~~
Lisa Rinna--Doing much dancing? "I never stopped. Louis and I started our own cardio dance class." ~~
Jerry Springer--What's stayed with you since you left the ballroom? "My hips still hurt and I can't sleep through the night." ~~
Vivica A. Fox--Have you been doing more dancing, keeping busy with "Curb Your Enthusiam"? Have retired her stillettos. ~~
Joey Fatone--Still bitter after losing to Apolo? I got a job out of it as well. ~~
Kenny Mayne--Still angry at me for using him as my go-to punchline. Not bitter at Tom. So bad that he could be kicked off of this show. Pushes his book. ~~
Sabrina-- Kenny took all her time so Tom just tells her that "We love you" to which she thanks him.
Standings:
6th place - Marissa/Tony -50
4th place - Jason/Edyta -52
3rd place - Mario/Karina -53
2nd - Kristi/Mark -55
1st - Cristián & Cheryl -57
Memorable moment: Helio--First time he saw Apolo, was doing Paso Doble. He was impressive. Watching that dance with Apolo made him want to do DWTS and he's glad he did.
Broadway stage--John O'Hurley, Joey Lawrence, Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, and Mario Lopez who will perform tonight.
Macy's Stars of Dance: Mario Lopez and the Cast of "A Chorus Line"--"Opening" and "One". It was a pretty good performance.
Rascal Flatts--"Life Is A Highway"--Mel B & Maxim--Great job! Wonderful dance!! Nice to see Max again.
Samantha--talks to Kelly, Apolo & Drew--asks who they think will win. Kelly is for Kristi; Apolo is for Jason or Kristi but biased over the skating; Drew is for Cristián because Drew says that he taught Cheryl all she knows. Kidding aside based on last nights performance and knowing that Cris has the charisma, skill and a great partner, he is going for Cris.
Tom quips, "Good to see Drew hasn't lost those charming delusional parts of his personality."
Melodramatic moments: Drew--"Marie fainting. Nobody expected it. Way out of left field. For her to get up curtsy, walk it off, wave to the crowd was completely in her character. I would have expected nothing less from her."
Looks like we are doing all eliminations at the end because none have been done so far.
What current stars have learned from past performers. Who they relate to--
Kristi/Joey Fatone--Master showman. Flashy personality.
Marissa/MelB--So confident. Capture fierceness.
Mario/Mario Lopez-Personality skills, moves wants to take to next level.
Jason/Emmitt--Made a cool of dance. Had his own style.
Cris/Helio--Have Latin connection. Brought something new to the dance floor. Still have a lot of work to do.
Cris--"...So many great celebrities in past seasons. If we are able to bring what they did to the dance floor, next week will be the best Semi-finals ever!"
11 min. to go to end of show. Finally getting to eliminations.
First Couple Safe--Marissa & Tony (must be her fanbase) This was a surprise going by yesterday's scores. They are ecstatic!!
Next Couple Safe--Kristi & Mark
The looks on the remaining couples faces is of shock because I think everyone figured on Marissa to go because of her low score. They all looked scared now.
Most Shocking Moment: Kelly--When Sabrina was eliminated. Best dance One of the most unpredictable shows on TV.
Next Couple Safe--Cristián & Cheryl
Tom says that one of the next two couples is not necessarily in the Bottom 2.
Next Couple Safe--Jason & Edyta
Going Home--Mario & Karina--Thanks Len for the comments he made and tells Len that he has helped him to become a better ballroom dancer. Mario tells Len that the comment about him being brave and being an inspiration to young people--"I just want to say that the real brave ones are the ones fighting for our country." Mario tells everyone that he has had a ball and he and Karina do their last dance.
IMO--Mario is better than Jason and should have stayed at least one more week. Right now I'm looking at a Kristi and Cristián final two. Maybe it will be like AI. The predictions there are a Battle of the Davids. Maybe we will have here a Battle of the K/Cris's.
I got to see most of the show and recap but missed the favorite dances. Mainly I'm bummed that Mario is gone. Marissa has improved and it's nice to have more than one female competing but I'd still rather watch Mario. He was smoother and has a lot going for him...PLUS he tries so very hard. Glad he left with dignity although SHE ...yep Karina (grrrr). Did you see before they announced it was them, she waved goodbye. Nothing like having confidence. Sure the writing was on the wall after Marissa was safe but she rarely supports her partner...it's all about her.

I've missed the last couple of shows. Is there somewhere online I can watch them? I thought I'd tivoed/taped/whatever it is them but checked and it looks like I didn't.
Is Tom Bergeron adorable or what? LOL

I was very pleased to see all the stars turn up from past seasons. I wondered where Helio was, but my husband told me that it's Indy car racing season so obviously, he's busy.
As far as who went home, I think the bottom two was appropriate. I'm surprised it was Mario and not Jason, but it obviously went by fanbase. I couldn't believe though, through the whole thing, Karina hasn't annoyed me once, then last night the eye rolling started. Good riddance. I'm glad to see her go, but thought Mario was very good and extremely gracious at the end.
I'm happy Marisa is still there because she truly has improved every week. I think Mario peaked early and didn't improve, but Marisa is still going strong.
Observances:
I know this is catty, but I'm astounded at how much older Tony Dovolani looks compared to when he danced with Stacy Keebler. He's lost a lot of hair.
Cheryl Burke: When they tell you you're safe, can you not leap on the guy with one working arm. It's nervewracking.
I loved watching Mel and Maks (yummo) and Julianne and Apolo. They were so fantastic.

The biggest highlight of the night for me was seeing Maks! 
I sure hope he comes back next season!!
Loved seeing Julianne and Apollo dance again and all of the others too. I should have told Kelly that MY biggest shock was her season -that she kept staying and ended up winning. :-P That was a total fanbase thing. No way! She would be history very early now imo.
I was disappointed Mario went home before Marissa, but will live. Ha!

I loved seeing former dancers...stars and pros. It was just an overall fun night.
I was surprised that Marissa was saved. I will say she has improved, but I was still surprised.
Could Karin roll her eye more???? She was especially irritating while awaiting their fate. I had hoped Mario would be around for one more week. Oh, well.
So glad Cristian will be dancing next week.
It's coming down to the line and I'd like a woman (Kristi) to win...it's been a long time, but I wouldn't be disappointed if Cristian took home the ugly disco ball.
thanks for the recap
