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.

  • W.E.--Go down to bink's post. She missed the special, too, and I have a direct link inside my response to her. Just follow what I wrote, click on the link and you can see all the favorite dances. I was also disappointed that Mario is gone. I like that Marissa is improving but would rather have Mario for the same reason. Mario sure left with dignity maybe to make up for Karina. Yeah, she looked like she was ready to throw it in before even hearing the announcement. That could be one reason that her partners don't get very far except for Mario Lopez but he lost, IMO, because of her too. Emmitt and Cheryl just had more personality between them. This Mario is such a nice guy and I hope he continues this way to be a good role model for the kids. If you watch those favorite dances, don't hesitate to leave another post. Aren't you glad you were gone? It gave you a good rest for next week, LOL! ~ eom. Linda

  • bink--I hope you see this yet. I'm sorry I didn't answer faster. With so many different topics, I thought I had responded here already. In case you are still looking to find where to watch the shows, go to www.abc.go.com, click on Full Episodes, click into DWTS and pick Week 8- Results or the show you need to see. They are in order of newest on top. I put on a link inside. I could only find the 100th episode and not the Judge's Special. I checked out YouTube and all ten dances are there. I have the link inside to #10. They counted down from 10 to 1. You can see that dance and then go to the video list on the right and see the rest of them from #9 up to #1. The poster is phillymac2563. Enjoy! ~~ Tom is the best host ever! Leave another post after you've seen it! ~ eom. Linda
  • Thank you Linda! You're the best. bink
  • Aww, shucks, bink. Glad you enjoyed it! ~ eom. Linda

    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.

  • I loved seeing them all too. There isn't a race until the Indy 500 but I suppose they are practicing. ~~ I'm thinking fanbase, too, because Mario was much better than Jason. Karina just doesn't know how to accept defeat graciously. She should have picked something up from Mario. He was very gracious. I think she is the reason why her partners don't get the fanbase. Marissa has been a surprise and has definitely improved. ~~ Tony--Yes, he didn't have as much hair as with Stacey, but he still can dance well. Another observance I had with Tony was that he had danced with the tallest partner and now he is dancing with the smallest. Cheryl isn't the only one whose had a challenge. LOL, with Cheryl, but you're right! I did wonder if she was going to hit Cris's arm when she did that. M&M and J&A were just the greatest. It was so wonderful to see them dance again! ~ eom. Linda

    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!

  • It was nice to see Maks again. It would be nice to see him again but it depends on what he is doing in LV and if he likes that better. I'm sure he would still come back for a pro dance if he didn't come back to be a partner. Julianne & Apolo's dance was just awesome! So beautiful! I should try to see the first season online. I had missed most of that season only seeing a little bit here and there and then finally seeing the finale. I have read so much how Kelly's win was all fanbase but I can't comment myself. One of these days, I'll have to watch it. I also was disappointed that Mario went home already. I thought sure he would stay at least another week. I will live too, though. ~ eom. Linda

    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

  • Hi Tori! I hope you see this yet. I thought I responded to everything and I came on here and saw that I forgot all of these. I hope everyone looks back here again. ~~ Yes, it was a lot of fun! It was really great seeing all of those dancers again. Marissa has improved but with the scores the judges gave her, I was surprised too. She must have a really good fanbase. Karina always rolls her eyes. She can't just stand there and take it like a good sport. Marlee could teach her a few things. I was sure that Mario would have stayed another week myself. It will be nice to see Cristián again. I just hope he isn't pushing it too hard with his injury. I'd like to see Kristi take it too but wouldn't mine Cris either. You're welcome! ~ eom. Linda
