It's the Semi Finals already! And look who's back in the ballroom...it's Maks! He's a guest judge tonight. Because there are 4 judges this week, there will be 40 judges points possible on each dance.
Tonight the couples dance twice. Their second dance will be to a stripped down, acoustical version of the song they danced in the first dance. Very interesting challenge.
Leah & Tony - 65
Paso Doble
This Lady Gaga song suits the Paso very well. I am really impressed with Leah. She has come such a long way since the beginning and she is definitely a contender! I would never have thought that at the beginning. She is nailing the feel of the dance and technically, she's nailing it as well.
Score: 32
Argentine Tango
This is starting out pretty slowly, it better pick up the pace a little. Not much choreography going on in this dance. She's doing a lot of standing around and long pauses. She is capable of doing a lot more, I'm not sure why Tony didn't give her more to do in this dance. It was really boring. This was a completely opposite performance than her first dance.
Score: 33
Corbin & Karina - 75
Tango
Love this song! This is starting out really hot, and I got goosebumps! The lights on the floor are insane, I don't know how they do that. I just don't think Corbin can go wrong. The judges haven't always loved him or agreed with Karina's choreography choices, but like the floor and the stage, he was on fire on this dance! That was intense and awesome.
Score: 35
Rumba
Wow, what a different version of this song! Corbin's lines are so amazing. He looks good doing every single style. This was romantic and sexy...he did an incredible job!
Score: 40
Jack & Cheryl - 71
Jazz
Jack is really turning into quite the performer, isn't he? That lift was incredible! Great job, Jack! That one had his mom in tears.
Score: 33
Argentine Tango
That fall backwards that Cheryl did and Jack catching her by her neck was insane! I love the choreography, and the lifts were really cool! He nailed it again! He was sharp and precise and he performed it so well!
Score: 38
Bill & Emma - 60
ChaCha
They definitely know how to play to his comedic strengths. At some point, he shouldn't have to rely on that. Again, his timing was off so many times. He tries so hard, and is fun to watch, but he is just not up to snuff technically with anyone else in the competition.
Score: 28
Argentine Tango
Seeing his video package, you just can't help but root for the guy. It's obvious why he's still around. This was another extremely slow Argentine Tango. It definitely suited him well. He actually got the leg flicks and he showed a more serious side that we don't get to see very often, so that was refreshing. He is also improving on his lifts. They don't look so labored any more, they flowed very effortlessly.
Score: 32
Amber & Derek - 79
Jazz
I cannot wait to see this routine, it looks like it's going to be amazing! Derek's choreography is always so sick! Not much to say other than it was completely awesome! It was so intricate and they were so in sync.
Score: 39
Viennese Waltz
I do not care for this version of the song...at all. As Waltzes go, they are generally just boring to me. It was danced well, but even for a Derek routine, it wasn't phenomenal, it was just OK. Beautiful, but just OK.
Score: 40
Elimination Results
In Jeopardy: Leah & Tony and Bill & Emma
Going Home: Leah & Tony
Bill should be really proud of himself. I don't think anyone like him has ever made it to the final based almost solely on comedy/performance and fan votes. He's been consistently on the bottom every single week. His low scores have been a lot to overcome, but somehow he's done it. While I think Christina, Nicole and Brant who have all gone before him, should still be there, I am looking forward to see what kinds of crazy performances that Emma will put together for him. They will no doubt be entertaining, and as we all know, the finale freestyle dances pretty much determine the winner of the season. And those who do crazy, fun routines generally win the fan vote. That said, Bill Engvall could very well win this whole thing. Wow.
