For the results, the contestants are split into 3 groups of 4 and first they showed us two safe couples from the 4 at the bottom of the leader board: Michael, The Hoff, The Situation and Margaret.
Michael & Chelsie are safe.
Margaret & Louis are safe.
Next there was a little bit with Adam Carolla (a season 6 contestant), Adam Carolla's Tour de Dance, where he took us on a world tour of dance styles... on a unicycle.
We start in NYC w/the Jive and a very unconvincing ride on a unicycle. Next stop, Cuba for The Rumba which has been described as making love on the dance floor. On to Brazil where they dance the Samba. Crossing the Atlantic on his unicycle, Carolla lands next in Vienna where we find the Waltz dating back to the 16th century, and over to England which gave us the Quickstep - a combination of The Charleston & The Foxtrot. Finally we finish the Tour de Dance in Southern France from whence came the Paso Doble, a dance heavily influenced by Flamenco. Intersting... I assumed the Paso was Spanish or Italian. Not that I know anything more than what I've heard the judges say for the last several seasons.
Next, Daughtry performed September while 2 couples danced a little number. At this point I decided I'd keep track of how many dances the various Pro's have to learn while still in competition. It's got to be hard to be dancing, choreographing, teaching, learning new numbers... what an intense job!
After the Daughtry number, Brook went backstage to chat with the 4 contestants who will next learn their fate - the 4 at the top of the leader board. She morbidly points out to Brandy that two contestants at the bottom are both safe, which means anything can happen! So next up, Brandy, Kyle, Rick & Jennifer are sent to find out who are safe and who are sill in jeopardy.
Jeniffer & Derek are safe.
Rick & Cheryl are safe.
Next, India Arie sang While My Guitar Gently Weeps, accompanied by Carlos Santana. It was truly beautiful. Louis & Karina did a Rumba maybe? I really enjoy the growth, change, risk and suspense, when watching the contestants. But there's also something so captivating about watching the perfection of the pros.
The last group of 4 was the middle of the pack: Audrina, Kurt, Bristol and Florence.
Audrina & Tony are safe.
Florence & Corky are safe.
At this point in the show we knew of six safe couples and were still waiting to hear the fate of the other six. Brandy, Kyle, Kurt, Bristol, The Hoff & The Situation were still waiting to hear.
Daughtry sang Photograph (yes, a cover of the Def Leppard song), accompanied by Santana while Derek & Lacey and Marc & Chelsie danced a rocking Cha-cha-cha (I think).
Tom Bergeron spoke with Daughtry & Santana for a minute after their song and asked who they're rooting for. Daughtry is a Michael Bolton fan because last night he danced to a Daughtry song "I never saw that in my future." Daughtry said. LOL And Santana told us he's rooting for Kurt Warner.
For another time-filler, they played a little video montage of the Pros talking about how it feels to be the first couple eliminated. I'm sure that's got to be hard getting sent home right away.
Brook had The Hoff, Brandy & Bristol, on one side and The Situation, Kurt and Kyle on the other side of her, in the celebraquarium, talking about how they felt going into the final minutes of the first results show. Everyone has enjoyed themselves & hopes to stay. And so off they go to hear who is safe and who is going home.
Brandy & Maks are safe.
Bristol & Mark are safe.
And of course Tom had to go to commercial before telling us any more.
Kurt & Anne are safe.
The Situation & Karina are safe.
Wow - I'm kind of surprised that they still have Kyle up there on the chopping block! Either way, I'm surprised at who will go home. Kyle danced a great dance and The Hoff I thought would have a better voting fan base.
So who's going home? The Hoff!
I think that's the right choice. While The situation & Margaret Cho were pretty bad, this gives them a little time to show us if they can do better. The Hoff was eliminated and his daughter said she was so proud of him for dancing with his bad knees. He wouldn't have made it much longer anyway. It was a good elimination.
See you next week!
