Last night, in case you missed it, the contestants had to learn two dances in one week. Joey and Laila both managed to get perfect scores for one of their dances! But tonight, someone is going home. LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! (I seriously love how Tom yells that. Just listen to it sometime.)
Samantha looks pregnant for the first time tonight. I don't know why I'm kind of obsessed with that, except that there's so much filler in these results episodes that I have to have something to keep myself amused. Tom recaps the events from last night. Ian released his lighter side and enjoyed himself, and afterwards, he seemed elated. People doubted whether John could pull off two dances, but he impressed the judges. Billy Ray "exceeded all entertainment expectation," which means that he didn't exceed anyone's dance expectations. Which is pretty difficult, since expectations are quite low. Billy Ray makes his "heelbilly" joke again, which I'm pretty tired of by now. Apolo took a hit with the judges, and Julianne's dress almost fell off. During their interview, Julianne tells Len, "You're going to get it and you're going to get it hard." Dirty! Laila got a perfect score for her samba, and Len made a weird reference to her dad after telling her how sexy she was. Joey managed to eke out a perfect score for his jive, with all the judges agreeing that he did a great job. In his interview, Joey seems a little cocky, boasting about his perfect score, but he reels it back to admit that they have a lot of work ahead of them. People like humility, Joey, as long as it's not forced. We get one last reminder of the standings at the end of last night, with Laila and Joey tied for first, Apolo and Ian tied for third, John fifth and Billy Ray sixth. I realize they don't dance alone, but it gets tiresome to type out the partners' names each time, so I hope you'll forgive the shorthand.
Tom throws it to Len to ask who he would like to see do an encore. Len reminds him that they had two couples with perfect scores and couldn't decide between them, so they tossed a coin. The encore goes to Laila and Maksim, doing the samba. Oh, great. More Maksim hip action. I just find that so gross. He's a good-looking guy, but not my type. Too cheesy and soap opera-ish. My husband just accidentally called Laila "Lolly Ali," which made me laugh harder than it should have.
