Dancing with the Stars showed off the skills of a few and lack of skills by most. Shawn Johnson came out ahead in my opinion but the judges gave top numbers to Lil’ Kim. The judges praised the rappers jive, but I thought it was a mess. She got messed up two different times as her partner kept on beat, but surprisingly Lil Kim was unable to stay on beat. Len, the head judge felt the performance was too theatrical and didn’t have enough jive steps in it the dance. He was right but nobody mentioned how many steps the rapper missed.

My favorite dancer Gilles Marini didn’t do as well tonight since he kept looking for a role to play rather than just dancing. He was nervous and really tried to keep going fast like the dance requires but at times he went too fast. Gilles is amazing to watch and no doubt deserves high praise since no other dancer that danced the jive was able to keep the fast pace that Gilles kept. He actually reminded me a lot Hugh Jackman performing on the Oscars.

Julianne and her boyfriend Chuck danced slow and sleezy. Two of the judges said they were great while the one judge said it had too much raunchiness in it. I agree. I don’t know what the hell Julianne was wearing but it didn’t work in her favor. She looked like a cheap hooker with the laced thigh high stockings. She could have done better than this. One of the judges comments were that some of the moves could have been saved for the bedroom. It wasn’t the moves so much as it was Juliannes attire that led to that comment.

Lawrence Taylor came back to his usual upbeat self. A visit from last season’s competitor Warren Sapp generated his good humor once again and was funny to watch the two of them clown around together. Ty and Steve-O should be in the bottom two this week. Either one could go home due to lack of skill. Melissa did alright, but the judges praised her a little too much I felt. She wasn’t as great as they claimed and it wasn’t her best dance.
