latest recap

"[Marissa's] so likable, and she really does do a good job. That being said, it's starting to look like she may have peaked in the competition."

jonathan's blog report

"I felt Mario looked a little unrehearsed. Normally he looks so confident and slick, but I saw him looking down at Karina's feet a lot."

fans say ...

"Did you notice how [Cristian] did that lift? He used his leg as leverage to lift Cheryl. You have to give him a lot of credit for carrying it off." - Blingdee883 "It doesn't matter how many difficult things you try if you fail. [Kristi's] second dance was awkward and dull. There's a performance aspect to 'DWTS.'" - oldunclemark
