Oooooh. It's KISS. And it's classic rock night on Dancing with the Stars!!!! Let's get this party started!!!!
Welcome back dance fans. Who will “rock” the floor tonight and who will just “roll” away? See what I did there? Ha!!
Sherri and Val – TANGO (21)Ugh. I disliked Sherri at the start of the season (that hasn't changed) but now I hate Val too. Talk about a pompous ass!! As MrsM tweeted last night, he seriously wouldn't be there if it weren't for his much hotter older brother, so Val needs to remember that and at least try to act humble. I don't know why he just comes across as a jerk, but he does. Maybe it's because he isn't even a QUARTER as hot as Maks. Whatever.
A tango to a rock song can be really good. But gyrating in front of Len is never a good way to start. Sadly, it went downhill from there. It seemed to have ZERO energy and was quite boring. It should have looked powerful, but they were both just walking around the stage. YAWN. Boring.
My Score: 6Katherine and Mark – PASO DOBLE (24)Another good dance for rock music. It's full of aggression and power. To tap into Katherine's aggression, Mark took her to an MMA gym. Oy. I didn't think he could be any doucheyer (it's a word), but he surprised me. Sorry to any MMA fans, but I HATE that garbage. H-A-T-E.
Oooh. I hate to say it, but she looks good. Really good. That's what power and aggression should look like. She moved really well and looked the part. Her technique was even really good. Kudos to her. But I still dislike Mark.
My Score: 9Jaleel and Kym – TANGO (22)Hmmm. Strange song choice. It seems to have more of a bouncy beat to me. If this came on and I was out dancing, I'd do a Swing or a Cha Cha. Something with some booty shaking. Tango? Not so much. Because of that, something was a little off and I didn't really connect with this routine. It wasn't awful, but it really wasn't great.
My Score: 7Melissa and the REAL Chmerkovskiy – PASO DOBLE (22)Maks usually rocks out the Paso, so I'm looking forward to seeing this routine. It's funny though. During the rehearsal footage, Maks yells at Melissa to get her mad (to tap into that emotion for the dance) and he just comes across as adorable. Not douchey at all. Huh.
GREAT song!!! Perfect for Paso. Poor Melissa though, seemed like she was just hanging on for dear life. She seemed a little scared and a little tentative. Overall, it was good though. Too bad about Maks falling at the end. Ooops.
My Score: 8 Donald and Peta – PASO DOBLE (27)He definitely had the right aggressive attitude and he moved pretty well. I gotta give him credit. It was a good routine. Thankfully, for him, Paso is pretty easy to fake. You can hide a lot of flaws with the right attitude. I wouldn't say it was perfect, but I liked it.
My Score: 9Gladys and Tristan – TANGO (20)I love that sexy leprechaun. *Sigh*
Ok. I didn't think Tristan could get any sexier and then they put some eyeliner on him. Oh my!! Holy hotness Batman!!! DAY-UM!!!!! Oh, I'm supposed to be talking about Gladys. Oops. This was a really hard song to dance to, so I'm cutting her a little slack. But even with that, she just wasn't strong enough for the routine. Plus, I think she lost her place towards the end. I hate to mark her low, but it was not her best. Better luck next week, my dear.
My Score: 7William and Cheryl – JIVE (22)Yummy. Mmmmm. Just yummy.
First complaint about this routine (I'm sure you can guess): TOO MUCH CLOTHES!!!!! Seriously! A jacket?? WTH Cheryl? Also, sadly, I'm afraid it wasn't a very good routine. It seriously pains me to say it, but this was not a good performance. They screwed up a trick and he just seemed lost from then on. I'm sooooo sorry William.
You have no idea.
My Score: 7Roshon and Chelsie – VIENNESE WALTZ (26)Hmmm. Strange song choice. I know David Cook is supposed to be the Rock American Idol, but this song felt so out of place within the context of the other songs being danced to. David Cook is great and all, but he's no Queen, or KISS, or any of those other really ROCK groups/artists. Still (and, again, I'm in pain saying this) Roshon's routine wasn't terrible. Actually it was pretty decent. I wouldn't say it was wonderful, but it was pretty good. Well done young man.
My Score: 9Maria and Derek – TANGO (26)So Maria's injured. Again. This time it's a stress fracture on her foot. But she will carry on! She's so brave!
I don't know if Maria is going for sexy or what. But you aren't supposed to smile during the Tango. Maybe she just can't help it. But, still, I think it was pretty good. She let Derek lead (obviously) and she held on for dear life. Some of it was out of control, but I didn't hate it.
My Score: 8Gavin and Karina – TANGO (23)Still with the hat? Oy.
Ok, is it just me or does Gavin look like the Mad Hater from Once Upon a Time? Btw, if you aren't watching OUaT, you totally should be!! Ok, back to the dancing. His shoulders were all up near his ears and, for a rock star, he surprisingly didn't have much of a rock attitude.
Huh. It was a little strange, but I didn't hate it. The biggest problem I had with it is his posture. That was just awful. Poor guy. It wasn't so bad that I want him to leave, but he needs to step it up if he's going to stay.

Bottom two/three: I’ve given up predicting who will be in the bottom. I have never believed that the ones in the bottom were actually the ones in the bottom. I’ve always thought that they might put someone in the “bottom” so it would raise interest.
Going home: I will, however, take a stab at this one. I certainly hope it’s Sherri going home. Neither she, nor her pro, are likeable. BUT, I’m afraid it’s going to be Gavin. He’s been in the bottom every week, so I fear his time is done.
PS. It was announced at the very end of the show that Melissa had injured herself and was taken to the hospital. I haven’t seen yet what her injury was/is or her status. If I find it, I’ll post it.
You have no idea. My Score: 7

I just can't stand the way he dances. He just looks so pompous when he dances. 
That hotness better be ok. If he's hurt, they should at least parade him out on stage without a shirt on. That's only fair, right?
