Semi Finals Results Show Live Blog

 It's the 300th show!  I'd forgotten that!  Eight years of sparkly stuff.  Wow.

So we have five couples left and one, probably Ingo and Kym, will be eliminated!

Starting off with a pro dance of course!  Some old favorites there - hi Louis!

The first couple in the finals is....Jacoby and Karina.  Hey they just bleeped him!

The encore dance is Kellie and Derek's Argentine Tango.  Here's one I prepared earlier:

Here is a young girl who just beat the World record for pirouettes.  She is dancing with four pros, including her favorite Chelsie Hightower.  Lots of spins going on here.

The Wanted sang a tune that is to highlight www.childhungerendshere.com - highlighting child hunger in America.

Now it's Avril Lavigne.  she hasn't aged much but she seems to be leaning towards country.

This show is why they should go to one night.  The entertainment is top notch but I want to know results!

Zendaya and Kellie are up!

Kellie and Derek are in the finals!

Zendaya is in jeopardy! She joins Aly and Ingo in the final three.

Gleb and Sharna are doing a dance now.

Ingo and Aly are up.

Ingo in jeopardy, Aly safe.

Zendaya/Val and Ingo/Kym are onstage.  These are not necessarily the bottom two couples says Brooke.

Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson have been eliminated.

Ingo seems like a great guy, lasted longer than perhaps he should have.  Peanut is great!

Final next week.  See you then!

DWTS Live Blog from the Semi Finals

I'm off to a slow start this week - the dog wanted to do her business!  Came in through Kellie and Derek's tango - and the bit I saw looked great!

Each of the couples dances twice tonight - the second time it's the dance the Twitterers chose last week.

First Round

Kellie and Derek - Tango - the judges loved it - 10/10/10=30

Ingo and Kym - Samba - Bruno could tell they worked hard, Carrie Ann thought it was sloppy in parts, Len thought they did a good job with a difficult dance - 8/8/8=24

Aly and Mark - Rumba - a lovely dance, loved by the judges, Carrie Ann in particular - 10/10/10=30

Jacoby and Karina - Tango - Bruno thought it was his best performance ever, Carrie Ann got all het up and shook her hair a lot - 10/10/10=30

Zendaya and Val - Quickstep - Bruno loved it but pointed out a couple of problems, Carrie Ann thought it was a mess, Len thought it was a bit too fast - 8/8/9=25

Second round

This round features the dances chosen by Twitter.

Kellie and Derek - Flamenco - Len said her talent was huge, Bruno said she tightened up at times, 9/10/9=28+30=60

Ingo and Kym - Charleston -  Bruno thought it was fun, Carrie Ann said it was fun, Len said his was his best dance of the season - 9/9/9=27+24=51

Aly and Mark - Afrojazz - Carrie Ann said it was fantastic, Len loved it, Bruno said Aly was Queen of the Jungle - 10/9/10=29+30=59

Jacoby and Karina - Lindy Hop - High energy, full on, fabulous said Len; Bruno said he nailed it; Carrie Ann said he was the #1 entertainer of the season - 10/9/10=29+30=59

Zendaya and Val - Hip Hop - Bruno said it gave him chills, Carrie Ann thought Val did well, Len thought it was fantastic - 10/10/10=30+25=55

Ingo is at the bottom but he's not too far behind Zendaya, his problem is that he'd never maych her viewer votes!

Its the 300th episode tomorrow night - join us!

DWTS Live Blog - Week 8 Results Show

USix couples are left, four will be in the final so the stars who leave this week and next lose out big time!

Zendaya's Salsa with Val and Gleb has been chosen as the encore dance.  Well deserved but so was Kellie's Paso - the one where Len had his melt down.  The worst one yet!

Sean Lowe finished with 42 points, Ingo 48 and Jacoby rounded out the bottom 3 with 52.  So Sean needs a lot of votes!

All the couples are on stage.

Ingo and Kym are through!

Kellie and Derek are in jeopardy.  Huh? I know they got lots of votes! I think the producers are trying to milk Lens little tantrum.

Zendaya and Jacoby are on stage.

Zendaya and Val are in the semis.

Jacoby and Karina are in jeopardy.

Ooh, some hidden mike of the judges discussing Kellie and Derek's Paso.  Len actually said it was as good as Sean's dance!

Jason Derullo is now pretending to sing a song.

Here are the results of the Twitter exercise on choosing who dances what next week:

Zendaya/ Val - Hip Hop (duh)

Jacoby/Karina - Lindy Hop

Aly/Mark - Afro Jazz

Kellie/Derek - Flamenco

Sean/Peta - Disco

Ingo/Kym -Charleston 

Nothing surprising there, Zendaya owns Twitter.

Now a segment on Peanut, Ingo's son. Sweet.

So here's Derek Hough and Jaime Goodwin dancing in a little room!  The room is rotating but the camera is still and it looks like they are dancing on the ceiling, walls etc. Very clever of course. Really quite amazing!

So Aly and Sean are up.  I suspect Aly will go through and Sean will be in jeopardy.

And I was right.

So the final three are Sean/Peta, Jacoby/Karina and Kellie/Derek.

Kellie and Derek are (of course) through to the semis.

Those left are not the bottom 2 - interesting!

Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd have been eliminated.  Although a little stiff, Sean does seem to have a great sense of humor.  He didn't warm me to The Bachelor though.

Semis next week!

DWTS Live Blog Week 8 - Trio Night

We're without Andy Dick this week (note I didn't do a dick joke) so were down to the "good" dancers.

This week the dancers perform twice - once on their own, and once with a pro (the third wheel/stool) to enhance the dance and highlight the celebrities strengths. Anyway, it was fun last season.

The first round:

Zendaya and Val - Foxtrot - Len loved it, Bruno loved it, Carrie Ann thought it was the most beautiful hold she'd ever seen - 9/10/9=28

Sean and Peta - Tango - Bruno said he started well but..., Carrie Ann thought it was OK, Len said it was powerful but ended saying it was ugly - 7/7/7=21

Jacoby and Karina - Viennese Waltz - Carrie Ann loved the posture and grace, Len and Jacoby's Mom thought it was a fantastic, Bruno conservatively agreed - 9/9/9=27

Ingo and Kym - Foxtrot - Len liked the musicality and smoothness, Bruno that it was a little Fred Flinstone occasionally, Carrie Ann felt it was his best posture of the season - 8/8/8=24

Kellie and Derek - Viennese Waltz - Bruno thought Kellie was a Queen tonight (hehe), Carrie Ann liked it, Len thought it was technically great - 9/9/10=28

Aly and Mark - Argentine Tango - Carrie Ann didn't like the lifts, Len thought it was terrific, Bruno thought she was good at being bad - 9/10/10=29

The second round is the Trio Round:

Zendaya and Val with Gleb - Salsa - Len said the boys made Zendaya a star, Bruno thought it was sizzling, dazzling, amazing, Carrie Ann thought she was the queen of the salsa - 10/10/10=30

Sean and Peta with Sharna - Jazz - Bruno wished he hadn't looked at his feet, Carrie Ann thought he got out of routine a little too much, Len thought he attacked it too hard - 7/7/7=21

Jacoby and Karina with Cheryl - Paso Doble - Carrie Ann thought it needed more finesse, Len thought it was a bull ring and he was a contender, Bruno thrust his hips around - 8/9/8=25

Ingo and Kym with Lindsay - Jive - Len thought it was Full On, Bruno thought his energy was great, Carrie Ann said it was heart and fun - 8/8/8=24

Kellie and Derek with Tristan - Paso Doble - Masterpiece Theater said Bruno, Carrie Ann hugged Keelie, Bruno hugged Derek, Len thought it was a sham - too many flashing lights - 10/7/10=27

Aly and Mark with Henry - Jive - Carrie Ann though it was fantastic apart from being a little flat footed sometimes, Len thought they were great, Bruno liked the way she played a character - 9/9/9=27

To summarize the total scores:

Zendaya 58
Ally 56
Kellie 55
Jacoby 52
Ingo 48
Sean 42

Sean has the biggest hill to climb!

Live Blog of the DWTS Latin Results Show

So, here we are. After last night's immune challenge and a dance off challenge we are left with six couples.

Kellie and Derek have immunity as they had the highest score (tied with Aly/Mark but they had the best record over the whole season).

The other six are spread out because of the dance offs (Zendaya, Aly and Ingo got three extra points) which all means Andy Dick is MILES behind.

There has been a lot of online sentiment to keep him but will it be enough? We shall see!

Starting off with a lovely little number from the Troupe.

After the highlights we have Michael Bublé singing Dance With Me.

The Encore Dance is Aly and Mark with their Salsa. Very good.

First results. Zendaya and Jacoby are up.

Zendaya and Val are safe.

Jacoby and Karina are in jeopardy! (Tom says they are in jeopardy from his Mom).

Next results - Aly and Ingo.

Aly and Mark are safe.

Ingo and Kym are in jeopardy.

Andy and Sean left!

The Camden Sophisticated Sisters - a lovely drill team that use dance to make a difference in their lives.

A segment on Adrienne Haslett (sp?) , a professional dancer who lost her foot in the Boston Marathon explosion. A terrible thing to happen. She seems very brave and very nice. DWTS plans to follow her over time until she dances on the show.

Alison and Twitch dance to Lindsey Stirling on violin. This is really most excellent. Lots of swirling, hard drumming and a fire on stage!

Pro dance. All the women seem to have a copy of Peta's wig...

Sean and Andy now up.

Sean and Peta are safe.

Andy and Sharna are in jeopardy. They join Jacoby/Karina and Ingo/Kym.

Jacoby and Karina are safe.

Andy Dick and Sharna Burgess have been eliminated. It seemed that the producers wanted to get rid of Andy. Despite crying too much he's been the perfect competitor - not very good, getting better every week, entertaining and enjoying himself.

Next week the couples dance twice - the second being a Trio Dance where they are joined by a Pro.

Live Blog of Latin Night - Week 7

Welcome to Latin night!

In order to keep the DWTS fans on their toes the producers have added a rather strange scoring system this week.

After all the couples first dance, the couple with the highest score will get immunity.

No, not diplomatic immunity.

That means they are automatically through to next week.

The other couples then have a dance-off to score more judges points.

Then we can vote for our favorite of the six couples.

I'm sure it makes sense.

To add to the Latin-ness Juanez will be performing live.

The couples..

Jacoby and Karina - Salsa - Len thought it was fabulous (after being heckled by Jacoby's mom), Bruno talked about a kitchen mixer and Carrie Ann said he farts salsa (sic) - 9/9/9=27

Ingo and Kym - Rumba - Bruno didn't like the hip action, Carrie Ann didn't they think they were connected, Len felt they had good lines - 7/8/7=22

Kellie and Derek - Samba - Carrie Ann thought they were too good (still not sure about that), Len and Bruno loved it - 9/10/10=29

Andy and Sharna - Rumba - Len said he was enthusiastic, Bruno wanted to forget it, Carrie Ann said he touched her - 5/6/6=17

Aly and Mark (NOT Henry) - Salsa - Bruno said lots of things and I think he loved it, Carrie Ann said she loved it, Len said fantastict - 10/9/10=29

Sean and Peta - Rumba - Carrie Ann was impressed, Len said it was like a match: Peta was hot, Sean was wooden, Bruno said it was much better - 8/8/8=24

Zendaya and Val - Paso Doble - (oh my) - Len sounded like Bruno, Bruno particularly liked the flamenco beginning, Carrie Ann thought it was beautiful but something about something - 9/9/9=27

Kellie and Derek have immunity due to the fact they have a higher cumulative score for the season.

Aly and Mark dance the Cha Cha Cha against Andy and Sharna - Aly and Mark won meaning they get an extra three points

Zendaya/Val jive against Jacoby/Karina - very good! - Zendaya and Val get three extra points!

Sean/Peta rumba against Ingo/Kym - Ingo and Kym get three extra points

So summarizing:

Kellie - immune
Aly - 32
Zendaya - 30
Jacoby - 27
Ingo - 25
Sean - 24
Andy - 17

Andy needs votes!

Live From The DWTS Results Show On My TV

Couldn't make it to the studios tonight (and I never have before either) but here's what's happening on the results show.

Victor was at the bottom of the judges' scores, with Andy and Jacoby above him. Anything could happen but I think Victor must be favorite to go.

Kicking off with Olly Murs from the UK and a group dance from the pros. (It was pretty good.)

First two celebs up are Aly and Kellie.

Kellie and Derek safe.

Aly and Mark are also safe.

Some highlights from the stars singing karaoke to Stevie Wonder songs, the musicians were good of course, but everyone seemed to have fun.

The encore of the team dance was chosen via Twitter and, of course, Team Paso won because thats the team Zendaya is on. And she has LOTS of fans on Twitter.

More results - Zendaya & Sean.

Zendaya safe, duh.

Sean and Peta are in jeopardy.

Interesting segment on the supporting cast of DWTS.

Will.I.Am. Very good, apart from the MC Hammer pants.

Victor and Ingo are up.

Victor and Lindsay are in jeopardy.

Ingo and Kym are safe.

The Macy's Stars of Dance was a load of dancers in black jackets with red rectangles on the back, moving and coordinating across the floor and never hitting each other. It was more performance art than dance. It was excellent.

Next week is Latin night and Henry Byalikov choreographed a group dance in anticipation - it was not...

Jacoby and Andy are up.

Andy and Sharna join Sean/Peta and Victor/Lindsay in the final three.

Andy and Sharna are safe!

The actual bottom two are Sean and Victor.

Victor Ortiz and Lindsay Arnold have been eliminated.

Victor had the lowest score and didn't seem happy. A really nice guy (for someone who hits people for a living), he was a pleasure.
