Week 5 Live - Guily pleasures and no one goes home

Due to some sort of election there is no elimination this week. Monday sees four couples dance their "guilty pleasure" and the other four perform a team dance. They swap on Tuesday night. There is still voting and scoring - it'll be rolled over to next week.

Kelly and Val - Samba - Want You Back/Cher Lloyd - 8/8/8.5=24.5 - Kelly had a hard week - work during the day, Val (and dance practice) in the evening. Val always seems to have his shirt off. Looks pretty good to this untrained eye. The sexiness is a bit forced at the start though. Len thought there was too much gyrating.

Gilles and Peta - Rumba - I Will Always Love You/Whitney Houston - 10/9.5/10=29.5 - Gosh. What a great show. Acapela to start and big band finish. Bruno thought it was pure theater. Carrie Ann literally fell off her chair while shouting "let the baby making begin". Len thought it was a blockbuster.

Kirstie and Maks - Quickstep - Mrs Robinson/Simon and Garfunkel - 8.5/8.5/8.5=25.5 - It seemed very safe but very competent (and elegant!) too. The judges thought it was her best dance this season.

Emmitt and Cheryl - Samba - Copacabana/Barry Manilow - 9.5/9.5/10=29 - giant parrots! Fun, light footed, enjoyable. Slight mistake at the start. Unstoppable said Len. Bruno was turned on (he said). Carrie Ann said he had the Samba Swagger.

Team Dance - Shawn/Derek, Melissa/Tony, Apolo/Karina, Sabrina/Louis - Freestyle - Call Me Maybe/Carly Rae Jepson - 9.5/10/10=29.5 - Melissa hurt her neck (herniated disk from whiplash) in rehearsals but she was cleared to dance. Very acrobatic, great choreography. Hey Apolo and Karina did some hip hop! Good performance by all. Fantastic said Len. Bruno said great a lot. Carrie Ann did a cheer and didn't fall over.

We get to do it all over again tomorrow night!
