All Stars Semi-final Live!

We're at the last but one episode of the Dancing with the Stars All Star season. Due to the Presidential election and the unfathomable decision to include Pamela Anderson to make it 13 contestants we have five couples rather than the oral four.

The couples will dance twice - once to a Michael Jackson song (it's he 25th anniversary of "Bad") and once to a rather strange combination of theme and dance style. We'll see...

NOTE: Double elimination this week!

And here are the scores:

Melissa and Tony - Caveman Hustle - 9/9.5/9=27.5 - fun dance

Shawn and Derek - Knight Rider Bhangra - 10/10/10=30 - excellent - "Call Me Mary" said Len. I have no idea why.

Apolo and Karina - Big Top Jazz - 8.5/9/9.5=27 - seemed a lot of mistakes to me, they seem very uncomfortable. Carrie Ann agreed with me, Bruno thought it was great.

Emmitt and Cheryl - Espionage Lindy Hop - 9/9/9=27 - Fun and very well done

Kelly and Val - Surfer Flamenco - 8/9/8.5=25.5 - oh, very good. Plus they ended up in swimsuits!

The couples then danced to songs from Bad:

Melissa/Tony - Argentine Tango - "Dirty Diana" - 10/10/10=30

Shawn/Derek - Argentine Tango - "Bad" - 9/10/10=29 very very good but a little sterile. Carrie Ann agreed with me, the other two judges didn't. Not that anyone cares what I think!

Apolo /Karina - Rumba - "Man in the Mirror" - 10/10/10=30 - lovely dance. It melted Carrie Ann's heart. "Like the sea" said Len.

Emmitt/Cheryl - Tango - "Leave Me Alone" - 9/9/9=27 - competent

Kelly/Val - Rumba - "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" - 9.5/9.5/9.5=28.5

Two go home tomorrow night and Paula Abdul dances. Can't wait!
