The Judges' Scores in (Not So) Guilty Pleasures Week

This week the couples danced to "Guilty Pleasures" - meant to be songs you don't want everyone to know you like.  Except most of them seemed just fine.  But that's probably a reflection on me of course...

Hansen started off the show singing MmmBop (I can never spell that) accompanied by The DWTS Troupe.  They also performed some snippets of "guilty pleasure" songs throughout the evening - it worked quite well actually.

So - here are the results:

• Kirstie and Maks - 26 - a better performance from Kirstie than the last couple, still some hesitancy.  I hate to say it again but she is marvellous considering her age and body type.
• Chris and Cheryl - 22 - they did a tango to "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.  The song isn't a guilty pleasure and it's not a tango song.  A bit of a lacklustre performance this week I'm afraid.
• Romeo and Chelsie - 28 - this performance did not deserve a 30 but it was once of the best I've seen.  Waltzing to "My Heart Must Go On" with lots of fog (that fog machine has been value for money!).  I half expected a fog horn.  "...magical" - Carrie Ann.
• Chelsea and Mark - 28 - great, fun dance to "Walking on Sunshine".  Apparently Mark had a twisted ankle - couldn't tell!
• Kendra and Louis - 25 - "Livin' La Vida Loca" is NOT a guilty pleasure.  Anyway, Kendra did much better this week - dances that make her shake play to her strengths - both of them
• Hines and Kym - 27 - apparently Hines is flat-footed according to Len.  Still a great entertainer though.  Hines really is the one to beat.
• Ralph and Karina - 24 - ooops, Karina tripped.  Ralph helped her up and carried on.  What a team!  The judges were a little generous I felt.

The other thing of note was clips from the music video for "I'm Still Standing" by Elton John.  Bruno was featured throughout!

Chris has the lowest points, but I think a number could be in jeopardy - Ralph, Kendra, Kirstie - it all depends on the viewers!
