Dancing with the Stars 5: Top 9 Results Live Thoughts
Tonight is the Dancing with the Stars results show in which the fourth contestant will be eliminated.  For the first time on TV, Wade Robson will be dancing.  Gloria was supposed to perform, but couldn't.  Sabrina Bryan earned the first perfect 30 in last night's episode.  Floyd Mayweather says that ballroom dance is better than hip hop dance.  Bruno compared Helio Castroneves to sunlight, and that's what his name means in Greek.  Jane Seymour is annoyed at Carrie Ann for accusing her of breaking the no-lift rule.

Keep refreshing the page; I will provide you with live thoughts throughout the show.

Len asks Cameron Mathison and Edyta's to do their Superman paso doble for an encore.  They are just as striking and dramatic as they were last night, and seriously, Edyta is smoking.  I love her outfit.

Instead of Gloria Estefan's performance, the Dancing with the Stars band perform one of her songs.  The professionals dance along as if the rhythm is gonna get them.  This performance isn't judged, so lifts abound!  Which is good because that's my favorite part of ballroom dancing.  The men's outfits are kind of ridiculous--they have tight shirts with deep v-necks that go all the way down to their belly buttons.

Now for the saves.  As expected, Sabrina and Mark are safe.  And so are Cameron and Edyta.  Who's next?  We've got to wait until after commercials.

After the break, Tom Bergeron tells us that JLo is going to be the musical guest next week.  Then Jimmy Kimmel gives his weekly report.  He brings his parking lot attendant Guillermo to get a tan.  Not that funny, actually.

Samantha is backstage with Sabrina and Mark and Cameron and Edyta.  Sabrina is very gracious and humble about her perfect 30.  Cameron hurt his leg before the show last night but is doing okay now.

Now, it's Wade Robson's performance!  He's dressed up like a magician and has these jesters dancing with him from inside a box with holes on the top and sides.  Wade Robson is godlike in his creativity.  See, normally, I find that there is nothing creepier than clowns and mimes, but he really makes it work.

After commercials, Wayne Newton is back!  Thankfully not to dance, but to sing "Danke Schoen."  Drew is back as well, and dances along with Cheryl.

There's some pretty pointless filler in which celebrities give their take on what is necessary to be a Dancing with the Stars champion.  They all agree that they need trust and chemistry.

Next up on the chopping block are Mark and Kym and Floyd and Karina.  Again, America voted to save Mark, but Floyd and Karina are in the bottom two.

After commercials, Samantha is backstage with Mark and Kym and Floyd and Karin.  Mark thanks the audience for saving him.

Now there's more filler in between the saves.  Jennie and Marie talk about the fear of performing every week.  Cameron fears dropping Edyta and Sabrina has nightmares of falling down the stairs at the beginning of each show.  Mark has a fear of failure.

Two more couples' fates will now be revealed.  Jennie and Derek are safe.  Yay, Kelly Taylor!  Helio and Julianne are safe too.  I bet it's going to be Marie Osmond in the bottom two.

Three more couples await their results.  Everyone is safe except for Mel B and Maks.  Darn, I was wrong.  I agree with Carrie Ann who is flabbergasted that Mel is in the bottom two.  Bruno thinks that Mel is the better of the two and deserves to continue in the competition.  So, now, who will make it, and who won't?  It's Floyd and Karina who have to go home.  I think that makes sense.  Even though he did improve greatly, he was the weaker dancer.  The audience give them a standing ovation.  Karina, who has rocking abs, tells him that she's glad to have met the "real" Floyd Mayweather.
