From the looks of the leader board, things are back to normal. Mya and Dmitry Chaplin are on top, and Aaron Carter is in the bottom. The little twists include, Mr. Popularity Donny Osmond is actually in the bottom with him. The five remaining couples on
Dancing with the Stars had two performances, and while everyone had trouble in the first dance (except Mya, who was nearly flawless), all hell broke loose in the second dance - and in a good way.
The notable thing about this week's leader board is, a whopping 7 points separate the first placers and the runner up. Here's how the leader board looks on
Dancing with the Stars Week 8.
Don't forget to catch:
Dancing with the Stars: Final 5 Performances, Live Thoughts 1. Mya and Dmitry Chaplin (Quickstep - 29, 70s Samba - 30) = 59
2. Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough (Quickstep - 23, Futuristic Paso Doble - 29) = 52
3. Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel (Foxtrot - 25, 60s Jive - 26) = 51
4. Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff (Foxtrot - 23, 90s Samba - 27) = 50
5. Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson (Viennese Waltz - 26, 80s Paso Doble - 24) = 50
The best - Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough's Futuristic Paso DobleWhen you think of the future and the paso doble, it seems that the two things have absolutely nothing in common. Thanks to Derek Hough, however, everything in this dance was perfect. The music, the costume, and the choreography itself. The awesome thing was, they didn't sacrifice the elements of the Paso Doble, and the routine itself is still very much a paso doble. And to Joanna's credit, she was near perfect too. So good concept had good execution.
The worst - Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough's QuickstepFinally. Finally! One of the judges point out Joanna's non-pointy toes! And as hard as it is to believe, she was able to reach this far into the competition without fixing that bad habit. Didn't Derek notice it? The fact that Mya also danced the quickstep didn't help their case at all, since it's obvious that their routine lacked the same fluidity and grace.
Which was your favorite tonight?
