AceShowbiz - The floor was heated once more when the couples in "Dancing with the Stars" returned on Monday, April 13 to show their new moves. This week, the remaining eight couples performed either of two difficult routines, the energetic Jive or slow and romantic Rumba.
Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower opened the night with Jive. In order to loosen him up, Chelsie got him to play hula hoop and trampoline, and she also choreographed Texas-two-step-themed jive. Len said that he obviously tried hard but complimented on his effort of giving his best each week. Bruno said that it was a wrong jive while Carrie criticized the footing. The score was 6-6-6, giving it 18 out of 30.
Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas did the Rumba. Bruno teased that it had the innocent side of romance and "almost angelic." But he added, "and yet again I could sometimes see the hint of the devil." Carrie liked the second half of the dance. Len said it was age-appropriate for Shawn, not too hot or cold, just right. The score was 8-9-9, giving it 26 out of 30.
Doing the second Jive were Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska, the couple who was almost eliminated last week. Both Carrie and Bruno said that Lawrence got the groove back and it was so much fun seeing him jiving. Len meanwhile, said that he needed to be lighter on the feet. The score was 7-7-8, giving it their best score yet 22 out of 30.
The second Rumba came from Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani. Len pointed out that Melissa was still showing her ballectic side but applauded on the choreography. Bruno wanted to see "Melissa the Maneater", while Carrie wanted to see more hip action. The score was 9-9-9, giving it 27 out of 30.
Lil' Kim and Derek Hough did the Jive, dancing along "Jailhouse Rock" and dressing as police officer and the prisoner. Bruno was so overwhelmed that he said, "Arrest me, frisk me, take me!". Similarly, Carrie jumped to her feet and gave Lil' Kim a hug. Len, on the other side, gave the undertone, saying that there was not enough jive because they were too carried away by the theatrical plot. The score was 10-8-10, giving it 28 out of 30.
Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer danced to Rumba. Two of the judges hated it. Len said that "it was no good", and Bruno said that it was simply bad. Carrie however, said that there is something oddly mesmerizing about watching Steve-O dancing. The score was 7-4-5. giving it 16 out of 30.
Another Jive through Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke. Unlike in the previous weeks, the couple did not earn high praises. Len said that it was too frantic and they were off the beat. Bruno sounded off similar comment, saying that it was frantic and that they were actually looking like a mad squirrel. Carrie spotted something weird with Gilles' arms. The score was 9-8-9, giving it 26 out of 30.
Last to dance was Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough with Rumba. Carrie said that it was the most passionate Rumba of the night, but wished that Chuck will work on the technique the next time around. Len was a bit harsh, saying that many lines were missing and that Chuck was uneven at some parts. However, Bruno said that he wanted "some more of that please". The score was 8-7-8, giving it 23 out of 30.
