Dancing With the Stars Round 5
It was a pretty good week of dancing, including the first group dance.
Kristi and Mark stole the show with a perfect 30 nobody can dispute. It was a tour de force in every way. Wow! An A-plus!
My pick for second is Christián, not Mario who the judges scored higher. Yes, I really like the smooth elegance of the fox trot, and I agree with Len that Mario's routine was a bit too sleazy.
At the bottom is Marlee. It's always instinctive to handicap her scores, and it was a decent performance. But decent isn't enough this far into the competition, and I think she's out this week.
Also in the bottom two? I wouldn't be surprised to see Jason Taylor, who is almost too athletic to be smooth. I think Marrissa should be safe, but Shannon - probably not, in the bottom two with Marlee.
Still, I enjoyed every dance which is to say the competition has gone up a level.
THE RESULTS: Marlee, yes, left us this week. What a talent given her circumstances! Surprisingly, Mario was with her in the red spotlight, not Shannon or Jason.
