'Dancing With the Stars:' Bring on the Broadway

Week 6 saw the seven remaining "Dancing With the Stars contestants dancing to Broadway tunes.

Something new to this season is having musical guests performing on Monday's show and the cast of Broadway's "Sister Act" set the mood of the show opening the night with a medley of tunes from their show. The episode also featured a performance of Maybe This Time from Cabaret and I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady from Kristin Chenoweth.

Once again the episode belong to Ricki Lake and J.R. Martinez who tied with a score of 29 for their Quicksteps. Ricki brings elegance and exquisite to the dance floor while J.R. also is a talented dancer draws the audience in with his personality and style that seems to emanate from deep within. I will be shocked if these two don't make it to the finals.

While these two continued their rise to the top 4 out of the remaining 5 contestants saw a drop in scores from last week.

Nancy Grace experienced a 2 point increase from last week with her Foxtrot to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from "Spamalot." For the first time ti looked like she was truly having fun and was throwing herself fully into the routine.


The night took a turn after Hope Solo's Rumba to "Seasons of Love" from "Rent." She received a 20 and it definitely wasn't her best performance and head judge Len Goodman called it her worst of the season. Solo's partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy was not pleased and said “I’m a little tired that we’re being judged some on effort, and some being picked on heel-leads.”


The highlight of the night was the group dance to “Hey, Big Spender” from “Sweet Charity” that featured lifts and highlighted the dynamic and friendships that have formed between the contestants.

Judging by tonight's dances I think Chaz and Hope will be in the bottom two
