Every season DWTS throws in theme nights and Season 13 is no different.
Week 5 saw The Bangles opening the show with "Walk Like and Egyptian" for 80s night.
Hope Solo opened the show with a Tango to "Livin' on a Prayer. The dance lacked strength and at times looked awkward. Judge Len Goodman not impressed and commented that Solo was too willowy and lacked strength. Scores: Carrie Ann 8 + Len 8 + Bruno 8 =24
Carson Kressley has shown week after week that he is the celebrity with the least amount of dancing technique, but definitely makes up for it in entertainment value because it is obvious that he is giving it his all. Kressley's jive was no different filled with high energy and spastic movements Bruno commented that is was "a crowning achievement in madness." Scores: Carrie Ann 6 + Len 6 + Bruno 7 =19
Nancy Grace was next up with a Rumba. DWTS is definitely showing a different side of Grace, but there is often a disconnect in her dancing where the story and the movements don't always seem to connect, but you could tell she was really trying with her Rumba. Carrie Ann urged Grace to focus on finishing her movements and Bruno called it one of her best performances. Scores: Carrie Ann 7+ Len 7 + Bruno 8 =22
J.R. Martinez has hovered in second place the last few weeks and was hoping his Samba would put him back on the top of the leader board. There is something refreshing about watching J.R. dance because you really see that he is giving his all and having the time of his life. After receiving a standing ovation from the audience, J.R. received glowing remarks from the judges with Bruno calling it brilliant. Scores: Carrie Ann 9 + Len 9 + Bruno 10 =28
Rob Kardashian had a visit from friend and Season 12 DWTS alum, Romeo who helped him bring out his sexy side for the Rumba. The lessons with Romeo were evident as Rob moved through his Rumba with confidence and continued his streak of seeing improvements each week. Scores: Carrie Ann 9 + Len 8 + Bruno 8 =25
Chaz Bono was aided by partner Lacey's father renowned dance coach Buddy Schwimmer on how to bring it on the dance floor. Chaz's samba was filled with energy and he had a smile on his face the whole time. Chaz is not one of the best dancers, but he continues to give his all week after week. Scores: Carrie Ann 7 + Len 7 + Bruno 7 =21
David Arquette definitely looked the part has he danced the Tango to "Tainted Love" dressed in all black. There seemed to be a new sense of focus and drive throughout the dance. Len and Bruno thought Arquette's Tango was "fantastic" with Carrie Ann adding that he needs to work on his musicality. Arquette is definitely one of the dancers that his always fun to watch, but even better is the joy and excitement on his daughter, Coco's face everytime he finishes a routine. Scores: Carrie Ann 8 + Len 9 + Bruno 8 =25
Ricki Lake has dominated the competition, earning the season's first 10s in week 4, but in rehearsals it is evident that the pressure is starting to weigh on her. A visit from John Waters lifted the mood, but Ricki's Foxtrot lacked the strength and precision that she has showed in previous routines. Bruno commented that Ricki "can't be a genius every week" while Carrie ann highlighted how great Ricki and her parter Derek Hough always dance as one. Scores: Carrie Ann 8 + Len 8 + Bruno 8 =24
It is hard to predict who will go home especially since two high scorers, Kristin Cavallari and Chynna Phillips, have been eliminated. Since the competition is at the half way point I really like to see strong dancers move on and judging by the scores Carson is the likely one to go, and although I do love his routines I think he along with Chaz or Nancy will be in the bottom two.
