She was able to do some really difficult steps and stayed smiling, and with the scores combined with last week’s scores, she is still on top of the leaderboard.

Wow! There was even a sighting of former SF Giants closer Brian Wilson, beard and all, in the audience!įirst of all, I must put Alexa and Derek at the top. Whatever it was, the ballroom was rocking and hot, hot, hot!!Īlek Skarlatos got all steamy with Emma Slater for a close and personal rumba, and Paula Deen flicked up her skirts at new partner Mark Ballas in her best dance yet. It was a crazy night of “Dancing With the Stars.” I don’t know if it was guest judge Maksim Chmerkovskiy, the return of host Tom Bergeron, that there was no elimination this week, that co-host Erin Andrews was wearing a knock-out sequined dress or that the new partners worked wonders with their celebs.
