REALITY BYTES

Last night on Dancing With the Stars, we got to see Steve Wozniak and his partner Karina Smirnoff do the Argentine Tango; Wozniak style. Later in the evening, we saw Gilles Marini with Cheryl Burke do the Argentine Tango to a classic perfection, DWTS style. I thought Len was going to cry over it. Dancing With the Stars is that kind of a show!

The judges on DWTS broke the seal on giving out 10s this episode. Lil Kim and Derek Hough performed the Argentine Tango. Derek and Lil Kim both had to learn this dance. Yet, Derek is used to learning new routines on the spot. It must have worked out, because Bruno and Carrie Ann loved their performance.

Len had a few issues with Lil Kim and Derek’s version of this Argentine ghetto dance. Yet, he still gave Lil Kim an 8. Bruno gave them a perfect 10 points. Carrie Ann 9 points. They ended up with 27 overall points. Lil Kim looked on the verge of tears. She is putting a lot of pressure on herself to perform well.

Melissa Rycroft and her partner Tony Dovolani explored the lindy hop and were the first couple last night, to explode on the dance floor, bringing the audience out of their seats. I just can’t get over how well Melissa Rycroft can kick up her heels on Dancing With the Stars. Melissa and Tony had a rather awkward moment, during rehearsals. What a riot!They received a total of 29 points from Bruno, Len and Carrie Ann.

Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke were the first couple to get a perfect score, doing the Argentine Tango. It was a flawless performance. Carrie Ann commented that she could not tell who was the amateur dancer in this routine.

Gilles Marini puts a lot of added pressure on himself every week. Last night, the camera went in for a close-up shot of Gilles and Cheryl at the start of their Tango. Gilles’ Jaw bone muscles were convulsing so much, you would have thought he cracked a few back molars! Yet, Gilles really is in his element in this season of Dancing WIth the Stars. He has not performed badly, yet.

Steve Wozniak is not in his element and unfortunately, he performs very badly. Performing the tango, Wozniak took few risks.

This is a clip of Steve Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff’s performance on Dancing With the Stars.

Steve Wozniak has proven that he has a lot of supportive voters, that call in every week and save him. Yet, tonight is going to be a double elimination on Dancing With the Stars. I don’t believe that anything can save Wozniak from being eleminated this evening.

The elimination of “The Woz Man” tonight, would take a lot of heat off of the judges. Len, Bruno and Carrie like Steve a lot, but they are so uncomfortable now and almost tongue tied, in their critiques of his performances. Bruno seems to be bordering on hostile, toward Wozniak’s ability to stay in this competition. Yes, it’s a lot of fun too!

Here is the score card from last night, in order of performances.

David Alan Grier - 22 pts. Lil Kim - 27 pts. Chuck Wicks - 22 pts. Lawrence Taylor - 19 pts. Ty Murray - 25 pts. Steve Wozniak - 12 pts. Melissa Rycroft - 29 pts. Holly Madison - 16 pts. Steve-O - 15 pts. Gilles Marini - 30 pts. Shawn Johnson - 25 pts.

Which two celebrities will be leaving Dancing With the Stars tonight, is anyone’s guess. My guess would be Steve Wozniak and Holly Madison. If Wozniak is not eliminated on tonight’s show, what does this have to say about Mac users?
