I was sure I knew who was going home this week. It was obvious who was the worst out of the bunch and I felt like his time had come, and that horse needed to be put down. But it would be reality television if there were no surprises. And no, I don’t mean that Robin Thicke is still culturally relevant.

As things wind down and get closer to the finale, our pack thins out and we’re left only with the best. That means that the competition gets fiercer and more intense, and it’s up to the contestants to push forward or fall behind. So how did they do this week?

This week was all about elegance and passion, with our group mixing it up and giving us a little bit of everything. There were tangoes, sambas, rhumbas, and more waltz than you could shake a dead cat at. Speaking of dead cats, we also had a couple of those this week. Who were they?

It was a strange night on Dancing With The Stars. There was no dance-off, thank goodness. Honestly, I’m not a fan of the dance-off and it seems to be pointless. Unfortunately, though, that means there was a lot more filler.

What a strange night of performances. We were treated to performances from Etta James and Demi Lovato, a legendary performer and a Disney performer. We found out our saved couples, and our bottom two: David Alan Grier and Lawrence Taylor had to dance for their lives. So, who danced his way to safety and who kicked his way off the stage permanently?

This week was all about beauty, passion, sensuality, and ferocity during the Viennese Waltz and the Pasa Doble. The competition is getting harder as the weeks go on, as we’re starting to lose the lowest competitors. What was once the middle is now closer and closer to the bottom. So, who captured the hearts of the judges and who floundered miserably? Let’s take a look.

Tonight’s “Dancing with the Stars” elimination was full of surprises. We had a wonderful performance by Hall & Oates, who did “Maneater,” which is just classic. It made me happy.

Our saved stars were announced. In a surprising move, Steve Wozniak (who scored a ten out of thirty last night) was among them. I don’t think anyone was expecting that, including the visibly shocked Steve and Edyta, his partner.

Tonight’s “Dancing with the Stars” elimination tried something different: the bottom two stars would dance off at the end in hopes of improving their previous score and perhaps saving them from elimination. But first, the audience was treated to performances from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Jewel that were accompanied by dances from both the professionals in the competition and various other famous dancers.

It is the season of the injury on “Dancing With The Stars.” First Jewel and Nancy O’Dell were sidelined before the season started. This episode brought us more injuries. Steve-O didn’t even show, having been sent to the hospital, and the Woz danced with a bum knee and a busted foot. But our stars danced on, this week showing off their footwork and their precision with the Quickstep and the Salsa. So, who has the moves and who needs to move away? Let’s recap.
