First up with the individual dance tonight Chelsea Kane and Professional Dancer, Mark Ballas are going to dance the Paso DobleLen said, he gets confused but at his age it is understandable.  He got confused over the dance, there was too much aggression.  Bruno said, felt it was like a Quintin Tarantino Paso Doble and he thought it was outstanding.  Carrie Ann said, out with the old in with the new she loved it.  Donnie said, last week he thought she did the best number.  But he feels a little like Len and he was a little confused.  It was a little too aggressive.  Scores: Donnie – 8, Carrie Ann – 9, Len -8, Bruno – 9 =  Total – 34 + 30 from the team dance = 64

Kendra Wilkinson and Professional Dance Partner, Louis Van Amstel dancing the Tango. Bruno said, she is still sexy but she was hangin onto Louis a little too much.  Carrie Ann said, she is so proud of Kendra it was elegant, she had a little hiccup but she recovered.  Donnie said, he watched her last week break off the shackles and this week it was much more difficult and she did a good job. Len said, he agrees she coped very well.  He would like it a tad more crisp and she clinged on Louis a bit too much.  Scores: Donnie – 8, Carrie Ann – 8, Len -7, Bruno – 8 =  Total – 31 + 30 from the team dance = 61

Kirstie Alley and Professional Dance Partner, Maks Chmerkovskiy dancing the JiveCarrie Ann said,  she just loves her so much but there was not enough of the jive.  She said Kirstie looks amazing.  Donnie said, I really liked it, I buy it.  He thinks she was great.  Len said, it was fun, high energy and playful.  However as a jive it was uneventful.  Bruno said,  you might have gone wrong but as an entertainer it was superb.  He felt she gave it and it was enjoyable.  Her musicality and her instinct is always on the money all the time.  Scores: Donnie – 9, Carrie Ann – 7, Len -6, Bruno – 8 =  Total – 30 + 30 from the team dance = 60

Ralph Macchio and Professional Dance Partner, Karina Smirnoff dancing the Quick StepDonnie said,  you started off vertical and finished horizontally so it had to be good.  Your foot work was fabulous.  He thought they rocked.  Len said, he liked the energy and he loved the energy, his upper body is a little bit loose but overall a great job.  Bruno said, it was more than a quick step, he thought that he got it.  He thinks he is a great performer and did really really good.  Carrie Ann said, you’re back.  You had some rough weeks this is the way to do it.  Great job!  Scores: Donnie – 10, Carrie Ann – 9, Len -8, Bruno – 9 =  Total – 36 + 30 from the team dance = 66

Hines Ward and Professional Dancer, Kym Johnson dancing the TangoLen said, it was a mixture for him some of it he felt he was like a tiger and then it went into a fairy mode – too dainty for him.  Overall he liked it very much.  Bruno said, he liked the way he played it, big strong and masterful and managed to retain the stealth.  He felt it was a killer tango.  Carrie Ann said, what he does that is so unique is he takes command of every dance.  Tonight though he was a little off balance.  Donnie said, he thinks he dances from his heart and uses his head and he has a nice personality however, he felt his arms were a little flying.  But overall he did a great job.  Scores: Donnie – 9, Carrie Ann – 9, Len -8, Bruno – 10 =  Total – 36 + 30 from the team dance = 66

Romeo and Professional Dancer, Chelsie Hightower dancing the SambaBruno said, he can definitely get down and shake it.  One thing he has to get the bounce in his knees right.  Carrie Ann said, there was a lot of bounce going on.  She thinks he has incredible potential but he has to work on getting the right type of bounce.  Donnie said, feels he has achieved grace and elegance but he he may have a party in his pants but he has an earthquake in his feet.  Len said, he did not like it, he talked the talk but did not dance the dance.  He feels he has to up his game.  Scores: Donnie – 7, Carrie Ann – 8, Len -7, Bruno – 8 =  Total – 30 + 30 from the team dance = 60
