Average Ain’t Good Enough on Dancing with the Stars

With the great talent on Season 8 of Dancing with the Stars, average scores simply ain’t good enough. Even scores of 8 are grounds for elimination. Week 7 of DWTS showcased some serious talent and routines. Let’s begin!

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani started the show with a bar raising Argentine Tango. After a score of 29, I thought the rest of the competition would falter, but not so. LT’s waltz, though okay, was much better than his previous outings.

Yeah, Lil’ Kim and Derek Hough were too conservative this week and need to heed Bruno’s advice of bringing the raunch back.

My favorite performance for this week goes to Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough. Not just because Chuck copped a feel on national television, but because he actually had a dancing breakthrough with a score of 27.

At about the 0:12 mark, check out the squeezy squeezy action.

Even though Ty Murray made a ballroom comeback, I think his appeal is running its course. He scored higher than LT, but I’m thinking Ty’s getting sacked first.

A close favorite is Shawn Johnson’s cha cha cha to Michael Jackson’s PYT. She was definitely in her element with this performance.

Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke closed out the individual dances, but I didn’t care too much for their Viennese Waltz.

So there you have it, another great week of Dancing with the Stars.
