By 8 pm we were already plunked down in front of our 50″ screen in anticipation of this week’s dancing extravaganza but to be honest, none of the routines left a lasting enough impression for us to pick a clear winner by the end of the two-hour show. If we had to cast our vote though, it would be Mark Kanemura and Chelsie Hightower’s hot Argentine Tango number. Chelsie did a respectable job of Alex da Silva’s choreography, but Mark was the definite star (and a damn sexy one at that). He had the moves and the attitude and was as we’ve come to expect, as quirky as ever. Our close second was Katee & Joshua with their crazy Broadway routine, which was executed to perfection but didn’t make it to the top of our list because the genre is more of an acquired taste. Morten and I take ballroom so we dug the cortes, gauchos, and fans of the tango.

Peeves: I think the show’s popularity is getting to Nigel Lythgoe’s head (much as it did Tyra Banks when ANTM rose in fame). I suggest he stick to judging and leave the theatrics to the professionals. Get the whole story
