Dancing with the Stars 6: Week 9 Loser

Marissa Jaret Winokur, Tony Dovolani

On last night’s episode of Dancing with the Stars: Season 6, the four semifinalists had the opportunity to showcase their improvement.  Their dances - chosen at random - were all repeats of styles they had done before. 

By night’s end:

  • Jason Taylor got a 28 for his Foxtrot (formerly 22) and a 27 for his Paso Doble (26).  Total = 55.
  • Cristián de la Fuente was coincidentally assigned the same two performances he attempted the night of his injury.  Despite horrible flashbacks, he earned a 27 for his Viennese Waltz (25) and a 29 for his Samba (21).  His total of 56 topped the Miami Dolphin.
  • Underdog Marissa Jaret Winokur scored a 26 for her Quickstep (21) and a 26 for the Rumba (25).  Total - 52.
  • Kristi Yamaguchi racked up a 28 for her Jive (down from her perfect 30) and a 29 for her Tango (27).  Her total of 57 was the best of the evening.

Last week, the elite eight - minus a few exceptions - struggled with the show’s Latin night.  By Tuesday, Marlee lost her timing, Shannon lost her hips and Priscilla lost her place in the competition.

Tonight on Dancing with the Stars: Season 6, the amateurs had to memorize two new dances—one they had never done before and a group country number.  (The latter performance wasn’t scored.)  Were the stars able to please the judges…or did the program’s newest couple hog all the attention?

Dancing with the Stars 6: Week 2 Losers

Without a token model to cast off this time around, the viewers of ultimately based their first set of votes on sheer ability.

For the show’s first double-elimination, there were little surprises to be had.  After Monday’s numbers were combined with last week’s scores, magician Penn Jillette and tennis star Monica Seles both found themselves one foot out the door.  (Their grand totals of 33 and 30, respectively, were the lowest of the competition.)  Tonight, the fans gently pushed them the rest of the way out.

At this stage last fall, Josie Maran and Albert Reed were the first two to be let go.  The real shockers didn’t start developing until several weeks in.  Could we eventually see a Sabrina Bryan-esque elimination this season?  If so - when do you think it will happen?  Place your bets now!
