I totally agree about Joanna's recovery — amazing! And I agree about the “cheese” — haha, I don't mind cheesiness on this show either, although it bugs me like crazy on SYTYCD.

Shoot a poison dart at Godzilla!<br>I agree with just about everything you've said. The Louis/Kelly paso wasn't perfect but damn I just love those two together. She really is quite striking looking isn't she?<br>I really think Donny Osmond is going to win this thing. You can see the upward progression of his dancing week after week and he really appreciates having Kym as his partner. <br>Except for the midway stumble I thought Maks/Joanna had the best Argentine <br>Tango! It impressed the heck out me how she recovered from the flub like a pro. She's really winning me over and I hope she stays for awhile. <br>I loved the opening of Mark/Lacey's Paso. When she charged through the smoke she looked like an angry bull (a rhinestone encrusted angry bull, but still) intent on goring Mark. The costume and hair were over the top cheesy. I actually like a little bit of cheese on this show.<br>Sorry to see Natalie go. She had potential and seemed like a hard worker. I think Louis Vito should have gone. <br>And can anyone tell me the correct pronunciation for Argentine Tango? The DWTS announcer pronounces it ArgenTINE with the emphasis on the long i. I thought it was ArgenTEEN tango. Try to get some sleep Tonya! Shoot a poison dart at Godzilla!

Oh that Lacey, with her drama! <br><br>I am totally in agreement with you regarding the music that's being used for the pasos. Jeez, horrible. As I have no technical knowledge of the AT, I enjoyed seeing it: after reading your review and the ladies comments, I suspect that ignorance is bliss. What I don't know won't hurt me and I love watching the intricate foot movements of the AT. Anyway, I watch DWTS only to see the pros dance, rarely am I interested in the "stars".

I wrote a long rant about it this summer...it just makes me tired. Add to that the fact that I boycotted watching DWTS because of Tom Delay, and I am not invested in any of the dancers now. but I may have to peek at the KellyO/Louis number to Ozzy's song, just because it sounds like fun!
