Tonight, in honor of Misty’s departure, her partner, Max, danced the Jive he was supposed to do with Misty.  He danced with Edyta Sliwinska and it was (obviously) SO good – they’re awesome   Max looked like such a dork, so that was fun to watch.

\With the first wave of people who were going on to the next week, incredibly, was Cloris & Corky.  Another gawking at the screen by me, too.

Kool & The Gang performed and then the stars talked about their experiences & strengths and what they bring to the dance floor.

Next, we had the Rockettes – no idea why, really, except that they have to fill the hour. LOL  Then, Jennifer Hudson performed while brother & sister Derek & Julianne danced – which is a treat because they’re both so very talented.

Then we heard from some of the “best” choreographers talking about the choreographers on the show and their favorites.

Again – filling an hour.

Surprisingly, they announced that no one would be eliminated this week, due to Misty & Max having to leave. However, their votes from this week will be added up and added to next week’s scores.  In the end, the lowest scoring couple was Rocco & Karina – and would have gone home.  Big mountain to climb for them next week.
