Everyone went into week 4 with the knowledge that their scores from the previous week would be combined with this week’s scores. With Misty & Max being unexpectedly removed from competition, it was anyone’s guess who would go this week. The dances this week, the Tango and the Samba, were so different from star to star!

Dancers |
Score |
| Maurice Green & Cheryl dressed up as 70’s dancers with the big hair and did the samba and did a pretty good job. Maurice still isn’t very polished and his movements aren’t refined enough for the judges. |
20 |
| Cody Linley & Julianne did the tango and did a really nice job. Cody actually came off more mature, which is a big step for him. Judges appreciated it too. |
23 |
| Toni Braxton & Alec did the samba, and were awesome, I thought. Judges weren’t as impressed |
22 |
| Cloris Leachman & Corky’s tango was actually serious and, dare I say it – elegant. She reigned in her antics and did a really nice job. Of course, the judges were rather shocked, too. Len called her “raunchy”, which she actually wasn’t this week LOL They got their highest score EVER. |
22 |
| Rocco DiSpirito & Karina did the samba, and Bruno told him he doesn’t have a musical bone in his body. They actually scored worse than Cloris, which is hard to do! |
18 |
| Susan Lucci & Tony did the tango, which was a perfect dance for another actress. They danced very well together, although I thought it was a bit too basic. Of course, what do *I* know? LOL The judges appreciated it, though. |
24 |
| Brooke Burke & Derek did the samba, which she just seems perfect for. At least she can move her body and isn’t as stiff as cardboard, like Rocco. Len called it too erotic, probably because Derek exposed his chest. LOL Bruno called it raunchy, but in a good way. |
26 |
| Lance Bass & Lacey did a rather strange Tim Burton-esque type of tango and the judges loved it. |
26 |
| Warren Sapp & Kym did the samba and this week, he didn’t quite wow the judges as much. It was too basic and although they are really cute together, it just didn’t work as well for them. |

I also watched Julianne & Cody Linley on Ellen this week and Julianne confided that she thought their biggest competition is probably between them and her brother Derek (& Brooke). I tend to agree.
As I predict every week, I think Cloris & Corky are to go home this week – however, I’ve been wrong 4 times so far!
On the results show, the judges requested that Lance & Lacey re-do their tango, and then we were subjected to Flamenco dancers, who even felt it would make their dancing better to remove their shirts. Whatever. The ballroom kids competition began again this week, and it’s just too cute to see these 10 & 11 yr olds dancing somewhat better than those of the adults that started the show LOL
Also, because we obviously haven’t had ENOUGH election ads, the stars all ran their own ads exposing the “dirt” on their other rivals. They were very funny, though - much more fun to watch than McCain/Obama!

Finally, the results! Rocco & Cloris in the bottom 2 – and inexplicably, Rocco goes home. Well, maybe not inexplicably, but still – really?
Anyway, Rocco & Karina were voted off, and now we’re down to 8.
Next week, they are introducing FOUR brand new dances to the competition!
Jitterbug
Salsa
West Coast Swing
The Hustle
I can’t wait to see how that turns out!
