Tonight, the couple with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated. Then the remaining 12 couples will perform another dance. Then tomorrow night, one more couple will be eliminated.
Tom and Samantha start things off by announcing the first couple who is safe, and will perform tonight. That couple is Lance and Lacey. We take a look back on their performance last night, and then see them rehearsing for their second dance of the week, the Quickstep.
Lance is dressed for his quickstep in black pants, a white shirt, and an untied bowtie. He’s also got silver chains coming out of the top of his pants for some reason. They’re looped around, so they kind of resemble one of those janitors’ key chains or something.
Lacey is wearing a long black dress. She’s continuing with her dominatrix theme, and the dress is trimmed in studs and rhinestones. The dress barely has a top at all, and the skirt part is shredded like a mop. She’s also got a wide black band around her neck, with chains coming off of it.
Len says that Lance moved well, but he had bad posture and a bad hold. Bruno says that Lance and Lacey bring a freshness to the competition. He says Lance is a great performer, and Bruno liked the dance. Carrie Ann says she was entertained, but not impressed.
As I look at Lacey getting her comments from the judges, I can’t help but wonder if she’s had some work done since appearing on SYTYCD. Her face looks completely different. Her eyes seem more squinty, her nose looks smaller, and her cheeks look puffier.
Carrie Ann gives Lance and Lacey a score of seven. Len gives them a six, and Bruno gives them an eight. That gives them a total score of 21.
The next pair that is safe is Misty and Maks. Their second dance this week is the Mambo. In rehearsals, Misty has a hard time learning to rotate her hips. As she tries, Maks says “this is the most uncomfortable sexy dance I have ever seen.”
Misty and Maks’ Mambo starts off with just Misty onstage. Her dress is shaped very much like Lacey’s, except that it’s much shorter. It’s also not black and harsh. It’s bright orange with bright yellow trim, very Charoesque (I’m dating myself here). The dress is short and the skirt is fringed in feathers. She also has feathers in the back of her hair.
After a few seconds, Maks.....
