Tonight on Dancing with the Stars, the women continued to bring it, all earning high scores, and the men improved from last week. Sabrina Bryan was the judges' favorite, followed closely by Jennie Garth, Helio Castroneves and Melanie Brown (Mel B). It's getting really exciting because the level of dance is improving week to week, and each competitor is clearly working hard to get to the top. But will it be another man who will say good-bye tomorrow? Read on to find a recap of tonight's show. Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan and her partner Mark Ballas knocked it out of the park tonight with their paso doble, earning this season's first perfect 30 out of 30. Bruno thought that she fantastic tonight, like a prowling lynx. There is a three-way tie for second place. Soap star and host Cameron Mathison, actress Jennie Garth and racecar driver Helio Castroneves each earned a score of 27. Cameron and Edyta did a Superman-themed paso doble, Cameron in a jumpsuit with a C on his chest, and Edyta, showing a lot of skin in her sexy blue dress. Cameron hurt his leg this morning, but it didn't show in his performance. Len even said that Cameron goes with paso doble like fish go with chips. Jennie and Derek did the paso doble as well. They nailed their routine, making it dramatic and fluid, and the judges rewarded them with praise and high scores. Len said that Jennie is "blooming fantastic" and rated their performance a perfect 10. Helio and Julianne tore up the floor with their Viennese waltz. Their performance was a solid one, which might bring Helio back to the top of the leaderboard. Jane Seymour, Mel B and Mario Osmond are right behind these three, each with a score of 26. Jane and Tony Dovolani's Viennese walts was regal and elegant, but they were the first of many tonight to incur Carrie Ann's wrath for doing an illegal lift. Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy also had a solid night. Their Viennese waltz had grace and passion, but Carrie Ann thought that Mel B should work on her turns. Marie and Jonathan Roberts also had the Viennese waltz. The notable comment the judges made of her performance was that she looked like a sleepy stripper. Men populated the bottom of the pack: boxer Floyd Mayweather and his partner Karin Smirnoff earned 23 points, and Mark Cuban and his partner Kym Johnson came in last with 22 points. Both were improved from previous weeks, but still noticeably behind the pack. Tune in tomorrow for the Dancing with the Stars Results Show. Wade Robson will be performing, as will Gloria Estafan. Competition Blog Comment: A dance competition does show some beautiful dance around; but I could never be satisfied with the results that either the judges imposed on the dancers or the public voting did. I always felt that the best quality was just chucked out and the mediocre came to the front in the limelight. The quality judgment is never objective on our parts. It's rather colored with our subjective likes and dislikes whether consciously or at an unconscious level. Who can judge whom in such a psychologically oriented scenario? We are not the men of passion; we are just the men of emotions - as judges in a dance competition also - including me here as the perpetrator of this competition blog!
