It’s getting down to the wire on Dancing With The Stars and the five remaining stars put on their strongest performances yet on Monday night!
In fact, in a season first, a contestant finished the night with two perfect scores! Yes, war veteran J.R. Martinez earned a 30, not once, but twice alongside partner Karina Smirnoff. First J.R. earned three 10s for his flawless waltz. “It was like a musical Valentine card,” said judge Bruno Tonioli. “You dance with your heart on your sleeve. It was divine.” Moments later, J.R. earned another 30 for his insta-jive! “There’s nobody coming close to you tonight,” gushed judge Carrie Ann Inaba.
Showing a definite improvement last night was soccer star Hope Solo as she tied for second place with Ricki Lake! Perhaps it was all due to her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy who promised to take a kinder, gentler approach with Hope. “I will take responsibility for being overly rough,” said Maks during rehearsals about being too hard on Hope last week. It appeared to work as the duo received their highest score of the season — a 27 for their light and breezy quickstep. They ended the night with a total score of 52!
Coming in last was news anchor Nancy Grace, finishing the night with a combined score of 44. “It’s midnight, and it’s time to go home,” judge Len Goodman said to Nancy after comparing her to Cinderella. Ouch!
The full scores from last night are below –
J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff: (30, 30) 60
Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy: (27, 25) 52
Ricki Lake & Derek Hough: (28, 24) 52
Rob Kardashian & Cherly Burke (27, 24) 51
