Ok, I have to vent my frustration on this.  If Aaron Carter doesn’t escape the bottom two in the elimination tonight on Dancing With the Stars, I’m going to lose it (if only temporarily).  This kid has busted his buttinsky in more ways than one.

His waltz last night with Karina Smirnoff was in my opinion the best waltz of the evening.  And even though their score was good (and yielded a 9 from Len Goodman), Joanna Krupa got a better score for hers.  It was good, but I absolutely don’t think it had what Aaron and Karina’s had: heart, love, passion, sweet smoothness. Kudos to Karina for excellent choreography, and to Aaron for really making a connection with her and becoming a MAN in this dance.  Give this guy credit America!! Nuff said.

Safe to say that Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson’s jitterbug was the hit of the night, in a sea of “careful” jitterbugs. Even so, they did not yield the scores they did last week for their excellent tango.  Donny is a true showman, and his showmanship coupled with Kym’s spirit and clever choreography make a winning team.

The addition this year of a “Marathon Mambo” really added something to the show. You get to see what a regular, general ballroom/latin competition looks like, with many couples peppering the floor and being removed one at a time. With Derek Hough being a former world champion in Latin American Dance, it was a cinch that they would win it, although I had to give props to Mya and Dmitry Chaplin and Aaron and Karina.

It will be an interesting elimination show tonight!!
