This is not a cha-cha. It's more vaguely latin ballroom posing.
Edit: well, at least Mary is bringing the solid critique.
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

Because books.
When Mary critiques like that, I realize she knows what the hell she's talking about when it comes to ballroom, because I'm totally lost.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm barely watching AND not packing! Yikes.

My eyes! I think I can see Will's dance belt through his skin-tight white satin pants.

Casper, on The Red Pants: "I like these pants. They show off his butt. But not the butt crack."
The music was very, very odd for a salsa.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
That salsa was slooooooow. Nigel was right about that.
Two Mandy Moore routines and no 80s music?
So far, I'm not wowed tonight.

Overall this was not a great night. Especially disappointing ballroom by non-ballroom couples; usually they are not THAT bad.

I liked that last number a lot, but I wasn't as impressed with the "I Will Always Love You" routine as the judges were. The song is so manipulative now, I think it overshadows anything set to it.
Why do they want Eliana to dance? I think she's incredible, and much as I like Cyrus, she's holding their routines together on her own.
