Maurice & Cheryl: Ex-Olympic sprinter Maurice Greene was a little too wound up, so Cheryl brought in his daughter to help lighten the mood. Did it work? After a disco-inspired samba, judge Len Goodman said he liked it, but Maurice had to work on refining everything. Bruno Tonioli called the pair "Mr. and Mrs. Jackie Brown." He said the samba was not so fabulous and called it "a little too loose." Carrie Ann Inaba said that they didn't progress this week and fell into too much free form. Scores: 6, 7, and 7, from Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno, respectively. Total for both weeks: 44.
Cody & Julianne: Julianne Hough was getting a little fed up with Cody Linley's short attention span and called in his high school principal for reinforcements. After their tango, Bruno said Cody was starting to find his mojo. He said it was confident and masculine. Carrie Ann said they were a little out of sorts because Cody was tripping over Julianne's outfit. Len called it "sharp" and "aggressive," calling it their best dance so far. Scores: 7, 8, and 8, from Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno. Total: 44.
Toni & Alec: Singer Toni Braxton said her heart was doing well and she was ready for a fast-paced samba. Her partner Alec Mazo challenged her with a difficult step. Could she handle it? Carrie Ann said "there's no denying the sensuality that you two ooze on the dance floor," but said Toni needed to work on her shoulders. Carrie Ann admitted she was "being tough" this night. Len liked it but noticed that it "went a little bit funny" at one point. Bruno called her a tasty morsel and said Toni can "shake it like the best." Scores: 7, 7, and 8, from Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno, respectively. Total: 44.
Cloris & Corky: It was Cloris Leachman time again! Cloris worried about technique because she knew she was in danger. She said she wanted to try for the very best this week. She and partner Corky Ballas were getting serious with their tango. The performance earned a standing ovation, and Len said "if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it." He said it was "absolutely fabulous and I loved it." Bruno said it was like watching a silent movie and praised "the legs." Carrie Ann said she owed Cloris an apology, saying "I underestimated you." She said she previously thought Cloris always had to go with the quick joke because that was all she had. Carrie Ann couldn't get the rest of her explanation out before finally getting cut off, but she seemed impressed. Scores: 8, 7, and 7, from Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno, respectively. Total: 38.
Rocco & Karina: The celebrity chef was stuck between a Rocco and a hard place after knowing that he would have been a goner last week if not for Misty's injury. He wanted to make the most of his second chance. Rocco said he'd been waiting all his life to wear pink chiffon ruffles. Bruno said he doesn't "have a musical bone" in his body. Carrie Ann said the dancing was "lacking." Len praised him for coming out and having fun. Scores: 6, 6, and 6. Total: 38.
Susan & Tony: Soap opera star Susan Lucci was looking to make up for Carrie Ann's calling her "timid" the previous week. Partner Tony Dovolani got a chance to play a small part on "All My Children" to get a taste of where she gets her dramatic flair. She was ready to take control of the tango. Carrie Ann said "that was what I have been waiting for Miss Erica Kane." Len said there was "nothing timid" about the performance and said it was her best dance so far. Bruno said he always knew there was a "tough broad" under Susan's polished appearance. Scores: 8, 8, and 8. Total: 45.
Broke & Derek: With her tensions with partner Derek Hough behind her, and the first "10" of the season in her pocket, Brooke Burke looked to take on the samba. Len said that Brooke had set such a high standard for herself, but he was a bit disappointed with some of it. Bruno called her "a sex bomb" and called it "raunchy with a capital ERRRRRRR!" He said he needed a smoke. Carrie Ann said she was a perfect candidate to go on and win the whole thing. Scores: 9, 8 and 9, from Carrie Ann, Len, and Bruno, respectively. Total: 54.
Lance & Lacey: Last week, they tried to appease Len by going more traditional, but Bruno and Carrie Ann didn't like it so much. So they had to mix things up with their tango this week. Bruno loved it, saying Lance was starting to emerge as a leading man. Carrie Ann said Lance had kind of disappeared but "tonight was amazing." Len called him "Sir Dance-a-Lot." Scores: 9, 8, and 9, from Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno, respectively. Total: 48.
Warren & Kym: Coming off his best score of the season, ex-NFL star Warren Sapp looked to represent himself in the samba. His partner Kym Johnson took him on a field trip to try to capoeira, a Brazilian form of martial arts that would show him some regional movements he could use in his samba. Carrie Ann said it was lacking a bit of content. Len agreed there was too much gyrating with Kym dancing around him. Bruno called him a crowd pleaser, but said Warren "took it a little too easy." He said he has everything necessary to blow them away, but he didn't do it. Scores: 8, 7, and 7, from Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno, respectively. Total: 47.
