Dancing with the Stars-THE RESULTS and the 100 the Episode

LIVE BLOGGING

Lucky me,(groan) I am switching channels as I watched American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.

Tonight, the Dancing with the Stars is celebrating the 100th episode aside from announcing the result for last night's elimination round.

It started at eight o' clock rather than its usual time of nine ET.

I found out that the first hour was spent on judges' countdown of their favorite dances. Video clips of the past five seasons were presented and reviewed. Yey, I can skip them and go to American Idol.

It all came down to one favorite dance fo the judges. The choice was not even a winner. He is Mario Lopez of Season 3, whose partner Karina Smirnoff became his girl friend. The dance was tango. It was dubbed as perfect tango.

The second hour was the real celebration attended by former dance contestants.

The first to perform are the Season 4 winners, Julianne Hough and Apolo Ohno aided by Rascal Platts.

Short interviews were made by Tom to the past dancing professionals and celebrities who graced the show's past episodes. I saw Lisa Rinna, Jerry Springer and Joey Fatone. I did not recognize Vivica Fox. Nahh, George Hamilton was not there. Someone said that he's busy.

Season three runner up, Mario Lopez was not only there as a guest but he also performed along with the Broadway, Chorus Line.

A slim Mel B also performed with Maksim.

APOLO OHNO When asked of his opinion as to who is going to win, he admitted that he was biased to the two athletes, Kristi and Jason. But of course.

Drew Lachey on the other hand picked her former partner Cheryl and Cristian. But of course.

The result

There was not much time left so the dancers were spared from long suspense.

The night's big surprise was the announcement that Marissa and Toni were safe.

Why is it a big surprise? Because they are at the bottom of the leader board and the judges were not too generous with their comments.

The next declared safe are Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark. It is but expected.

The next whose names were called as safe Cristian and Cheryl which leaves Jason Taylor and Mario at the bottom two.

Then the last announcement...the partners who are safe are Jason Taylor and Edyta.

So Karina and Mario are leaving tonight.

Before dancing their last dance, Mario thanked the judges and mentioned about the young people fighting in the war.
