I love Disney night!!! Charity, Jason and Ariana are my Top 3.

What in the world is this opening number? Obviously something I don't know.

I missed the opening, but caught Mauricio with his paso doble. The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Not the best song for this. He is doing the steps, but it all feels so stiff...7,6,6

Mira is doing the waltz... Something that she should be perfectly suited to. She looks so much more comfortable with this dance and it looks more fluid than usual. Very positive praise from the judges and she admits that this is the first time she enjoyed the dance...7,7,7.

Barry Williams is next with Jazz. Says this is the type of dance that he is the most familiar with. He's a Tramp. He is forgetting the steps. It's awkward. Meanwhile, CA says this is the best dance so far. I don't think so...6,6,6. They were too generous.

Jason is doing the foxtrot. This is his worst dance for me. He looked stiff and there was a misstep in there. I hate the fog trying to hide the feet...8,8,8. I think he was over scored.

Lele is up next with the rumba. They say that is one of the hardest dances. She has nice lines and is pretty fluid. Well done. CA...shut up. She totally messed up Derek and he didn't get to do his critique which is much more helpful...7,7,8.

Alyson is next and will be doing Jazz. I think this was her best dance. She actually looked as if she was enjoying herself. 6,6,6.

Harry next up with quickstep. He shares a story about a friend of his who passed away and that he would have loved this. He actually did very well. Still heavy on his feet, but he did all the steps and moved pretty fast. His best dance! He is very complimentary to his partner and looks so greatful for the positive responses from the judges...7,7,7. I like him. He seems pretty sweet.

Xochi is doing the paso doble. The best dance of the night. She is so good. Lots of steps across the whole floor and so fluid and fast. She better be scored really well...9,9,9.

Ariana is doing contemporary. She did well. She will get good scores for that. CA...is full of it. She always criticizes the women and gushes at the guys...8,9,8.

Charity is next doing a waltz as the Little Mermaid. It was nice. It seemed very quick...a little too much messing around at the start. She has nice lines and is very graceful, but I just find something missing in her dances. IMO it is missing that passion. She seems too controlled if that makes sense.

Let's see who goes home...Greg, Adrian or Lele...Adrian. I am not shocked that he is out based on his dancing, but he is a football player and I thought football fans would keep him in longer. Oh well.

Charity is always looking for the camera .. I agree about something missing as well
