Tonight was Latin night on Dancing With the Stars. The dancers had to perform either the Rumba or the Samba. One is hot, slow and romantic, the other is red-hot and lively. It was a lot of fun to see another side of some of the dancers.
Here’s the rundown of tonight’s performances:

| Rumba | Mark Dacascos & Lacey Schwimmer - Yes, my crush on Mark is still intact…I thought he did a great job!! He is so smooth and his movements seemed to really flow. |

| Samba | Joanna Krupa & Derek Hough – To me, this time Derek was doing all the showboating and Joanna didn’t get any of the interesting moves. She is graceful, but I wasn’t as impressed as I could have been. |

| Rumba | Louie Vito & Chelsie Hightower - He didn’t do any tough moves, but the moves he did perform were really smooth and right on target! It was finally a great job from Louie. |

| Samba | Debi Mazar & Maksim Chmerkovskiy - She was better than last week, but a bit reserved for my taste. She just doesn’t let go and have fun with it. |

| Rumba | Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson - He did a good job with it, but there was part of his demeanor that looked like the wasn’t that comfortable with the dance style. |

| Samba | Michael Irvin & Anna Demidova - He did a fair job of it, but lost the beat a few times and looked very reserved. He needs to loosen up and have fun more too. |

| Rumba | Natalie Coughlin & Alec Mazo - She was wonderful! But she did tend to look him in the chin, rather than the eyes. She should learn that the eye contact is the most fun part of a dance! But it was great! |

| Samba | Chuck Liddell & Anna Trebunskaya - He started off rough, but got better as he got into it. He does still need to loosen up, but he did a very decent job of it. |

| Rumba | Aaron Carter & Karina Smirnoff - He lost his footing a time or two and just didn’t have the romantic feel. He does a good job with the moves, though. |

| Samba | Tom Delay & Cheryl Burke - In spite of a stress fracture in both feet, he decided to perform anyway. He did a valiant job dancing it, but it was very clear that he was in pain. He held back a lot, but it was understandable. |
