This week's episode of Dancing With The Stars was really shocking. It was the week before the semi-finals so the judges were extra tough with their critiques. Alek has been the underdog in the competition for a long time, and I thought it was time he went home--yet he didn't. Alexa and her husband Carlos were both in jeopardy! Everyone was shocked, including Alexa and Carlos. They were both crying uncontrollably before the show announced who would be leaving. Sadly Alexa was eliminated. I think of the two couples in jeopardy, the right couple went home. Alexa was very upset, but you could tell that Carlos felt really bad. You could hear him whisper to Alexa when her name was called for being eliminated, "I wish it was me." It was so sweet. Alexa had great appreciation. In her speech before she left the ballroom she said that she left in the best way.  She also said that she had such a great time on the show and that she's glad she did this with her husband. I'm curious to see whether Alexa will be in the audience at the next episode routing for Carlos. This episode was definitely the most heart-warming episode yet.

This week on Dancing With The Stars many important things happened. Erin Andrews returned to the ballroom as her place as host and Nick Carter announced that he and  his wife are having a baby boy. Nick also received immunity for getting a perfect score. He deserved it. His dance was a beautiful contemporary piece, which he dedicated to his wife. Bindi and Derek danced a fun and energetic foxtrot. It was very amusing to watch, but it definitely was not her best dance. Carlos danced a salsa with his partner Whitney. They received a trio of 9s. I was disappointed that my favorite competitors did not do as well as I hoped. The second round of dances were "dance offs". Each couple chose another couple to dance with. For example, Tamar and Val verses Alexa and Mark. They danced a cha cha. I liked both dances, but Alexa's was better. Alexa won that round giving her extra points to her overall night score. Andy Grammer got sent home. I thought Alek should have gotten eliminated, but I thought the choice was fair. Next week there will be dance duets, which I am really excited about. Hopefully next week's episode is better than ever.
