Dancing With The Stars: Recap For May 20, 2013

Details

Written by Sammi

The show opens with a fun pro dance choreographed by Sasha.

Val is injured and bleeding, but will still compete tonight.

Jacoby and Karina
Dance: Jive
Commentary: Len is on hand to help out and offer advice. He also is taught the football dance.

This jive is miles better than his original. He seems more confident, is having more fun and the footwork advice Len gave him really paid off! He listened, took the advice and just did fabulous!
Len: There was improvement, but he did get a bit overexcited and it made him lose it a bit. Great entertainment and enthusiasm.
Bruno: Charisma, energy, brilliance, a Lord of the Rings reference and advice on where to improve.
Carrie Ann: Exciting, but gives advice about the footwork.
Scores: 9-9-9=27 out of 30.

Aly and Mark
Dance: Samba
Commentary: Bruno is helping them with their dance. There is not only a lot of improvement in her dancing, but she is really showing off her personality tonight. She is definitely in it to win it.
Bruno: Cleaner and crisper than ever. He loves it.
Carrie Ann: She is the combination of everyone on the show.
Len: He saw a lot of improvement  and it was terrific.
Scores: 9-9-10=28 out of 30.

Kellie and Derek
Dance: Quickstep
Commentary: Len is helping them as well. He seems like he would be a fun teacher.

As for the dance, I love the black and white beginning and how it went into color. It is flawless, beautiful and entertaining. I am sensing there will be tens in their future.
Len: It was excitement and like a stamp on a letter.
Bruno: She is the Southern Belle of the ball.
Carrie Ann: She had the contact she was looking for.
Scores: PERFECT SCORE!!!!

Zandeya and Val
Dance: Samba
Commentary: Carrie Ann offers her advice to make it better this time around.

There is something different about the dance. It is slower than most sambas, but technical wise, it is amazing. It is one of the best sambas ever seen on the show.
Carrie Ann: She lost nothing and it was absolutely great and magical.
Len: He loves it!
Bruno: He loves the technique and compares her to a professional.
Scores: PERFECT SCORE!!!!

Cha cha cha round. Each couple will be ranked based on how well they do and will be awarded points. Fourth place gets two points third three points and so on and so forth. It is fun to watch, but these dances annoy me  because it is hard to focus on each couple since they have such short solos.
Len: They are all winners.
Bruno: The magnificent four. He loves all of them.
Carrie Ann: She has nothing but good things to say about all of them.

4th: Jacoby and Karina
3rd: Aly and Mark
2nd: Kellie and Derek
1st: Zendaya and Val


Freestyle round!

Jacoby and Karina
Commentary: I like the Mardi Gras theme. I also like how it is one big party and they even have some kids involved. So cute, so much fun and really showcases his personality.
Len:  Great energy, well done!
Bruno: It was like watching a parade but the energy made him lose timing. It was a joyful experience.
Carrie Ann: It was unique, but it outshined him. He kind of got lost in the shuffle.
Scores: 9-9-9=27 out of 30

Tom gives a touching tribute, as well as his thoughts and prayers to those impacted by the tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Aly and Mark
Commentary: Pole dancing? Okay then! I love how she incorporated everything she learned, pole dancing and her gymnastics into one big routine. It was fun, unique and unexpected. LOVE IT!
Bruno: They took a risk and they did it.
Carrie Ann: It was one of the most amazing routines she's seen. Also brings her back to her days on a pole.
Len: Alexandra the great!
Scores: PERFECT SCORE!

Kellie and Derek
Commentary:  WOW….that was WOW….beautiful, emotional….and just brought me to tears. This may have surpassed Drew and Cheryl's freestyle as my favorite of all time.
Carrie Ann: She tearfully says she bared her soul.
Len: He stood up and tells her how much he loves it.
Bruno: She reached a nation with that performance.
Scores: PERFECT SCORE

Zendaya and Val
Commentary: I like how they combine everything she has learned into their dance. The kids are adorable as well. It just seems to all flow together beautifully. The ending with the kids is priceless.
