My roommate and I jumped up and down when we saw Brian! Hopefully he's there to do something, maybe a pro dance tonight.

Just as I predicted in another thread, someone doing an AT had to do the rose in the teeth thing. Ugh.

Yeah, thanks Lilli to let us know, yeah I spotted Brian and I think the blonde next to him is Kristina

For those of you who are missing Maks he has been hired as the correspondant for DWTS on the show ET. He will be doing backstage interviews with the dancers and pros. It will certainly be interesting to see this side of him. We will have to score him on his presenting skills.

I am sure those videos will be up tomorrow.

I'll post all the links as they appear!

Can you watch this on Uk tv anywhere?

Yes, it is on Watch at 9.00 pm on a Friday night (and it is repeated on a Saturday morning).

Interview with Tom Bergeron

Oh I don't know if I have that channel

I've stopped watching it on TV and just watch the links that Force Ten gives us each week - no ad breaks that way!

That's a great interview - I'm liking Tom a lot more this season!

Slight disaster this week - DWTSSeason8 has apologised but her video file is corrupted so no clips from her. However, I have found another source who is uploading some good quality clips so here they are:

Chuck & Julianne - Viennese Waltz

Lawrence & Edyta - Paso Doble

Shawn & Mark - Viennese Waltz

Melissa & Tony - Paso Doble

David & Kim - Viennese Waltz

Gilles & Cheryl - Paso Doble

Steve-O & Lacey - Viennese Waltz

Ty & Chelsie - Paso Doble

Lil' Kim & Derek - Viennese Waltz

Thanks to DanceWTS1

The Steve-O clip is from watchdwts - he scored 18.

Thank you Force ten for getting these links so quickly for us, even having to search elsewhere for them, your a STAR

Gilles & Cheryl - WOW!

Can't take my eyes off Gilles...for me the best "kill" Paso Doble step ever done to date.

Thanks again FT.

PS hope they bring out a dvd of all their dances after the series.

I must say the hairs on the back of my neck rose up when I first watched the Gilles & Cheryl Paso. And I don't mind the bare chest at all!!!!! Not keen on the music though.

Thanks for the links FT!

DanceWTS1 has also put up this link for Steve-O and Lacey which doesn't have the orange bits added.

Best Paso for me - Gilles & Cheryl by miles (saw the appeal of Gilles this week )
Best VW for me - Lil Kim & Derek

As dwts is my favourite Friday night viewing, I have avoided looking at all the clips, but couldn't resist a look at Gilles paso. He is somewhat gorgeous, isn't he? I thought at first that he was very arrogant, but I think that is just his "Frenchness" (hope that isn't a pc blunder!)

But to get back to the dance; yay, it was fantastic, and can see why it lit up the studio so much - it was just so full of power and passion, very exciting to watch. But can see where a dance-purist like Len might find a few parts of it a tad manic though, on a purely technical way I tend to agree with him - but I still loved every second!

In case they don't bring out a dvd, can't you download the you tube clips? I think it can be done (though I've still not managed to work out how!)

If I want to download a clip I use a little programme from this website - it is guaranteed spy ware and ad ware free.

Thanks BBTN. At the time I was posting the clips, the Steve-O clip hadn't been uploaded by DanceWTS1.

How could they have Brian sitting there doing nothing last week, and yet this week my retinas must be burned with the image of Benji Schwimmer? : )

I'm sure you all will hate this, but I voted for Steve-O as many times as I could. He deserved better scores. I know I'm not the only one.

I think he was slightly undermarked yes. I don't think Ben and Bruno like Lacey! But I do think the wrong one went out of the bottom two. (I'm being careful not say who went in case people want to wait until Friday to watch it.)
