Barb Hickey
In the seventh week of Dancing With The Stars, the Bachelor's Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani received the best score of the night, a 29, for their Argentine Tango. Len thought it was fantastic and thought the lifts and intricate steps were executed flawlessly. Bruno said, "Your legs are the magic tools in the hands of the master." Carrie Ann said it was the best Argentine Tango she has even seen on the show. In second place are Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas who received a 28 for their energetic Cha Cha Cha. Carrie Ann loved it and thought her technique was flawless and said she really worked it. Len thought the rhythm was sharp and it was well done. Bruno said, "Technically flawless. You remind me of a young Debbie Reynolds. You really got into to it tonight." Tied for third with 27 are Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough and Giles Marini and Cheryl Burke. Chuck and Julianne performed an exciting Samba. Len thought it was Chuck's best performance to date. Bruno said, "You must want it so badly." And, Carrie Ann gave them a standing ovation. Giles and Cheryl performed the Viennese Waltz. Len enjoyed the romance and thought they did a superb job. Carrie Ann said he is the most graceful male dancer she has ever seen. And, Bruno said, "It was like watching Gi Gi. It was glamorous."

Derek Hough and Lil' Kim are in fifth place after receiving a 26 for tame Rumba. Carrie Ann thought it was understated and under whelming. Len loved it, but said she needs to do what she does best and not worry about pleasing him. Bruno said, "It was like a good margarita without the tequila. Bring back the raunch." Ty Murray and Chelsea Hightower are in sixth place with 24 for the beautiful Waltz. Len thought it was spot on and well done. Carrie said he has a beautiful frame and she is glad her dancer is back. Bruno said, "This was a bigger comeback than Mickey Rourke. Well done."

Finally, Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska are in last place with a 21 for their Waltz. Len thought he captured the grace of the dance. Carrie Ann she liked the freedom of his movements. And, Bruno said, "You got the romance right, but it was a little clumsy. Not terrible. Not brilliant." The dancers also had a chance to perform their first group routine set to a 60s theme with individual solos and partner routines. Tune in tomorrow night at 9:00 PM EST on ABC for the live results show.

    I want Melissa Rycroft to win so much. I vote for her several times each week, because she deserves it. She's sort of like America's sweetheart right now. Many of us was with her on her journey for love with confused and stupid Jason, and now it's so refreshing to see Melissa shine each and every week. She's a beautiful girl and a talented dancer. She deserves that mirrored ball trophy. Let's give it to her!
