Dancing with the Stars, April 7 - Giles Marini Receives the Best Score of the Night

For the second week in a row, Giles Marini and his partner, Cheryl Burke, received the best score of the night, a 29. Last week, Giles and Cheryl received perfect score of 30 for their Tango. This week they performed the Viennese Waltz. Carrie Ann gave them a 10 and called their performance breathtaking and said it showed the core and essence of the dance. Bruno also gave them a 10 and said, "Giles you are going in for the kill. You nailed it." Len gave them a 9 and said the performance was passionate, but hectic.

There is a two-way tie for second place. Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas received a 26 for their Viennese Waltz. Carrie Ann thought it was simplistic and beautiful. Len thought it showed romance but cautioned Shawn to watch her footwork. Bruno said, "It was sweetness and light and pretty as a picture." Lil Kim and Derek also received a 26 for their Viennese Waltz. Carrie Ann said they brought every moment to life and felt they are perfectly matched for each other and Bruno agreed that they were in complete harmony with each other. Len enjoyed the musicality of the dance. In fourth place are Melissa and Tony who received a 25 for their Paso Doble performance. All three judges thought the choreography was dynamic but Melissa made some small mistakes throughout the routine.

Once again, at the bottom of the leader board, are Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer who received their best score of the competition, an 18, for their Viennese Waltz. Len told Steve-O it was his best dance so far. Bruno said his timing was on and he is moving in the right direction. Carrie Ann liked his emotional quality and asked him to work on his posture. In second to last place are Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska who received a 20 for their Paso Doble performance. Bruno felt Lawrence started out like a brick of granite, but the performance got much better. Carrie Ann felt he had a limited range of motion, but he worked well with the music. Len liked the intensity and thought his performance was much better than last week.

After tonight's performances, Chuck Wicks, Melissa Rycroft, David Allen Greir and Ty Murray are in the middle of the pack. Tune in live tomorrow at 9:00 EST on ABC for the results show. Etta James and Disney's Demi Lovato are scheduled to perform.
