Dancing with the Stars

How could this happen? Menounos usually gets the highest votes each week AND she topped the leader board during Monday night’s performances.
I guess making out with your partner can only save you for so long.

An All-star edition of the ABC dancing hit series is official. And the internet is exploding opinions of which 12 dancers should return for the epic dance-off.
Some of the “DWTS” stars are even weighing in with their opinions.

Last night’s semifinals brought out the best performances from the remaining DWTS contestants: Donald Driver, Katherine Jenkins, William Levy and Maria Menounos.
However, it was Katherine Jenkins who stole the show. Not necessarily because she had the best performance, but because she provided last night’s injury quota.

The show kicked off with an encore performance of the trio dance, with threesome Donald Driver, Peta Murgatroyd, and Karina Smirnoff jiving once more. Then Donald and partner Peta learned they were safe from elimination, but Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas were in jeopardy.

To remain in the competition, they would have to excel at two full dances: an individual ballroom and, for the first time in the show’s history, a dance trio.

Would it finally be curtains for Gladys? Or would the “Empress of Soul” triumph against her much younger competitor to dance another week? (Spoilers ahead!)

Monday brought out the Motown! An inspired Jaleel and his partner Kym Johnson danced a cha cha to "Ain't Too Proud to Beg!” that earned them 29 points. No begging necessary. "That was the biggest sizzler of the season," declared Bruno Tonioli.
