Episode Report Card Kim: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT How Am I Supposed to Lift Without You?

Brooke the Investigative Journalist returns with footage from last night. It seems that people booed after Derek and Jennifer's scores were announced. And the EVIL PRESS reported that people were booing Sarah Palin. BUT! They have some raw, unedited footage to show us what really happened. Why is it unedited? They had time to edit it. Anyway, what we see is the three judges giving their scores, and then people start booing. The judges certainly react as if they are being booed. And you do hear a few people in the crowd yelling out, "Nine! Nine!" And the booing starts before Tom even moves across the stage to sit next to Sarah. So, fine. Unless you want to get into grand level conspiracy theories about how ABC fudged the footage, I'll buy it. And who cares? I was also wondering how the audience would even know that Tom was sitting next to Sarah Palin so that they COULD boo when she wasn't even on screen yet. If they can even see what's being shown on screen. Other than the few people sitting around her, no one would know who Tom was going to talk to, and thus wouldn't be able to boo or cheer. The whole thing is just dumb. Let's drop it.
While Tom was introducing the next segment, the judges clearly did something wacky, because Karina put her hands over her mouth and everyone else laughed while looking toward the judges. I DEMAND THE SECRET FOOTAGE! Anyway, it's time to find out the fates of a few more stars. Last night, Len told Florence that she'll be back next week. The Situation was happy to improve from last week, score-wise. Bristol's mom called her "Bristol the Pistol." So who's safe and who's still in jeopardy? Florence and Corky are safe. So are Bristol and Mark. But The Situation and Karina are still in jeopardy.
Why do they keep calling last week a "surprising elimination"? Maybe The Hoff was surprised, but no one else was. Now they're going to talk about the frontrunners. Tony promised Audrina that he would wax his legs if they didn't get three 8s, and then Bruno gave them a 7. Jennifer got the highest scores of the night for her jive and kind of looked like she was going to collapse. So are both of these couples safe? Audrina and Tony are safe. Jennifer and Derek are also safe. Well, no surprise there. I'm glad they didn't try to drag it out with those two couples, because come on. If either of them were going home, we would have been hearing about "a shocking elimination."
Clip package about the rituals that the dancers go through. Karina does a routine before every dance. Derek wears two pairs of socks. Corky goes and smells the dance floor. No, he really does. Tony and Maks throw a football. Cheryl uses hand sanitizer as deodorant. WTF? Louis eats chocolate cake. Mark plays guitar. Lacey's mom (who looks like a scary witch, I'm sorry) brings her daughter chocolate chip cookies. Some of them have rituals with their celebrities too, but those are all pretty boring and nowhere near as weird as Corky smelling the floor or Cheryl using hand sanitizer (or as my nephew ingeniously puts it, "hand-itizer") under her arms.
