Last night, there was passion! And drama! And unicycles! And tonight, for the first time, the bottom two will be revealed.
Sheryl Crow is in the house to perform "All I Wanna Do" (which Tom calls "All Ya Wanna Do") while Tony and Edyta and Fabian and Kym dance. I feel like the professional dance is...not the best. It seems ragged, and Edyta in particular looks like she doesn't know what she's doing.
As we recap last night's performances, we learn that Fabian plans to work the bum, that Jason is thrilled with his high scores, and Julianne yells "Screw the judges!" which Adam thinks she might consider to get them higher scores.
So who gets the encore performance? Seriously, you will never guess. Try. No, you're wrong. It's Adam and Julianne. No, I'm not kidding. Ooh, they do a lift in their encore, but I guess it doesn't count against them now. Julianne looks like she's grimly determined to get through the routine -- she doesn't seem like she's having as much fun as usual. I wonder if they were chosen because they're leaving tonight? We'll find out soon enough.
Backstage, Samantha asks Marissa how she felt about her scores. Marissa was thrilled that she met the judges' challenge. Tony thinks Marissa is a daredevil, and he wants to continue to challenge her. Samantha then asks Derek and Shannon about their chemistry. Showmance! Shannon jokes that if they got the encore, they would have actually kissed at the end. Samantha quickly points out that even though Derek and Shannon haven't danced tonight, he is covered in her glitter. Scandal!
Let's find out about some safe couples, shall we? The first safe couple is...Jason and Edyta. Also moving on will be...Kristi and Mark. Surprise! Although they have to get them out of the way first or there's no suspense.
Now it's time for little kids! The first couple are nine and eight years old. I think I was still wearing diapers at that age. Anyway, they are adorable and they are doing the samba. It's a little freaky seeing little kids dance like professionals, but they are not perfect enough that they don't look like little robots. The judges are predictably nice to them, because like they're going to be mean.
The second couple are both eight years old. The little boy has a giant head. So do I, so I can relate. They're doing the paso doble, and it's a little weirder to see a little boy pretending to be all macho, especially when he doesn't have any chest muscles to puff out. The judges are nice to them too. Backstage, Samantha chats the kids up and...wait, they're really going to pick one of the kid couples over the other? This is so wrong! I'm boycotting the kiddy competition. Why can't they just perform for the joy of dancing? Bleh.
Sheryl Crow is back to perform her new song. I was going to say something about Sheryl Crow hitting a career low, but then I remembered when she did the private concert for the houseguests of Big Brother back in Season 3. Then I remember that I watched it. Anyway, the 2006 World Cup Professional Latin Champions are there to dance to the song. They couldn't get the 2007 or 2008 champs? What, are they too busy?
Then there's a clip package about how the professionals put together the dances while the singers perform. They usually have about four days, and only about two hours of rehearsal. Last week, when Derek got hurt, Mark had forty-five minutes to learn the new routine. Damn, I'm sorry that I said mean things about that routine. Kylie Minogue and the Jonas Brothers both loved watching the dancers while they sang. Louis concludes that they're proud to show America what they can do.
Let's talk about some more safe couples. The couple we'll be seeing week is...Marlee and Fabian. Marlee is psyched -- she clearly thought she might be in trouble.
Backstage, Samantha is talking to Kristi and Jason with their partners. Kristi thinks that Jason has always been a threat to her, and she admires him. Jason compares Kristi to the lead horse in a race, and she's got a big lead, but she's still in sight. Except he talks about her butt, which is kind of weird, but also funny.
Who will join those two week? The safe couple is...Christian and Cheryl. Cheryl grabs onto Christian like he's about to float away. Also joining them is...Mario and Karina. Karina and her boobs are psyched.
Shannon looks like she's about to puke as they reveal the bottom two. Priscilla and Louis are in the bottom two, and in the red light. The audience is totally silent. Shannon and Derek are safe. Applause, finally. That was scary. Adam and Julianne are in the bottom two, which means that Marissa and Tony are safe. Oh, thank God. I thought Marissa and Shannon both were going to have nervous breakdowns.
Tom asks Len what they lose if Adam goes home. Len thinks they lose fun and entertainment and unpredictability. Adam has a LOT of mascara, and I'm not talking about his fake moustache. Bruno says that if Priscilla goes, they lose Hollywood glamour. Carrie Ann is left with the tough decision. She'd like to see if Julianne can turn Adam into a good dancer, but she admits that Priscilla is the better dancer. So who's going home? Adam and Julianne.

They get a standing ovation. Aw, Adam's wife Lynnette is crying. Adam says he lost twenty pounds of fat and he gained a hundred pounds of angel. Julianne is touched, and Adam gets a plug in for his movie. Adam claims that everyone has something that they fear, and we at home should find our fear and face it and embrace it, which I think is a nice message. Aw, I'm sad. Well, I can still listen to the podcasts of Adam's radio show. And if he had stayed much longer, people would have started to get angry when better dancers were getting eliminated ahead of him, so it's probably for the best.
