Dancing With The Stars Season 6 will officially be half way done tonight. The number of couples will have been cut from the original twelve to six tonight. Here were that standings after last night’s performances:

Judges Leader Board
Kristi & Mark: 30
Mario & Karina: 28
Cristian & Cheryl: 27
Marissa & Tony: 26
Jason & Edyta: 24
Shannon & Derek: 24
Marlee & Fabian: 21

Judge’s Encore: Group Performance
I thought that was a bit of a cop out. I didn’t think that group performance was that great. It certainly wasn’t tonight when they performed it again. There were tons of mistakes when they did the encore tonight.

Here are the couples who will be back next week in the order they were announced:

1. Shannon & Derek
2. Marissa & Tony
3. Cristian & Cheryl
4. Kristi & Mark
5. Jason & Edyta

This weeks bottom two couples:

1. Marlee & Fabian
2. Mario & Karina

Going Home This Week:


Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez

I was surprised. Not by who was going home. Marlee & Fabian deserved to go home this week. I was more surprised by who was in the bottom two with them. Mario & Karina have been pretty strong this season. They are obviously going to have to step it up next week. While I think they deserved to go home, I really thought that they would have gotten more of a sympathy vote from the fans. Apparently I did not give America enough credit. America got it right this time. I’m already looking forward to next weeks performances.
