Dancing With the Stars -- Performances & The Boot 6 & 7

Here's a combination one from last week and this week.
Last week (Performance & Boot #6) was producers taking a trip on bad 70's drug left-overs. How so? Did you hear the music they picked for the celebrity teams? Awful. Quicksteps and waltzes to gaudy 70's songs. Blech! I mean really bad cheesy stuff. At least the dancing was good for the most part. It figures that Damian and Pamela had a song that wasn't from the 70's because they were the ones sent home.
Do I have to say that Nicole and Derek wiped the dance floor clean of the competition? Maybe I do. Yes, Nicole and Derek continued to outshine. Evan's superhero hair attacked the tango brilliantly -- sharp and aggressive. It was refreshing to see that side of him. It must've been something with the superhero hair because Evan and Anna got the first set of perfect scores for the season. Go, go superhero hair! Even though I was getting a bit frustrated that Len kept holding back on the 10's for Nicole and Derek, I am glad Evan & Anna got awesome scores.
There was also a group challenge -- Teams Gaga and Madonna had to do a cha cha challenge.Team Gaga (Nicole, Chad, Pamela and their partners) beat out Team Madonna.
However, despite Team Gaga helping Chad and Pamela with the scores, Pamela ended up going home on results night.
This week, it was a lot easier to determine who should really be in the bottom two. It's not that the bottom two suck, but they unfortunately don't have the same flow and skill level to take it any further. Each duo had to dance twice -- no leaning on group performances this time around.
Len finally gave Nicole & Derek a well deserved 10 to their second performance -- a 50's inspired paso doble -- helping them to get their perfect scores for the first time this season ... finally! Can I hear a "woop! woop!"?
If Chad's partner was Edyta, she would've been wearing a tiny strap of fabric this week. He's alright, but with all due respect, compared to some of the other competitors, he just doesn't fit. Not to mention, the man makes no sense when he's all excited. He sounds like a boxer after he's been hit one too many times and just ends up smiling and speaking jibberish. Even Niecy's antics and jiggly parts beat Chad in judges' scores. Sadly, Niecy's jiggly parts were voted off in the end.
Maybe Chad sent out some diamond rings and necklaces to some select audience members to juice up his votes?
Next week is the semi-finals. Until then ...
