Salsa. Scored 31 points and finished =2nd in this part of the night. I thought this was good, not their best but still good.
What is up with Paul? Lowballing but much ... for weeks now. No more shocked looks at Mark (see when results are handed out) Paul for rewarding Bridie fairly. After Hobo's supremely ridiculous 10 in Disco, it truly is a case of the pot calling the kettle black ... not to mention your 9 for the Hobo Tango tonight when he fell over his feet more than once ... tut tut! :P I wonder who he will side with now his fave has departed! :P

Paso Doble. Scored 35 points and finished =1st. Of course she survived elimination again.
This is a great routine! :) It's quite funny watching this show because the longer the celebs are in it, the more they seem to want to win and want to do well. You could tell Bridie was pretty darn happy to see those 9's come up. Personally I was disappointed with Helen. I had her pegged for a McLeod's tragic and was sure Bridie would get at least straight 9's for this set! Come on Helen! :P
Just have to add that Craig Monley is a great dancer! ... not that I am in any way qualified to make such a statement. He has been fabulous every week though. I think definitely one of the best professionals the show has ever had. (at l...
