[QUOTE]Originally posted by Erbo: [QB] [i]...Week 10, Part 2 continued...[/i] And now, we start the retrospectives...the first one was of Weeks 1 through 3, followed by a dance number with Metta World Peace, Peta Murgatroyd, Elisabetta Canalis, and Valentin Chmerkovskiy. After that, Kristin Cavalarri and Mark Ballas returned to the floor with a new routine of their own! Chynna Phillips and Tony Dovolani got a "retry" of their [i]Mission: Impossible[/i] dance, hoping to avoid Chynna's "brain freeze" on the floor that cost her a slot in the competition going forward. (Sadly, it did not include Mark's wire work descending from the ceiling.) But yeah, she nailed it this time, and it was much better! Carson Kressley had a dream...he always wanted to do a dance routine to Madonna's "Vogue." Well, with the redoubtable Anna Trebunskaya, he got his wish...including side boys Teddy Volynets and Valentin Chmerkovskiy (!), and a couple of other dancing girls from the Troupe! That routine was...well, if you look up "campy" in the dictionary, that routine would be sitting right there! It was wish-fulfillment for Carson in a big way, and I [i]loved[/i] it! (It's probably already gone viral. Look for it on YouTube.) Part 2 of the retrospective covered Weeks 4 through 6, followed by Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus dancing again to "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life." (Geek Alert! :geek: ) And Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer danced a new routine...accompanied by Lacey's father, Buddy Schwimmer, who proved, with Chaz, that big guys [i]can[/i] move! (Chaz has been in the audience to support the rest of the cast members ever since he was voted out. Good man.) David Arquette and Kym Johnson reprised their "We Go Together" dance, this time, with help from the New Mutants! (David tried to sneak off with the Cheesy Disco Ball Trophy! Fortunately, he was caught by Tom and the judges...) And Lady Antebellum got back onstage to perform their hit "Need You Now," accompanying our Troupers. The last part of the retrospective covered Weeks 7 through 9, and Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy did their quickstep again in a "no hard feelings" dance. They did it better, even if Hope did accidentally kick one of the spotlights at the side of the stage! But wait...in the words of the late, great Steve Jobs..."one more thing"... [i]ROUND FOUR: INSTANT SAMBA!!![/i] Samba: the most difficult of the Latin dances. The music is "Shake Your Bon-Bon." And both couples remaining had to quickly rehearse and scrape together a routine backstage! They performed in quick succession, one after the other. [b]J.R. and Karina[/b] showed off J.R.'s Latin heritage with their hip action, and did a routine that was great fun; [b]Rob and Cheryl[/b] proved that [i]he[/i] could move it, too, and attack the dance with finesse. Both of the celebrities would, in my opinion, be able to hold their heads high among any competitive dancers in this country. Len rarely does what he did: gave them both a standing ovation. "Well done!" Bruno noted that J.R. "can turn it on at will! You just bring it, and they all love you!" while telling Rob, "You really know how to use your bon-bon!" (Yeah, he would know.) "You were over the rainbow last week; this week, you're in orbit!" Carrie-Ann just said, "Both of you are winners! Both of you went for it!" [b]Scores:[/b] [b]J.R. and Karina: CAI 10, LG 10, BT 10, PERFECT THIRTY!!![/b] (Sixth of the season; fourth for J.R.!) [b]Rob and Cheryl: CAI 10, LG 10, BT 10, PERFECT THIRTY!!![/b] (Seventh of the season; second for Rob!) Final scores for Week 10: J.R. and Karina 112, Rob and Cheryl 113. BUT! As I've said before, the judges propose, the viewers dispose! So back to the ABC supercomputer we go, to include these scores as a factor... And now! The moment you've all been waiting for! The winner, and new Champion... Of [i]Dancing With the Stars[/i]... Season Lucky 13... [i]IS...[/i] ... [i][b]J.R. AND KARINA!!!!![/b][/i] :clapclap: Quite frankly, though, [i]both[/i] couples felt like winners. Certainly, Rob was not disappointed in the least! And well he should not be! I think the future is looking bright for him. Meanwhile, in a crowd of bodies on the floor, Karina, first-time pro winner, is hoisted to Mark's shoulders...while J.R., war hero turned dance hero, is lifted by Derek, as he holds high the honor even rarer than the Congressional Medal of Honor...[i]THE CHEESY DISCO BALL TROPHY!!![/i] And so comes to a close Season Lucky 13 of [i]Dancing With the Stars[/i]. But all is not lost, dance fans...return on March 19, 2012, as Season [i]14[/i] gets underway, with a new cast, new dances, and a new round of Quick Hits! This is Erbo, saying, peace out, [i]GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY![/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
