Melissa and Tony were invited back to dance their perfect 30 scoring Samba. And, this time, Melissa’s boob stayed tucked away.

The first safe couple is Gilles and Cheryl, followed by Melissa and Tony.

This week the new wannabe pros were paired with a previous star to see if they can teach as well as they can dance.

Shawn and Mark started the night with their Quick Step. First of all, we love that they danced to Robin Williams’ song from Aladdin, “Friend Like Me.” We were having major high school flashbacks. The dance was everything you’d want from a Quick Step; it was perky, ebullient and energetic. “That was fun, joyful, carefree,” Len began. “You danced like Sporty Spice…Great job,” Bruno cheered. “Your best dance EVER,” Carrie Ann agreed. Three nines give them 27 points.

This season is far and away the most uniformly talented and loveable cast ever to appear on Dancing with the Stars.

As the finals quickly approach, the competition becomes more fierce and the eliminations more painful.

Gilles and Cheryl are the first couple to perform their Lindy Hop. It was athletic and energetic, even though Gilles' attempts at Elvis swagger made him look more like Marcel Marceau. “Among the things the French are famous for: French toast, french kissing…and, after tonight, the Lindy Hop,” Len began. “Happy days are here again! You are a great dancer,” Bruno cheered. “This was a whole new side of Gilles, it was fantastic,” Carrie Ann agreed. They receive three nines for 27 points.

We’ve reached the point on Dancing with the Stars where the competition, once two-left-footed and gangly, has cocooned into little Fred and Gingers gliding across the floor.

The front runners are jockeying, the laggers are stepping their game up and the field is suddenly crowded with contenders.

This week the judges invited Li’l Kim and Derek to encore their Jailhouse Rock Jive, the dance that took them to the top of the leader board for the first time this season.

The first filler performance of the night was the cast of West Side Story performing “America” and doing a little something called being a triple threat before the first safe couples were announced.

Li’l Kim and Derek are the first safe couple followed by Lawrence and Edyta.

Dancing with the Stars reached the halfway point last night and the couples were confronted with the Rumba and the Jive. That meant it was all about bringing it hot and fast.

This week on Dancing with the Stars, it was time to tackle the Paso Doble and the Viennese Waltz.

Last night on Dancing with the Stars, the judges invited back their first couple of the season for an encore and, of course, they chose Gilles and Cheryl, the first couple to receive a perfect score, and very early in the season.

Since two couples were going home this week, there was no dance off, just the pressure of the bottom three, instead of two.

The first safe couple, “no surprise here” said Tom Bergeron, “Gilles and Cheryl.” Joining them, Lawrence and Edtya.

The first couple in the bottom also wasn’t a surprise, Holly and Dmitry.

We’ve barely begun the fourth week of Dancing with the Stars Season 8, but Season 6 champ Kristi Yamaguchi has already picked her frontrunners, especially in light of all the Dancing injuries.

“The injuries aren’t surprising,” Yamaguchi said. “People don’t know how physical it gets. I think that’s one reason why athletes do well — they know how to listen to their bodies.”
