'Dancing With the Stars' recap: Waltzing the Night Away

Ty ''It's Pretty Obvious I'm Not Cuban'' Murray and Chelsie: 46/60 One of the best moments of the episode for me was Ty with Jewel. You know what I'm talking about: The couple's leopard-print and safari-esque bathrobes complemented each other perfectly. Together they made one whole zoo. No, seriously, we'll all remember Ty's adorable ''sort of a solo'' at the end of his rumba, during which he walked slowly (and off the beat) over to his wife while (barely) shaking his hips, as one of the cutest DWTS moments ever. Ty Murray was not built for the rumba, or light purple, but he tried as mightily as Chelsie's feathered bottom in that Latin round anyway. Mr. King of the Cowboys fared much better in the Argentine Tango, which he liked because he could hold on to Chelsie, act serious, and do some lifts. Bruno called Ty a Power Ranger (which was perfect, and at first struck me as a compliment) and the judges agreed his movements are still too stiff, but Ty's tango matched his high score (from the Lindy Hop) of 25. He's getting decent scores, but the others consistently score even higher. I'll be shocked if Ty doesn't go home tonight, even though we all wuv him.

The Hidden Gem of Monday Reader Lisa emailed me during the show with this excellent find: Right after Melissa and Tony's waltz, ''there he was — a dead ringer for Jason the Bachelor! He looked so much like him on first glance, my daughter gasped and nearly fell out of her chair.'' (OMG...is Lisa's daughter Holly Madison during the Argentine Tango?)

Awesome. Thanks, Lisa! Apologies to all for the horrid image quality. I had to snap it with my phone. AT&T sponsors recaps, too!

Ever since Lisa Rinna performed her ''look at me'' full-body shake during last night's show, I've been psyched for tonight's new-pro competition. Calling Rinna, Cody Linley, and Maurice Greene ''some of our favorite stars'' is a rather amusing stretch, but these three do make excellent choices for celebrity partners in that they're all hardworking go-getters with minimal natural dance talent. By the way, did anyone else catch Afton's very obvious smirk during that staged ''elimination round'' in the dance studio, as her original partner Brent was announced as one of the lowest vote-getters? What? Stop booing me. It's the truth! Spotted dick and custard! Pickle me walnuts!

Okay, DANCMSTRs, it's time for my medication. Sound off on the quarterfinal performance round in the comments. Your posts will show up....liiiiiiiiiiiive.
