Last week, Aaron almost went home and my heart skipped a beat. This week, there aren't any new injuries, but some of the dancers have been struck down by the flu. How will that affect the competition? Once again, Tom doesn't say LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE and I find it really bothers me. I'm a creature of routine. Ooh, I just got my first glimpse of Samantha's hair and I had to pause the DVR for a second and really take it all in. It is some BIG hair, and it looks like she got a perm for the occasion. It reminds me of my brother's high school girlfriend; she had such big hair that we used to make fun of her because, in her school picture, all of her hair wouldn't fit in the frame. And we didn't even live in Texas. But I think Samantha's hair might be bigger.
The couples enter the ballroom and we see that Maks is subbing in for Derek this week, so Derek's obviously the one that was struck down by the flu. I'm interested to see how Maks and Joanna dance together. Louis Van Amstel has on as much makeup as he did last week, and it's kind of freaking me out. He looks like a zombie. Tom and Samantha announce that the couples will be doing either the Argentine tango or the paso doble tonight, as well as the group Hustle. And Maks is subbing for "flu-ridden Derek Hough." The sound is all off and you can barely hear Tom over the audience shrieking. Get on that, technicians.
