'Dancing with the Stars' Week 8 Preview: Instant Dancing, Not-Instant Results
November 7, 2011

With only five contestants left to vie for the Dancing with the Stars season 13 Mirror Ball, it's time to up the stakes. Each of the remaining celebrities will need to perform two dances in week 8 in order to stay in the competition.  ::snipping2::

Instant Dancing
Week 8 of Dancing with the Stars season 13 marks the first time that each pair will need to choreograph and perform two full, independent dances. The first performance for each pair will be in the standard format and will be in any not-yet-danced style. For the second performance, each pair will do a jive -- but it's a jive with a twist.

Although they work out the basic choreography in advance, the competitors will need to dance their jives to music selected only minutes before the performance.

Musical Guests
While the Monday night Performance Show is sticking to competition in week 8, Tuesday night's Dancing with the Stars: The Results Show will more than make up for that lack.

Andrea Bocelli, the Italian tenor, will perform "More" with Chris Botti, while the DWTS Troupe provides the dancing. The female pros of season 13 will give a dance performance to Jordin Sparks' "I Am Woman." Rapper Flo Rida will be on hand for a medley of two singles ("Club Can't Handle Me" and "Good Feeling"). And the "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance of the week will be the television premiere of the Cirque du Soleil show "Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour."

Also, there will be results.

The Standings
Going into week 8, the DWTS standings have altered slightly. After an exceptional week 7, Ricki and Derek have grabbed the lead away from J.R. and Karina. Meanwhile, Rob and Cheryl have inched ahead of Hope and Maks in the overall standings.

1. Ricki Lake and Derek Hough: 205 points overall
2. J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff: 201 points
3. Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke: 183 points
4. Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 182 points
5. Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus: 169 points

Will this all change again after week 8? Anything is possible!

Hi Muffy.

[tcumom]

Hi, y'all !   

Sooooo, I'm already opening my big mouth and saying that Rob will be #3 in the entire contest.

What do y'all think?

[Terri]

 

HI!!!! 

I can only say this with a preface...you all know I despise the K family but...here we go...I LOVED ROB'S DANCING. 

I loved watching him and think he may be placing 3rd.  We have to give credit where credit is due.

Dang it, Dallas area under a Tornado Watch/Thunderstorm warning.....My Direct Tv keeps going in and out.....Please post all you can ....Don't want to miss this one!!!! Thanks

[San]

Hahahahahah Rob Kardashian got ManEater for his next song by Hall and Oats.

Babs  please be careful. 

[Terri]

Tcumom,  we must have been posting at the same time.

[Terri]

Babs, stay safe!!!

[MuffyBee]

Babs, were you able to see the opening/first dance with Rob doing the quickstep?  They got a score of 27 out of 30.  Next they have to dance to Hall and Oates "Man Eater', which they got by draw.

[San]

Hi, y'all !   

Sooooo, I'm already opening my big mouth and saying that Rob will be #3 in the entire contest.

What do y'all think?

I agree he will probably place third.  For a 24 year old he should have been more serious and more competitive.  He waited for the last three weeks to say to Cheryl push me hard in practice.  Shows me he was lazy all along.

[San]

Maks is FOS.  He was rough and he is making excuses because everyone noticed what he did.

[tcumom]

Tcumom,  we must have been posting at the same time.

I just started to write the same thing ! 

AND, yes . . . I will admit it . . . I kinda like him . . . . still want that annoying family in the background to be quiet.  poor guy.

[Terri]

I wonder if Hope means what she is saying or is it PR?   She does seem nicer.  But after all these weeks of negative competition, it is going to be hard for her to win me over.

[San]

Maks' father said to him "you look like girl" 

[MuffyBee]

I think Hope's foot work is pretty lousy.
