On yesterday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, the nine amateur performers were assigned either the sexy Samba or the fiery Tango. By night’s end:

• The show’s two leaders scored less than they did last week. Warren earned a 22 (down from 25) for his Samba while Brooke got a 26 (down from a 28) for her Samba.
• Three performers hit new highs. Lance racked up a 26 (Tango), Susan reached a 24 (Tango) while Cloris achieved a 22 (Tango).
• Speaking of Leachman, this was the first time she had ever seen a mark above 20.
• Rocco DiSpirito was the only person to not score above a 19. (He was given an 18 for his Samba.)

Unfortunately, most of us could have smelled this ending long before the week began. After narrowly escaping elimination last Tuesday, Rocco DiSpirito and his pouty partner (Karina Smirnoff) were shown the door tonight. The low numbers they cooked up Monday simply weren’t enough to make up for last week’s scores.
