Oh look,Carole Baskinis talking to herself!
Seems about right, given what we learned about that hot mess of a woman this summer on Netflix.
But wait, so is A.J.
Guess its actually an opportunity for hostTyra Banksto pull an old chestnut from her days onAmericas Next Top Model.
She wants to teach the celebs how to smize!
It doesnt go well.
Cut to the ballroom, yo.
Welcome to week 2 ofDancing With the Stars!
But first, a come-to-Jesus moment between Baskin and her pro.
Whats it like being Public Enemy No.
I see what the media can do to you …
I dont know how to make it better.
I hopeDancing With the Starsmakes it good for my daughter.
She can tell her friends, ‘This is who my momma is.
She doesnt really dance, but she can learn to dance.'"
“That was a big improvement from last week.
This year, its Emmas turn, but she sure can bring out the best from that beauteous baller.
Your timing is better, your jacket is fire.
But dont let the fancy surroundings fool you; Stause actually grew up poor while wearing smelly clothes.
No tears before the rumba, yo!
Now Im seeing the bombshell emerging, and Im impressed!
And check out his fine selection of kicks (shout out to the Shoe Surgeon, I guess?)
Your timing is particularly good tonight!
And you do have a fantastic musicality, said Tonioli.
It seemed to work for the cheerleading coach.
Too bad the judges didnt get a kick out of her half-jump.
Now he wants to be a champion in the ballroom!
Performing the Paso doble and having a partner like Peta can help to attain that goal.
But first, dont get ahead of the music, big guy!
I love the power, the determination, the strength.
You really want to do it, Tonioli said.
I love that you corrected yourself in the middle of it, added Inaba.
Oh baby, my love, listen, things happen.
All performances have moments that dont go that way but I still believe in you!
I want to say momma Mai has to go easy on you, said Inaba.
You go for it!
These time-filling Q&As in the ballroom as we wait for those scores are awwkkkwwward.
But then her foxtrot deserved some sparks!
And she sure loves her Keo.
Actually I really enjoyed it, said Hough.
Im totally swept away.
Metcalfe talked a lot about his great chemistry with the Australian beauty, and we certainly cant blame him.
Oh mister dreamy does it again, said Tonioli.
I thought it was smooth.
Whoda thunk the judges would pay as much attention to his mad skills as they did his furry pecs?
By the beard of Zeus that is a lot of chest hair!
exclaimed judge Derek Hough.
I am startled, a bit of manscaping would do, added Bruno Tonioli.
Girlfriend looks like shes having such a swell time foxtrotting under that shower of pink petals.
Oh my goodness you are such a natural, beautiful dancer!
It just feels like it comes from you, said Hough.
You make me happy.
But a miracle occurred.
I will dance through anything!
She did, too.
Inaba saved Baskin, Tonioli saved Oakley, so Hough was forced to break the tie.
He saved the woman who will probably help with ratings: Baskin.
