Dancing with the Stars: It’s the 100th Episode and Mario Goes Home.

May 6, 2008 08:41:10 by Jennifer_Brown

It’s a huge night for Dancing with the Stars fans–the 100th episode, which Dancing plans to celebrate in big style. After a special half-hour show highlighting the judges’ Top Ten Favorite Routines of the series, it’s time to go live and get down to business.

The talent tonight is nothing short of awesome, as we soon find out when Dancing pros past and present come out to do a little number to The Black Crowes’ Hard to Handle. They look good in sparkling gold and daring black (and yes, we miss you Maks!). But they’re hardly all the dancing talent we’re going to get a load of tonight.

Also dancing tonight are Apolo Ohno & Julianne Hough, a soft and sexy routine to the completely amazing vocals of Rascall Flatts (is it just me or did they sound go-ooo-od tonight?!) singing the song Everyday from their album Still Feels Good. Later, Rascall Flatts takes the stage again with their mega-hit Life is a Highway, along to an energetic and sparkly routine performed by Mel B and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

The Macy’s Stars of Dance routine this week was none other than Dancing alumnus, Mario Lopez, who performed a special number from the Broadway show, A Chorus Line.

And then there are the familiar faces in the audience. Lots of Dancing stars returned, including Stacy Keibler, Lisa Rinna, Jerry Springer, Vivica A. Fox, Joey Fatone, Kenny Mayne, Sabrina Bryan, Kelly Monaco, and Drew Lachey (Um… where is Cameron Mathison, people?!).

But soon the star-spotting must come to an end and we must get down to the business at hand–that is the business of elimination. The celebs come into tonight’s elimination in the following rank order:

5th place: Marissa & Tony. “It really felt like Broadway,” Marissa says of her performance last night.

4th place: Jason & Edyta. “We had fun on the floor,” Jason says.

3rd place: Mario & Karina. “It’s official,” Mario gloats. “I love ballroom dancing!”

2nd place: Kristi & Mark. “I’m glad it’s done,” Kristi says of last night’s performance.

1st place: Cristian & Cheryl. “You should’ve hurt yourself a long time ago,” Cheryl tells Cristian. “Kidding! Kidding!”

Tom lines up the celebs and announces that the first ones safe and going to next week’s semi-finals are… Marissa & Tony! Marissa cheers and jumps up and down. Next, Tom announces, are Kristi & Mark! The third safe couple… Cristian & Cheryl! That leaves Jason & Edyta and Mario & Karina in the bottom two. Somberly, Tom announces that Mario & Karina are the couple going home tonight.

“I’ve had a great time performing on the show,” Mario says. “Len, thank you for all your comments… Ultimately you made me a better ballroom dancer.” He gives a quick shout-out to the soldiers overseas as being true inspirations, and heads to the floor for his final dance.

Next week the competition heats up as our stars compete in the semi-finals. We’re only two weeks away from crowning a new Dancing winner and giving out the coveted Mirrorball Trophy!
