It’s Broadway week on Dancing with the Stars. This unpredictable season is now in its 6th week which means the dances must be better and those who have been avoiding elimination week after week will be going home. This fun week has the couples dancing the Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Quick Step, Tango and Rumba to songs from our favorite Broadway Shows. So, here we go!

J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff: The soap opera star danced an amazing Quick Step to the theme of Chicago. This quick step was by far the best dance of the night deserving of a perfect score. When Martinez dances it’s so exciting and it makes me smile all the way through. I have said this from the start and I will say it again. This guy is going to win the competition. He scored 29 out of 30 points.

Ricki Lake & Derek Hough: The talk show host didn’t dance to Hairspray? That would have been funny but Lake danced the Quick Step to the theme of Guys & Dolls. After last week’s fall in the standings she redeemed herself and reminded viewers why she is one of the best dancers on the show. Her Quick Step was fun and entertaining and great as always. She scored 29 points tying J.R. for the lead.

Nancy Grace & Tristan MacManus: Grace danced the Foxtrot to the theme of Spamalot. This song was an excuse for Nancy to finally have a good time on the dance floor and while the judges believe this dance was fun and displayed personality, I found it to be rather boring. There was no power in her feet and it was a lazy dance. This is a woman who is all about being serious and she had a chance to have fun and like every week, was unexciting. She scored 24 points.

David Arquette & Kym Johnson: The actor danced the Quick Step tonight to the theme of Grease. Arquette is such a great personality and this dance seemed to suit him very well given its high energy. But, Arquette lost his timing quite a few times during the dance because of that high energy. Regardless of mistake, it was still a fun dance. He scored 23 points.

Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke: The reality star danced the Cha, Cha to the theme of Jersey Boys. It was a clean dance but didn’t have the power it needed to make a great Cha, Cha. The dance was put together very well and he executed it beautifully, but that excitement wasn’t there. I have to give him credit though because he is working his ass off and it’s crazy to see he’s actually improving, so I’m therefore impressed. He scored 22 points.

Hope Solo & Maksim Chmerkovskiy: The soccer star danced the Rumba tonight to Rent. All she did was walk around the stage and fling her arms out. Nothing more was done. Solo was one of the stars who began this competition strong and proved she could dance but doesn’t seem to be improving. She claims to be working hard and doing her best, but it’s never seen on the dance floor. Instead of working on looking sexy, she should work on learning technique. She scored 20 points.

Chaz Bono & Lacey Schwimmer:  Is anybody surprised to see Bono at the bottom of the leaderboard again? Not me, that’s for sure. Bono danced the Tango to the Phantom of the Opera. The dance fell flat and he’s not improving at all. He has a great partner that covers up his mistakes but now into the 6th week he can’t continue to get away with that. The Tango is an aggressive dance and all he did was walk around the stage just like every other week. Send him home already! He scored 19 points.

After an unexciting night of dancing there are two couple definitely safe; J.R. Martinez and Ricki Lake. Anybody can get eliminated this week; it’s just a matter of who. I have this feeling it’s going to be the week where Chaz Bono finally goes home, if not him then Hope Solo.

Who do you think will be the next star eliminated off Dancing with the Stars?

Tune in tonight at 9pm on ABC for the results show
