Dancing With the Stars Round 3

   This was a very good week of dancing. Who was best? Kristi Yamaguchi,
   Jason Taylor, Shannon Elizabeth were all on their game and got high
   scores. But I think Marlee Matlin won the night even if she did get
   all 8's from the judges.
   In fact, I'd say Matlin's blend of dance and emotion would have been
   remarkable for two professionals, let alone what you might call a
   pro-am handicap event. It wasn't so much sexy as her being so
   intensely attentive to her partner - a woman in love. Carrie Ann could
   hardly speak afterward but I'll agree that 8 is reasonable on the
   technique.
   Priscilla Presley, Mario, and Marissa Jaret Winokur get B's this week.
   Marissa's hard work clearly showed, but she's not yet an A-list
   contestant.
   That leaves Adam Carolla who will be my pick to go. He was better
   controlled verbally but the unicycle bit went too long, making him
   look less than serious, which he is. Cristián De La Fuente also
   missed the mark. His routine looked more like a Chippendale act. And
   grunts aren't allowed.
   But like I said, this was a pretty good week of dancing with 5 perfect
   10's from the judges.
