And you thought the inevitable David Cook vs. David Archuleta showdown on American Idol would remove all drama from that show.

It’s nothing compared with the rumba (and cha cha, and paso doble) to victory that Kristi Yamaguchi is enjoying on Dancing with the Stars. Her lead simply grew after last night’s performance. Let’s quickly review all the scores…

Marlee Matlin and Fabian Sanchez: 21
Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska: 24
Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough: 24
Cristian de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke: 27
Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolani: 27
Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas: 30, the highest possible score.
Mario (pictured, shirtless) and Karina Smirnoff: 28, along with an exclamation from Carrie Ann Inaba: “That was better than good sex!”*
