During the third week of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ season 16 action, the remaining eleven celebrity contestants and their pro partners got into character for Prom Week.
In addition to the celebs, members of the band, the judges and the co-hosts all donned vintage prom attire.
Tom Bergeron opened the show by saying, “This is not an April Fools’ joke. It’s really prom night.” Rocking a decidedly BIG hairdo, Brooke Burke-Charvet added, “And yes, I really wore my hair like this.”
Later TB added, “We are very proud: The Audubon Society has declared Brooke’s prom hair as a nesting habitat.”
Former ‘Idol’ alum Kellie Pickler and pro Derek Hough earned the top spot on the leaderboard Monday with a ‘Footloose’ jive. Nibbling at their heels were 16-year-old Disney celeb Zendaya Coleman and NFL wide receiver Jacoby Jones.
Languishing precariously at the bottom of the pack and in jeopardy of getting the boot tonight is country singer Wynonna Judd. She and pro Tony Dovolani received 5’s from the judges for their uninspired Samba to the strains of Def Leppard tune ‘Pour Some Sugar on Me.’
The judges seemed pained to fault her lack of talent but it was nearly impossible to overlook her stiff-as-a-plank dance technique. Unless she has a voting block willing to keep her around – we predict that she is going down the road tonight.
We thought the standout performance of the evening was that of former ‘Bachelor’ star Sean Lowe and his super-sexy pro partner Peta Murgatroyd.
Their creative Village People-inspired cha-cha-cha performed to ‘YMCA’ was very entertaining for a number of reasons. Check out the clip beginning at the 1:40 mark on the slider:
