DWTS’ Semi-Finals: Perfect Scores, ‘Passion of the Christ’ & More

If you’ve been watching ‘Dancing with the Stars‘ all season, you’d think the three celebrities heading to next week’s finals would be a given: Jennifer Grey, Brandy and Kyle Massey, according to Fancast.

But, as we all know, ballroom success is not always based on dancing alone. It’s 50% talent (as scored by the very capable judges) and 50% voting (as scored by the ever-unpredictable American public).

What are we getting at? Bristol ‘The Pistol’ Palin is firing on all cylinders — and that has some people really fired up. Sarah Palin’s daughter hasn’t exactly had a leg up in the talent, sex appeal or personality departments all season long, yet Bristol could quite possibly make it through to the season finale, especially now that she landed her highest scores of the season (a 27!). To put it in perspective, consider this: Bristol, who has been at the bottom of the leaderboard for six weeks, tied with Brandy, who has topped the leaderboard four times. Go figure!

Monday night’s passion-fueled semi-finals featured each couple performing a ballroom dance and a Latin dance. Who got a perfect score? Who bounced their way into the judges’ hearts? And who should be bounced from the ballroom next? Find out below….
