DWTS: ‘DWTS’ Recap: Dancers Rock Out (Shirtless), Gilbert Injured!

“Dancing with the Stars” was ready to rock and roll after having said goodbye to soap star Jack Wagner last Tuesday during confessional week. Rock week has always been a mixed bag as it doesn’t easily lend itself to ballroom, but it seemed as though musicians Gavin DeGraw and Gladys Knight would have a small edge on Monday night’s performance show. The show even left Melissa Gilbert in tatters, as she was sent via ambulance with a neck brace. 


Rock band KISS opened the show by performing “Rock and Roll All Nite,” fresh off their appearance at the Country Music Awards. The veteran rockers sure have been on the TV show circuit—what’s up with that? It was a typically great performance by KISS; they know what they’re doing by now. Odd they are appearing on Family-Friendly TV, Middle America may have a problem with this.

Time for the parade of stars, accompanied by the drumming of KISS, which joined Harold Wheeler and the band. Donald Driver was flashing his abs and so was Derek Hough, Val Chmerkovkskiy and his better known brother, Maks Chmerkovskiy. Loved Gladys and Gavin’s’ elaborate eye makeup. So Gay!


I saw right through that Hough/Menounos and Fegan/Hightower had better songs and got higher marks. Is Disney desperate to maintain their Branding of Hough and Fegan? 

The Judges called Fegan the Top Male, while it was Driver who had the highest score. Huh?
