"I&amp;#x27;m a rock n roll chick at heart. &amp;#x27;80s hair bands are my passion from the teased hair to the sexual tension that makes you want to throw your bra on stage. So, I was pretty psyched that tonight&amp;#x27;s Dancing with the Stars was ROCK NIGHT.I could barely pay attention to anything but the big hair, leather, fishnets and rhinestones that all the contestants were trotting out on the dance floor. It was way more important than the dancing as far as I am concerned. Here&amp;#x27;s what went down: First, Kiss took the stage in full make-up and sang &amp;quot;I Want to Rock n Roll (All Night)&amp;quot; which was a pretty epic way to start the night. Brooke Burke Charvet (I think this is the first time she&amp;#x27;s used Charvet on the show) looked like a classy groupie in her leather bustier. Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy danced the tango to Quiet Riot&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;Come on Feel the Noise&amp;quot;--but not before Sherri worked her inner, uh, club dancer on the judge&amp;#x27;s table! Bruno liked it when Sherri&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;nasty&amp;quot; but Carrie Ann thought she was expressionless. Really? All Sherri does is show off her feelings on her face! Score: 21 Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas went from shimmery dresses and flowing gowns to spikes and capes this evening! I had no idea that Katherine could break free from her girly girl side and bring out the &amp;quot;Welsh Warrior&amp;quot; the way Mark asked her to! Bruno thought they looked like storming X-Men . . . enough said. Score: 24 Jaleel White and Kym Johnson channeled the Rolling Stones with Jaleel going for his inner Mick Jagger (which was actually hard because somehow Jaleel never listened to the Stones OR rock music). I don&amp;#x27;t know, I feel like Jaleel didn&amp;#x27;t quite get it and was channeling his inner Hugh Hefner instead! Carrie Ann loved this performance and not Katherine and Mark? Wow--the stakes are getting higher tonight! Score: 22 Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are not my favorite pair. They argued in rehearsal because Maks wanted her to show some attitude--to get pissed and get annoyed. She needs to because Melissa acts like she&amp;#x27;s still the good girl from Little House on the Prairie and it drives me insane. Uh, and their costumes scream &amp;quot;ole&amp;quot;--did they not get the &amp;quot;let&amp;#x27;s rock&amp;quot; memo? Len liked them, Bruno liked them and so did Carrie Ann (she even thought this was their best performance). I guess I&amp;#x27;m out of synch with the judges tonight (even though I know they don&amp;#x27;t judge based on costume choices). Score: 22 Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd went for it by paying homage to Jimi Hendrix--and having Donald show off his smoking hot bod! They just worked it to &amp;quot;Purple Haze&amp;quot; on the dance floor in a psychedelic, sexy blur. One of my favorites of the night! Bruno loved Donald&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;guns&amp;quot; (and performance too!), Carrie Ann called it one of the most memorable moments of the season and Len never thought he would get excited to see a man with his shirt off! Score: 27 Gladys Knight and Tristan MacManus have not been at the top of my personal leader board this season. I know that Gladys is an icon and I love me some Pips--but she just doesn&amp;#x27;t do it for me on the dance floor. Now, her partner Tristan IS adorable and I was hoping that he would find a way to bring out Gladys&amp;#x27; inner rock goddess (considering the fact that she&amp;#x27;s a Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee). Their dance was a tango to Queen&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;Bohemian Rhapsody&amp;quot; and started with this hilarious opening: But I felt like it was stiff--even during the epic, head banging close of the song. Very disappointing. The judges actually agreed with me. Carrie Ann thought it didn&amp;#x27;t all come together, Len thought it wasn&amp;#x27;t the best but wasn&amp;#x27;t their worst dance and even Bruno thought they chose a really hard song to dance to and it lacked some impact. I always feel a tad better when I&amp;#x27;m on the same page as them! Score: 20 Ahhh--finally my love William Levy and Cheryl Burke hit the stage. Lets talk about how adorable it was to see William baffled by &amp;#x27;80s hair bands (he wasn&amp;#x27;t allowed to listen to American music while growing up in Cuba). Cheryl told him they were going to dance to Twisted Sister&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;We&amp;#x27;re Not Gonna Take It&amp;quot; and he wanted to know why she was calling him &amp;quot;sister.&amp;quot; Cheryl brought in &amp;#x27;80 hair band Steel Panther to help get him acclimated and he wanted to know who the &amp;quot;two ugly women&amp;quot; were. So cute! But on the dance floor, sigh, I don&amp;#x27;t know what was up with William tonight. Maybe it was the weird polka sounding version of &amp;quot;We&amp;#x27;re Not Gonna Take It&amp;quot; that they danced to? Maybe it was because he showed no skin tonight? There was definitely some slip ups too but I hope this was just an off night! All three judges all told him that he lights up the room--but agreed with me that he was off tonight and has to stay focused! Score: 22 Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower danced the waltz and with the exception of lots of rhinestone bling on their outfits--there was nothing rock or roll about their dance. They looked great together but you can&amp;#x27;t have Kiss come out to set the tone for the show and then do a romantic, sweeping dance! Bruno loved their beautiful, flowing movement and Carrie Ann told Roshon he&amp;#x27;s the best dancer of the men and Len said the words that Roshon longed to hear--&amp;quot;Good job, dog!&amp;quot; Score: 26 Maria Menounos and Derek Hough were like illegally hot together last week. So I couldn&amp;#x27;t wait to see them get naughty and push the limits for rock week to &amp;quot;School&amp;#x27;s Out&amp;quot; by Alice Cooper. We almost didn&amp;#x27;t see it happen when Maria was diagnosed with stress fractures in her feet during rehearsals. But not to worry--you could never tell. Maria started out as the buttoned up teacher . . . And then unleashed the sexy (though I think you can read it on her face that she was a little nervous about doing further damage to her feet and in a wee bit of pain) . . . Carrie Ann thought their chemistry was incredible, Len liked her posture but thought it was just &amp;quot;pretty good&amp;quot; and Bruno couldn&amp;#x27;t believe this is what she could do on a broken foot! Considering that Derek had to whisk Maria off on piggy back--let&amp;#x27;s hope she&amp;#x27;s not in a cast next week! Score: 26 Gavin DeGraw and Karina Smirnoff have steadily been improving from week to week . . . and since Gavin technically IS a rock star, I was really excited to see what they would do to close out the show. I loved that Karina&amp;#x27;s plan was to take his passion on the concert stage and get him to put it on the dance floor. I think it worked! They did a sultry tango to the Rolling Stones&amp;#x27; &amp;quot;Paint It Black&amp;quot; even though you could tell poor Gavin was concentrating so hard with every step to pull it off! Len liked it--he thought it had &amp;quot;flair and attitude.&amp;quot; Bruno could tell that he was determined and focused but saw lots of little problems with his posture. But Carrie Ann said she reminded him of Johnny Depp with the way he stayed in character! Score: 23 I don&amp;#x27;t know guys, for my favorite theme so far this was not my favorite night of dancing! What did you think? Who surprised you and who disappointed?? And whoa, Tom Bergeron just said that Melissa Gilbert injured herself and went to the hospital--hope she&amp;#x27;s okay!
