Dancing With The Stars Recap: Rob Kardashian & Ricki Lake Rise To The Top! Maks Feuding With Carrie Ann?

It was semi-finals night on Dancing With The Stars Monday and the stakes were high!

Each of the four remaining contestants had to perform three dances each — two individual dance numbers and a Cha Cha relay.

After falling into second place last week, Ricki Lake came back with a vengeance this week earning the highest scores of the night! Ricki finished in first place by earning a perfect score of 30 for her “sizzling hot, bright and brilliant” samba dance, a 29 for her tango, and an 8 for her Cha Cha. She ended the night with an amazing score of 67!

Also showing an amazing improvement after coming in 4th last week was Rob Kardashian! First, Rob earned a score of 28 for shaking his butt during his “fantastic” samba. When you add that to the 27 he earned for his Argentine tango along with the 10 he received for the Cha Cha, Rob finished the night with a 65.

Coming in last place this week was soccer star Hope Solo and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. In Hope’s defense, she did have to dance through a painful shoulder injury. While the judges liked her Argentine tango, giving her a score of 24, they also stated her paso doble “lacked artistry”. Hope received a 21 for the paso doble and earned 4 points for her Cha Cha after finishing last in the relay dance.

Meanwhile, after the live show, Maksim had some choice words for judge Carrie Ann Inaba who criticized him for smiling during her critique. When asked about Carrie Ann’s comments backstage, Maks stated: “F— Carrie Ann,”adding, “Next question.” Perhaps he was joking?

“I think Carrie Ann has an issue,” continued Maks. “I don’t know what it is. I would love to know what it is so I can address it. But as of now, I have no clue… I think it was a great night. I totally disagree with the scores, but what else is new?” Hope also chimed in stating, “They’ve [the judges] wanted to get us off since day one.”

Below are the full scores from last night -

Ricki Lake and Derek Hough (30, 29, 8 ) 67
Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke (28, 27, 10) 65
J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff (23, 27, 6) 56
Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovksiy (21, 24, 4) 49

TELL US – WHO SHOULD BE THE NEXT TO GO? DO THE JUDGES HAVE IT OUT FOR MAKS?

    It seemed to me that Carrie Ann was trying to pick a fight with Maks. Are they not allowed to smile now? I mean come on.

  2. UNFORTUNATELY HOPE IS A TERRIBLE CLUMSY HEAVY DANCER .MAKS CHOREO CAN’T COMPARE TO KARINAS & DEREKS.VERY UNINSPIRED .NOTHING LIKE WITH KIRSTIE .

  3. Hope has that tomboy thing about her like Kendra did. Nothing wrong with that, but just have more of an athletic talent then a soft flowy, dancing talent.

  4. As much as I hate anything Kardashian and want Rob to go home, I pray tonight Maks and his nasty self gets the boot. I really hope he gets fired after this season. So sick of him.

  5. @4 I agree, Max has gotten to big for his britches.

  6. please baby Jesus…just don’t let kardashian win.

  7. Hope is so completley unlikable– I think Macs is uninspired because she gives NOTHING to the team.

    Good morning everyone. Totally agree with those of you saying Maks is an ass. What a freaking jerk. He should be fired for disrespecting Carrie Ann that way. How long has he been on the show with her? She knew that when he smiled at her comments he was doing it to be a dick. I’m in shock. I can’t believe he said that backstage. Oh and Hope is a HORRIBLE dancer and should have gone home a LONG TIME AGO. She’s super unlikeable, rude and never shows one ounce of humility. She’s awful.

  9. BOTH Hope AND Maks are super unlikable.

    The funny thing is they THINK they turn in these “inspired”, wonderful routines, when they don’t. Partially her fault and partially his.

    I said it long ago, if Maks were a nicer, more humble and kind man, he might get better partners, but his attitude begs “Give me a loser so I can bitch and not win a mirror ball”.

    He and Kirstie got on well because both are self important, loathesome creatures with hideous attitudes, IMO.

  10. C’mon guys give the gal a break!!!! Yes, her partner can be an ass and hard to take but………this is suppose to be a show about stars that can’t dance and improve as they go along. I do agree that theres no way Hope will or should win becuase she hasn’t improved, that much but I do think she shouldn’t get slammed because she can’t dance as well as the rest. IMO thats all.
    Max can be and is an ass most of the time so that certainly did not help her advance in any way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WTFLOL-Everyone has improved except for her. Then on top of it she has an attitude. If she were somewhat decent I think people would agree with her but she’s not. She SUCKS!

  12. To the contrary, there are people out there who like her or she would be gone by now. I think sometimes the judges are very rude with there comments and Maks is the only one who has the balls to say something back to them and they don’t like it. Carrie Ann was picking on him. What gives her the right to tell someone if they can smile or not? They don’t like Maks, so that makes it harder for Hope. IMO

  13. Carrie Ann called him up on his shit eating grin. He’s playing all goody goody now since the blow up 2 weeks ago. They shouldn’t bring him back anymore. He’s lethal for the show.

    As for Hope, honey you can’t dance and you should have saved that shot for the Olympics instead. Apparently Hope thinks she’s better than what we actually see. Sorry, just stick with soccer.

    I actually agree with Kimmy Gibler- Maks really wasn’t doing anything, and Carrie Ann totally tried to pick a fight. I know someone who met Maks in person and said he was completly humble and unassuming. I am not defending him, but sometimes people who are insecure and shy put on a different persona to hide it, and come off as arrogant. But whatever the case may be with him, last night was more Carrie Anns doing than his, IMO

  16. I really like Maks. Yes, he’s arrogant, but he has earned it. He is insanely talented. Carrie Ann is a pain. She is the type that can’t take any dissent.
    Maks is sexy, and masculine, and bullish. My husband is like that, and let me tell you, he would defend me to the death. I like that in a man.

  17. Like I stated in the previous blog about these two, she’s just to heavy (and i don’t mean fat either). She’s tall, toned and muscular, but still it does weigh and it was hard for Maks to lift her and toss etc. etc. which is why her shoulder is acting up. I really feel she has potential, and they’re a good looking couple together on the floor , but I think she’s going home tonight.
    I don’t know if anyone else noticed it, but everytime Hope went to make a comment, Maks had to quiet her up but maybe it’s because she knows she’s getting the boot.

    Thanks MOM!

    Rob kardashian has worked hard to get this far it’s just too bad his sister and mother ruined any chance he had of winning!

  19. Hope was sloppy last night. People always say things like they wanted us off from day one instead of accepting the FACT that she is not that graceful as a dancer…EXCUSES, EXCUSES

  20. Hope is like a wooden plank. I think she’s trying very very hard, but this is not her thing. She’s too butchy. She must have an amazing fan base, though.

  21. I don’t understand how Hope has stayed on the show. She does that weird stiff thing with her shoulders that just makes it painful to watch her dance.

  22. I love Maks. Carrie Ann was a bitch last night. I really think that Carrie Ann wants to fuck Maks, but he aint havin’ it! Hope can’t dance. She’s not graceful. Hope has a nasty attitude. I want her voted off. I’ll miss Maks.

  23. I have never liked Maks. He is not helping his celebrity with his attitude. Sorry, Maks, it’s not about you.
    Pack your knives and go.

  24. I’m glad Hope spoke up to Carrie Ann, it’s so obvious CA favors Rob, all she does is praise him, but critiques everyone else to a tee

  25. …that being said, I’m not impressed with her dancing. Maybe she knows she can’t beat the others and just said screw it

    I thought Hope did well in the relay last night. She looked good, didn’t make any mistakes and she looked like she was having fun. I think the judges were unfair to her. I actually thought Ricky did much worse.

    Hope made a comment last night that “they have been trying to get rid of her since day one”. I don’t think it’s really her they were trying to get rid of. It’s Max. Every year it’s something with him. His mouth gets him into trouble. If he wants to have it our with the judges then he shouldn’t do it on LIVE TV. That’s why the other professional dancers are treated with more respect. But I do agree that Carrie Ann was trying to pick a fight. I’m sure they are feuding and it was her petty way of getting back at him.

    I don’t mind Rob Kardashian at all. I really really don’t believe he’s anything like his sisters. I actually feel sorry for the guy. He always has seemed a bit shunned or something. I think he is the MOST improved on the show. He started off just horrible. Now he’s a great dancer, has put his all into it and deserves to win if he can pull it off. I have to look away when I see his family in the audience though. I don’t give a rats ass about any of them. Not even a little.

    For the record, I really want J.R. Martinez to win. I’ve loved him since he was on All My Children. Excellent actor, excellent dancer, excellent soldier and a real live American Hero!!! When do we get to see that? Hardly ever!! GO J.R. MARTINEZ!!!

    I also want Jr to win! I am defending Maks on last nights show though because he did nothing wrong! I wish they would replace Carrie Ann.

  28. Yes 100% JR for the win.

    Hands down.

    ( I love how Maks stands up TO Carrie Ann and stands up FOR Hope )

  29. Happy for Rob remaining on top. Kourtney, however, seems to feel she is above everyone else including her former babysitter….

  30. Dancing With the Starless would be so boring without Mad-Maks but the show would continue unharmed if the judges were replaced.

  31. Peition for Kardashians to disappear from the E! Network………

  32. I like watching Maks dance; he’s hot! I don’t think Hope is a very good dancer though. But last night was all Carrie Ann’s fault. She was trying to start a fight with Maks. I can’t stand her judging and fake tears when she is so overwhelmed with emotion from someone’s dance. Puke! I would not miss her on the show at all. I would miss watching Maks though!

    Maks has a rotten attitude and is very disrespectful to pretty much everyone. Since I saw physically assaulting Hope I lost what little respect I still for him. His choreography is totally uninspired and really seems designed to showcase him rather than his partner. I’m hoping he doesn’t come back next year because he brings too much negative energy to the show and it brings everyone down. Hope tries but I think Mak’s attitude towards her inhibits her ability to relax and deliver a smooth flowing performance.

    Rob totally blew my mind last night. He’s improved the most, that’s for sure and I’ve even grown to like him which I wasn’t really prepared to do because of the family he comes from. He now appears to be a contender for that lovely mirror ball trophy.

  34. Maks is so obnoxious. Might have a great body but his personality is very much lacking.
    Go home Maks and stare at yourself in the mirror and Hope with her attitude should go put some man deoderant on her manpits

  35. Max is sour grapes. He sarcastically smiles at them while they are trying to critique and its a shame Holly can’t take constructive criticism and thinks its personal. She should tape the shows so she can see how awful she dances.

  36. I hope J.R. wins.
    Rob Kardasian is there because of his family and has a silver spoon in his ass er’ mouth.

  37. YES BUT HE SEEMS TO DISLIKE THEM .HE CALLED KIM A ‘WHORE’ AWHILE BACK . & IN EVERY PHOTO HE IS LEANING AWAY FROM HER . BODY LANGUAGE NOT GOOD. HE SHOULD HAVE DISTANCED HIMSELF FROM THEM LONG AGO.HOPEFULLY IT’S NOT TOO LATE. HE’S DOING GREAT ON DWTS & IT MUST BUG ASS CLOWN NO END . LOL.

  38. YES HOPE HAS TOO MUCH VANITY.CANNOT TAKE CRITICISM .SHE IS TERRIBLE . HE LOOKS AS IF HE MUST PUSH & PULL HER .VERY AWKWARD.

    This show won’te be around much longer. Both Maks and Carrie Ann are acting like 13 year old girls. Two ego’s clashing is what that is. What’s funny is the only reason Rob is still on there is because of his sisters’ popularity. And this whole sob story piece was always living in his sisters’ shadows. Seriously!? Everyone else had real sad stories and have worked hard to get where they are….Rob has been living off of his stepsister Khloe…spoon fed, no talent, mommy is bought my stint on DWTS because I have no ambition because I don’t need it….I will give him this: unlike his narcissistic money grubbing talentless whore sister he does have rythmn!
