Everyone will be talking about Scary going into tonight's big vote-off, but let's talk briefly here about Jennie G. She had a terrific night last night - maybe her best in all these weeks, and what a surprise if she gets the ol' bump. It could happen, given what she's up again - aforementioned Mel B., Marie "I Should be Running for President" Osmond and Helio, the Mad Brazilian.
But of everyone, I kinda think she’s the one who best exemplifies the spirit of this show - that sort of can-do attitude and willingness to learn/experiment/take risks as you go along. It's paid off, but that said...
Anyway, my quick wrap:
Marie O: Clever girl. Very clever. Once again, in her opener, she worked her older fans with that routine danced to "Good Morning" from "Singin' in The Rain." But this time, I think she outsmarted herself: When you dance to one of the great musical numbers in MGM history, you've gotta realize that a few million viewers have the scene with Debbie Reynolds/Donald O'Connor/Gene Kelly permanently etched in their memories. As a result, Marie O and Jonathan looked slow, tired, lead-footed by comparison. I found her second routine interminable, but the judges loved it; she could still be in this race.
Scary: A couple of perfect tens pretty much buys a trip to the final, and Mel B. certainly deserves one and has since the first night of the season (as did Sabs, but that's another story.) Both her routines were great - entertaining, a little weird, forbidding, dazzling. A whip! What as that?! Four splits in a row! What was that?! Pure in-your-face-top-THAT-Marie-and-Jennie zeal and chutzpah. 
The winner. Almost.
Jennie: I've said my piece here, but let's say she does get tossed tonight - and that could happen. This is as good an opportunity to say something nice about her partner Derek Hough: That guy was just stunning. Jennie would never have gotten this far without him, and I think - watching them week after week - that he complemented her perfectly; he was near perfect Fred Astairian form, with a good actor's sense of timing and drama. What was that line about Astaire and Rogers? She gave him sex; he gave her class? Derek gave Jennie floor smarts, and she made him look even smarter in return.
Helio: He was so good last night and so pumped that I can't POSSIBLY imagine a vote-off tonight. His ballroom dance was perfect, best I could tell, and the cha-cha - that red thing that ended the show - was fine too. I imagine we have two women and a man going into next week.
