Emotions were running high last night on Dancing With The Stars as the celebrities were asked to choose the most important year of their lives, pick a song from that time, and then form a dance to communicate the reason/event that made that year so special or heart-breaking.
If the celebs could manage to get judge Carrie Ann Inaba to cry prior to even showing up on the dance floor, they were guaranteed at least a nine, and for some those tears translated to 10's. The sobbier the story, the higher the points, with bonus points given if the celeb was too overcome with emotion to be interviewed by DWTS co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet.
The most heart-wrenching stories got the best scores, with exception to poor little Laura Ingalls, Melissa Gilbert, who even though she related the story of how she broke her back and was frightened that the corrective surgery needed would leave her paralyzed, only managed to get a score of 24 as compared to the other sad-storied celebs.
Now a score of 24 in week three of this competition is pretty incredible and only shows the caliber of dancing this group of celebrities has brought to the game. Everyone was really quite good last night with no obviously awful dancers. Of course it would also be incredibly difficult for the judges to downgrade any of them as even the cheerful tales related caused tears at some point.
If I had to guess who will appear in the bottom three tonight, I would say Gavin DeGraw, Jack Wagner and Gladys Knight. That list is based strictly on performances and ability to improve in the weeks ahead. Fan votes count for a lot and if anyone has a good fan base they can often surprise us all with their staying power.
