Recap: Jerry Springer was smooth and Emmitt Smith struggled a bit with his posture. Joey Lawrence dazzled (by far the best of the night, receiving two 10s from judges). Harry Hamlin worked hard. Sara Evans and Monique Coleman had charisma. Mario Lopez (odds on favorite to win the whole thing) surprised judges with snazzy dancing, but nontraditional Quickstep moves to garner low scores. Vivica A. Fox did well. Willa Ford and Shanna Moakler wound up in the bottom two; Moakler was sent home.

Worst moment: At one point during Mario's quick-step, viewers were treated to a fleeting shot of his partner Edyta Sliwinska's back side during a slight wardrobe malfunction. Check your TiVos!

Best decision: Monique and her partner Loui. Van Amstel go out in their off hours to enhance their chemistry. It seemed to work. The judges loved her mambo.

This week watch for: Jerry Springer will have to come up with more shenanigans to squeak by. Even though he's not the best dancer, it will be interesting to see how long he can continue to charm the judges and win fan votes.

Recap: The tribes luck out, catching chickens, spearing fish and building fires. Cao Bo. alienates his Asian (Puka) tribemates with racist jokes; Billy Garcia is on the outs with his Hispanic (Aitu) tribe, so much so that the tribe purposely loses its challenge so they can evict him. Puka wins, but Aitu sends Puka's Yul Kwon to Exile Island - where he finds the hidden immunity idol.

Worst moment: Billy's inability to avoid alienating his Aitu tribemates, and his last-ditch claim of a love connection with Raro's Candice Woodcock. "I'd fit in better with the heavy-metal tribe," Billy says.

Recap: A handful of viewers not tuned into "Grey's Anatomy" or "CSI" watch Thursday as Jai Rodriguez keeps pace with Lady Marmalade Patti LaBelle; Lucy Lawless harmonizes with Richard Marx; Hal Sparks screams" We're Not Gonna Take It" with Twisted Sister's Dee Snider; Cheech scats with Al Jarreau in "Mornin"'; and Alfonso Ribiero strolls "Through the Fire" with Chaka Khan. Not surprisingly, Cheech, and surprisingly, Jai, get the boot. Judge Little Richard, obviously unable to stand the suspense, bolts early Friday.

Best decision: Performing Foster for Foster, who wrote both "Mornin"' and "Fire." The judge tells Cheech, "Not exactly the way I wrote that song, but nevertheless, you got a lot of balls to get up there and sing with Al Jarreau. You did OK, man." And he enthuses to Alfonso, "You really, really sang that great."
