Dancing with the Stars Spring 2008: Week Three

The third week of Spring 2008 Dancing with the Stars competition took place this evening on ABC. In tonight's installment, the remaining ten celebrity contestants and their professional dance partners performed either the Tango or the Jive. Who impressed and who distressed? Find out now!

The Dancers: Marlee Matlin and Fabian Sanchez
The Dance: Jive
A Quote: "We have the same sense of humor." - Marlee, about Fabian.
The Music: You May Be Right
The Outfit: Heavily sequined grape-purple short bodysuit with fringed skirt and arm bands
The Performance: Marlee showed a lot of personality in this dance, and she was mostly on with her footwork and moves. She really moved her hips and kept up with the speed of the dance well. I'm still impressed with what she's able to do out on the dancefloor.
The Evaluation:
Len - "Marlee, you never cease to amaze me... to dance it as sharply as that without hearing, I think you did a great job."
Bruno - "You are so alive when you dance."
Carrie Ann - "I think both of you have a wonderful attitude." She pointed out that Marlee's hands were "a little bit pancake-y."
The Scores: 7, 7, 7 = 21

The Dancers: Steve Guttenberg and Anna Trebunskaya
The Dance: Tango
Fact of the Week: Anna was very sick during the week, and she sent Jonathan Roberts (her husband) to help Steve learn the Tango.
The Music: Instrumental
The Outfit: Dark brown pants and vest, black shirt, red tie.
The Performance: Steve's facial expressions were very serious, and his jaw very set during the dance. I thought he did a decent job maintaining the hold and his footwork was substantially better than it has been in the past.
The Evaluation:
Carrie Ann - "That was your best dance so far.... You set that face, you set that tone...."
Len - "You captured the flavor of the dance.... Your footwork was fantastic."
Bruno - "Mean, madly, manly."
The Scores: 7, 7, 7 = 21
