Does anyone really think that Brooke Burke and Derek Hough aren’t going to win this season’s “Dancing with the Stars”?

There shouldn’t be any doubts after tonight’s perfect perfomance — given a 10 by all three judges. Brooke’s foxtrot to “Lullaby of Birdland” was, as judge Bruno Tonioli described it, “gobsmacking, beautiful, brilliant performance from start to finish.”

In a battle for second place, it was Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer versus Maurice Green and Cheryl Burke. Both teams earned scores of 25 for their individual dances, but those weren’t the only scores for our dancers this week.

The couples were divided into two teams for judged group dances (Team Cha Cha and Team Paso Doble) and the results rumbled through the scoreboard.

Performing to “Mercy,” Team Cha Cha (Lance Bass, Cody Linley and Susan Lucci with partners) tried, but the dance was uncoordinated, sloppy and not well put together. Even excellent dancing by Lance and Lacey couldn’t earn Team Cha Cha more than a 20 from the judges.

Team Paso Doble (otherwise known as the best dancers on the show) consisted of Brooke Burke, Maurice Green and Walter Sapps with their professional partners. Their dance to “Get Your Rocks Off” was amazing — a true show stopper.

Team Paso Doble’s score of 29 gave Maurice Green and Cheryl Burke second place this week. For their individual dance, they performed an excellent cha cha to “Cupid Shuffle.”

The team dance rescued Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson from last place this week. Performing a foxtrot to “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby?”, the couple earned only a 21 in the individual dance, but combined with the Team Paso Doble score it put them in third place.

Lance and Lacey performed a sensual, barefoot rumba to “Your Body is a Wonderland.” Judge Len Goodman didn’t get it, but their “Barefoot in the Park” number was a beautiful out-of-the-ordinary take on a standard dance. Instead of being in a tie for second place, Team Cha Cha’s low score knocked Lance and Lacey to fourth place.

Susan Lucci and Tony Dovalani earned a 24 from the judges for their paso doble but combined with the team score the couple found themselves in fifth place.

At the bottom of the scoreboard were Cody Linley and Edyta Sliwinska (substituting for the recovering Julianne Hough). Week 7 is a little late in the competition to pair up with a new partner and then to have to perform the Viennese waltz, it was too much. Cody and Edyta earned a 22 from the judges for their dance to “Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman.” 

And just so you don’t think this week was pain free: Maurice Green hyper-extended his leg and Brooke Burke is still nursing her injured foot.

Who’s going home? We won’t know until Wednesday this week.
