Dancing With The Stars

(Comments to Laila Ali after her performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: Your movements are still a little small. You've gotta work on your flexibility and opening up a little more.

(Comments to Apolo Anton Ohno after his performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: That was so romantic. Woo! Len Goodman: Learning the routine is not the end of it. It was riddled with footwork. Your head when you're in hold is supposed to be to the left. Yours was to the right.

(Comments to Leeza Gibbons after her performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: Not so good this week. You looked awkward on your heels. You've gotta start moving your body more. Len Goodman: Dull, dull, dull.

(Comments to Ian Ziering after his performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: You're not breathing, and that's why you get stiff and you lose your balance and your footing so often. Bruno Tonioli: You started like Mr. McDreamy, but sometime you went to Mr. McStiffy.

(Comments to John Ratzenberger after his performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: I was confused. I couldn't tell if you were being funny, or if you were really trying and it just wasn't working out so well. Len Goodman: I think you were going for humor, because you made me laugh a lot. Bruno Tonioli: Obviously the magic backfired tonight, and it turned into a curse.

(Comments to Cylde Drexler after his performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: Are you aware that there are different styles for each dance? Because it's not showing up on the floor. Len Goodman: Clyde, in my opinion, you're not even giving it your best shot. He's just walking through the dance. Bruno Tonioli: There's more romance between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell.

(Comments to Billy Ray Cyrus after his performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: That was oddly awkward, and sexy, and hot, and strange all at once, but I loved it. Len Goodman: You did the most practicing this week of all the couples.... I can see some improvement, and I can see that you're giving it your all. Bruno Tonioli: You really went for it, like a mad bull in Pamplona.

(Comments to Heather Mills after her performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: This week wasn't as good. Your shoulders were up. Your neck was a little bit awkward. I think you can do better. Len Goodman: I thought overall you did a great job.

(Comments to Joey Fatone after his performance) Carrie Ann Inaba: You were on fire tonight! That's what a Paso Doble should be. Len Goodman: You really captured the flavor of that dance. It was the best Paso of the night by a mile. Bruno Tonioli: You were right on it.

(during rehearsals) Karina Smirnoff: Knees bent, knees bent! Bend your knees. Both knees are bent. Billy Ray Cyrus: Are my knees supposed to be bent? (after Karina leaves practice upset) Billy Ray Cyrus: I know that if I was like, one of the greatest dancers in the world and then all of a sudden I got Billy Ray Cyrus as my partner, I would be extremely disappointed. Karina Smirnoff: I put a lot of pressure on myself in this competition and I let it get to me. But Billy Ray and I are past that and we are ready to rock that Paso.

Clyde Drexler: They said we regressed, deep inside, I'm thinking, 'Hey! What's the big deal? We did fine!' Elena Grinenko: Clyde is very laid back. Like really laid back. Stop yawning! But I need to make him work harder. Clyde Drexler: Rome wasn't built overnight. How about we stop for a time out? Elena Grinenko: There's no time for a time out. Get up! Clyde Drexler: No!

(in confessional) Ian Ziering: It was definitely kind of frustrating, working so hard and then pulling up a bit short. I think I just need to learn from my mistakes. (during rehearsals) Ian Ziering: It's kind of hard to take Class Clown out of my DNA. Cheryl Burke: Everything about the character of the Waltz is opposite of Ian! Ian, I need more Fred Astaire and less Goofy, can you give that to me? Ian Ziering: I think this week, Class Clown is going to be replaced by classy gentleman.

(after Len criticizes Apolo and Julianne's Waltz) Tom Bergeron: From a British perspective, are your knickers in a twist or something?

Apolo Anton Ohno: The only thing I know about the Waltz is that it's slow and older - the complete opposite of what Julianne and I are. Julianne Hough: Do it, slowly, slowly, slowly. We have to feel each other's body. Apolo Anton Ohno: I feel like I'm too close to you! Julianne Hough: You're not! I'm really trying to do my best to help Apolo embrace the romantic nature of the Waltz, but because we have the brother/sister relationship, it's a little awkward. Apolo Anton Ohno: Whoa! We were nose to nose! Being the youngest couple, I'm not sure we have the maturity for the Waltz - but we're sure going to fake it!

(during the judges' commentary on Laila and Maksim) Bruno Tonioli: You can really knock us out, you can't cop out midway. Tom Bergeron: And she can actually knock you out! Bruno Tonioli: Yes, she can!
