Bruno Tonioli is the real reason I think I watch ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

His enthusiasm for sex, sexiness, and, well, sex appeal is so over the top Italian, I can see Len's wincing British "here he goes again" side eyes all the way to my living room. Bruno just can't help it, it's in his blood.

No surprises as the group is winnowing down, the innate naturals like Nicole are just getting better, and the two left footies like Kate Gosselin are hanging in by the grace of George Lopez and his devious 'Keep Kate' website designed really to promote his own late night Chicano chatter. Lopez is clev-ah.

Gosselin was slammed by the show’s judges, with Bruno's patented stink-eye wheeled out giving her the business, calling her "catatonic."

Dovolani expressed his frustration. “Kate has no motivation and I have to push her each week and it gets exhausting.”

Niecy, on the other hand, is having too much fun, and needs to click it down a bit because the thick girl of the show is wearing herself out with all her shenanigans and tomfoolery. Louis is like, dude, save that jazz for the Jive!

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger blew everyone away with her tango to “Pretty Woman,” with her partner, Derek Hough. Awesome makeup girls! The hardworking Emmy award winning makeup team really did a great job on her, Kate, Pam and Erin.

Nicole scored a 29/30 and made Bruno jump on Len, who probably never wants to go to Italy after working a season with Mr. Poker Face Tonioli.

Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya did a rhumba, Chad Ochocinco quickstepped with Cheryl Burke and received really low scores (18). Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy continued their flirty ways and got a 22 out of 30. Jake Pavelka and Chelsie Hightower received a 23 out of 30. Pamela Anderson and Damian Whitewood quickstepped to 21 out of 30 points.
