'Dancing With the Stars': Kirstie Alley, Maksim Chmerkovskiy's 'hot' tango
"Your feet are very slow so move your a**. And by your a**, I mean your feet."And quote of the night goes to Maksim Chmerkovskiy! Maks said this to his "Dancing With the Stars" celebrity partner Kirstie Alley on Monday, May 9. Kirstie and Maks were at the bottom of the leader board last week and were in danger of going home, which the judges attributed to her lackluster jive. "The pressure is on," Kirstie said.
Kirstie suffered a few falls during rehearsals due to her dieting. After her second fall (off a three-step platform), Maks asked how many calories she has been eating. "1,400 calories," she said before Maks suggested she eat more. After their performance, Kirstie said, "I wasn't intentionally not eating. I forgot!"
Luckily, all of their hardships paid off as the audience loved their aggressive Argentinian tango. But what did the judges think?
Len Goodman: "The tango is all about creating a mood. You've only got eyes for one another, there's no one else in the room; you guys captured that feeling. It was hot!"
Bruno Tonioli: "Fabulous. Sensual. Sultry. A hint of aggression. Just the right of passion. Your footwork was brilliant. Your body is shrinking, your talent is huge!"
Carrie Ann Inaba: "With this performance, I felt like I was watching real-life acted out in front of me. The real passion, the real chemistry, the real drama, all unfolding. It's very nice to see that from you. Your cha cha was your best, but I think you just topped your cha cha."
Carrie, Len scored the couple with 9s with Bruno awarded their "sultry" tango with a 10. It was the couple's first 10 of the season.

Embarassingly overscored, just like every dance she's done. The judges definitely have an agenda where Kirstie Alley is concerned.
Solid Argentine Tango overall. Not overscored at all in relation to some other scores dished out tonight.
Kirstie was completely overscored. She always is, and it is a shame that legitimately more talented dancers go home because of her. That dance deserved 8's at best, a 10 is ridiculous.
Kirstie is a GOOD dancer. The judges are not giving her any breaks. The routines she and Maks do have a lot of real dance content not just tush jiggling and time wasting poses. Romeo does very little dancing but get scores he really does not deserve. Watch the star, particularly their feet and you will see that Kirstie is good.
Kirstie was not overscored. She & Maks both did a great job tonight, and I hope she is in the finals & wins it all.
BRAVO , BRAVO KIRSTIE YOU DID IT . ALL THE WAY .MAKS AND YOUWILL SHOW US THAT WOMEN AGE HAS NOTHING TO DO IN A CONTEST.
Kirstie isn't being overscored. The dancers consistently overscored, no matter how they dance, are Romeo, Ralph and sometimes Hines. Chelsea is consistently being underscored.
