Dancing With The Stars, Season 12, Performance Week 4

Ralph & Karina  (25/30)–Their waltz was set to the theme from Romeo and Juliet.  Ralph was angry in rehearsal about last week’s bad showing, and determined to be sexier in his waltz. Karina seemed to prepping us for her Playboy spread by coming darn close to a nip slip in their footage.  Wearing a halter pantsuit with no bra will do that.  Naturally, I spent the whole dance staring at Ralph’s hands, and I think he improved them greatly this week.  I also bought their theme, which was essentially to re-enact the tragic ending of Romeo and Juliet, but with a lovely 90 second dance break.  They finally managed to eek out some genuine chemistry!  The queen of spatula hands, Paula Abdul, was in the audience, and liked it a lot.  Bruno loved it, including the lines through his fingers.  Carrie Ann was like me, swept up in the moment.  Len said Ralph was back!
