DWTS 14 Week 4 results: Less bubbly in the ballroom
There were celebrities that I would have rather seen leave first, but the fans have spoken and there will be fewer laughs and less bubbly in the ballroom of “Dancing with the Stars” season 14.
Week 4 (Rock Week) saw Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy leave the dance floor. Shepherd contributed far more to the fun of DWTS this season than say Melissa Gilbert and her partner showed her off better than Tristan does Gladys Knight.
Shepherd was also healthy while two other women are injured. Gilbert suffered a mild concussion last night. Maria Menounos injured a rib and now has a stress fracture in her foot. That could easily become a break and she can’t dance without being on her feet.
Most people probably expected Gavin DeGraw and his partner Karina Smirnoff to be eliminated. They had been in the bottom two the last two weeks. Yet they were told early on that they weren’t going home.
Of course, besides DeGraw one expected another celebrity to be in the bottom two, but not the celebrity who Carrie Ann Inaba has just labeled the best male dancer of the season. Yet it was Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower who were low on fan support.
If that Disney star wasn’t feeling audience love, another Disney star was. Kyle Massey was back on DWTS as part of a promotional performance for the new DWTS Live Las Vegas show. Massey competed with Lacey Schwimmer during season 11 in 2010. They finished second behind Jennifer Grey and Derek Hough.
Ballroom dance fans will recognize the song the piece the Las Vegas cast performed to because it was used in a famous ballroom routine by Max Kozhevnikov & Yulia Zagoruychenko.

DWTS 14 Week 4: Sherri Shepherd tangles with the tango (VIDEO)
On “Dancing with the Stars” season 14, Sherri Shepherd didn’t exactly rock Rock Week. While Shepherd showed she could light up the stage the first week with her foxtrot and even bring a little drama from her life with her rumba last week, this week the tango and her tangled.
That might have been partially the problem with Rock Week and also partially Val Chmerkovskiy’s strategy. They danced to ”Cum On Feel the Noize” by Quiet Riot. Her boots seemed to be too much for her because we know she can handle heels. She was able to rock it out on the judges’ table, but the steps on the ballroom floor were a bit wild.
Head judge Len Goodman commented that although he loved the start, the routine didn’t suit her bubbly personality. He thought she coped well, but that isn’t going to be enough with this tough field.
Bruno Tonioli asked her slyly “Voulez-vous coucher avec mois?” But he also felt her moves needed to be a bit sharper.
Carrie Ann Inaba agreed with Goodman saying that the routine lacked Shepherd’s usual exuberance. She thought Shepherd’s face was expressionless.
For the female fans, we did get to see Val’s chest and like Shepherd, we can fully appreciate it. Did you like the tattoo across Val’s chest?

DWTS 14 Week 3: Sherri Shepherd rumbas
It was hard to believe that transformation in Sherri Shepherd from happy and bouncy to serious and dramatically emotional in her rumba.
Her story was about the birth of her premature son. She and Val Chermerkovskiy danced to ”If I Could” by Regina Belle.
Len Goodman thought she did a great job and her triple spins were good.
Bruno Tonioli felt it was very well expressed.
Carrie Ann Inaba felt Shepherd was “so true to herself.”

DWTS 14 Week 3 results: A gentleman leaves the ballroom
With five out of 11 teams tied for the bottom spot, it was a hard call this week on “Dancing with the Stars.” Consider that no one scored below 20 this week so the competition was tough. There was the indie musician Gavin DeGraw, the TV icon Melissa Gilbert, the Empress of Soul Gladys Knight, the bubbly talk show host Sherri Shepherd and the singer and soap opera actor Jack Wagner.
- Gavin Degraw and Karina Smirnoff: 24 (8, 8, 8)
- Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 24 (8, 8, 8)
- Gladys Knight and Tristan McManus: 24 (8, 8, 8)
- Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy: 24 (8, 8, 8)
- Jack Wagner and Anna Trebunskaya: 24(8, 8, 8)
Consider that Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy had the lowest average with 21. 3 for three dances, but DeGraw and his partner Karina Smirnoff were on a little bit ahead with 21.7. Gladys Knight, the oldest contestant, and her partner Tristan MacManus had a 22 point average. Not bad for a lady who sang while the Pips danced. Of the five, this team had the lowest score–a 19 during week 2.
Jack Wagner and Anna Trebunskaya had a 22.7 average and were behind Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy who had a 23.3 average. But average scores don’t really count during the eliminations. Fan voting does.
At the end of the night it was Jack Wagner and his partner Anna Trebunskaya who were eliminated. Wagner had his own style and wasn’t a bad dancer–there are not really bad dancers this season. He had a tendency to raise his shoulders instead of keeping them down and serene. He didn’t have crisp kicks and flicks in his jive. He didn’t snap his legs to their full extension and his hands were somewhat awkward. His arms didn’t transition with fluidity. He sometimes overdanced, but in another season, he would have had time to overcome that.
For me, it was a real toss up between Wagner and DeGraw, but DeGraw has that awkward puppy charm and his fans obviously came through last night.
DWTS routines
Jack Wagner and Anna Trebunskaya:
Week 1: Foxtrot to ”Sugar Town” by Nancy Sinatra 23 (8, 7, 8)
Week 2: Jive to ”Gimme Some Lovin” by The Spencer Davis Group 21 (7, 7, 7)
Week 3: Samba to “Lighting Up the Night” by Jack Wagner 24 (8, 8, 8)
The samba is a touch dance for most men (maybe not William Levy) because it requires a lot of hip movement and straight knee to flexed knee. Len Goodman thought it was his best dance. His timing was much better. Wagner’s personal story was finding his biological 23-year-old daughter last year.
