Samantha Harris is back, and looks great! But really, we'll miss little Drew Lachey. He was just too adorable with the backstage interviews (and sometimes awkwardness). Now that we're in the heat of the competition (and harder dances), it'll be interesting to see if anyone starts breaking out of the pack this week.

Mark Cuban was up first. Now, he's looking okay, but the thing is, he can't really get all that flashy because of his injury. He's trying hard, I'll credit him that, but I don't think he'll be lasting very long. His 22 was good, but pretty much everyone who's left has scored in the low 20's or above, so he may just be on the low end.

Next was Sabrina Bryan, who always looks hot, and gets hotter every week. She overcame her hip-hop instincts early and has blazed the way for the ladies to dominate this season's competition. And to top it off, she got the first perfect 30 this season. Can the girl do no wrong?

Jane Seymour is so good with her posture and lines that you forgive her for sometimes shoddy footwork. But then there was the lift controversy, which didn't really matter anyway, because the replay wasn't so good, and how did we start using Instant Replay into Dancing With The Stars anyway? In the end she got a 26 for her elegance, which is one more vote for her being the Dark Horse.

I feel for Floyd Mayweather, I do. For being a not-heavyweight boxer, he's not as graceful on his feet as one would expect. And I'm sure being in the bottom two last week got to him, because he walked out on the interview. He looks like he's getting a little better, but it doesn't seem like enough. His 23 is a good score for him, but that doesn't mean he still won't be in the bottom two.

Mel B. pulled out another great dance with Maks. But besides that: America keep Scary Spice in! That means next week we get to see Maks get attacked by all the Spice Girls when she takes him to London! Not that Mel B. leaving was really going to be an issue, because her 26 was plenty of score to keep her. That, and America loves her.

Cameron Mathison. Did you really have to dance to the Superman theme? It seems kind of silly. But hey, when you actually danced your ass off while having a full-time shooting schedule on a soap, you can give the guy a bit of a break. Especially when he hurt his hip earlier in the day. Go on with your bad self and your 27, man.

You know what, I'm beginning to warm up to Marie Osmond. There was an annoyance factor with her that's slowly melted away every week that she's gotten better. And this week, she showed some restraint which was refreshing to see. And the judges liked her, giving her a 26.

There's been a lot of talking about what's been a lift and not a lift, and Jennie Garth was no exception. Even so, once again: adorable. Ian Ziering, and the rest of us, love her. She got a solid 27 for her cuteness.

And Helio Castoneves. He's such a charmer, and he learns so fast that it's really endearing to watch him every week. Him and Julianne are a great combo together, and he has to be the guys' best shot at winning this season. And we all lurve him, especially when he gets a 27.
