Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya received a perfect score for their dramatic paso doble last night on "Dancing with the Stars," leaving them tied with Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough who performed their routine last week.
Bruno Tonioli called it a paso doble with passion.
Carrie Ann Inaba found it gutteral and powerful.
Len Goodman noted that the paso doble is a man's dance and the man should dominated and often it is difficult for the celebrity guy to dominate the professionals, but thought Lysacek had done a fantastic job.
Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who also performed the paso doble last night were almost perfect, receiving two tens.
Tonioli called Andrews a hot chick with an attitude and thought the performance was stunning.
Inaba thought Andrews had finally found her zone and was in her power. She also complimented Chmerkovskiy for his choreography.
Goodman was confused--go with the talent or go with the dance. He didn't think it was really a paso doble. This is perhaps why Andrews and Chmerkovskiy missed getting a perfect score.
