DWTS: Greene Close To The Edge

How much longer can Maurice go?

The competition to remain on ABC's Dancing With The Stars is steadily increasing with each passing week. This week, Maurice Greene and his partner, Cheryl Burke performed the Samba. The former Olympic 100-meter gold medalist proclaimed that “the samba’s the party dance but man, partying has never been this hard!”

During the practice sessions, Cheryl enlisted the help of Maurice's daugher to help relax her dad and have a little bit of fun. In the performance, Maurice danced to "That's the Way I Like It," in a big afro wig and generally the dance came off as fun, albeit he appeared to miss the beat on a couple occasions.

With that, Carrie Ann said that she felt he was “stuck in the same place” and he is developing as a dancer. Bruno commented that it was “not so fabulous” and that at this point in the competition, he wants to “see some precision” in the dances.

Len said that “that’s the way I sort of like it.” He thought Maurice got the “fun element” of the dance and that it was “fun to watch.” They had a score of 22 out of 30 points.

Phone lines, text votes (AT&T customers only) and online polls will open at the top of each performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites. Phone and text lines will remain open until noon (Eastern Time) on the day of the results show.
