Sabrina & Mark Cha Cha Cha

Since it's Todd's birthday today thought I would do a little bit of a video treat... granted he's already seen it on TV (twice!)... but it is worth another look!

Dancing With The Stars' Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas were on their "voted off" media tour and stopped by The View yesterday... coincidentally (or not!) enough, DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba was filling in as a guest co-host (the Hassel-bot is on maternity leave ... and apparently here in AZ no less!)!

For those of you who do not watch DWTS, this is a very good example of why we were smitten with Mark.  He's definitely in fine form here.  The video does drag on... including the entire post-dance interview... but the Cha Cha Cha to the Pussycat Dolls' Don't Cha is right near the start of the clip.

And to think this was their very first dance of the season!

I was a nerd and tried to figure out how Sabrina & Mark could have possibly been eliminated... honestly it doesn't take all that much!

The DWTS scoring is % of the judges votes + % of public votes. The team with the lowest sum is eliminated.   These were the scores and percentages from last week:

Mel & Maks 30 (16.7%)
Helio & Julianne 28 (15.6%)
Jennie & Derek 27 (15.0%)
Cameron & Edyta 25 (13.9%)
Sabrina & Mark 25 (13.9%)
Marie & Jonathan 23 (12.8%)
Jane & Tony 22 (12.2%)

With the judges' scores so close (as they pretty much always are!), Marie & Jane just had to get less than 2% more of the public vote to pass by the "stars" who were ultimately in last week's bottom 2... Cameron & Sabrina.
