DWTS: Week 2 Performance Results

This second week had a couple of surprises, most notably significant improvements in the performances of Jason, Shannon, Marissa, and Adam, each of whom saw their judge scores go up by three points (or, in Adam's case, four points). The only one whose score significantly dropped was Priscilla. She was unable to capitalize on her initial amazing performance, and wound up losing 3 points.


The stars scored as follows:
Jason: 27
Kristi: 27
Mario: 26
Marlee: 24
Shannon: 24
Priscilla: 21
Marissa: 21
Cristian: 20
Adam: 19
Penn: 17
Steve: 16
Monica: 15

This means that Lisa, Dawn, and I all gain 14 points for correctly pegging Kristi as the top scorer for the night. This impacts the standings as follows:

Standings

1st: Matt 1043 (+14)
2nd: Dawn 1022 (+14)
2nd: Lisa 1022 (+14)
3rd: Carl 1021 (+0)
5th: Kim 1008 (+0)
5th: Mom 1008 (+0)
7th: Paul 1000 (+0)

Tomorrow, the scores will change dramatically for the first time, as the first two stars will be eliminated. Monica seems like an obvious elimination among the women; she didn't have a particularly dynamic personality, and she scored lowest on both of her dances. The men's side is a little more dicey, with Adam, Penn, and Steve all scoring poorly.

Here are everyone's predictions:

Matt: Priscilla, Jason
Kim: Monica, Shannon
Lisa: Penn, Cristian
Carl: Adam, Jason
Dawn: Penn, Adam
Paul: Adam, Mario
Mom: Penn, Priscilla

Good luck, everyone!
