Our 'Dancing with the Stars' correspondents Chuck Small and Lenni G will be back on the job for us with recaps throughout Season 12. Chuck gives us his thoughts on tonight's episode.

Preceded by a one-hour recap of Monday night, tonight's results show feels especially padded, with two musical guests (James Blunt and Nicki Minaj), Wayne Brady in the Macy's Stars of Dance segment and 17- year-old ballerina Patricia Zhou in a spotlight segment.

Tom Bergeron asks the judges what dance they want for the encore. (I actually wouldn't have been surprised to see Kendra/Louis.) The repeat dance goes to Team Chelsea, and the team does at least as well as the night before. But Mark Ballas continues to outdance his tmmates, and it gets old fast! Mark's not much of a team player.

We're "celebrating ballroom greatness," Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke say, in the introduction to tonight's episode. We'll see. Sixteen-time world professional Latin champion Donnie Burns is a guest judge, saying, "Nobody but nobody does show business like you Americans." (Fawn much?)

The remaining six competitors are dressed in teams in extremely garish outfits. Team Chelsea, evidently inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Barry's "Catwoman" outfits, are Chelsea Kane/Mark Ballas, Romeo/Chelsie Hightower and Ralph Macchio/Karina Smirnoff. Ralph is feeling fish out of water because he hasn't done the cha-cha yet and he's older than his teammates. Romeo and Chelsea are trying to help Ralph make the dance look sexy. Mark is pushing everyone to stay on the beat. Romeo and Chelsie are grinding a bit.

What has two one-hour parts, replays, 3 aging boy bands, replays, in-depth analysis with replays, an encore (aka replay), guest dancers, replays, a rejected Idol contestant, replays, and finally, two hours later, results! 

That would be DWTS, the Tuesday night extravaganza show.  I am just exhausted.  Let's cut to the chase . . .

I am so confused. Never in all my life have I thought of the brothers Hanson singing their immortal "MMMBop" as representative of "guilty pleasures". Well maybe it's the MMM part as in, "MMM, I love candy, both dark chocolate and eye." Let's move on.

So, it's "American Week" and the stars will be dancing to patriotic American songs. OK, sounds like a plan. At this point, I'm thinking we'll be seeing dances like the jive and the quick step.

And, I would be wrong. Well, mostly wrong.
