Image Credit: Kelsey McNeal/ABCWelcome back, DANCMSTRs! It’s week 4, and the ballroom has been transformed for the series’ first-ever Acoustic Week! The contestants have traipsed through the audience instead of down the technicolor stairs, Corky Ballas has adopted Nicole Scherzinger’s “hang loose” hand gesture to show he is ready to go, and Bristol Palin forgot to put on pants! It’s going to be a Week 4 like never before!
Anyway, I need to go focus on the show. Come back in the morning for my full recap. [UPDATE: Click here, as my full recap is liiive!] Discuss the week 4 performances of Dancing With the Stars here and nominate your Hidden Gems of the Week in the comments. And don’t miss Derek’s weekly EW.com check-in!

No one cares about this crap.
You obviously cared enough to comment.
I’m waiting for American Idol!!!
Let’s go, LOL — time to nominate your gems!
Were you on vacation last week?
Well I errr…think that ummmm….I tried ahhh….my best and ummmmm….it was like errrr….hard to learn how ummmm….to lift her without ahhhhh….dropping her and ummmm….she’s still in aaaaaa…one piece so ummmm……
Somebody PLEASE teach this illiterate situation how to speak like a normal human being without an ummmm, errrr, ahhhh between every 3 words!!!
I miss chimes lady!
Me too. Violin Lady is getting lots of camera time though, and she’s nice and all, but she’s so…stoic. Where’s the enthusiasm, Violin Lady??
She’s Thoroughly Professional Violinist who this week had to sit next to Andre’ Rieu after he escaped from PBS.
Judge judy in the audience!
I thought that was her!
where?
Hidden gem: lady finger brushing/combing her hair after Brooke threw back to Tom after Anna and Kurt’s scores.
Hidden gem alert – the guy behind Len who looks like Joe Biden in a grandpa sweater
Disturbing Hidden Gem: Sitch flexing his pecs (one at a time) while Kurt and Ana spoke with Brooke.
OMG!! I noticed that too! Too funny!
Darn it! You beat me to it!
He needed to show his pecs. Maybe he was giving us a tease the first 3 weeks before he exposed them on the 4th week on Monday.
thank you!! haha…caught that, too!
The Situation flexing his two pectoral (not at all hidden) over tanned gems behind Kurt and Anna as they received their scores.
Hidden Gem: The Situation making his Pecs dance behind Kurt and Anna!!
Did anyone else see the Situation back there making his pecs dance when Kurt & Anna got their scores.
The Situation making his pecs “dance” while Kurt and Anna were getting their scores.
What was the song that Brandy just danced to?
This woman’s work
Maxwell’s song, This Woman’s Work
From the movie “She’s having a baby” with Kevin Bacon
Thanks! Couldn’t place the song but I love that movie! Speaking of songs, what was that terrible cartoony tango music that poor Cheryl and Rick had to dance to? Wow, bad music can really affect the whole dance cause usually Cheryl is great at the Argentine tango and manages to make all her partners look good!
The Situation’s rapid flexing of his boob muscles during Anna and Kurt’s scores.
Christopher Knight and Adrienne Curry in the audience.
I cannot believe those two are still together… !
I can’t believe it either. But I’m happy that they are.
I can’t believe she’s there to support Florence. Flo wasn’t too happy w/this marriage (I actually watched their VH-1 show)
It’s not something I’m proud of, BTW
I immediately thought oh I bet one of them wants to be on next season!
I thought they had already reached out to Adrienne at one point but how many reality shows can Chris Knight be on? Will they see if he loses more weight on DWTS than he did on Celebrity Fit Club?
“When it’s time to change
It’s time to re-arrange
Who you are into what you’re gonna be”
Not so hidden — but The Situation flinging Karina on the couch during rehearsals.
During Bruno’s critique of Rick’s dance….there was a guy in the audience flapping his hands kind of challenging Rick to a dance off
Then he flashed the peace sign….obviously aware of this little game we play here
