We were all missing Marky Mark afterthe Halloween festivities, and here he is.
Oprah was right breadisawesome.
Also, she once said something like Put your dreams out into the world and they will come true.

And by stepping, I mean dancing.
With The Ballas (and the rest of theJersey Boys) singing in the background, anything is possible.
Derek is certainly the most hopeful weve seen him in recent weeks.
Youre such a pusher, Derek!
That extra vote of confidence certainly seems to do the trick on the dance floor.
Im happy to see Bruno in a fabulous polka-dot suit.
Were all winners tonight.
Im not over it.
Ill never be over it.
You got to give it to Megatron, the guy is fully committed.
It pays off on the dance floor, too.
Having Leona Lewis sing live doesnt hurt either.
They deserve all the points, though, for that final spin.
Lindsay was a very slender ball of sparkle being tossed across the floor, and it was glorious.
Can it be 10 minutes long, like?
Okay, back to the competition.
It is a ballroom tragedy.
It especially hurts because once again, Sharna has put together a great routine for James.
This week, its allThe Wiz, all the time.
What doesnt get a pass, though, is the step James botches at the beginning of the routine.
But still, how sad would it be for James to get to the finale without his ride-or-die partner?
But seriously, Terra and Sashas Charleston definitely fulfills the promise of showstopper.
Terra decides to simply dance to her own best ability.
The girl comes out all big movements and even bigger smiles.
Terras performance value is so high in this routine.
After herBeetlejuicenumber, the judges wanted some new content from Terra and Sasha.
She Used to Be Mine pretty much guarantees tears upon hearing it.
Theres a full spectrum of emotion built into the song.
What I mean is, IM ALREADY CRYING.
Jana knows shes been given a gift, too.
This song perfectly sums up her journey onDWTS.
She started very broken, but each week has been a healing experience.
So shes obviously very worried when her partner through that journey ends up with a bum knee.
Call it the Sharna Syndrome.
Julianne calls the routine beautiful storytelling and Jana a truly authentic dancer.
Carrie Ann thanks Jana for sharing a part of herself out on the floor every week.
Now lets go eat our feelings with pie.
Lots and lots of pie.
ThatsDancing With the Stars101.
Its the secret to life, really.
The tango is sharp, sexy, and simply electric.
It shows off Lauries strength as well as her precision.
Our little human emoji has come a long way.
Im an even bigger Calvin Johnson Jr. fan.Aww, you guys.
Their friendship makes their cowboy-themed paso all the more entertaining.
Their no-partner-for-30-seconds bit is a highlight cape twirling never disappoints.
The judges all had fun watching the routine, too.
The last men standing in the competition are a good time!
They could tell James especially wanted some redemption for his first round.
Idina Menzel is all of us when she admits she really only saw how hot they both were.
Elphaba only speaks the truth.
Theyre both big performers, so a fun jazz routine is perfect for these ladies.
Theres Charleston, theres disco, theres Terra and Marilu pretending to be one giant woman under a dress.
Anything goes on Showstopper night, people.
The answer is two.
The second time gets a big assist from Laurie and the adorableness of their sisterhood.
Val and Gleb want the ladies to use their chemistry to really make this contemporary routine soar.
As Carrie Ann puts it, the sum was greater than the parts.
Laurie is all strength and technique and Jana is all emotion; together, it is an unbeatable combination.
Ugh, you guys.
Showstoppers Night is so much fun, do we really have to eliminate someone?
Two couples land in jeopardy: Marilu and Derek and Jana and Gleb.
The couple taking their final bow:Marilu and Derek.
And so, our five remaining couples move on to the Semi-Finals.
Its shaping up to be a good one.
