PAMELA ANDERSON AND DAMIAN WHITEWOOD: QUICKSTEP
Pam's 9 to 5-inspired dress was so buttoned-up, she had to dance atop a table to get attention.

EVAN LYSACEK AND ANNA TREBUNSKAYA: RUMBA
Their movie was Armageddon, but I would not have been shocked in the least if the orange-hued Evan was supposed to be an Oompa-Loompa and Anna was, like, the tattered navy lining of Willy Wonka's tremendous violet coat. Oompa-Loompa doompadee do, I've got another nuzzle for you....

CHAD OCHOCINCO AND CHERYL BURKE: QUICKSTEP
To really be faithful to The Jungle Book, Chad could have worn red trunks like Mowgli and Cheryl could have dressed in gray fur to be Baloo, the happy-go-lucky bear who teaches the man-cub that ''Mother Nature's recipes'' do not include giant bling-rings and repeated attempts to woo one's dance partner into an increasingly awkward showmance.

Big: Everett Collection

BROOKE BURKE: PIANO WOMAN

ERIN ANDREWS AND MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY: JIVE

JAKE PAVELKA AND CHELSIE HIGHTOWER: CHA-CHA
Don't try to take Jake to a disco. You'll get the Tom Cruise-in-Risky Business impersonator out on the floor, but he won't be wearing pants.
