Helio and Julianne nail it on ’Dancing with the Stars’

UPDATE After their dynamite performances last night, Helio and Julianne have advanced to the semifinals next Monday night, November 19. The show will air at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC. They will be competing against three other couples in the penultimate round of 'Dancing with the Stars.'

11/12/07 Helio danced absolutely fantastic tonight on 'Dancing with the Stars'! He and Julianne received the top combined score of 57 (out of a possible 60) from the judges tonight. Their first dance was the paso doble. Helio was dressed as a matador and the dance had a lively bullfight theme. He and Julianne really nailed the quickstep they did for their second dance. They received the only perfect score of 30 from the judges tonight for that dance, and the audience gave them a standing ovation! Helio had a big cheering section in the studio audience. He wore a yellow suit and big yellow hat for the quickstep, and one of the judges said he looked like a dancing banana! But the other judge said Helio had the "finish line in sight." We think Helio could pull this off and win the championship!
