Take That, Len! When it was announced that John Ratzenberger was headed into the next round, his daughter Nina and the rest of his cheering section jumped to their feet and erupted into applause. Nina then pointed to judge Len Goodman as if to say "in your face!" and held up both hands to show the panel how she rates her old man: a perfect 10. Goodman laughed good-naturedly and mirrored the motion, giving her top scores for her familial support.
Apolo's Not-So-Secret Admirer: Comedienne Kathy Griffin, who had a front-row seat for Tuesday's taping, has her eyes on "sexy" Apolo Anton Ohno. "I would like to do Making Out with the Stars, a new series I'm pitching to him – and him alone – where it's just a show where he and I make out for an hour," she says. "There's not really a competition element. It would have a demographic of just me."
Keeping His Cool: Ian Ziering admits he gets cold feet before every performance – but it's not what you think. "I keep my shoes in the refrigerator because it feels so good," he says. Um, okay ... why? After working on the cha-cha during his first week of competition, Ziering says, "I iced my feet, so then I realized, Why don't I just stick my shoes in [the fridge]? It's kind of nice!"
Once in Motion, Always in Motion: Wasting no time, Cheryl Burke couldn't stop fidgeting as she mentally mapped out next week's paso doble while doing post-show interviews. "I'm already choreographing as you can see!" says Burke. "I can't stop moving!" Nor does she have time to pause. Burke has to teach partner Ian Ziering a new routine and help him through the steps for next week's group swing number. "There are 24 hours in the day, and we use up mostly all of them." But don't worry Mom, Cheryl still gets eight hours of sleep a night.

Homecoming Queen: "It was awesome," says season two semi-finalist Lisa Rinna of returning to the ballroom to give a sneak peek of her Broadway role as Roxie Hart in Chicago (starting June 19). "It feels like home." It seems that would make host Tom Bergeron the equivalent of the bullying big brother. After Rinna cried out to the crowd, "I'm so excited to be back. I just can't stand it!" Bergeron couldn't help rehashing the wardrobe malfunction from her waltz competition, telling her: "Just don't fall out of your dress!"
