Dancing with the Stars: The top 8 perform in Americana night

The dancers took on Americana night this week, which means we were treated to the spectacle of Ralph Macchio performing a samba/line dance hybrid to “Sweet Home Alabama” and Louis van Amstel dancing in full Uncle Sam regalia, complete with creepy beard. Fortunately, Hines Ward, Chelsea Kane, Romeo and Chris Jericho had stellar routines. Plus, miraculously, nothing went horribly wrong for Kirstie Alley this week. We were half expecting a bald eagle to swoop in and attack just to keep her disaster track record intact.
