It was very very lyrical and what I like to call a Lyrical  Samba. I think the issue was that Evan is 6&#8217;2 and most of the time that  just doesn&#8217;t lend itself to make it easy to samba. He was very technical  but it wasn&#8217;t a samba. I think Evan will stay but Samba just isn&#8217;t his  dance. Its quite alright. Every winner of the show has had one (or even  more in some cases) dance that just doesn&#8217;t work for them. Samba is  Evan&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>The best Samba was Erin Andrews and Maks while the worst was Jake and  Chelsie. The best Argentine Tango was done by Pam and Damian. I thought the worst was Chad and  Cheryl.<\/p>\n<p>__________<\/p>\n<p><em>Figure Skaters Online strives to be an accurate source of   information related to the sport of figure skating.
