Hines Ward is still alive on Dancing With The Stars after dancing the rumba with partner Kym Johnson this week, but judges note that he should try to be a bit more adventurous:
↵↵↵Carrie Ann Inaba praised his talent but said he needs to start taking more risks.
↵Her colleague, Len Goodman agreed, and said "he's got to mix that [risk-taking] with his natural ability to come out and shine, and he's going to be awesome."

Judging from his routine this week, and with the caveat that I know less about dancing than a Mongolian goat herder knows about Grand Theft Auto, I think they're right. His routine this week was fine, but nothing terribly earth-shaking. Johnson is a whirling dervish, but Ward mostly just stands there watching her. He could do a lot more. And honestly, I felt like the patriotic theme was a bit much. Here's the video.
