Several of the Dancing with the Stars pros will perform at tonight's Race to Erase MS benefit in California, and Entertainment Tonight interviewed the pros as they rehearsed their routine.

Part of Project Runway 6 -- the show's first season on Lifetime -- will take place in Los Angeles.

Reality Blurred has a recap of last night's episode, and CBS.com has some illuminating videos from the Ponderosa. Eliza, Ozzy, and Jason were shocked when James -- IV bag in tow -- joined them on the jury bench because James had to spend his first several days in hospital after he was removed from the game. They hadn't been told about his removal before Tribal Council.

Based on Eliza's and Ozzy's reactions when Alexis got to Ponderosa, Parvati overestimated Alexis's chances of winning $1 million. Both favorites took offense to Alexis's assertion that she never lied in the game, calling her "delusional."
