Sooo....going into this week, Ralph 'be my karate kid' Macchio rocks my world, but, honestly, it has been so entertaining, I sit there for a minimum of two hours each week with a silly grin plastered on my face, from ear to ear. First to dance this week was Sugar Ray (the boxer, not the singer) and Anna. Mind you, he is no spring chicken, but boy can he shake his hips, move his feet and light up the room with his smile. He is really enjoying what he is doing out there. They did the jive and, yeah, he was a little stiff and needs to open up just a bit, but still an overall ok dance. I can do without Anna, especially with her little 'I'm trying to emulate Maks' attitude, but I don't hold it against Sugar Ray.
Next up was Kendra Wilkinson and Louis dancing the quick step. I'm sorry, but she needs to go. I get the feeling the judges want to love her, but she just doesn't do much for me. Ok, she's not horrible, there are definitely worse dancers and she does try, but I don't want to hear any more about her playboy bunny, stripping, soccer playing days, for crying out loud. I agree with Bruno, it was too tight and there were many missteps, but I sure did love the solo moves they busted out at the end. Kendra really did shine in that moment.
Third to dance was Disney star Chelsea Kane and Mark, doing the jive. Now, Chelsea was an early favorite for me. They were in a tough spot, having to dance first in the first week, and they set such a great tone and set the bar high, in my not so humble opinion. Plus, she is just so full of energy and has that fun sparkle in her eyes! This week, though...MARK, my man, what in the world was up with that funky choreography and those costumes? Their timing sucked at the beginning, too. Bruno called it Marcel Marceau in A Clockwork Orange and he LIKED THAT? Shoot me now, I'm in druggie mime hell!! UGH!
Chris Jericho (some wrestler I am totally unfamiliar with) and Cheryl Burke did the quickstep and TOTALLY rocked it!! Dude found some serious charm over the past week, wowza!! I was so entertained, SO impressed! The goofy grin was in full force during their dance.
Next up with the jive was Petra Nemcova and Dmitry. I'm not sure I'm altogether fascinated with her dancing, but she is such a precious soul. I was telling my friend that I just want to protect her. She's been through so much and is just such a darling and tries so hard! I really think she's too tall, gorgeous and a little stiff for the jive, but I'm not really holding the dance against her because I'm not much of a fan of Dmitry.
Middle of the pack we have Kirstie Alley and my oh my Maks doing the quickstep. I'm very surprisingly enjoying Kirstie's dancing. Maks is a miracle man, I tell ya, but um WHAT was that kiss on his lips all about? Step off, woman. She mentioned that she has to lose 40 pounds...hhhmmm....oookie.
Mike Catherwood (another unknown, which I am perfectly fine with) and Lacey danced next. While he did improve with this jive, his dancing is most definitely not faboo. Something the fans agreed with, evidently, since he's been voted off.
Definitely NOT lil, anymore, Romeo and Chelsie Hightower were up next with the quickstep. I think it was Carrie Ann who said he had sex appeal for days...whooboy, ain't THAT the truth?! He seems a little smug, though, huh? Guess he knows it. Well, that's ok, he's nice to watch, so whatever. I don't even remember how well he performed the dance...did he dance? LOL! I'm sure it must've been good.
Wendy Williams and Tony also did the quickstep. There is just something peculiar about her. I can't put my finger on it, but I swear she looks masculine, acts masculine...I don't know. I'm saying, something is off up in there. What was Tony thinking dressing her up the way he did? None of that performance worked for me. I appreciate how hard she seems to be trying, but girlfriend is definitely not long for that show.
Ralph MMM MMM Macchio and Karina did the jive and ya know, Mr. Miyagi and I are darn proud!! Plus, he fixed that old man hairdo he was sportin last week, so yay! All the critiquing from the fiber lacking peanut gallery aside, *I* thought he was wonderful. Dancing, standing in place, whatever, it works.
Ok, the last couple to dance must've danced into happyambienlalaland because I seriously have ZERO recollection of them dancing. Evidently, he made an impression...here is the note I wrote...they like his flirting oh yeah it's working! The chemistry, the sizzle, totally in synce...I'm LOVING them!! Okie dokie then.
There ya have it! Can't wait until next week!
