Soooo...right outta the gate I'm sayin that ole Nancy cannot leave soon enough and unless Rob Kardashian learns how to move, his stage right may be sooner than Nan's.
First off to dance this week is Hope (WTH do they find all these cover girl athletes??) and my man Maks dancing the jive-not my favorite dance-so we'll see what happens. Right off the bat, some timing issues, but it *is* a hard dance, hope the judges don't hate b/c I still like them. Len loves it? OK, there's the mention of the timing, but hey, it's the truth. That's right, he says what he sees. HHMMMPPPFF! Well, judges say nothing surprising, though I think she has such potential and dangit, do NOT vote off my man. Scores, eh, I'm not sure I think they were fair...not sure I think they were so unfair. They got 19.
Kristin and Mark next dance the quick step, also not a fave of mine ::sigh:: I've really seen some that have had me on my feet rooting, though, so I expect no less of these two. OK, well, I was about to fall asleep in the opening minute of it, but then it really grew on me. Plus, her smile is really contagious and they have great chemistry, no? Bruno was right on about the ending, but it did end up sorta being comical. All in all, I'm quite pleased with their dance, but I actually find myself sorta agreeing with Len, AGAIN. Huh? Alternate universe?! Their scores better be fair. Yep, yep I'm all good with the scores. You?
The next jive is David and Kym. I don't even know how technically correct it was b/c I got lost in the music and energy, but YES exactly what Carrie Ann said-the enthusiasm just hung out and YES YES please move those hips dude. I'm rooting for him. I think he could use some more of this discipline in his life. Go David. I mean, don't be pushing MY faves out, but let's bring him back for a few more weeks, ok? Ok. Scores were fair, it may come down to the callers to keep him around.
Elisabetta & Val have to do a quick step and I swear listening to and watching those two act like a couple of prima donnas is going to make me break out in some kind of accent. Gawd. Yikes...ice queen much? I admit that I'm not so familiar with the Italian nuances, but I dunno, she's just rubbing me the wrong way. Lamborghini? Seriously, Bruno? Whatevs. I'm with Len and Len only this time. The dance was better than last week and, sure, it was an ok dance, not horrible, but I'm not loving them. The scores were fair at 21.
Next up, Rob & Cheryl with the jive. Ok, is it me or does he seem to be dancing to a different song? What's with the standing O? He doesn't seem to be at all excited by the music, he does not feel it in his soul. Were the judges watching the same dance? HHHMM, maybe *I* was watching a different performance than everyone else in the country? LOL! I will give him one thing...it was an improvement, but I'm still tryin to go to sleep while he's dancing. And, hello, I am NOT watching DWTS to have him psychoanalyzed by Brooke. PPFFFTTT! Ok, I do agree with the scores...21 was fair.
Carson and Anna are doing the quick step next. Admittedly, the freakish music and costumes fit Carson like a well loved T, but none of it is really working for me. They have fun and Carson has heart, but heart won't win that beloved mirror ball trophy, sorry. LOL, love Len's backhanded compliment...the worst dancers are the most entertaining to watch. Well, I'm done with them, let's move on to some dancers, shall we?! Oh...score was 18.
Ricki & Derek are dancing a jive, which I'm excited to see. OMG holy hot dances!!! Derek just brings out the smokin' hot in every lady who is lucky to be paired with him, right?! Len, DUDE? COME ON, we've been simpatico all night up until now. Heck yeah, Carrie Ann and Bruno, it was the best jive of the night. They seriously rocked my world! Their score of 23 was ok, but boohiss on Len's 7.
Next up, Chaz & Lacey with their quick step. I wasn't sure how well this was gonna go, given Chazzy boy's (thanks Carrie Ann) issues with his knees and it seems my concerns weren't unfounded. Like Bruno said, it's a QUICK step, it's supposed to be fast. I do appreciate his likeability and smile in spite of the pain, but, technically, it wasn't superior, ya know? Score was fair at 17.
Next to dance and at the top of the leader board last week (with JR), we have Chynna & Tony dancing a jive. Another couple I really like. She's a fabulous dance with fabulous chemistry and natural ability. I think I might agree with Carrie Ann and it seemed like she held back. Score of 21 was pretty fair, I think.
Ay ya, Nancy & Tristan. That about sums it up. No bueno. I felt like he was pulling her around the dance floor. Len is NUTS. It's past his bed time and it shows in his lack of vision. I'm trying to feel for her, but I'm sorry it feel a bit like rooting for the poor piranha. So, um WTH...SERIOUSLY W.T.H. Len gave her an EIGHT??? They got an overall score of 21??? Flippin sympathy scores and I'm just ticked off now.
The last dancers, JR & Karina shared the leader board with Chynna & Tony last week and this week have to do the jive and oh yeah LOVE THEM!! I have my top three now....JR, Chynna and Ricki (ugh, where's my man Maks, maybe I better revise that), not necessarily in that order, but omg the voters better bring them back. He is so full of energy and awesome and to heck with the lift and Len just has to shut it. For real. So glad I'm not listening to anymore of his late night gibberish b/c he's making me cranky. GOOOOOO JR!!!! Score was 22. I personally think they should've tied for first, again, but maybe I'm biased. Now, to get through to vote. Let me at 'em!!
