First to dance was Rob and Cheryl doing a cha-cha. Don't ask me why, but I find myself really rooting for him. I don't have any delusions about him finishing in the top of the pack and that's fine b/c I have another guy in mind, but I just kinda like him. I do agree with the judges, the dance was adequate, but too starchy. I think this really challenges him, but he's working so hard, let's bring him back. His score was 22.
Next up, we have Nancy and Tristan (neither whom I can stand even a little) doing a foxtrot. Gosh, I want to just hit her. She gives women everywhere a bad name! I felt like they ended well, but the first 2/3 of the dance did NOTHING for me. A showstopper? PPPFFFTT, I think NOT. I was watching a different foxtrot than the one that Carrie Ann and Bruno were watching. I'm with Len, the footwork sucked (ok my words, not his) and hello it's DANCING, shouldn't that be a requirement?!! Carrie Ann gave her a NINE?? WTH? Their score was a RIDICULOUS 24.
Up next, David and Kim dance a quickstep to We Go Together, from Grease. Finally, a song and a dance that work together, not against each other. Their timing was a bit off today, like the judges said, but I still think it was fun. Poor David just has too much energy for his own good. ADD much, dude? They scored a 23.
Ricki and Derek kill the place with their quickstep. WOW!! I'm tryin to sign up to dance with Derek, someday. Oh please oh please! The choreography was fabulous, the chemistry fabulous, everything FABULOUS!! I predicted they'd get a 29, which they did, so the heat is on JR and Karina, who were atop the leader board last week.
Next is Chaz and Lacey doing a tango, something I didn't think would go well and, though I didn't feel it was their worst dance, it left a lot to be desired, mostly the sizzling heat that should come from that dance. Speaking of which, how come we haven't seen the Argentine Tango this season? What gives? Oh, their score was a sad 19. I'm sorry, but he just really shouldn't be there, at this stage of the game.
Now we go to Hope & my man Maks, who was seriously out of control with his attitude tonight, even for him. He can totally boss me around any day, but wow I wonder if they'll be keeping him around. His ego is a little um...large. They danced a rumba and I just didn't think it was soooo awful and I guess the judges disagreed with me. Hope has beautiful form and, no, she's not a superior dancer, but the girl is an athlete and isn't she there to LEARN to dance? She's improving and she's not horrible, so give her a break. I think they were too hard on her, but maybe I just like her b/c she's prettier than Chaz lol! Their score of 20 was absurd, though, seriously.
Last to dance was JR and Karina and O.M.G. did they ever bring it!! I was so stinkin entertained watching their quickstep, a dance I don't like, in case I haven't mentioned it this season, I was yelling and smiling the whole time. I ♥ JR in a huge way!! They brought the house down in style and I have high hopes for those two. They got a score of 29, tying them for first with Ricki an Derek, but they were definitely the performance of the night and should've gotten that 30.
Oh...last LAST to dance was the entire group, doing a fun little group dance, which was fun to watch, but I'm not entirely sure of the point of the whole thing?
