DWTS Season 13 Week 9

FINALLY, my beloved Argentine Tango!!! It's a little hard to watch anyone do the AT, though, after Maks and Erin's in season 10 that was THE.hottest.dance.EVER. I do wish that Hope knew how to find her sexy b/c she falls short with my man. Oh well, I think she's really done her best, she just truly doesn't get her hotness. That said, they're gonna have to go now, to pave the way for Rob & Cheryl, Ricki & Derek and my favorite couple, JR & Karina. OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE!!

Ok, let's back up. I don't know if I can even remember who danced what, but I'll try. We know that everyone danced the Argentine Tango and then they did a Cha Cha relay at the end. A VERY busy week for all the couples.

Rob & Cheryl did the Samba I think. They were pretty frickin on tonight, even with their fruity little Carnival float. She has done a fabulous job with him and he has just really blossomed. I'm so proud of him. He is no JR...or Maks...or Derek, but the boy really has made the most progress, I think. Their Argentine wasn't superb. It had all the elements and it was REALLY good, but it wasn't difficult per se.

JR & Karina did the stupid Paso Doble. The poor baby is injured in a big way and it was hard to see him there not smiling and happy. Still, though, he really did some good dancing and holy cold showers was their Argentine Tango HOT!! They have some great chemistry and I would LOVE to see Karina get her first mirror ball. I still feel she and Mario Lopez were totally robbed. In fact, I do believe I boycotted for a while after that.

Hope & Maks also did the Paso, an angry, pushy dance that I'm just not thrilled with. I don't hate it more than any other, but c'mon it's bullfighting...why would we want to see that on a dance floor? I think they did just fine. The judges were happy with it, for the most part, but I do believe that my man Maks's attitude has rubbed off some on miss Hope b/c boy did she ever bring her snarky!! Have I mentioned yet that I'm not sure we'll be seeing Maks, anymore? I hope I'm wrong b/c I so love watching him, but gosh he seems to *really* be rubbing everyone but Tom the wrong way lol! Their AT was also fine, sultry enough I suppose, but she is also suffering from a bad injury, with a blown shoulder, so she's had to limit what she can do.

Ricki & Derek have my daughter's heart. Actually, any couple comprised of Derek and anyone will always have her vote. Too bad I made her use all her phone calls for JR & Karina lol! I really did. Then she missed our time zone's cut off, trying to use her brother's phone. LOVE it! Ok, back to R & D. They did bring it. Not as much as JR & Karina last week, but they were awesome. Their AT was beautiful, but not nearly as hot as JR & Karina's, though they got a higher score. WHAT.ever. Also, at the end, with the group Cha Cha Cha, JR & Karina's was better, but NO, Ricki & Derek got a higher score. Go ahead, say it with me....WHAT.ever. I did think that Rob & Cheryl did a faboo job with theirs, though, and *maybe* earned the judges full score of 10? I'm not sure, really, but I think maybe. Oh, Ricki & Derek did a cute, cute Samba, too. My daughter wasn't impressed with the yellow canary outfits, but well, it was Derek, so she got over it. He is really quite a phenomenal choreographer and really just brings out everything inside of whomever he's dancing with. It's pure magic.

CANNOT WAIT for the finals next week. If my faves go home, though, I'm boycotting them, just so ya know. Seriously.

DWTS Season 13 Week 8 Instant Dance

As always, I'm way behind, I'll just hit ya with a quick summary and a spoiler, the second I can get it posted. This week, the stars had to learn the Jive as their instant dance and then one other dance. I think we saw the quick step, the waltz and the tango. And, again, I ask...what have they done with my smokin' hot Argentine Tango? BRING.IT.BACK.

First of all, WHY is Nancy Grace still there? WHO IN THE HECK IS VOTING FOR HER? I demand a recount.

Dancing first was Rob & Cheryl and I thought they did a fine job. He has really improved and the judges agreed with me. He won't make it to the mirror ball, but I do enjoy him.

Next up, Hope and Maks. Now, I didn't agree with the judges here. I don't know, but there is just something about her that doesn't work for me. She's gorgeous, got a body that won't stop and works super hard, but maybe it's the lack of chemistry with my man Maks that is the problem. Whatever it is, it's preventing them from reaching their full potential as a couple. Too bad, really.

Derek and Rikki, who were in first place last week, danced next. For some reason, I was less than over the moon with them, too. I really like them and they have good chemistry and a fabulous work ethic and omg she has gotten SKINNY, but it just didn't seem as perfect a performance as I was expecting. That's probably my fault b/c I know they are awesome and can do anything. Totally expecting them to stick around, though, and give my JR a run for his money.

Gah...Nancy and ::zzzzzz:: Tristan danced next. I guess it was ok...for a week four or five dance, maybe. They have less chemistry than I do with my front door. She acts the wretch, he acts the troll and I change the channel. BOR.ING. They've really got to go. I'm sorry, but we're in the bigs now and they haven't even advanced to little league.

AAAHHH be still my heart, the DANCERS were on the floor next. Oh my do I ♥ JR. Please don't tell me if you're sick of hearing me go on and on about him b/c I have to. His dancing is extraordinary. His charm is extraordinary. The stories told through their dance...yes, extraordinary. They danced the most beautiful waltz, I even watched it twice, and the waltz is definitely not a favorite of mine. Gorgeous form and interpretation and just...EVERYTHING. I don't want this season to be over, just so I can come back every week and watch him.

I didn't bother watching the instant dances b/c frankly, I didn't much care about them. I watched the highlights of everyone's jive, well, except for JR's, of course. He and Karina did not disappoint, not one bit and ended up with a PERFECT score of 60 for the night!! WOOHOOO!
