Finally sitting down to watch the show on the DVR. Again I missed watching it live and being able to vote afterwards. Oh well.
Tonight’s Tango & Jive night. Should be interesting.
Goodie, Marlee’s up first. I love her dresses and tonight’s my favorite one so far.
The girl can jive! Love the under arm passes. Len & Bruno are still just “omg can’t believe you can do this and so well!”. Carrie Ann’s the only one to actually focus on the dance.
And my other favorite is next up so that’s great for me.. my favorites are up first.
Oh man… the slash lover in me just really had fun watching the rehearsal segment where Anna’s gorgeous husband Jonathan steps in for her. Apparently she was really sick.
Tango for Steve and it looks good. Nice finish with her sliding under his leg like that. Hmm what’s this? HAHAH goofball! He needed “to prepare” for the judges. He went and got a metal bowl and goggles and put them on his head.
Cool! The judges all thought he did really well this week. Hope that translates into a decent set of scores. I don’t think he’s gotten a 7 yet? And he just got all 7s! Definitely his best!
BTW the “Gute” really loves his parents. If you can’t tell, every opening sequence where the camera pans over the stars, he always mouths “Hi Mom & Dad”.
Too good to be true? I don’t care. I enjoy him.
It’s downhill from here for me because everyone else is “the competition” for my people.
Cristian’s next which means jive for him. Interesting rehearsal segment, they went for the cute factor and had Cristian “learn” jive from a sea lion.
He flubbed the landing on the leap that opened his dance but the rest looked good. His facial expressions were a little off. But considering how hard the jive is and that he had 5 days to learn it.
Whoa… 8,8,9! It looked good but was it really THAT good? Interesting
Shakes up the competition a little.
Mario with the tango. It’s funny to see how the “stars” are having to fit dancing practice in their regular schedule.
Wow, first time the judges have ripped someone apart this season but Mario’s been on top so mistakes are going to get pointed out. I had thought his dance was off a little esp in the corner and nice to see that I did catch it.
Shannon with the jive. Ok have to say it. Not a fan of that dress. The fringe is too long and is very distracting… in a bad way.
I think the dance went well, just a little wobble at the end when she spun into place for the finish.
And the judges concur. I agree with Carrie Ann’s comment about Shannon constantly surprising with her improvement. But really, you could say that about everyone so far.
Shannon’s scores: 8,8,8! Nice! I’m happy for her though this puts her above Marlee who got all 7s.
Adam with the tango. I bet Adam was happy. I can’t quite see him doing the jive. I would have liked to see Steve do it but perhaps just as well he didn’t either.
Ok it’s just to weird to see Julianne with the wig. Hey! I think they’re cheating a little…. she’s doing most of the steps. He gets to just stand there while she does the dance. But he did actually dance and did quite well.
EWWWW! Carrie ANN! “Adam Carolla was sexy out there” !!!! Ahh well he did look good out there. Hahaha Len points out that Julianne was hiding Adam’s lack of finesse in the choreography.
Aww… Adam got 7s too. Which puts him neck & neck with Steve. I feel sorry for Julianne because I find Adam boorish, not funny.
Marissa with the jive and I agree with Tony that its a good dance for her. I love the music for her performance. I need to look that up later. I think her dance is really good and I notice that she kept her free arm & hand up a lot. That’s something the judges are often calling people out for.
Wow, I’m a little surprised at the judges unanimously ripping her for “not going all out” and being “too careful”.
Oh please… what’s with all the blatant advertising, Jonny & Natasha from Eli Stone just happen to be in the audience? Ugh.
Wow Marissa’s really reminding me of Bette Midler in her pre-score interview. And she gets the worst score of the night 6,7,6. Well as much as I like Marissa…. I’m happy because that means Steve has a chance of staying in the game for another round.
Priscilla for the tango and finally someone puts a little sultry fire into the dance. And again the judges echo that.
OOOOH the commercials included one for a new movie I hadn’t heard about til this moment, Nim’s Island. It looked really good and I love the cast: Abigail Breslin & Jodie Foster!
And Priscilla moves into the top of the ranking with 8,9,9. We’ll see if Kristi can knock her into 2nd place.
Jason with the jive. Points to his partner for the skimpiest dress of the night. It’s basically a bikini with fringe…. lots of it. I peg this dance to hit in the middle of the rankings, with a little lean towards the up. And it’s 8,7,8.
Kristi looks very good in that black & red combo which suits her tango very well. Looks very good but just a little cold in the emotions. Which the judges also point out. But they give her all 9s for the 3rd week in a row anyways. Which I can’t find fault with because like they said, the technical is superb.
Oh Steve & Marlee, you need to STEP IT UP! Both of you wound up low on the totem pole tonight but hopefully neither of you will get eliminated tomorrow night. *crosses fingers*
