Dancing the Stars: Final Results

Posted By: admin On: November 25, 2009 Comments: ( 0 )

All of our stars are back. They are all wearing familiar outfits from the past. Awww, Louis and Chelsie are BACK together. I completely forgot that Kathy Ireland was on here as was Ashley Hamilton. They form two lines as the 3 finalist walk through slapping hands. Wonder who won? Hmmm?

We get a recap of last night which I am going to fast forward through because I just watched it.  More recaps and backstage confessionals…but now Whitney Houston. Wow her voice is low these days. Got some nice legs though.

Jeff Ross is back talking about the Loser’s Club - those voted off the show first and there is only way to get in the club is to suck. haha! He is going to welcome Ashley Hamilton into the Loser’s Club. Jeff called him by far the worst dancer he’s ever seen. Ashley keeps saying thank you and that he learned it from him. He’s back dancing with Edyta. Jeff is standing on the sidelines while he drops Edyta and they prance around the stage in hold. Oh that’s right - Jeff was also partnered with edyta. They end by opening their jackets and shirts to reveal some white bellies.

We are now taking a trip back in time to the first three weeks of the competition. We see some humdingers and some good ones. Back on the floor is Kathy Ireland and Tony Dovolani. She’s super tall. Macey Gray and Jonathon Roberts are now dancing. She is so eccentric. Maks and Debi are up now and not doing too bad. Too bad she couldn’t do this when being judged. haha!

Next we are looking back at the flu week where all the pros were sick oh and Don too. Why does Don always have to be involved? Anyways, dancing the Texas Two-step is Tom Delay and Cheryl Burke. remember he didn’t get the chance to do this on the show b/c of his injuries. Not too bad, Tom Delay.

Now we are watching weeks 5 and 6 - Back are Chuck Liddell and Anna Trebunskaya. I miss Chuck.  Mark and Lacey are now back as well. Not much to report here….

Adam Carolla is back and he is with Gag stating he is the last man standing. In comes Mya and Kelly who sit right next to him. Adam goes off on Kelly and Mya. He sends Kelly and Mya out of the room so he can be alone with Donny. He points out Donny’s costume from 80’s week and asks him to hand over the guyliner. haha!

Back to dance are Natalie Couglin and Alec Mazo dancing their sexy dance of all.  They did so awesome. I love those too! Tom wonders if it is too late to vote her back in. My thoughts exactly.

Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas are back and she ended by falling down into the splits which looked AMAZING! Not even sure I could have done that myself. haha!

Now the judges are building up the drama talking about each of the final 3. Is it just me or is it boring so far? Anyways, our finalist come out to a dramatic song. They stand on little circular podiums on the dance floor. We again see their journey from their first meeting until the end. Kelly tearfully thanked Louis for helping her become the person she is today. He is teary too stating he was proud of her. Awww. They are dancing their very first dance - the Viennese Waltz. It is coming full circle for her right now and I love it! It was great. Len said out of all the dancers he will miss her the most. You can barely hear him over the crowd shouting “Kelly, Kelly….” Bruno said she has earned her place as a ballroom princess and she has found a new confidence that will serve her well. Carrie Ann said out of all seasons she doesn’t know if anyone has ever touched her as much as she has. Carrie Ann is teary and so I am. I am going to miss Kelly too…

Next up is Mya’s journey… She also thanks Dmitry but it isn’t very teary or emotional at all. They do their jive again where Dmitry is dresed up as a nerd. They did great. Loved it for a second time. Bruno called it sharp and slick stating from the beginning she has never dropped her standards. Carrie Ann called everything incredible and said she was a star. Len said they’ve had a few ups and downs but he’s never doubted her dance talents calling her fantastic.

Next is Don’s journey…gag…they are up dancing now - Argentine Tango. Kym hugs him tight and Marie looks like she is gonna cry b/c she is so proud. Carrie Ann can’t believe that is the last dance we are gonna see - she is so glad they chose this one b/c it was artistry in motion. Len said he’s traveled a rocky path - one dance pretty ugly, sometimes good, sometimes bad but he never lost his performance side. He thought he finished strong. Bruno called him the great performer totally in character tonight.

Now we are gonna get the judges rankings on the final dances. In 3rd place with 26 points - Kelly and Louis. 2nd place with 28 points is Mya and Dmitry. Donny and Kym are in first place for 30 points. Boo! He is being over dramatic. Kym Johnson might get her first win in the states. Boo! BTW, Sam was backstage talking to them and Kelly said it will be hard not to wake up and see Louis every day and she might just stalk him. hahaha!

Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin are gonna have a dance off. Can’t wait for that. LOL! But first Louis Vito and Chelsie Hightower are dancing together again but unfortunately Gag has to ruin it by singing their song “Puppy Love”. BOO! Why does Don have to be in everything? Why? They do their dance where he drops her and he didn’t drop her one bit. They did AWESOME! Sam says they couldn’t resist how they just danced and we know they aren’t dating but we can only hope. That is so right, Sam. I wish they were dating. Love those two.

Dancing the Paso Doble are Jerry Rice and Anna Trebunskaya vs. Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova. The boys come out carrying their girls and they dance to Monday Night Football theme. It is good to see Jerry back.He looks thinner though. They are all 4 on the floor going at it. Kinda fun! They swing the girls over the floor and then a gold football is thrown out which they fight over. Both Anna’s take it and run off with it. Len is gonna weigh in on who won this dance off… The judges thought Michael was the winner. He puts on a mirror ball trophy RING! He kisses it and totally rubs it in. They are just patronizing Michael. Battle of the bodies however went to Jerry Rice. haha!

Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff are up dancing and Miss Piggy is back. He is also wearing his Lucky Charms outfit aka Kermit the Frog. They ask what Aaron remembers the most about this experience - he said what he has learned..blah blah blah..he wants to inspire other young adults to do what is right. HUH?

Miss Piggy is backstage with Cloris Leachman, Jerry Springer and Steve Wozniak. Cloris wants her to get back b/c she doesn’t want to get swine flu. haha!  Is it just me or is this night just dragging on and on and on. Too many reliving season moments, recaps, etc. ahh! I will say that Miss Piggy is a much better interviewer than Sam - Sam better watch out her job might be in jeopardy.

Cloris Leachman and Corky Ballas, Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough, Jerry Springer and Edyta Sliwinska, as well as Steve Wozniak are now taking the stage to do the dance off Mambo. This should be a hoot! Cloris is hilarious. Jerry Springer looks pretty good. What is funny is Tom Bergeron commentating about it.  First out is Cloris and Corky. Boo! :(  We don’t know if she will leave the floor or not. haha! During all that, Steve Wozniak was on the floor acting like he couldn’t get up. haha! Next out is Jerry and Edyta. I’m surprised at that. Leaving us with Joanna and Derek and Steve and Karina. Steve just did the worm across the floor and Karina was dying laughing about it. Me too! Derek switches partners and tries to get Steve on the floor to I guess do the worm, but Karina and Steve were voted out before that. Derek and Joanna are the winners again. They do a move at the end that Joanna normally does but she switched it and held Derek’s neck as he bounced his hips up and down. They had to tell him to stop b/c kids are watching. LMAO!

Whitney Houstin is back singing an oldie but a goodie…”I wanna dance with somebody” but it sure doesn’t sound the same. Our pros are back and I love it.  I just don’t think Whit sounds very good anymore. Wonder if the drugs did it to her voice or something. Lacey and Maks’ trick was awesome. Everyone is dancing really well tonight - real hardcore. LOL! Sam asked Macy Gray backstage if she could handle doing three dances like the finalists did and Macy said “well, we’ll never know…and the proceeded to talk so non-chalantly about the finalists.” It was so funny.

Now for the third place reveal… Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel. Crowd boo’d and Donny’s mouth dropped. BOO! Kelly’s brother is finally in the audience.  They dance their final dance. Awww! Darn it!

We are finally gonna see who wins tonight. ’bout time. This season has drug on with Gag in my face week after week. And now tonight has dragged on as well with recaps and reliving the past. Winners are Donny Osmond aka Gag and Kym Johnson. DAMN IT! He pulls his wife on stage with him. Kym looks jealous..ok maybe not. Mya is so happy that she made it to the finals. She is gracious and I’m severely disappointed in this outcome. Now his whole gag-o-maggot family is out on the dance floor. GAG ME! This is the first time I’ve been disappointed this much in a DWTS outcome. Until next season…can’t wait to the spring so that Donny can be knocked off his high horse. Oh and he brings out Marie to the stage..GAG! AHHH!

Dancing with the Stars: The Finals

Posted By: admin On: Comments: ( 0 )

Ok so I am a day behind - got a little wrapped up in something last night so I couldn’t blog. So….here it is a night later. All I know is - Kelly ALL THE WAY!!! BTW, the couples have three dances tonght..woohoo!

First impressions: Gag and Kym are pretty shiny in gray/silvery sequins. Mya and Dmitry are in sultry black - her showing tummy and Kelly and Louis are also in black - less risque with him in a tux her in sequins.

Starting us tonight is Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel. We get to see her journey from start to finish. We see her first dance with her commentary. Carrie Ann went into their rehearsal to give them pointers. CA is helping her with the passion with Louis. They are dancing the Argentine Tango which is full of passion…we shall see.  So far so good on the passion. I think her footwork could be sharper, but I still like it. I thought it had lots of passion…some of the footwork was a little sloppy, but it was a lot of fun! Len said she is what this competition is about - loved her hard work to get them to the finals. He thought this dance was right up there. Bruno can’t believe her journey - however at times her free hand was a bit loose, but still very good. Carrie Ann said she was so proud of her with the emotional connection she had with Louis. Scores were 2 9’s and an 8 from Bruno for a total of 26 out of 30.

Mya and Dmitry have the Paso Doble this week. Now Mya’s journey….Len comes in to give them some tips. Len wants them to be BIG - with attitude. They dance to Queen’s “We Will Rock You.” Love the stomps and force behind it. She looks like she is doing something weird with her neck at times…but very good Paso. I also think Dmitry looks weird with the “black shoepolish” under his eyes. Bruno loves the power and the beauty of the Paso. Carrie Ann called her the queen of the Paso Doble - very hot and dynamic. Len loved it saying it was right up there with his fave Paso (Mel B. and Maks). Scores were all 10’s for a 30 out of 30.

Donny Gag Osmond and Kym Johnson are pulling up the rear dancing the Cha Cha Cha. I fast forwarded it through his “journey” b/c I don’t really care. Bruno comes in to help telling him he knows he can win it. WHATEVER! Don’t give him a bigger head. His leg swing over her head was a little bent for my taste. He is too much of a twinkle toes which I don’t like. It also looks like he is just out there dancing for himself and Kym is a prop. I think there should be a connection. That’s my opinion though. Of course Mrs. Gag aka Marie is up screaming all crazy like. Carrie Ann asked where his hips came from. She loved the energy but pointed out the misfortune of a hand missed or something. Len said Ding Dong Donny that was a cha cha cha..he thought Bruno worked some magic. Bruno gave us more gag moments about how professional he was in practice….whatev! Scores were all 9’s for a 27 out of 30.

Our Megamix is up and Nick Kosovich who was a pro in one of the seasons is the choreographer. They are dancing the Samba, Jive, and Viennese Waltz thus called the Megamix. Kelly is freaking out b/c he is going so fast in teaching them the steps. She is the only one that doesn’t have formal training. Nick gives her a pep talk which hopefully will help. Kym slams Gag in practice stating Mya and Kym would be his daughters. haha! True dat!  Funny that showing belly is Kym and Mya but Kelly isn’t. They start with the Viennese Waltz and no one is in sync. Next they have Samba and this is a little more together. It is hard to watch all three of them and compare. You can only watch one at a time. Jive is next and Kelly is lagging behind on this. I thought this Megamix was a bit crazy and hard to watch…just my opinion though. Len thought it would be so easy to judge and thought it was very difficult showing how close they all were. Bruno pointed out Mya being the best in Samba..Kelly good in waltz…and he thought Don was one of the pro boys. Whatever, Brun’. Carrie Ann agrees with them both and she was impressed with Don keeping up. Gag me on all the DON TALK! Seriously - what is up with all this madness? Third place with 26 points: Kelly/Louis. Don and Kym in 2nd place with 28 points. Mya and Dmitry with 30 points rank 1st.

Past champions are back talking about what it takes to win. Brooke Burke - Helio Castroneves, and Drew Lachey. They talk about the freestyle dance and how important it is.

Up first in the freestyle round is Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel. They are dancing to “I will survive.” She is having foot problems with her toes. She starts in a hoodie that is super long and Satin. She is gonna rip that off b/c it is so long. Louis rips it off. She losing her timing and one of their tricks was a bit of a mess. Oops. Their last trick was NOT that great either. I think it was a bit daunting for her although she looked like she had fun. Bruno said she’s never looked more beautiful than tonight…and sometimes people fall on the floor. Carrie Ann wanted us to see she was a survivor - and she saw that tonight. Len loved her smiling and singing through it. Scores were all 8’s for a 24 out of 30.  Backstage Kelly was still laughing stating that in one of the lifts it looked like Louis pooped her out. haha! Grand total for the night 76 out of 90.

Mya and Dmitry are up wth their freestyle. I don’t know style this is - jazz I’m guessing. This is fast and fun but I think they could have done so much more with their freestyle. Carrie Ann said high energy, fun, but not outstanding to her. She said they are competing with Hairspray and it didn’t showcase Mya. Len said it is clear she is a great dancer but said he was expecting something to happen and it didn’t happen. Bruno said she had the beat all the way through…but he was expecting something more spectacular. Scores were all 9’s for a 27 out of 30. Grand total for the night 87 out of 90.

Last up in the freestyle is Gag-o-Maggot, Donny Osmond. They are doing broadway. Greaaattt! Lots of dramatic faces, leaps, and over the top performance. Len thought that was truly an absolute show stopper. Bruno said Mr. Show Business at his best. Carrie Ann said welcome to the hall of fame of freestyles. GAG! Scores were all 10’s for a 30 out of 30. Grand total for the night is 85 out of 90.

All votes for Kelly. I know it is too late but man, I do not want Gag to win. Please NOOOO!

Dancing with the Stars Week 9: The Semi-Finals Results

Posted By: admin On: November 18, 2009 Comments: ( 0 )

Who will stay? Who will go? Will Gag stay or be ousted tonight? We shall see!!

Samantha looks great tonight in a sheer-esque black over one shoulder gown. Anyways enough about her - the encore dance belongs to Mya and Dmitry’s Salsa tonight. Here we go!! I love it! I have goosebumps tonight during this for some reason. They hit each other in the face it looked like when he slid to her at the end, but it was AWESOME! Judges are all on their feetsies.

Apparently Kelly forgot her solo and made it up on the fly. I thought it looked like she was posing a lot. haha! Nothing else was newsworthy in the recaps and backstage confessionals.

The elimination is happening already… those brats - they aren’t gonna tell us who is safe. You suck, Tom!

Sam has all the stars backstage and she asks them all questions and when she gets to Mya she talks about her wardrobe malfunctions and of course Gag has to interrupt with his saga. My cuz said it right - he requires soooo much attention. It is exhausting!

We have some live entertainment now and I am FF’ing through it. None of our pros are performing so why watch? I don’t have time for that. I am, however, looking forward to seeing Season 8’s Melissa Rycroft’s performance with Tony Dovolani. That will be a highlight of my night for sure.  Right now Alica Keys is performing. Never heard this song before but I actually LIKE IT ALOT! The song is called “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart” fyi.

Now the stars are lip-syncing to “Under Pressure” by David Bowie. Gag is sooooo damn dramatic. It is frustrating to watch. The girls are cute!!

Front and center is Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough as well as Mya and Dmitry Chaplin which was last nights top scorers. Mya and Dmitry are in the finals. Joann and Derek we don’t know their fate yet. Boo!

Leona Lewis is up now. I do like her - she is singing her first single off her new album called “Happy.” This should be my theme song after reading the lyrics.

Center stage is now Donny Gag Me Osmond and Kym Johnson as well as Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel. Who is safe?? OMG - Donny is in the finals! WTH? I AM VERY VERY TICKED!

Celebrating their 50th anniversary is the Bee Gees and Melissa Rycroft will be out shortly to dance to this fantastic music. I need something to distract me from how ticked I am! BOO@GAG! They are singing “You Should be Dancing” Yeah! Bruno is over on the sidelines doing typical 70’s finger pointing dancing. Tony Dovolani and Cheryl Burke are out dancing as well as Chelsie Hightower and So You think You Can Dance and Carrie Ann’s old flame, Artem. Where’s Melissa? Hmmmm? I’m looking for her. Boy these Bee Gee’s never lose their high pitched voices do they? I have to say this is FUN!! Carrie Ann is shaking her groove thing. Ok here is Melissa. She comes in from the steps. She is barefoot. She danced with the pro girls and looked awesome. I must say that this was the BEST entertainment we’ve had this season! Loved it all!!!

We get to see backstage when the pros choreograph the all the group dances. I love seeing this stuff. We get to see all the pros bickering about the ideas that everyone has.

So we are gonna find out who stays and who goes. I’m guessing Joanna will be leaving us tonight which SUX b/c she deserves to be in the finals. DONNY DOES NOT! AHHH SO TICKED AGAIN! The Bee Gees can only distract for so long b/f  I return to my rage. And now..commercial break. I hate it when they do that.

Leaving us tonight is Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough. I am glad for Kelly and Louis though. So glad, but so upset about Joanna. This just isn’t right. Folks I can’t say it enough - next week - VOTE for anyone but Donny. Donny can NOT win this.

We are left with Derek and Joanna dancing their final dance for us instead of them just going out int he middle of the floor and everyone huddling around them we get to see their waltz again. Bittersweet! Makes me sad.

Dancing with the Stars Week 9: The Semi-Finals

Posted By: admin On: November 17, 2009 Comments: ( 1 )

Next week is the finale. Can you believe that? We’ve got 4 couples left and gag is one of them. If you don’t like Gag aka Donny Osmond, I urge you to call in and vote online for anyone other than Gag. I have never done such a campaign like this but I have never felt so strongly about someone NOT winning then I do about him. Well, perhaps I felt it for his sister, Marie as well, but who remembers that? Samantha is wearing purple and it is a little bit too gathered. Tune in and see what I mean.

First impressions: Donny Gag is in gold shimmery type suit. Mya looks awesome in a white gown as does Joanna Krupa who looks like Barbie. Kelly Osbourne looks great too in pink.  I assume ballroom is up first based on the outfits. Tonight according to Samantha - they have to perform 3 routines. WOW!

Up first is Gag Osmond dancing the Tango. Gilles Marini came in to give Don some pointers. When did Gilles become a dance expert? I know he is an expert on sex appeal, but on the Tango? Yeah he got 10’s but..whatever.  Gilles one tip is to make everyone else uncomfortable is what Don is gonna stick with. I don’t get it. Wow the steps are getting murky and it looks like they are tripping over each others feet. I can’t tell if it is Kym or Don. haha! That’s how NOT good it is. Also they are dancing to “Black and Gold” which would explain the outfits. They ended with a twist move that showed Kym’s cleavage. She hugged him really tight and said some things in his ear… He goes over to Tom and sits down on the floor. Tom states “We have another Osmond down.” I’m not sure if he is just upset over how bad it was or if he is feeling sick. I’m sure we will find out.  I think is he just upset..yeah he is. Len said the sadness of it is that his other tango was so great - Len wondered if it was Kym’s dress. He said no. Len called it a catastrophe. Bruno said he completely lost it, but tonight he didn’t cover it up. hahaha! I just have to laugh. Carrie Ann said there was no drama happening..she said they handled the costume misfortune as best as they could and Don said they were making stuff up right and left. Well well well - he might just be gone after this. A girl can only hope. Oh and Kym did get stuck in her dress and it is all torn. Scores were all 7’s for a 21 out of 30.

Second to perform is Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough dancing the Viennese Waltz . I think Derek needs a haircut btw. Too long and messy on top. He is having issues with getting on Joanna even kicking the radio. Temper! Brooke Burke came in to give Joanna pointers on how to deal with the stress and how mean Derek is. They ganged up on him which was great.They start on top of the stage and one of her turns wasn’t too great and off balance, but it is starting out pretty beautiful. Let’s hope they keep this momentum. I think she looks stunning in baby blue. They are gliding quite nicely cross the floor. I think she could work on her turns though. Does this give me goosebumps? No. It was pretty to watch though. Bruno thought it had grace, but something was missing (he said something else but I didn’t get it.). Carrie Ann said she took her breath away, but to work on why she is reaching. Len thought the hold was as good as any professional, he loved the choreography, her flicked wrist is a bit funny, but overall it was a beautiful dance. Scores were all 9’s for a 27 out of 30.

Tom tells us that Melissa Rycroft returns to dance with Tony Dovolani tomorrow night. YAYY!

Our first Latin routine is up now..and they are required to do a solo. Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel are dancing the Rumba. She seems confident in practice and I hope she brings that tonight. I have goosebumps at the beginning of this. It is very sexy, slow but some quick movements. Her solo is a lot of posing. She looked a big uncomfy but who wouldn’t. They end with a no handed stretch that was just great! I thought she did excellent. Her Mama was jumping up and down and thought so too. I have tears right now..ahhh! Carrie Ann said she brought her to tears. Yeah me too! Carrie Ann said she reached right into her heart and made her love her. Len can’t be as airy fairy as CA, but he must say that she’s turned into a very competent dancer, but doesn’t think it was one of her best. Bruno said she needs to push her hips to the extreme and commended her for pushing the limits on some of the movements. Scores were all 8’s for a 24 out of 30.

Mya and Dmitry are up last in this round. Tonight they are dancing the waltz . She brings in a white board to step up the game as it contains some rules which are… If you are late, pay up. Mistakes cost 5 push-ups.  Breaks are 10 min only. Rule #4 is listen to Dmitry. Hmmm…. Interesting rules.  Apparently they sleep in the studio too - they pitched a tent. NO KIDDING! haha! She does this move where she lays down from a standing position and he catches her head. It was so gorgeous. Their spins are fast and beautiful. Her head is in a laid back position. Her balance is great in a one footed spin. I thought this was wonderful. Loved it. Len loved it - romance, elegance, movement, total control and it was an absolute joy. Bruno said it was love set to music - defying gravity. Carrie Ann loved it too BUT she has the potential to get all 10’s, but there were times that they weren’t connected in their holds. Scores were 2 9’s and a 10 from Bruno for a 28 out of 30.

Dancing the Samba is Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson. He is shaking his booty and we get a close up shot. Gag. Luckily Kym has on a short number so we can’t blame the wardrobe for a crappy job. He is light on his feet and is now doing his solo. He did pretty good in his solo - not holding anything back. I thought it was pretty good. All 10’s? Nope. Looks like he had fun though - and he thinks he nailed it being so over - dramatic here. ahh! Bruno said a stumble doesn’t stop a pro from coming back and nailing it. Carrie Ann said it was better than the last one, but it felt a little sloppy for you, Donny. She thought he was dancing a little small for him. Len agrees with Bruno not Carrie Ann - he thought he came out strong and determined. Scores were 2 9’s and an 8 from CA for a total of 26 out of 30. Grand total 47 out of 60.

Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough are dancing the cha cha cha. She starts her solo on the stage acting all sexy. She is wearing a bra top in red and fringe pants. I think this is pretty sexy. Lot of tricks at the end which was pretty good. Carrie Ann loved it - said she has come a long way. Len thought it was clean, crisp, could have been more cheeky though. Bruno said she is just natural sex just oozing from everywhere. He is amazed out how well she’s done over the course of this competition. Scores were all 9’s for a total of 27 out of 30. Grand total 54 out of 60.

Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel have the quickstep now. She’s in yellow and flowers. So far so good - great footwork and movement. They did mess up running towards the stairs she got a little ahead of Louis. I liked how they went up on the stage and then went down them again. They ended with a crazy trick and it looked like he was gonna drop her, but he didn’t. The crowd is on their feet and love it. I’m sure the judges will point out the messed up footwork though and the scores will reflect that. Len said her Mom and him are very proud. He said it was beyond his expectations. Bruno said go Kelly go - light, but she lost one step, but he liked it. Carrie Ann said Go Get Em Kelly Osbourne - she thought she nailed it, but pointed out the one little stumble but called it fabulous. Scores were all 9’s for a total of 27 out of 30. Grand total 51 out of 60.

Last up in this round is Mya and Dmitry dancing the Salsa. She starts by unbuttoning Dmitry’s shirt all the way. I’m sure that was his idea. haha! Wow so much action that i can’t take my eyes off them. Her solo was great - he sat on the steps watching her. It was cute. WOW that was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was hot and sexy and full of action. Bruno said it was sensational. Carrie Ann said it was hot beyond belief and the solo was slamming. Len said tutti fruity what a booty. He was mesmerized by her booty I guess. He thinks she deserves to be in the finale. Scores were all 10’s for a total of 30 out of 30. Grand total 58 out of 60.

The third round they are going to dance their dance-off dance meaning if they were in the bottom 2 this would have been the dance they would have done.

Donny and Kym have the jitterbug. They are decked out in green sequins. A little distracting for my tastes. Here’s Gags last attempt. This is right up his alley - Mr. Performance Pants. Whatev. Marie is on her feet, but no one else is. haha! Carrie Ann said he got his mojo back. Len said 2 out of 3 isn’t bad b/c this was another winner. Bruno liked it too.  Scores were all 9’s for a total of 27 out of 30.

Joanna and Derek dancing the Salsa. She is in hot pink. They are cute together. Lots of fun in a short amount of time. Len said it was hot tasty and full of spice. Bruno called it delicious and flirtatious. Len told Bruno to calm down. haha! Carrie Ann loves how they generate heat. She would love to see her in the finals. Scores were all 9’s for a 27 out of 30.

Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel are now dancing the Cha Cha Cha. She is in hot pink too and black. Looks very cute. That was short and sweet. She looks so confident now. Bruno said it worked for him - good feet precision and timing great - and how she finished her moves. Carrie Ann said she had a great night. Len said she’s danced all three dances to a very high level. Scores were all 9’s for a 27 out of 30.

Last up is Mya and Dmitry dancing the Cha Cha Cha. She is rockin’ this. He pulls her skirt off to reveal some undies that have fringe on them. She does the splits and he flips over her to finish the routine. WOW! Carrie Ann did not like the beginning, but liked the other stuff. Len says Bruno shouts a lot and it gets on his nerves. haha! Len was disappointed b/c he wanted it to go on longer. Bruno thought it was an action packed trailer for a blockbuster and he wanted it to go on longer too. Scores were 1 10’s and a 9 from Carrie Ann for a total of 29 out of 30.

So, let’s pool all of our votes to everyone BUT Donny. Sound like a plan, Stan? I am hoping and praying that Don is NOT in the finals. Pretty please with a cherry on top.

Dancing with the Stars Week 8 Results

Posted By: admin On: November 11, 2009 Comments: ( 1 )

The encore dance tonight is Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough with their futuristic Paso Doble. Woohoo! I really enjoyed this last night. Did even better tonight! Woot! They are wasting no time tonight. First safe couple is: Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough

And Geez - I don’t know how Mya sees with all that eye makeup on. Have you seen it? She keeps blinking. I can’t imagine.

Woohoo Dance Center is back with Kenny Mayne and Jerry Rice are getting down while Len comes in to join them. I love this already. I heard season 2’s Stacy Keibler will be on it too.

We are seeing recaps again. The one that stood out was Kelly and Louis after her foxtrot. They went to the confessional and they both cried like babies. She said she loved him and knows that that dance couldn’t have been betta’ (aka better)…I was using my British accent in writing.

Up singing now is Michael Buble. I kind of like him - sometimes. It depends on the song. I like his slower ones so I’m doubting I will like this one. It is upbeat. We shall see if our pros come out to dance. Hope so then I’ll watch. Yes Maks and Jonathon Roberts are out along with Anna Trebunskaya and Cheryl Burke. I think Cheryl and Maks should get together in real life - don’t you? Maks is kissing Cheryl’s cheek at the end really long. Hmmm…could get interesting.

Next safe couple is: Mya and Dmitry Chaplin

Dance Center - Here we go! This time they do NOT have glitter or makeup on their faces. I repeat - no glitter and makeup. haha! Kenny admits not watching any of the show and not being prepared for the show. They roast Joanna Krupa first. Kenny points out her weird laugh. Kenny is dogging on Derek’s sexy moves which they keep replaying over and over again. Next up is Gag Osmond.  They say he acts like a 3 year old on sugar. haha! They dog on him for kissing Bruno and Len is jealous of that. haha! Stacy Keibler is their backstage correspondent. They ask what is going on b/w Gag and Bruno. Bruno is sitting with him on the couch with his shirt open. LOL! Aaron Carter is roasted next. Kenny asked Len if he made Aaron cry. They say there is no crying in ballroom and dog on him about his pain thresh-hold being low. We see clips of him saying owwww all the time. Jerry compared him to a fragile snowflake. OMG - you just have to watch this just to get how funny it really is..although it has been funnier in past seasons.

Guess who is back?? Sabrina Bryan (season 5). America chose her - chose the dance (Paso Doble) - chose the costumes (a funky tiger print) - chose the song (Eye of the Tiger) - and chose her dance partner (Mark Ballas). Yeah - I knew Mark would be chosen b/c people loved them as a real life couple. Too bad they’ve broken up. Wonder how this will translate into their practices and on the dance floor. Here we go…WOW she is doing a solo on stage and looks amazing. They are awesome!!! I am in LOVE with this! They did this funky flip move and it was just so intricate that I had to rewind it just to get it. WOW AMAZING! She could be a pro out there! I only wish we could have seen their rehearsals. I love backstage stuff.

Michael BOOBle’ is back. Ok, I know his name isn’t spelled that way but that is what I think about everytime they say his name. He is singing one of his classics that I don’t like b/c it is too jazzy. Hopefully our pros will be out soon. Yeah some lady in yellow and some man I don’t know. I am fast forwarding thru this.

Next safe couple is: Donny Gag Osmond and Kym Johnson. BOO!

Bottom two are Kelly Osbourne and Aaron Carter. I’m guessing Aaron is leaving us tonight.

Susan Boyle is on singing her signature song “I dreamed a dream.” On the dance floor is Tony Dovolani and Chelsie Hightower who look amazing.

Kelly Osbourne is now being roasted on Dance Center. Kenny says she always gets away being so cute but she swears like a trucker. Then we see footage of her bleeping everything. haha! Len says “I’m telling you, that girl is lovely and anyone who says different is an absolute (bleep)”. haha! They try to roast Dmitry and Kenny said he could win the whole thing. Len keeps saying he is the pro. haha! Mya is up next. Len doesn’t like her gimmicks and Jerry says she can dust his house any day. Kenny says she has anger problems and we see her in practice hitting Dmitry (on accident of course). Kenny is getting on Len for saying that any of the rest of them can win. Kenny says that all of them have a chance to win b/c there are only 5 left. It is like saying that the three can sit in chairs right then. haha!  They pull out a little miniature dance floor with little pieces on it. Each piece has a pro and star’s face on it. They are spinning around and Kenny bumps it while saying earthquake. Whoever was left standing is the winner - no one was left standing but Kenny picked up Mya and says she wins. haha!

Ok so now we find out who will NOT be in the semi-finals. And we will find out after the commercial. AHHH! Shame on you for making us wait. Leaving us tonight is: Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff. That means Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel are IN the semi-finals. She jumped for joy on that and hugged Louis tight. Yayy! Karina looks pissed - she feels like it is her time to win it. haha! Len wants to commend him on his dedication and said he is an inspiration to all young people. Len said if he were his son he couldn’t be more proud of him. He shakes their hands and then goes back to center stage to dance with Karina.

Dancing with the Stars Week 8

Posted By: admin On: November 10, 2009 Comments: ( 0 )

So we just have 5 couples left. And I think I read today that the finale is in 2 weeks. WHAT? It is gonna be over before we know it. All I know is Gag better get kicked off and quick! I just don’t want him to win. For those who have NOT been following my blog (shame on you) Gag is aka Donny Osmond. First glance of Samantha reminded me of Wonderwoman. She is in a red dress which is nice but has on a shiny gold belt - thus the Wonderwoman reference.

First impressions: Aaron looking like another plastic Ken doll with his hair slicked to the side walks with a beautiful Karina. She is showing off her nice tummy. Even though I really can’t stand her personality and voice…she is gorgeous. I just don’t like how far up his lapel (? I think that is what it is called) is. It looks like it is just too damn tall for his little neck. Kym Johnson comes down the steps knockers first in a pink number - Donny in a suit with matching tie.  Maya in in peach and Dmitry in striped suit with matching tie. See, his shirt lapel isn’t up as high as Ken’s. Joanna Krupa looks stunning in a beige rhinestone number with white gloves. Derek in a white short jacketed tux. Kelly Osbourne is in mint green and Louis suit with matching tie. There’s our 5 couples. Guess we are gonna have ballroom round first based on the way they are dressed. They will be performing 2 dances tonight.

Len is telling us exactly what I thought was going to happen - the ballroom round. He wants Gag to work on his posture in Viennese Waltz. Joanna needs to work on balance in her quickstep. They want Kelly to grow or go - that mediocrity isn’t enough. The judges want Maya to just dance - no gimmicks. Aaron needs to be less of a wild child.

Dancing the Quickstep, Maya and Dmitry Chaplin are up first. Her posture is great. Footwork looks good to me too. I think Len will like this - never broke hold until the end which is allowed. Great job they did!! Len thought is disappointed tonight b/c he couldn’t find anything to criticize. Does that mean she gets a 10? Bruno thought it was quality. Carrie Ann said she made it look so perfect and easy. Scores were 2 10’s and a 9 from CA. Not sure what CA was thinking with that 9. Total score 29 out of 30.

Karina is sick with a fever so they have to wear face masks so Aaron doesn’t get sick. She said that he won’t dance with anyone but her - over her dead body. So she is gonna hang in there after the Lacey debacle last week. They are dancing the foxtrot.  Oh and she is wearing pants a very cute outfit - skimpy, but what is new for her? I’m not sure what to say about this. I thought it was ok. Nice rise and fall. Bruno can see how much work went into it, but he felt it was a little bit tense - no ease of flow. I agree with that completely. Carrie Ann said someone’s foot came off the floor, but said they lost fluidity. Len said it was like watching his son in a toy shop. Len is proud of him no matter what happens. Scores were 2 8’s and a 7 from Carrie Ann for a total of 23 out of 30.

Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough have the Quickstep this week. They watch videos of Maya to try to beat her since they are both doing the same ballroom dance this week. They start in the audience and run it down to the stage. They break hold at the beginning. Her face looks good, but not sure if she is comfy with this dance. Her turns are good, but she looks unsure at times. It seemed very entertaining though which I liked. Carrie Ann said she had a few out of sync moments, but loved all the content. She said her frame was great, but he toe points were an eye sore. Len said there was a lot of running about, lacked body contact, and this was not the standard for the quarter finals. Bruno said it looked like she was running away from the scene of a crime - saying there was a lot of issues downstairs. Scores were 2 8’s and a 7 from Len for a total of 23 out of 30.

Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel have the foxtrot this week. She gets very distracted in practice so they have to lock up her distractions in a box. haha! I think ballroom is her thing b/c she looks great already. It is gliding very nicely and they are so light on their feet. She is singing along and looks so confident and comfy. Wow - I loved this!! He hugged her tight and I think they think they did great. I do too! Len thought her posture was good, routine good, but footwork distraction but the rest of her was lovely. Bruno said she was weightless - commended her on keeping her focus. Carrie Ann said her secret weapon is her breakthroughs that she keeps having that makes the audience scream for her. She needs to work on her spots and range of motion though. Scores were 2 8’s and a 9 from Bruno for a 25 out of 30.

Gag and Kym Johnson are up last in the ballroom round. I can hardly wait. Apparently he had problems this week. Well, what’s new?? They have the Viennese Waltz and he is wahhhhh’ing over not having time and not having fun anymore. Boo hoo, Gag, Boohoo! He is starting over now. So far so good. Nice gliding and spins. Ok, it was good. Ok - will admit it, but I wish it wasn’t him doing good like that. UGH! Bruno said he really played it like a lifetime movie. Carrie Ann thought it was mesmerizing. Len said posture improved but it was a bit too arty farty. Bruno asked “what’s wrong with farty?” haha! Scores are 2 9’s and an 8 from Len for a 26 out of 30.

ooh yay - dance center will be on tomorrow night. They are giving us a sneak peak right now and I love it already!!

Now we are seeing our pros dance some Latin for us. I see Mark Ballas, Tony Dovolani but not sure of the others. There is another guy with some wild hair and the girls I do not recognize.

For the latin round - they will each have to do a latin dance - duh! Plus they have to tailor it to a specific era. They do not want Don to make mistakes. They want Maya to prove to them that she really wants to win. They want Joanna to just deliver. Bruno wants Kelly to just let go and nail it. Aaron needs to bounce, shake what his mama give him, and work it fast. Len is sooo excited as the possibilities of the latin round. Woohoo!

Maya and Dmitry have a 70’s Samba. Dmitry is wearing a fake ’stache. They are going to incorporate 70’s moves into their Samba. Poor Dmitry is having a Samba block this week. Poor guy! She is in hot pink pants and he is wearing red with a pink/red silk shirt. haha! This is awesome - I love the era theme added in. I thought they did awesome. Very entertaining and cute! Carrie Ann believes she wants to win - calling it incredible! Len said she is on fire - her hips were hypnotic - she thought both dances were of the highest standards with no gimmicks. Bruno called her unbelievable. Scores were all 10’s for a perfect 30 out of 30.

Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff have a 90’s Samba. He was 3 in the 90’s. haha! He thinks it is perfect b/c he grew up then. He is showing her boy band stuff and she thinks he is going way overboard. She is getting embarrassed by the rodeo move. haha! He slides across the floor and does a one handed trick with his legs up in the air. They are wearing black and gold. She is wearing black leg warmers which were 80’s style, Karina, not 90’s. I only saw 90’s moves at the end of the dance. It wasn’t as good as Maya’s dance, but it will do. It was still fun. Len said it was tough after following Maya - he came out and performed it and sold it. Bruno said all his energy has finally made good. Carrie Ann said he is truly a great performer now. Scores are  all 9’s for a total of 27 out of 30. Apparently towards the end Aaron almost threw up. Hmmm…I didn’t see that.

Dancing the futuristic Paso Doble is Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough. They are going to be robots and look the part. Lots of strobe lights and glowing costumes. haha! They are very in-sync with this. I am enjoying it. I love how he incorporated Paso moves into this futuristic dance. Crazy but didn’t think it would work. They ended by their robots shutting off. I wished they would have danced to Mr. Roboto. haha! Bruno called Derek a genius and absolutely loved it. Carrie Ann said it was outstanding execution - she said Joanna did not miss a step.  Carrie Ann pointed out one missed step though. Len said Bruno took his word “genius” haha! Len didn’t know how Derek was gonna do this, but he loved the content as well. He called it fantastic.  Scores were 2 10’s and a 9 from nitpicky Carrie Ann for a total of 29 out of 30.

Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel have a 60’s jive. She has a green wig on and he steals a doll from her. He is wearing a wig. haha!  She looks timid in her kicks and her moves weren’t big enough, but it was sure fun to watch. She ended up on Bruno’s lap, with the doll, sucking her thumb and sticking her tongue out at Louis. Len said she has been an inspiration to him - as she has come in week after week stronger and stronger. Bruno said come back to daddy - she went and sat up on his lap again. He wants her to go for it even more. Carrie Ann said one of her best performance - it was exciting, but there were just a few issues, the doll lasted a little too long, but a few little missteps. Scores were 2 9’s and an 8 from Carrie Ann for a 26 out of 30.

Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson have an 80’s Paso Doble. They look ridiculous in their costumes. Donny wants to wear a mullet b/c that s what he had in real life back then. UGH! They dance to “Spin me Round.” I love this song. Kym looks like Madonna. Donny looks like a white Michael Jackson. I just don’t think he looks like a leading man in this. The movement isn’t strong enough or rough for a Paso, but I do love the music. Len said it was the most crazy, bazaar, scary Paso he’s ever seen, but he liked it. Bruno said no one could ever top this saying he was doing Marie and she was doing him - like impersonating. Carrie Ann thought it was hysterical b/c she loved that era but that they dropped off the edge calling it insane. I agree. Scores were all 8’s for a total of 24 out of 30.

So I really liked everyone but Donny tonight. What about you?

Dancing with the Stars Week 7 Results

Posted By: admin On: November 4, 2009 Comments: ( 1 )

So Jo-Anne my faithful blog reader predicted that Michael Irvin and Gag aka Donny Osmond would go home. I ’bout died laughing when she called him Gag. haha! Good stuff. We shall see if her prediction comes true. I think Michael and Mark will go home. Hmmm…

Team Tango is kicking off the night for us as the encore dance. Go Team Tango!!

Derek Hough and Mark Ballas are gonna be our entertainment tonight. Oh and Colbie Caillat will also perform and I can honestly say I can’t stand her! Her songs suck!

First safe couple is: Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel. First couple in tonight’s bottom three is: Mark Dacascos and Lacey Schwimmer.

Colbie is on now - this wholesomeness really gets to me - ick! Edyta and Alec are dancing so I guess I’ll watch. Dang she is even worse live.

Next safe couple is: Gag and Kym. Boo! Next bottom three couple is: Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova.

Mark Ballas and Derek Hough aka Ballas Hough is performing for us now. This is full of dancing and lights. I didn’t know they were like this. I thought they were more acoustic. This is very techno. I wonder if they lip-syncing b/c of the amount of dancing they are doing. I really like this song though. Go Ballas Hough!

Maya and Dmitry Chaplin are safe. Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough are also safe. That means Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff are in the bottom 3. Yeah I told you that jive didn’t translate well over the TV.

Singing next is Rod Stewart.  Old guy still has it.

So we are now at the bottom three. Leaving us tonight is Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova. Bound to happen, right? In the dance off is Aaron Carter/Karina Smirnoff and Mark Dacascos and Lacey Schwimmer. I don’t even really think we need a dance off, do we? Based on last night’s scores Aaron should stay. I have a feeling the judges will agree.

First up dancing the Cha Cha Cha is Mark and Lacey. He does high splits off the judges table. He does a lot of gymnastics. He does seem loose though and his hips are good. I thought he did pretty good actually. Len thought it was top notch. Bruno loved the tricks. Carrie Ann loves that tonight he is back and Lacey too. She said they are back in top form.

Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff are dancing the jive and yes they just did the jive last night but this is a different routine. This is super fast and his kicks are fast, very light on his feet. Bruno said he can’t believe he is in this situation after last night’s jive. Carrie Ann thinks this jive is better than last night. Len said he is the comeback kid.

The judges are going to have a hard time, but I think it will be easy for them based on the history of the dancers. Mark will be going home tonight. It is unfortunate but that is how the cookie crumbles. We shall see if I am right.  The couple the judges saved is Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff. Mark and Lacey are history! Not surprised.

Dancing with the Star Week 7

Posted By: admin On: November 3, 2009 Comments: ( 1 )

I was just watching ET before this and they told us that GAG will not be wearing a shirt. I can hardly wait to see that..NOT!  Apparently Lacey is now sick according to the previews and the couples have 2 dances tonight. There are dancers out on the floor - not sure what we will begin with. Our pros are starting us off to show us how teamwork should work. Apparently the second dance will be a team dance of Tango or Paso Doble. Jonathon Roberts, Chelsie Hightower, Edyta Sliwinska, Alec Mazo and I cant tell who else - to much spinning. Just gonna watch the show.

First impressions… Aaron Carter looks like a plastic Ken doll, Mark Dacascos is paired with Anna Trebunskaya instead of a sick Lacey, Donnie is in gray velvet suit. Michael Irvin is in pink again. Kelly Osbourne is in electric blue fringe. Maya is in pink silk. Tom tells us that the stars designed the costumes this week. They didn’t do too bad.

Up first is Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova dancing the foxtrot. He looks smooth but a little on the stiff side. He has a huge smile on his face which is nice, but I didn’t really think it was anything spectacular and I didn’t care for the music either. Tom seems to like it. We shall see if the judges do. Michael said he loved it - it was fun. Len is glad he hung around b/c he really liked his Foxtrot. Bruno said his musicality has improved, but watch the bum that sticks out. Carrie Ann called him incredible, fluid, loved the dynamics, and the costume. Scores were 2 8’s and a 7 from Bruno for a total of 23 out of 30.

Donny Gag Osmond and Kym Johnson have the Quickstep tonight. He is having posture issues so Kym goes and gets the posture bar. haha - wear it, Don, and LOVE IT!  They start on stage on the steps.  He seems like he is a bit ahead of the music, but maybe not. I could be wrong. I think I must be in a bad mood tonight, but I am just not enjoying this. Oh, but it could be because I am watching Don. I don’t know. Bruno loved the performance b/c he covered up all the mistakes. Carrie Ann thought it was pretty good, footwork light, and he went wrong about 4-5 times. Len said it was a full on quickstep, full of attack and drive. He loved how he went for it. I think Bruno has turned into Len…I think. Oh and the series premier of V is coming on tomorrow - CAN’T WAIT! I watched that in the 80’s and loved it. Scores were all 8’s for a 24 out of 30.

Mark Dacascos and Anna Trebunskaya (filling in for a sick Lacey) have the Samba. He had to learn it within 48 hours. It looked like he was just throwing things in here and there and couldn’t keep up. Looked like a modge podge of steps at times. I am not surprised considering he worked with Lacey, then Tony Dovolani, then Anna. Carrie Ann said she has compassion b/c of having a rough week, but said it was a mess. Len said he doesn’t agree to the extent of what CA was saying - stating it wasn’t terrible. Bruno doesn’t know what he was throwing in there amongst other things. I tuned out. Scores were 2 6’s and a 7 from Len for a 19 out of 30.

Dancing the foxtrot is Maya and Dmitry Chaplin. Cloris Leachman comes in to help. Haha! She actually gave some good words of advice. This is very high speed and fluid. She did a nice trick between his legs which I liked. I thought they did great - should get some high scores I think. Len liked the parts that were in hold - he didn’t like all the gimmicks. Bruno said this perfectly captured the Hollywood golden age.  Carrie Ann said Len is smoking crack - she is frustrated with Len. haha! Carrie Ann loves the look, the costume, she loved the dance - footwork, grace, etc. Scores were 2 9’s and a 7 from Len for a 25 out of 30.

Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff have the jive this week. He is having issues in practice because it is going to be extremely quick. We love quick jives. They go and train with this guy at the gym who makes him do all kinds of crazy, fast footwork. We’ll see if it helps. I would like to see more flicks not just kicking. He is keeping up though with the music. I just thought his kicks looked a bit weird..high but weird.  Bruno said he kicked fast and had unstoppable momentum. Carrie Ann said it was like a little roadrunner…she thought it was excellent. Len said the energy was enough to light up Hollywood, wild but clean, fast but control, fun but not slapstick. Len was tempted to dust off his 10 paddle…hmmmm. Scores were 2 10’s and a 9 from Carrie Ann for a total of 29 out for 30.

Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel have the Salsa this week. She is having a meltdown in practice. Louis changed his approach and she is having issues with it. He is just being more tough with her although I didn’t see it. Louis started out with fringe pants and then ripped them off to reveal black ones. Wow - this was fun and entertaining. I loved the last trick too - ended perfectly. Carrie Ann gave Kelly a high five and called it brilliant and she was unafraid of the dance. Len stands up and thought her nerves were controlled and said all aspects of her dancing need to come up a notch. Bruno stands up on the judges table and shakes his booty all over the place. He wraps Louis’ pants around his neck. haha! He loved how she got into the character. Kelly thanked them for calling her beige. Scores were all 8’s for a 24 out of 30.

Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough are up next and they have the Rumba. Derek takes her to the beach and they frolic around and look like they are gonna kiss. Hmmm..he did this exact same thing with his now ex-girlfriend Shannon Elizabeth. Interesting… Oh this is all in Derek’s mind the whole beach scene. haha!  Derek ends his fantasy with kissing the mirror b/c he thought he was kissing Joanna. haha! Oh funny stuff.  They have the chemistry down that is for sure. She stumbles on a balance trick because her dress kind of got caught, but other than that they looked amazing and sexy. Len thought the dance ticked all of their boxes of what they look for in a Rumba. Bruno called her a love goddess - but he called out the tiny stumble. Carrie Ann loves how she dances at her edge and loves watching her. Scores were all 9’s for a 27 out of 30.

Team Paso and Team Tango are up next. Joanna/Derek, Kelly/Louis, Donny/Kim are Team Tango. Team Paso consists of Mark/Anna, Aaron/Karina, Maya/Dmitry, and Mike/Anna. They play dramatic music and they all face off with a red light shining. Always trying to create the drama, ya know.

First up is Team Paso Doble and Michael asked Maya if she will be comfortable being the only female pro. She says she can hang. Karina and Lacey are conflicting with the choreography.   I thought Aaron looked like he was trying too hard in his solo. Michael has on the tense face and jerky movements, but his moves were way easier than Aarons. Mark had some nice posture but he also didn’t have a lot of content. Maya brings up the rear and her foot came up thus a lift, but she looked the best I think. Mark and I think Aaron did some handless cartwheels at the end to finished off with a bang..although I thought it was just ok. Bruno said it was strong powerful and dramatic - but sync was lost. He said Maya stood out. Carrie loved the intensity, but the choreography went out of sync and basic. She thought Mark redeemed himself. Len congratulated Michael for pulling the routine together and thought as they went along it got better and better. Scores were all 8’s for a 24 out of 30.

Team Tango consists of less couples which could be a blessing in disguise. Don is the only male and the girls are all gonna go after him. Someone hand me a spoon so I can gag myself further. I wonder if this is where he is going to be shirtless or was all that stuff on ET lies. Don is having issues b/c he thinks he is getting sick. Oooohhhh really? Hmmm…sure!  So far so good in the sync category. Kelly and Louis do their solo first and do lots of spinning. Donny and Kym are next and they do typical tango footwork which I would have liked to have seen with Louis and Kelly. Derek and Joanna are pulling up the rear and are also spinning and are intense. The in-sync-ness of this dance is spot on. They did way better than team Paso. I thought all three solos were good. They should fair better with the judges and get higher scores. Carrie is out on the floor wondering why they put a lift in. Len thought it was easier b/c the Tango is in hold unlike the Paso - he thought that it was much more superior. Bruno loved it all and pointed out all the good in each couple.  Scores were 2 9’s and a 10 from Bruno for a 28 out of 30.

I really liked Kelly and Louis tonight. Everyone else was just blah to me - Oh well, Maya was pretty good too. What do you think?  Who is in trouble this week? Mark and Mike? I think so!!
