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!!
