Dancing with the Stars Week 9: The Semi-Finals

Posted By: admin On: November 17, 2009 Comments: ( 0 )

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.
