Posted By: admin On: April 14, 2009 Comments: ( 0 )

We are at the halfway point and tonight we have jives and rumbas. I LOVE JIVES! Don’t you? Jives and Quicksteps are my faves. Can’t wait to see what everyone will do tonight. First impressions…

Derek Hough is drssed as Elvis - a blonde one. Lacey Schwimmer is looking hot as are Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough. Chelsie Hightower has the American flag on. Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas look super sexy tonight (as sexy as one can get as a 17 year old). Melissa looks the same as weeks past wearing some loud yellow. Ty Murray has his cowboy hat on and looks super cute…I’ll comment more about the outfits as we get going here.

Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower are up first dancing the jive. Chelsie is focusing on Ty not being so stiffy this week aka robotic. She brings in a hula hoop and a miniature trampoline so he can feel the bounce. The hoola hoop - not too sure on what that is for - oh I guess to loosen his hips although I didn’t think the jive had much hips in it, but we’ll see what they do. He is dancing with his hat on at least starting with it on. He does splits over her and now she is dancing around him. They do some country line dancing moves which is perfect for him and this song. He has some nice HIGH kicks. He gets a little off with the timing of the music, but got back on with Chelsie’s help. They do the Benji Schwimmer slide at the end and land it nicely. I really liked it. He seemed in his element. Len says he thinks Ty looks bewildered sometimes, likes how he gives his all, and it took awhile to get started - and once it did start it wasn’t that good. Bruno thought the line dancing was good then the jive started. He said he went after it like a wild animal and none of the kicks and flicks were right. Hmmm..what? Carrie Ann thought it was an exciting jive, but said she didn’t think he found his footing. By the way her hair is yuck - their are no bangs and she has it slicked back with a high wave on top. Gosh, I can’t describe it, but I don’t like it. Bring back the bangs I guess. Scores were all 6’s for a 18 out of 30.

Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas have the sexy Rumba this week. She felt self conscious and embarrassed as I would too. Mark recreated her prom for her since she is missing it. Awww how cute is this! I’m not sure how much it will help, but I enjoyed watching it. She looks hot tonight with her hair and makeup. I’m not sure how the judges will feel, but I’ve got some goosebumps and yes, Carrie Ann, she kept her foot on the floor. They have short sexy moves where they pose and look all sexy. I liked it - it was hot! Crowd is on their feetsies. Bruno said it was so beautifully pure almost angelic and can see the hint of the devil - he tells her to work on the hip action. Carrie Ann thought this dance was difficult for her and can see the discomfort in her eyes at the beginning, but thought the second half was good. Len thought they got it just right - nice chemistry and he enjoyed the whole performance. Scores were 2 9’s and an 8 from Carrie Ann for a 26 out of 30.

Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska are jiving this week. I can’t wait to see the big guy do his flicks and kicks. He gets super irritated in practice and here comes Warren Sapp to cheer him up and give him a pep talk. He is going to “let it go” for Warren this week. Edyta has on hot pink as he does too. She looks kind of cute with these leg warmers and her front open. He is light on his feet, energetic and letting loose. His kicks look a bit controlled and I feel like he could even let more loose and really get in there and give the floor a beat down and did they just do a lift because it seems like it? Not sure if that is allowed in the jive or not. I’m sure Carrie Ann will tell us. Carrie Ann starts off saying he brought his groove back and she thought it was sooo enjoyable to watch - she did point out the lift. Len liked the basics and liked his lighter side of his personality and wants it to be lighter on his feet. Bruno thinks he should bring in Warren all the time and commented on his timing stating it was his best performance to date. Scores were 1 8 and 2 7’s from Carrie Ann and Len for a total of 22 out of 30.

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani have the sexy rumba this week and it really looks from practice that this might be her week to get all 10’s. She is really putting on the sexy face. I am liking what I see in practice that is for sure..she tells us it will be hot. Can’t wait. They dance to “If I were a Boy.” It has lots of slow and quick movements alternated which is what the rumba is all about. My fiance keeps saying how hot she is so I think she is accomplishing what she wanted to. I really liked Shawn and Marks better though. Len thought it was clean and precise and had interesting choreography. Len wanted it more earthly meaning less ballatic. Bruno said she is so exotic and loves the shapes her body gets into - he wants to see Melissa, the maneater, in the future. Carrie Ann loved the emotional quality she brought, but to work on hip action. Scores were all 9’s for a 27 out of 30.

Lil’ Kim and Derek Hough have the jive this week. They are probably doing it to an Elvis song because of Derek’s costume. I could be wrong though. It looks like Elvis in practice. If it is my mother will be sooooo happy. They go to a hoppin’ burger joint with classic cars to get Kim get into the jive vibe. Can’t wait for this!! She is showing LOTS O’ CLEAVAGE - I hope they don’t fall out when she does her kicks - ackk! They dance to “Jailhouse Rock.” Derek does the splits off the judges table - wow, they are spinning fast. Lil Kim is a cop in a sexy uniform and Derek is jailbate - cute. She gets off with the steps because it is just too darn fast, but quickly gets back on. It was high energy and fun and the crowd loved it, but she didn’t keep up with the timing or steps, but that wasn’t her fault - the choreography was too fast. The audience still loved it though cheering their faces off. Bruno says he’s guilty, arrest him, he’s guilty of love in the first degree. He thought they rocked! Carrie Ann stood up and screamed and lost some jewelry in the process. She screamed “Where’d my diamonds go?” LOL! She got her diamonds back. She thought Derek’s choreography was mind blowing. Len thought it was fun, had energy, and got carried away with the story of jailhouse rock (while Tom is getting in front of Lil’ Kim trying to hide her boobies - guess something did fall out). Len said it lacked a lot of jive and it was a tad theatrical. He didn’t consider it a ballroom jive and the audience boos. Scores were 2 10’s and an 8 from Len for a 28 out of 30. I’m sorry, but it wasn’t PERFECT - she got off on the steps and timing. Guess they didn’t see that due to the theatrics of it all. Oh well!

Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer have the rumba this week. This will be interesting to see Steve-O act sexy. LOL! Steve-O says this is the dance of love and intends to give the fans all the love he’s got. Lacey catches him picking his nose, itching his butt, and farting. Apparently the farts smell like mildew - ewww. She is wondering how she can fall in love with him when he is doing all these nasty things. Lacey brings in his dog and tells him to bring that softer side that he has with his dog to this dance. Um, we’ll see about that. Lacey is wearing sexy sleepwear (shorts, bra, robe) very pretty. His face isn’t so sexy here, but it will do i guess for Steve-O. They didn’t have much hips and she danced around him a lot. Hey look at that - wee man is in the audience and the crowd is standing - couldn’t tell that wee man was. LOL! Carrie Ann said there was something oddly mesmerizing about watching him dance. She was totally taken in - she loved his honesty and vulnerability. She loved the hand details and thought it was a long way from last week. Len said there was no hip action, footwork, and it was no good. Bruno said Lacey looked hot. Bruno liked his charm, but the dancing is bad. My fiance agrees that Lacey’s outfit is hot. Scores were 7 from Carrie Ann, 4 from Len, and a 5 from Bruno for a total 16 out of 30.

Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke have the jive this week. He will need to let it out and have fun this week. He is looking a bit awkward and Cheryl is putting the smack down on him. She takes him to the soccer field and he kicks the ball and does jive moves which is pretty hilarious with his yellow tube socks all the way up to his knees. He is wearing all black with a nice vest showing his tan chest. He jumps off the stage and wow this dance is fast too like Derek’s. Derek has Cheryl’s number - he also does the Benji Schwimmer slide. Man, I couldn’t take my eyes off of them to even type. I didn’t want to. They were awesome!! Cheryl is pleased! Queen Latifah is on her feet and Cristian de la Fuente is in the audience as well clapping for his former partner, Cheryl. Len thought it showed a lot of the qualities needed for the jive: quick footwork, bounce and it was a pity that he went wrong on a few steps right in front of him. He also thought it was a little frantic. Bruno called it fast and furious and he likes how he puts 110% on everything he does, but to watch the speed b/c he is losing sharpness. Carrie Ann loves how he is showy and wants him to work on his shoulders/small hand movements. Scores were 2 9’s and an 8 from Len for a 26 out of 30.

Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough will need to bring their romance to the dance floor tonight. This shouldn’t be too hard since they have a relationship. He doesn’t want to mess up b/c he doesn’t want the judges to think they don’t have chemistry. He is frustrated with her in practice because she is being aggressive and mean to him and he doesn’t like it. They go to the Santa Monica pier where they had their first date where they have a day of fun. They go on the ferris wheel where they had their first kiss and awwww..how sweet this all is. Now, let’s see what they’ve got. My fiance is loving her outfit which also looks like lingerie with black lace stockings. They do a lot of poses, but something is weird with his neck/chin. It reminds me of Jack Tripper from 3’s Company when he does that crazy face. I could feel the passion though and towards the end it was getting hot. I liked it. Bruno would like some more of that please. LMAO! And Carrie Ann does too who can’t contain herself. Bruno said he switched on the raunch factor and called them Mr. and Mrs. Wicks in reference to Mr. and Mrs. Smith (gag b/c it is Angelina and Brad), but I like the reference. Bruno said keep on in that same direction. Carrie Ann loved the passion and to work on technique like Bruno said - she thought it was very sexy. Len thought parts of that were more suited for the bedroom than the ballroom. He said he’s a problem b/c he is going from one extreme to the next and thought it was too raunchy and in his face. Len is driving me nuts tonight - he is always calling for more raunch and when it is given to him on a silver platter he doesn’t like it. Scores were 2 8’s and a 7 from Len for a 23 out of 30.

Steve-O and Lawrence will be in trouble this week. I’m not sure how far Steve-O’s fans can take him anymore and tomorrow night his number might be up. It will all come down to fan base (who has more fans - Steve-O or Lawrence Taylor). I’ll get back to you on that.
