Dancing with the Stars - Jumping jives and topless tangos
Ignore what it says up there, this one’s by guest blogger Katie Wedell!
After last week’s unprecedented - I think they want us to gasp here - double elimination, the stars all seemed ready to bring it this week.
Tom seemed ready for action as well with awkward references to 900 numbers and mirror balls - but back to the dancing.
Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez - Dancing the Jive
My Take - Underwhelming, but Marlee looked gorgeous!
Carrie Ann Inaba - Declared she’s getting nit-picky and then something about pancake hands. Score 7
Len Goodman - Thought it was sharp. Score 7
Bruno Tonioli - Lost the timing a couple of times. Score 7
Steve Guttenberg & Anna Trebunskaya - Dancing the man-on-man tango - “I love dancing the tango with Jonathan. He’s very hairy.”
My Take - There was more chemistry between Steve and Jonathan.
Carrie Ann Inaba - “Your best dance so far.” Score 7
Len Goodman - Footwork was fantastic. Score 7
Bruno Tonioli - “Mean, madly, manly!” Score 7
Cristian De La Fuente & Cheryl Burke - Dancing the Jive
My Take - Made me smile, especially when Cristian kicked out a stage light on the final pose.
Carrie Ann Inaba - Sparked some debate when she said Cristian’s arm looks like a little claw. Score 8
Len Goodman - Arms and legs were loose. Score 8
Bruno Tonioli - “;Are you on rocket fuel tonight?” Score 9
Mario & Karina Smirnoff - Dancing the Tango
My Take - Mario looked more confident than Karina - but then almost danced into the lap of a horrified audience member.
Carrie Ann Inaba - “When you dance you have style.” Score 7
Len Goodman - It was a mess. Score 6
Bruno Tonioli - “You can do better, but I didn’t think it was a pile of…” and then Bruno almost got bleeped. Score 8
Shannon Elizabeth & Derek Hough - Dancing the Jive
My Take - From the cartwheels to the last kicks I absolutely loved it!
Carrie Ann Inaba - “Every time you come out here you surprise us.” Score 8
Len Goodman - “What I saw tonight was a really good jive.” Score 8
Bruno Tonioli - Apparently loves a girl who goes all the way. Score 8
Adam Carolla & Julianne Hough - Dancing the Tango - “I Googled Tango…it’s about prostitutes and pimps.”
My Take - Actually liked the tango - hated Julianne’s costume.
Carrie Ann Inaba - “Adam Carolla was quite sexy out there.” Score 7
Len Goodman - Congratulated Julianne on making Adam look like a dancer. Score 7
Bruno Tonioli - Adam’s getting better. Score 7
Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani - “It’s fast, it’s flicky, it’s kicky,” - It’s the Jive.
My Take - An Avril Lavigne song and sparkly argyle - I think she’s out this week.
Carrie Ann Inaba - “That was boring.” Score 6
Len Goodman - A little bit careful. Score 7
Bruno Tonioli - “It was like a jive on cruise control.” Score 6
Priscilla Presley & Louis Van Amstel - Dancing a tantalizing Tango
My Take - Wow! My grandmother never wore a red, sequined garter. Awesome!
Carrie Ann Inaba -“I was mesmerized by you.” Score 8
Len Goodman - “Passion, drama, fire and ice!” Score 9
Bruno Tonioli -“The hot cougar tango!” Score 9
Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska - Dancing the Jive
My Take - Who can pay attention to footwork when Jason is wearing tight pants and Edyta is wearing - not a lot.
Carrie Ann Inaba - Thinks Jason’s lines are breathtaking. Score 8
Len Goodman - “No jive action in it.” And then something about roosters and feathers. Score 7
Bruno Tonioli - “What can I say, I liked it.” Score 8
Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas - Dancing the Tango
My Take - Just give them the mirror ball thing already.
Carrie Ann Inaba - Kristi’s technique is amazing, but CA wants some more emotion. Score 9
Len Goodman - A great routine. Score 9
Bruno Tonioli -“I want you to be a dirty girl.” Score 9
Who do you think is going home this week? Did you vote? Do you miss Craig?
