Dancing with the Stars; it’s the 7th week
It’s week 7 and I have one question about tonight’s show (Nov. 3) - will Cloris Leachman really be back? While she may return, this time it will have to be as an audience member since she and her dance partner were voted off last week.
Tonight’s show will feature one new element, a team dance competiton where competitors will turn teammates and share the resulting score.
Tongiht’s show.
Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson
Tonight’s dance - The Fox Trot It didn’t seem as though Warren’s found his grove back.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 7 - It wasn’t a classic fox trot. It wasn’t your best dance.
Bruno Tonioli - 7 - After the promising beginning… the technique went into recession
Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - You were not performing the normal Warren. Total Score 21 out of 30
Susan Lucci & Tony Dovolani
Tonight’s dance - Pasa Doble Where they just
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 8 - I thought that was up with your best dances.
Bruno Tonioli -8 - Well Done.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 8 - You struggled with your power on the floor. Total Score 24 out of 30
Maurice Greene & Cheryl Burke
Tonight’s dance - Cha Cha Before the dance tonight, we learn of yet another injury. Maurice hyper extended his leg. Their version of the Cha Cha was unlike anything I’ve seen before on DWS.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 9 - It was like cheap jewelry… dazzling.
Bruno Tonioli -8 - happy days are here again for Maurice.
Carrie Ann Inaba -8 - It’s nice to see you bring your A game. Total Score 25 out of 30
Cody Linley & Edyta (in for Julianne Hough who is recovering)
Tonight’s dance - Viennese Waltz It is so hard to take him seriously with that smile. Overall it was a pretty good effort considering.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman -7 - didn’t look too comfortable doing the Viennese Waltz
Bruno Tonioli - 7 - It was like watching a fledgling bird… not quite able to take off.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 8 - I thought it was great. Total Score 22 out of 30
Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
Tonight’s dance - Rumba Before the dance gets underway, we get to see just how tense the behind the scene moments are getting as the season progresses. DRAMA! The couple is Dancing barefoot! This might be a Dancing with the Stars first. My guess is that Len won’t like it. I thinkg the did a great job… BTW Kathy Griffin is in the audience.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 7 - I didn’t get it.
Bruno Tonioli - 9 - Barefoot in the park has never been more romantic or seductive…
Carrie Ann Inaba - 9 - That was fantastic! Your best dance. Total Score 25 out of 30
