DWTS: October 27th….

DWTS: TONIGHT’S SHOW WAS…. Interesting?

I don’t know what happened to this week’s show.  It was a culmination of whining about health, poor dancing, Bruno’s temper tantrums, and bad Hip Hop. 

• Samantha Harris looked much better this week
• Kym’s hair extensions were cool
• Lacey looked really happy
• Michael Flatley, of Lord of the Dance, filled in for Len as a guest judge
• On my channel, they had an advertisement for an arthritis medicine that causes cancer… weird!

The “low-down” on this week’s couples:

Brooke & Derek

This week they had the Rumba.  It was nice.  Brooke’s got a foot injury, so it was obvious in the performance that she wasn’t in it 100%.  It was technically good and I really have no complaints.  However, she had this strange look on her face during the dance… was it that she was in pain?  Michael really liked the dance and gave it a 10.  I thought Bruno was going to hit him over the head with his paddle!

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 8

Len Goodman/Michael Flatley: 10

Bruno Tonlioni: 8

TOTAL SCORE: 28

 

 

Julianne & Cody

They had the Samba, I think.  Julianne is sick with endometriosis, but is getting an appendectomy?  I’m confused about how one diagnosis is related to the other… but, I’m not a doctor.  She wasn’t herself and her hair was really icky!  Shame on those hair-dressers!

Cody came out like a man possessed and was hitting everything entirely too hard.  But, he’s really trying and improving, so I’m cool with it.  I thought the dance was good, but it didn’t move me, emotionally.

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 8

Len Goodman/Michael Flatley: 8

Bruno Tonlioni: 7

TOTAL SCORE: 23

 

 

Cloris & Corky (aka “Clorky”)

They had the ChaChaCha this week.  Just what we need, another latin “maulfest” by Corky.  But, wait… no grabby grabby, feely feely.  Aaahhh.  Much better!

Cloris looked scared at the beginning of the dance.  I’m not sure what that was about.  Everything went pretty much as expected until Cloris did this funky move.  Then, Corky turned her around and got her in a another position to…. oh, no…. NOOOOO…. the airplane!  Her panties!  No, I did not want to see up her dress.  I actually screamed and my child came in to see what was happening.

I liked seeing Cloris’ husband George… is that her husband?  I’m not sure, exactly.  Bruno said to Cloris that she could “sell nonsense and people would buy it.”  Carrie Ann said that Cloris showed her that she didn’t have to behave when she got older.  But, then she insulted Cloris by telling her that she was upset that “we lost Toni Braxton for this?”

The Judges’ scores….

Carrie Ann Inaba: 5

Len Goodman/Michael Flatley: 5

Bruno Tonlioni: 5

TOTAL SCORE: 15 (Not enough to beat Susan…)

 

Maurice & Cheryl 

They were given the Viennese Waltz.  Let’s start by saying that if Cheryl is fat, I want to be fat!  She looked lovely.  Maurice was fine.  He shaved his moustache. 

Carrie Ann said that the dance needed chemistry.  Bruno went on and on about the dancer  is like the surfer on the crest of a wave and he looked like a surfer on dry land.  He then proceeded to tell him to be more of a “soulful surfer.”  Geez.

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 7

Len Goodman/Michael Flatley: 7

Bruno Tonlioni: 7

TOTAL SCORE: 21

Lance & Lacey

My favorite team won the top score of the night…. deservedly… and, not because none of the other couples emotionally showed up.  They did a strong dance and it looked super.  But, more of the whining and crying Lance about his InSync days of being the worst dancer… boo hoo hoo.  Stop it, Lance!  You sound like a baby.  Even Michael Flattley agreed and made a comment about it.

Lacey’s outfit was too cool!  I loved her shoes, especially!  Lance got “flick it” tips from Joey Fatone.  The dance was sharp.  Lance didn’t fall on the “slide.”  Bruno told them to “flaunt it.”  Michael told Lance no more “lack of confidence.”  Carrie Ann went bazerk and started talking like Len was dead. 

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 9

Len Goodman/Michael Flatley: 9

Bruno Tonlioni: 9

TOTAL SCORE: 27

Susan and Tony

Please, make it stop!  We don’t want to watch Susan’s version of herself “wild and untamed” because it’s the same as her tamed.  Their outfits were bad… footwork sucked… but, her shimmee was decent.  Susan continued with her “here are my arms, Tony, take them” maneuvers.  STOP! I’m getting a headache just writing about it.  Bruno commented on how their timing was off, at least somebody said something! 

The Judges’ scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 8

Len Goodman/Michael Flatley: 8

Bruno Tonlioni: 7

TOTAL SCORE: 23 (Are you freaking kidding me?!?  Give them a 15!   Susan’s a senior citizen too!   BOOOOOOOO!!!!!)

  

 Warren and Kym

Every week, I just enjoy them so much… they’re nearly in a dead tie with Lance and Lacey in my heart!

Warren doing the Rumba… hmmm… not sure how this is going to turn out.  Well, actually… not too bad.  It wasn’t his best dance, but… not too shabby.  Warren said that his Rumba would be “too sexy” for Brooke.  Not so much… but, good.

The best part was after the dance when Tom Bergeron tells Carrie Ann to stop flirting with Warren.  Then, Warren taps Tom in the head… like: “Stop it, bro!  It’s all good!”   

The Judges’ Scores…

Carrie Ann Inaba: 8

Len Goodman/Michael Flatley: 9

Bruno Tonlioni: 8 

TOTAL SCORE: 25 (Warren wants to keep Michael and not get Len back)

The Hip Hop Dance was… AWFUL!  Next time, skip the filler and end the show in an hour.  The rehearsal tape was good.  Cloris came in with a boombox and said, “Whatz up, homies?”  We heard Derek ask Brook, “You were in high school in the 80′s?!?!” She nods.   Cloris complains “Warren is too big.  I can’t be behind him!”  She goes on to claim that “Lance is dancing like a fool” and “so is Maurice and he is sweating like a bandit!”  Finally, as she shoves her face full of food, she lets us know that she doesn’t know about HipHop, but atleast the burritos were “delicious.” 

Then we suffer through tape of Warren and Maurice going at it, followed by Cloris threatening to beat Brooke (like that would happen).   Lance sported a mullet… uuuuuhhhh no.  Cloris and Corky only quasi-danced on the stage above.  But, the worst… SUSAN LUCCI… she should have been on the upper stage with Cloris and Corky!  She was as bad as Cloris and almost as old!  Get her voted off, people!

So…. my favorites of the night, in order of how much I loved them:

Lance & Lacey

Kym & Warren

Brooke & Derek

Maurice & Cheryl

Julianne & Cody

Cloris & Corky

Susan & Tony (Cool Daddy of twins with super white teeth)
