"DWTS#7, Finale Performance ECST"
Posted by vince3 on 11-24-08 at 04:38 PM
Tonight, we will see our Final 3 in two dances. The first one, all 3 will dance the same dance to the same music. The second one, is usually Freestyle, which means lifts are allowed, but considering how twisty this season has been, who knows?

Our Finalists are:

Lance and Lacey, who a couple of weeks ago were left for dead. Since then, however, they have peaked and are coming into this week riding the momentum of having the biggest differential in judges points ever from 1st to 2nd in the Semi-Final round.

Brooke and Derek, who, for most of the season, were the clear judges favorite, and had scores to back that up. They resided on the top of the judges leaderboard almost every week, but a couple of stumbles the past few weeks have hurt them and their fans were finally called in to bail them out.

Warren and Kym, who have consistently been in the middle of the pack with some roller coaster weeks in between, but have had some stumbles in the past week or so as well. Warren's travel schedule working for both the NFL Network, and Showtime's Inside the NFL haven't helped much, either. In fact, he was in Pittsburgh as part of the coverage of the Bungles-Steelers game this past Thursday....... and it was collllddddd that night.

Interesting. They are cute, and much more animated this time. I was voting for Tirill, though.
"Samba Smackdown"
Posted by vince3 on 11-24-08 at 08:36 PM
Brooke will be first, Lance will be second, and Warren will be last.

That's the order for the couple's portion, but they will also dance as a group for comparison's sake, including solos......

To be continued.... after the break.

The song is..........."Blame it on the Boogie"? Disco for a Samba Smackdown? WTF?

It wouldn't be a DWTS show without at least one inexplicable song choice.
"RE: Samba Smackdown"

Ye gads! That music.

Everyone did well, Brooke seemed to lose it for a second. But well done all.

Obviously the band has slipped Len some major $$$$$ to proclaim them the Best Band in the Land.......

5 votes per phone # for the Finals!

Scores for everybody!

Brooke/Derek: 9~9~10 for a total of 28

Lance/Lacey: 9~8~9 for a total of 26

Warren/Kym: 9~7~9 for a total of 25

I was wondering if Len was trying to convince us that the band is really good. We do have ears.

Yup. Theirs was the dance that stood out for me.
"RE: Samba Smackdown"
Posted by Loree on 11-24-08 at 09:43 PM
I like the idea that they all have to dance the same dance to the same music. It does help show us who is better. So often the music choice is the reason we like or hate someone's dance. This makes it more fair.

Take 2!

They're recovering from the Jive disaster of last week.

Derek tweaked his back so they had to be careful in practice this week.....

They decided to practice the lifts in Brooke's swimming pool.

Dancing Freestyle to "You're the One That I Want" (from Grease)

Dance involved a costume change mid-dance from a Greaser shirt and Poodle dress to Neon Pink dancing outfits......

Posted by vince3 on 11-24-08 at 09:06 PM
Tomorrow is a 2-hour live finale with Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys. Everyone will be back and also the couples will dance an additional dance tomorrow for judge's scores.......

Scores: 10~10~10 for a perfect 30 and 58 for the night.

"RE: Brooke and Derek"
Posted by whimsey on 11-24-08 at 09:07 PM
Agree on the outfits. Brooke has definitely lost that round, sexy figure, and now has a more bony, athletic frame. It would be a shame for her to lose votes, as the women celebs do, at this point. She is great.
"Lance and Lacey"
Posted by vince3 on 11-24-08 at 09:14 PM
or Lancey in short *eyeroll*

Dancing Freestyle (Hip-Hop, no lifts) to "Tricky" (which explains the Run-DMC "Lancey" logo on their shirts.....)

I have a dilemma , love lance, can't stand Lacey. What will I do???
Oh, I didn't like that at all. Why on earth would you do Hip Hop at this point?
"RE: Lance and Lacey"
Posted by kbrockm on 11-24-08 at 09:53 PM
I agree about the hip hop. Definitely not the right choice. Cute, but not enough. He disappointed me. He could have been a contender.

And as for your dilemma, Lance is competing, Lacey is only teaching. Ignore her.

My choice would be for Lance & Lacey to be booted first tomorrow night. Then I would be happy with either Brooke or Warren winning.

Lance & Lacey's freestyle was my least fave tonight.

"RE: DWTS#7, Finale Performance ECST"
Posted by kbrockm on 11-24-08 at 09:58 PM
Brooke deserves the win for sure. She has been consistently good since the beginning. I'd put Warren last, but that's because I judge it as a dance contest not an entertainment contest, and he's a great entertainer, but only a moderate dancer. Lance has elements of both. I, too, was disappointed in his freestyle tonight.

Posted by Snidget on 11-24-08 at 11:09 PM
I see Brooke as consistent but haven't really seen any growth. I like Lance because he really has come into his own over the course of the season. Warren has been consistently entertaining, but I also haven't seen much growth in him.

I could cope with a Brooke win, but I kinda hope Lance wins.

Hoping for a Lance win also, but would be okay with a Brooke win.
