They'll be doing Solos in the Latin round.Sorry about not posting again sooner, but I had to restart my computer.
Dancing the Viennese Waltz to "Open His Eyes"?
Scores: 9-9-
10!9 for a total of 27. Bruno accidentally brought out his 10 paddle prematurely........We'll be looking back into their pasts, as well.....
Of course you snuck in while I was trying to fill in.
Light and frothy, well done.
Vince...where are you Vince.Didn't think to catch much. Viennese Waltz in blue. Didn't like the split skirt pants she had.
The "growth" over the season story of the group so far.
Score 9~9~
109Bruno had a paddle malfunction.
Last week they got their first perfect scores........Derek's neck/back is hurting more than usual the past few weeks...... to the point that he ahd to put a ThermaCare wrap on it during practice.......
Dancing the Argentine Tango to what sounds like traditional Argentine Tango music.......
I know they allow lifts in this, but step step lift, step step lifty lift lift was a bit much for me.
Derek's annual seasonal drama notwithstanding:Excellent! Excellent!
Scores: 10!-10!-10! for a perfect score of 30.Miley Cyrus and one other musical guest will be performing tomorrow......
Another Collegiate Dance Championship semifinal as well. I think Rutgers might've been one of the two schools mentioned....
Melissa Rycroft and Joey Fatone will be doing the Macy's Design A Dance, as well.......
Tomorrow also marks their 100th elimination!
This was profound? PUH-LEASE!
I miss LouisAnd I could have done without all the crotch shots, thankyouverymuch.
I was gonna say I liked this one.
Each to his/her own. As a performance, it was excellent, but was felt like a painting done only in primary colours.
Nothing wrong with primary colors.They were spectacular. No one else even comes close to them.
I can't wait until after tomorrow......: A break from the political gar-bage ads for a few months........ (in which I replace that by the Big Brother gar-bage.....)Last week, they had their first visit into the Bottom 2, and Chad didn't like it........
Dancing the Waltz to If You Don't Know Me By Now...
for me just meh. I'm kinda tired of him and the flingy head thing bothered me.Ooops, giving the growth trophy to Chad says Len.
Not impressed, as usual. I would much rather have had Niecy or Pam still in the competition.
About friggen time Wipeout comes back on the air....... June 1st. The only thing I probably won't like is that I can only tape what I'm watching, which means I can't do both Big Brother and either Wipeout or whatever joins it.......Scores: 9-9-9 for a total of 27
Evan finally revealed that one of the things that he lets his emotions shows is his nephew and a few others......Dancing the Fox Trot to I'm In Love? Life on a String?
Did they do any hold? Seemed more like a broadway side by side number to me. oh well, that's how they do foxtrot on this show.
LAST EDITED ON 05-17-10 AT 08:41 PM (EST)That was great! Very Entertaining. I'll be watching that on Youtube again.
I see what you mean, Snidget. More suited to SYTYCD that DWTS, but I really liked Evan's performance. He finally seemed to come alive.
Miley Cyrus sings "Can't Be Tamed" inside a cage? or is it "Can't Be Tamed In a Cage"? *shrug*Scores: 10!-9-10! for a total of 29, in 2nd place after the Ballroom Round...... (interesting that current Dead Friggen Last is Erin and Chad, tied with 27s........)
or did someone slip some joy juice into the judges drinks?
*passes Snidget more Sangria*I admit to being in great spirits! Maybe too great.
You'd think I'd be in a better mood, RussHell got no votes last night.
Maybe it is the rain. If I knew getting the plumber out to fix the outside faucet so I can water with the hose not a bucket was going to make it so I won't need to water for a very long time I'd have done it awhile ago.
It is very very soggy in my yard. Something like 3 inches of rain in the last 36 hours.
Maybe they want to keep it close and let America decide the Finalists?
Um, will that mean RussHell wil be in the finals?America lurves to vote for him.
*retch* I think I need your mega-*TWITCH*.......
Feel free to borrow it any time.
Ballroom Score: 27(Julie Chen) But First! (/Julie Chen)
We get to see the History of Erin Andrews......... including the Stalker/Peephole scandal........
Dancing the Paso Doble to You've Got the Look
Camera glitch during Erin's Solo which was toward the beginning of the dance, on the stage..... (camera looked at a dark part of the studio in anticipation of a future shot, I suppose......)
Maks fell at the end.I'm still grumpy, the costume thing didn't work for me.
Maks in a leather vest ........Was there any other wardrobe?
It is a family show, she had to be wearing something, right?
She?
Bruno got bleeped during his spiel......*retch* at the Band Pimpage
Scores: 10!-9-10! for a total of 29 for the dance, 56 for the night.......
I didn't think that dance deserved 10s....but I definitely want Erin to say over Chad, so I'm glad they gave them the higher scores. I hope her fans come through.Chad definitely got overscored for his 1st dance.
Originally from Hawai'i, moved to Kentucky when 6. In 5th grade she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up........Dancing the to Cha Cha Cha to Kiss. Her solo was at the beginning in a similar outfit to what Prince wore in the famous music video......... she was lip synching early, and they continued from there......
my poor ears.And tell them to stop lip synching. It is not good for their faces.
LAST EDITED ON 05-17-10 AT 09:04 PM (EST)*hides under the bed waiting for the onslaught regarding the solo*
I guess I'm grumpy too tonight, because I wasn't blown away by that dance.The packaged clip did make her story more sympathetic, but on the other hand, you could see that she's been dancing since she was little.
Agree. Kinda meh compared to her first dance.
Previous score: 30Scores: 10!-9-10! for a total of 29 for the dance, 59 for the night.
Tonight's Derek's birthday.........*shrug*
Tom booking Len as the birthday buzz kill did make me smile.
Previous score: 27Did we have to be subjected to T. O. during Chad's history piece?
Dancing the Samba to Alejandro? Don't Call My Name?
Chad's solo was towards the end of the dance, and shirtless.....
Lady Gaga--AlejandroShe performed it on AI.
Bruno will never take his clothes off again, so its a win-win.
When? This season? That would explain why that was the first time I've heard of it.......
http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID44/2949.shtml#13
That's what happens when I don't watch the American Idol results....... I think I was watching Mythbusters or something else......
I may have a new screensaver.
Shirtless Chad or my Twitch animation?
Maybe both
Scores: 8-8-9 for a total of 25 for the dance, 52 for the night. I guess I spoke too soon. Barring a major Evan crash and burn, he's gonna be DFL.Their most ambitious Finale ever? Everyone's gonna do new dances, and the Finalists are gonna do 4 dances? WoW.......
I've never been a fan of Ochostinko, but I thought he deserved higher scores for this--and lower scores for his waltz. I thought he was pretty good here.
Previous score: 29Dancing the Paso Doble to Bring Me To Life. His solo was mid-dance.
Definitely brought the drama.The solo reminded me a bit of the straight line footwork things they do in figure skating and I think that served him well.
Scores: 10!-10!-10! for a perfect 30 for the dance, 59 for the night, and tied for the lead!
Wow, that was awesome. Best solo of the night and best dance of the night!Where has he been hiding all the passion??!! I'm happy for Anna to finally make it to the finals...usually she gets stuck with duds.
Dare I say - that was hot! My goodness. Didn't know he had it in him.
Yep, it was a nice surprise. I think his freestyle would be really good too.
Go Evan! Great stuff!
Yeah -- I was surprised, he really has done well the past couple of weeks. I kind of feel bad about the nasty stuff I said about him earlier.
A great show, and great hosting.
Yes, thanks Vince and crew for great play by play.
Thanks!
