With the elimination of Chris/Cheryl, we're now down to 6 couples, and that means it's time for them to now have to learn two dances... Now, whether there will be something special about the 2nd dance or not, we'll find out when we get going..

Team Dances: Hines/Kym, Kirstie/Maks, and Kendra/Louis vs. Ralph/Karina, Chelsea/Mark, and Romeo/Chelsie...
"BIG Intro!"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 08:03 PM
Ballroom greats to be honored this week...


I think the Team Dances will be up first, since each team is dressed similarly...

"RE: BIG Intro!"
Posted by whimsey on 05-02-11 at 08:05 PM
Yep, looks that way.
"Guest Judge"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 08:05 PM
For the individual dances, they got the world's most in-demand dance instructors...

Donnie Burns is our guest judge: 16-time World Professional Latin Championships... and he's been undefeated for 20 years... and he's in slot #1 tonight.

"Team Chelsea"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 08:09 PM
We get to see highlights of the drafting of the teams.

Teams will be judged particularly on staying in formation...

Problem for Ralph is that he hasn't done a Cha Cha Cha yet... and their formation dancing is a bit lacking with time running out in rehearsal...


Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to Born This Way (Man they use a lot of Gaga songs for these team dances these past couple of years...)

*cue the letter campaign to the FCC*

Because I was born this way with gay and bi in the lyrics is going to pull some people right out of their post-Osama afterglow.

Fun, still like to see Ralph really let the latin go, but better than he usually does with latin.

ETA: *snort* I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure.

I think I need that as a tagline.

"RE: Team Chelsea"
Posted by whimsey on 05-02-11 at 08:12 PM
Or as I call them, "Team S&M". I hoped Kendra was on the team instead of Ralph, there would have been more balance. Nice job.

When they do team dances, the team that loses usually has one of their team members go home that week...

Scores: 8-8-7-7 for a total of 30 out of 40...

"RE: Team Chelsea"

Another reason for Kendra to be on this team.

I think it was obvious that Kym was doing the picking and she was picking pros over celebs.
"Also..."

DWTS was the #1 rated show last week!
"Team Hines"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 08:24 PM
While the Pros were working on the formation choreography, the Stars danced a little together...

Houston, we have a problem... Kirstie/Maks didn't practice their individual part of the team dance...


Just after Louis talked about the team's maturity... Kendra farted...


Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to Hot and Dangerous

"RE: Team Hines"
Posted by whimsey on 05-02-11 at 08:27 PM
Or as I call them, "Team T&A". That was fun.
"RE: Team Hines"
Posted by Snidget on 05-02-11 at 08:29 PM
That was fun, I'm not sure which team I'd score higher.
"RE: Team Hines"
Posted by Loree on 05-02-11 at 08:37 PM
I think the second group had a harder dance. The first did a little better but had easier choreo. So it all balanced out to even.
"RE: Team Hines"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 08:32 PM
Scores: 7-7-8-8 for a total of 30, so the teams tied!
"RE: Team Hines"
Posted by Snidget on 05-02-11 at 08:33 PM
So that was a useless exercise.
"RE: Team Hines"
Posted by whimsey on 05-02-11 at 08:36 PM
No, not useless, now they can vote of Kendra with a clear conscious.
"RE: Team Hines"
Posted by Loree on 05-02-11 at 09:51 PM
Every season since Derek joined the show his team has won this. With Derek gone I don't think the judges knew which team to give the win to. So they had to make it a tie.

Lucca Barichi

Shirley Ballas (Mark's Mom!)

"Chelsea/Mark"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 08:45 PM
Last week's Quickstep was full of zest and they got one of the first 10s of the season...

Shirley came in for their rehearsals... and it's time for no smiling!

Some things were good, but sometimes it didn't quite work for me.
"RE: Chelsea/Mark"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 08:50 PM
James Blount and Nicki Minaj for the muscial guests and Wayne Brady doing a tribute to Little Richard...

Also, a special episode again at 8 tomorrow... probably just highlights, though...

Scores: 8-9-8-9 for a total of 34 for the dance, 64 for the night.

"RE: Chelsea/Mark"
Posted by Snidget on 05-02-11 at 08:51 PM
Um maybe that funny hand movement on the way to the celebriquarium was what I thought it was based on Mark's Diva comments during the interview.
"RE: Chelsea/Mark"
Posted by altpeach on 05-03-11 at 11:47 AM
I think the tribute is to James Brown, not Little Richard.

I was not wowed. The music and the dance did not flow for me.

"RE: Chelsea/Mark"
Posted by Loree on 05-02-11 at 08:56 PM
Mark's goofy faces bothered me again.
"RE: Chelsea/Mark"
Posted by millie on 05-03-11 at 00:21 AM
Okay Mark, quit with the attitude! Remember your words from last season, how the show is supposed to be fun, so stop taking it so seriously! enjoy and have fun with your partner!
"RE: Chelsea/Mark"

Loved Tom's description of Mark, "Man of a thousand faces"
"Kendra/Louis"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 08:58 PM
Louis is making the choreo tough this week... and Kendra's feeling the pressure...

Lucca comes in to help them out, and to try to get her to loosen up...


Dancing the Tango to Jealousy

"RE: Kendra/Louis"
Posted by whimsey on 05-02-11 at 09:00 PM
I'd like a grande Lucca Barichi with extra foam, please.
"RE: Kendra/Louis"
Posted by Snidget on 05-02-11 at 09:00 PM
I don't know which was more awkward, her posture in the hold or the clashing orange-red and fuchsia dress.
"RE: Kendra/Louis"
Posted by Loree on 05-02-11 at 09:01 PM
Her personality turns me off so I can't enjoy her.
"RE: Kendra/Louis"

Scores: 8-8-7-8 for a total of 31 for the dance, 61 for the night...

Posted by qwertypie on 05-03-11 at 02:05 AM
Could she point her toes at least once? It would make (at least visually) a huge difference.
"Kirstie/Maksim"
Posted by vince3 on 05-02-11 at 09:06 PM
She got her highest scores yet last week... Shirley came in for assistance... but after she left, Maks kicked her butt up and down the studio... and Kirstie had a couple of breakdowns...


Dancing the Jive to La Bamba

"RE: Kirstie/Maksim"
Posted by Snidget on 05-02-11 at 09:09 PM
I like watching her dance but I'm getting tired of the bent arm little girl thing. I'd like to see her extend the arms more of the time then see them always in the default position.
"RE: Kirstie/Maksim"

I enjoyed the dance because it told a story. I still prefer her dances to the goofy dances Mark does with his partners.

Kirstie is entertaining and I was entertained.

"RE: Kirstie/Maksim"
Posted by millie on 05-03-11 at 00:08 AM
Kristie gets a 9. These judges really want her in the finals. Hoping she off by next week!
"RE: Kirstie/Maksim"
Posted by qwertypie on 05-03-11 at 02:13 AM
I was impressed that she had to dance such a high energy dance so soon after the group number.

They're trying to recover from the fall from last week... Lucca comes in to help them out...

Ralph's body is saying 'Uncle' this week from both dances...


Dancing the Quickstep to Nothing's Gonna Bring Me Down

"RE: Ralph/Karina"

That was fun. He's so much better in the ballroom dances.
"RE: Ralph/Karina"

Scores: 10!-9-8-9 for a total of 36 for the dance, 66 for the night, and the new leaders! (His first 10)
"RE: Ralph/Karina"
Posted by Loree on 05-02-11 at 09:42 PM
Ralph's whining about his aches and pains was reminding me of Jennifer Grey last season. He needs to quit it. Kirstie is 11 years older than him.

Way to go Ralph! Best dance of the night! Way to comeback!
"Hines/Kym"

Hines trying to bring out his Silent Assassin to take out Romeo, since he got a 10...

Lucca helps Hines out with a different perspective and he gets a visit from Jerome Bettis (The Bus and his former teammate)


Dancing the Tango to traditional Tango music, it seems...

Very nice, even though costuming only finished 1/2 of Kym's dress.

Oh, it's James Brown that Wayne Brady will be doing a tribute to...

"Romeo/Chelsie"

They Waltzed their way into the judges' hearts and the top of the leaderboard...

Shirley helps them out and immediately he went 'naughty boy'...


Dancing the Samba to Hey I Be Gone Today (watch out for that bonfire on stage, though...)
