Programming note: I was at a conference all weekend. I'm tired, very very tired. If I pass out, just carry on. I apologize in advance for any more incoherent than usual ramblings.

Have to take on a style they haven't yet done individually. Freestyle later on in the evening.

Len: Action Packed, good timing good rhythm. could have been more fluid, dance deserving of the final.

Bruno. Never been hotter, sometimes a slight lack of fluidity but fantastic.

Carrie Ann. Living the dance, not just performing the dance. That is confidence at its best

Scores after the break.

9~9~9 27/30

Interesting. I wonder what the boys will score.

Cheryl has a flat Len and an 11 paddle.

Dancing the Waltz. Helped with Bruno in rehearsals.

That could have been smoother, not bad, but not great.

Bruno. Flowing and Glowing, so full of expression. Continuity of lines. A few footwork mess ups.

Carrie Ann. Like the male version of Cinderella who made it to the ball.

Len. Good hold good posture, more rise and fall than Pam Anderson jogging. Simple, but simply beautiful

Scores after the break.

9~9~9 27/30

Had an X-ray of the ankle. OK to dance.

Len visits them for the Cha Cha rehearsal.

Was hoping I'd at least get home in time to see JR. That seemed a bit off from the music, or the music was off. Wonky.

That seemed kinda slow, and just didn't quite do it for me.

Carrie Ann. The magic of JR they just fall in love with your spirit. Musicality was a bit off. Watch your arms.

Len. Brave that you did a lot of that dance solo. JR this wasn't that good. Off time, messed up the New York. Lot of mistakes. Enthusiasm got the better of you.

Bruno. Liked the mood you set. Intensity and the latin feel. Hands in the beginning out of place.

Scores after the break.

8~7~9 24/30

7 in the finals is not a good sign. Wonder what's really going on? We all no he can do better.
"RE: J.R. and Karina"

It wouldn't surprise me if he's still having issues from the ankle. Even if the pain is gone he may be careful enough of it that it could effect the performance.

Picture that makes her look shorter and fatter at the beginning

Was it me or was that all about Derek?

Len. Fun entertaining, lost it a bit in the quickstep section.

Bruno. Explosive coming out. Most demanding of dances. Salsa and Quickstep, extremely difficult.

Carrie Ann. Effortlessly went from the extremes. Comments on her in the lifts.

Scores after the break.

Ricki elbowed Derek in the jaw

Kind of a mashup of random tough, demanding elements strung together with Derek's showing off. Interesting - entertaining - scary.

eta - that picture was horrible, I tried to adjust my format it was so distorted.

"RE: Ricki and Derek"
Posted by zookeepertx on 11-21-11 at 09:43 PM
Knew the judges would love it, because I didn't like it much! Ricki still doesn't move her hips & can't shake her shoulders. Derek should have toned down his "shoulder shakes" to make it not so obvious.

Also, judges? Two dances at opposite ends of the spectrum? Ummm, I didn't think so. I'd feel like maybe Salsa & Viennese Waltz were opposites!

Glad the judges didn't give them 10's; I'd have had to just quit & go to bed, LOL! Still don't think it was a 9 dance; I'd have given it an 8.

Lots of props on stage - not promising. Dammit he did a good job.
"RE: Rob and Cheryl"
Posted by Snidget on 11-21-11 at 09:48 PM
Nice job, liked the slow into the fast.

Bruno. Brilliant content, execution, performance. Peaked at the right time.

Carrie Ann. Often won or lost in the free style, consider Carrie Ann Blown.

Len. Moocher takes and never gives. You've given it your all.

10~10~10 30/30 57/60

He never thought he'd get a perfect score.

None of us did, Rob, at least not me.

"RE: Rob and Cheryl"
Posted by zookeepertx on 11-21-11 at 09:52 PM
Seriously? A perfect score for Rob/Cheryl?!?! GEEZ! I don't THINK so! Maybe 9's, but not 10's. I was bored with it.

JR worried about this lift where he has to hook her neck and she's had surgery on her neck. Problems in dress rehearsal.

Whine Up

"RE: J.R. and Karina"
Posted by whimsey on 11-21-11 at 09:56 PM
More of a "club dance" that a ballroom dace. I just don't get what's going on with JR - maybe it was better than I thought.
"RE: J.R. and Karina"
Posted by zookeepertx on 11-21-11 at 09:58 PM
AWESOME!!! Should have been 11's!!
"RE: J.R. and Karina"
Posted by Snidget on 11-21-11 at 09:58 PM
Carrie Ann. Dances, that is the way to come back. Sickest lifts I've ever seen.

Len. Two things revealed, Karina's Body and your talent.

Bruno. Standing up. Jungle, tribal, animal or something like that.

JR helped Karina through the panic after the dress.

10~10~10 30/30 54/60 total.

"RE: J.R. and Karina"
Posted by whimsey on 11-21-11 at 10:06 PM
Thank goodness! I'm glad I was wrong about that one.

It occurred to me that: Could Ricki have started holding back to push JR ahead and it backfired when he was injured? Not realizing that Rob would blossom? Of course, I'm ever the conspiracy theorist. I just can't have a final 3 of JR, Ricki and Rob!!.
