"Dancing With The Stars #6 Episode #15 East Coast Update Thread"

Please keep all sigpic-free discussion of tonight's lift-filled show (including both dancers going into the air and Len being placed on a stretcher when he realizes he can't deduct points for it any more) on this thread until the West Coast gets to see just what new minutae of style our panel will have to pick on now. (Early bet: proper presentation of fingernails.)

Actually, I think it will be more mayhemiest (I love making up new words!) as there will be arguments whether more than one lift was performed and whether or not the lift was within the character of the dance. Let the drinking ensue!

In honor of Cinco de Mayo:

Drink of the night

Margaritas! Pomegranate and mango, to be exact. Frozen, on the rocks, with or without salt....name your poison.

They're out for revenge, since they were in 2nd for the first time this season.......

They got the Quickstep and Samba this week. We get to see some of the practiced lifts that they were thinking for the dances.....

Dancing the Quickstep to some kind of Boogie Woogie music that I can't figure out the title of........

This time, Carrie's the Gloomy Gus saying that they had a slight footwork issue at one point........

I have a suspicion about Cristian's first number: He only has one glove on his right hand and he's in a white suit...... That sounds like a recipie for "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson to be his song choice....... and something like the Quickstep as the dance......


"Mario and Karina"
Posted by vince3 on 05-05-08 at 08:18 PM
A slight comment about the footwork issues from last week.....

Since crashing into the mats became a little painful, they decided to try practicing the lifts out at the pool.....

They're dancing the Jive and the Viennese Waltz (Jive is a Latin dance?)

Dancing the Viennese Waltz to "Some People Want It All"

Jive counts as Latin/Rhythm rather than Ballroom/Smooth

That wasn't dancing. That was structured walking with a lift at the end.

Aren't both shows in the same building? (I think I read that because they'd love to do a Tom/Ryan swap some night, but being on different networks TPTB keep balking)

He never thought that his first severe injury would be from dancing.......

They're dancing the Tango and the Mambo this week. Cheryl's concerned about Cristian doing any kind of lifts due to his injury........

Dancing the Tango to "Beat It" Ow! (Right artist, wrong song..... and it's too slow!)

They did do a good job of hiding the arm problems. Not sure if they can keep that up for long, but they managed it for this dance.

Didn't think he deserved the raves for this particular number. There were some parts that were listless and dead.

That was off, kind of disjointed. Nothing to grab onto.

All the grabbing was taken up by the glue needed to keep the scraps of fabric Edyta calls a costume on.

That was painful to watch.

Didn't they dance a samba? (I know you couldn't tell by watching him)


"RE: Jason and Edyta"
Posted by vince3 on 05-06-08 at 10:49 AM
Since Mambo and Samba sound similar, and I was having connection problems at that time, I went with what I thought I heard from the announcer dude, and didn't look back.

That was supposedly a Samba, yes.

"Overall judging"
Posted by Chez on 05-06-08 at 12:55 PM
I did not like the judging last night at all. I thought Christian made a valiant effort, but it was all so obvious (nearly painful to watch) he was not really using the bad arm. To have him and Cheryl at the top of the leader board was flat out wrong. I thoguht the critiques of Kristie/Mark and Jason/Edytta were way overboard. What are the judges trying to accomplish?

Posted by shaneperry on 05-07-08 at 10:01 AM
Marissa & Tony should have gone home last night, but i guess Marissa got all the "plus" size women vote. She is clumsy and goofy with no grace. Also how did Mario win the best of all time dance ? Was it because he's on broadway now ? and promoting his show. Stacy should have that.
