"DWTS 11 Episode 13 ECST"
Posted by vince3 on 11-01-10 at 07:21 PM
Tonight marks their 200th episode! *woohoo* With that in mind, 50 Stars will be on hand tonight, 6 of which will be guest judging them doing the dance that landed them in the top 10 of all-time... (I think it's safe to eliminate the 3 Freestyles and Apolo's.... why in a bit)


Also tonight, it's a Team Dance showdown with Olympic and DWTS champions Kristi Yamaguchi and Apolo Anton Ono each captaining a team...

Tomorrow night's Results show starts at 8:00pm and runs for 90 minutes.


Also, I will be unavailable to do the commentary live next Monday night.... due to Steelers-Bengals that night.

Kinda felt sorry with Bristol with those two professional women as it is hard to keep up with those two.

That was pretty hot! Rick really stood out for me, Bristol just kinda stood.

Scores: 8-8-8 for a total of 24 for the couples.
"Team Apolo"
Posted by vince3 on 11-01-10 at 08:28 PM
Okay, the teams are also doing a bit of homage to their team captain's best dances...

Turns out that the drama fairy visited all parts of Team Apolo this week...


Dancing the Cha Cha Cha to Bust a Move


At least they were fair in having each team's captain's name in giant letters up on the stage...

"RE: Team Apolo"
Posted by whimsey on 11-01-10 at 08:31 PM
Well, that was kinda sad after the first group. The music betrayed poor Kurt. He couldn't hold up to the pro guys.
"RE: Team Apolo"

"RE: Team Apolo"
Posted by Snidget on 11-01-10 at 08:40 PM
I liked that, Kurt was a bit problematic, but didn't seem as out of place as Bristol, at least for me.
"Kyle/Lacey"

This version of the song might be sung a little better than the last time they sang it...

For this week the Guest Judge is score #1...

Scores: 10!-9-8-8 for a total of 35 for the dance, 59 for the night.

"Kurt/Anna"
Posted by vince3 on 11-01-10 at 08:52 PM
Guest Judge: Emmitt Smith

Dance: Simply Irresistable Tango


Since Anna can't understand how Kurt thinks it's hard... he takes her to the Arizona Cardinals practice to put her through some football drills for perspective...

"RE: Kurt/Anna"
Posted by whimsey on 11-01-10 at 08:55 PM
I didn't think this was one of Emmitt's best dances, but Kurt certainly had the face.
"RE: Kurt/Anna"
Posted by Snidget on 11-01-10 at 08:55 PM
They didn't seem to use as much of the same choreography like the first dance seemed to.

I was more distracted by thinking Anna didn't seem to fit in this dance as well as Cheryl did to really notice Kurt much.

are going to give a 10!

what is the point?

"RE: If all the guest judges"
Posted by Nume on 11-01-10 at 09:04 PM
The point is that the producers get to have their old popular stars on the show .
"RE: If all the guest judges"

OK so they don't have to give a 10! no matter what.

Kelly is soooo cute. Don't think Bristol was equal to the task.
"RE: Bristol/Mark"

Sharon doesn't look amused.

It was OK, but compared to how Kelly's felt and the emotion she expressed this really fell flat for me.

There goes the "guest judge gives 10" theory.
"RE: Bristol/Mark"
Posted by Nume on 11-01-10 at 09:19 PM
Things arent looking very positive for Bristol right now. I'd say she's almost guaranteed the lowest score unless rick really lays an egg in his individual dance. Of course she's been saved while lowest before, but yeah .
"RE: Bristol/Mark"
Posted by Loree on 11-01-10 at 09:57 PM
Way overscored. At this rate we will never get rid of her.

Miss Piggy called. She wants her dress back. Thankyew.

ETA: I feel I should add this because of what I just read somewhere. This is in no way a dig at Bristol Palin, I was googling the dresses miss piggy wears to add a picture and had no idea that Bristol was being called that! To clarify, my comment is aimed at whomever is picking out these horrid dresses for this girl! They totally look like something Miss Piggy would wear when she's trying to be all glamorous. Please please please find something nicer for Bristol to wear next time! Ugh!

"Rick/Cheryl"
Posted by vince3 on 11-01-10 at 09:19 PM
Guest Judge: Helio Castroneves

Dance: Hey! Pachuco! (The Mask) Quickstep


The dances are 'reinterpretations', which is how they're getting away with not exactly following the choreography from the previous star....

"RE: Rick/Cheryl"

*blink blink* Eliza Dushku

Wow, did not know about that!

That was a lot more fun than most of Rick's dances, but he's not no Helio.

Jennifer's whining and crying is getting on my nerves. Florence was alot older and never complained as much as Jennifer does.
"RE: Jennifer/Derek"
Posted by Nume on 11-01-10 at 10:00 PM
I dont really care that much if she complains some as long as she comes out and performs well. Also, Florence never had to do a routine even remotely close to as hard and physical as what Jennifer does every week...
"RE: Jennifer/Derek"

Team: Jennifer stop whining, either quit or suck it up

"RE: Jennifer/Derek"
Posted by SquidProQuo on 11-01-10 at 11:47 PM
I thought everyone (with the exception of Bristol) did well with their dances. It's not easy to recreate someone else's dance, especially such iconic dances like Mel B.'s Paso.

Bristol was definitely over scored. And I agree, Jennifer (and Derek) are getting on my nerves. Brandi is becoming more likeable.

Best line of the night was Maks correcting Brooke about his being in the finals 3 times!

"RE: Jennifer/Derek"
Posted by realworld10 on 11-02-10 at 08:55 AM
The way I see it - the stars sort of break down like this: Kurt and Bristol are very nice people that are in over their heads, Brandi and Jennifer are high-strung, very needy people that do have talent, and Rick and Kyle are a bit unusual. Rick is either very robotic (almost like marching) and Kyle looks like a little kid.

I'm not really sure who I am pulling for - I LIKE the likable ones - but they can't win. I DISLIKE the high maintenance ones because of their neediness. The middle two don't work for me either. Tough choices.

"RE: Jennifer/Derek"
Posted by Round Robin on 11-03-10 at 00:51 AM
What I hate is seeing good dancers get the boot for people who obviously are not the quality of any previous winners, and I hate seeing good people get the boot basically because of a weak fan base when the people with the fan bases suck at dancing. We have too much of that VFTW bull$hit going on these days, and I fear it might lead to a major screwjob this season.
