Two individual rounds with a Cha Cha relay

Argentine Tango in DWTS allows lifts.

Ah, what probably explains some of Hope's tensing in hold. She's got a really messed up shoulder and that is one big needle going into it.

I didn't like the chains at the first, not really needed. The dance lost it's fire right away. Love Maks' outfit!

"RE: Hope and Maks"
Posted by Snidget on 11-14-11 at 09:11 PM
Len. I think it is amazing to do three dances in one week. What I liked was you had attitude and aggression, but lost some finesse.

Bruno. Unchained and Untamed. Went so far with it, Control is as important as energy, nearly killed Len whirling around.

Carrie Ann. Good with Character of the dance, but the grace and fluidity suffered.

Scores 7~7~7 21 out of 30

Yikes!

Maks thanks everyone and everybody for everything they ever did.

Tom: It's the new stepford Maks.

"RE: J.R. and Karina"
Posted by Snidget on 11-14-11 at 09:23 PM
He twisted it again. I thought it looked like one of the steps could have.

Bruno. I could feel the thrill of the chase. Roll play was great. Posture wasn't quite there, and a couple of timing issues.

Carrie Ann. Give you credit for the attack with your injured ankle. It did effect your posture, it suffered. Some uncertain pauses. Want to see you come back strong.

Len. It is what it is. This dance didn't suit you. More zero than Zorro. As much as I feel for you, I have to mark it as I see it.

Muppet invasion tomorrow.

8~7~8 23 out of 30

"RE: J.R. and Karina"

The 1st dance for JR and Karina was good. Imo, twisted ankle or not, it was better than Hope/Maksims 1st dance.

Tom wanted to put a pedometer on his butt.

Carrie Ann. Who are you? BootyBootyBootyBooty. Didn't miss anything it was fluid and fantastic.

Len. Also had issues with the float. Oh yes once you were on the floor.

Bruno. How you turn a handicap into an #####-et

Derek and Anna will be doing the design a dance.

I suppose no reality star could match Kelly Osborne for me on this show. Rob in not even close to her transformation. His success is in how badly his sis did. Good performance, but not great to me.

eta: so over scored.

Far superior to Rob's samba. Lots of musicality and technical elements.

could have been a bit more shake in the shimmy.

Len. No chains no float, fabulous fabulous took a giant step into the finals.

Bruno. Sizzling hot bright and brilliant, I am dazzled.

Carrie Ann. It made all the difference, how technique makes a difference.

scores after the break

Travis Wall's Mom skyped with Ricki about her shoulders.

Oh *&@^# - a perfect 30! Gee, who could have seen THAT coming?! And, they'll have the pmp spot all night long. This damb show is SO freakin unfair, it's getting on my LAST nerve!

"RE: Hope and Maks"
Posted by whimsey on 11-14-11 at 10:04 PM
That was very well choreographed! There was an opportunity for her to shine, but at times Maks was throwing around a sack of potatoes. Even in that beautiful get-up she was still a bit clunky. Not graceful.
"RE: Hope and Maks"
Posted by qwertypie on 11-15-11 at 01:56 AM
Yeah, her lines were not good at all. If only she would have pointed her toes, it would have looked better.
"RE: Hope and Maks"
Posted by Snidget on 11-14-11 at 10:06 PM
Nice job of that.

Len. Far better than the Paso. Lifts were clean, lot of content. Buffet of tasty morsels laid out in front of me.

Bruno. Sexy, was some report there, more controlled.

Carrie Ann. More fluidity, working with each other. Ins and out some of the grace into wasn't quite there. Very ambitious and I give you credit for that.

Cobra Starship as well as Muppets tomorrow.

8~8~8 24 out of 30 45 out of 60.

Next week 7 dances (Brooke is kidding)

"RE: Hope and Maks"
Posted by Round Robin on 11-15-11 at 02:22 AM
The story of Hope not playing in the Brazil match in the 2007 World Cup was pretty notorious among those of us who watched it. To make a long story short, the coach made a horrible decision and benched Hope in favor of an over the hill old timer, Hope reacted very badly due to all the emotional factors related to her dad's death and the Brazil match, and the coach and the other players reacted very badly to her reaction and treated her like $hit. All these years later I'd still like to see that damn coach get publicly hung, but at least they did fire the son of a B, and the players who treated her like $hit then who are still playing have been supporting her on DWTS.

That was breathtaking! I think the pain of the injury made him less happy-go-lucky and more intense. Very nice.
"RE: J.R. and Karina"
Posted by Snidget on 11-14-11 at 10:18 PM
JR doesn't look happy.

Bruno. Strong fearless, For a man to do those lifts incredible job.

Carrie Ann. There was a true fire that connected you. How to negotiate the mounts and dismounts, and you commanded it.

Len. Mood, intensity, back streets of Buenos Aires.

Tom, I'll talk slow so you can make your way up the stairs.

Doc retaped him, wants to come back and redeem himself. How hard we've worked for three months, this is not the time to quit.

9~9~9 27 out of 30. 50 out of 60.

Nice job.

Carrie Ann. no way to fake good dancing, cannot fake it. There was no faking, strong dancing, strong leading.

Len. It is not where you start and you are finishing strong.

Bruno. Started out as goofy outsider, and now a leading man.

9~9~9 27 out of 30 55 out of 60.

That was spectacular! THe dress was great for a change. The right amount of intensity and rejection by Ricki.
"RE: Ricki and Derek"
Posted by Snidget on 11-14-11 at 10:42 PM
Kinda meh for me.

Len. Contrast of movement. Seamless lifts, swept in and out. I don't think you know how good that was.

Bruno, into the underworld of Buenos Aires. Mood spot on.

Carrie Ann, I see the core strength developing. Now you have the pop.

Next week, the free style, only one hour next Monday.

9~10~10

How bad do her vote totals have to be for them to be overscoring her this much.

"RE: Ricki and Derek"
Posted by CTgirl on 11-14-11 at 11:08 PM
How bad do her vote totals have to be for them to be overscoring her this much.

I thought the same thing. Hope deserves to go home this week but they didn't have to make it so obvious. She wasn't as bad as they thought she was and Ricki wasn't as good. It's their last chance to influence the outcome since the scores are usually pretty even for the finale.

"RE: Ricki and Derek"
Posted by qwertypie on 11-15-11 at 02:20 AM
Give me a break! She spent most of the dance posing and that is worth a 29? Sometimes I really hate this show.

Tom wants some general comments.

Len. Whole night like a beautiful meal. Relay Cha Cha Fruity and Tasty.

Len says I don't think my winner will be there winner.

Bruno. They delivered a fantastic show. Everyone did very well. Really have to talk, the margin is so small.

Carrie Ann. Opportunity to see one right after the other, and may not be as expected.

When are the judges going to say something about Derek's showboating? while he leaves Ricki standing just waiting till he finishes showing off?
"RE: Cha Cha Relay"
Posted by Round Robin on 11-15-11 at 02:29 AM
They will never say anything about it to amount to much. Derek is their golden boy, and he's the reason she got overscored so much. He's much more respectful to the judges than Max or Mark, so he gets away with a lot of bull$hit and gets favored a lot. It has nothing to do with Ricki.
