Dancing Week 3

So I had to set the DVR and I'm only watching it right now. We went to mom's for dinner, I had to give the kid a bath, put clothes away, change the sheets on our bed... But we're good to go now! And this week the stars had to learn the fox-trot or the samba. So let's begin...

Denise and Maksim - samba - Denise's dress looks like a prom dress. Actually her hair looks a little modern prom-ish too. Not quite loving it. She looks like she still isn't clear on what they're doing. The movements aren't very fluid and it's almost painful to watch them tonight. Bruno nailed it when he called it "flat." Judges' score: 16

Chuck and Julianne - fox-trot - I just have to remind everyone that they are possibly the cutest couple out there. And I'm LOVING Julianne's dress tonight. And WOW Chuck looks excellent! I'm impressed. Judges' score: 23

Holly and Dmitry - samba - Holly looks like Samba Barbie tonight. I'm serious, she looks like she just came out of a box. She looks like she may be improving, but she's still stiff a lot of the time. And you can tell when she's concentrating/anticipating the next move too much. She just doesn't look coordinated enough. Judges' score: 17

Steve-O and Lacey - fox-trot - Thank God he's back! And I totally spotted Pontius in the audience! hee hee... He actually looks pretty good considering he's probably still in pain. And he totally had a mess up. But he still tried and looked pretty good. Judges' score: 15

Lawrence and Edyta - samba - This may just be his best dance so far. He's shimmying and totally having fun doing it. He also looks super comfortable, which goes a long way in scoring. Judges' scores: 20

Shawn and Mark - fox-trot - Shawn was struggling in practice with making her movements fluid instead of the sharp movements of gymnastics. And she totally pulled it off in the dance. Mostly. She did have a couple little movements that looked sharp. But she also looked SUPER GOOD! Judges' score: 27

Gilles and Cheryl - samba - Okay, he can seriously shake his butt. They look really good. I can see them getting the top score tonight. And Cheryl may just have a shot at winning another season... Judges' score: 27 (so they're tied with Shawn and Mark)

David and Kym - fox-trot - DAG looks pretty good in the beginning. He's extending his arms well, throwing in some nice kicks, I'm pretty impressed. He didn't look uncomfortable or lost or anything. He looked really good! Judges' score: 24 (wow!)

Woz and Karina - samba - So now Woz pulled his hamstring. Will the curse of this show never end? He looks like he's being a little careful, which is understandable. But he doesn't look as confident as he has the last two weeks and the injury definitely shows in his performance. Judges' score: 10

Melissa and Tony - fox-trot - Of course they look good. Is there anything else you expected me to say? I heart Tony. And Melissa has been good from the start. She even projects well with her expressions. Judges' score: 27 (a third couple tied for first)

Lil Kim and Derek - samba - Her little squeals and screams are grating on my nerves. She makes a lot of faces when she dances, a couple of them are distracting. Her feet and everything look like they should though. I just have an issue with ABC putting an ex-con who flashes her girly bits and sings some naaasty songs. Judges' score: 25

Ty and Chelsie - fox-trot - Ty looks so cute in his little top hat. Chelsie totally slipped though. But Ty didn't flinch. I can see him doing well with the ballroom dances, possibly not as good with the Latin. But he looked good tonight. Carrie Ann totally said it when she told him how impressed she was with how he handled Chelsie's slip. Judges' score: 23

I think the bottom will be Woz and Denise this week. Just a thought, I have no idea really.
