Dancing With the Stars: Week 2


It's week 2. Dim the lights, let’s go! Wait... That's American Idol.

Live its Dancing with the Stars Recap!
  • Sugar Ray and Anna- Was the black and white at the very beginning of their dance really necessary? NO NO NO! It's pointless and stupid. He should have done a lot better this week. He should make it to next week, no doubt in my mind. Very glad that Anna has no problem saying something to the judges. Len obviously forgot to eat before the show which explains his bad mood. I mean how did it lack dance quality? He tried. Give him a break!
  • Kendra and Louis- That music was downright awful for this dance. I understand that they are trying to bring in younger music to bring in a younger audience. But if that is the case bring in new singers! The one's they have now aren't helping! Now, Louis normally does beyond amazing choreography but this was not his best and I have a feeling he will be holding back with Kendra. Don't ask me why but I just have that feeling. Weird, I know. Everything the judges said about her dancing is true and needs a lot more work.
  • Chelsea and Mark- OUCH! That's all I can say. Mark can say all he wants about it being a real jive but I feel otherwise. The makeup on Mark was downright distracting! Combine that with his over the top facial expressions and I can barely look at him. Now the choreography was definitely out there but not in a good way. I totally get how last season he was really not able to be as creative given his dance partner. But this was more of a freestyle than it was a Jive. Their feet and hands bothered me. She is too good of a dancer and too pretty to be really doing something like this. On the bright side... I liked the stage setup and music for once minus their costumes. Shocker!
  • Chris and Cheryl- They were actually good! They looked good together and he was charming. Never in a million years would you think I was talking about a wrestler but I am. Cheryl knows what she is doing! Plus you really can't go wrong with their song either.
  • Petra and Dmitry- At first thought I thought she did OK, like last week. But I watched again and she did better than OK. She deserved a 7 in there somewhere. Now I have no idea how she will do with where the votes are concerned but I guess we will have to see.
  • Kirstie and Maks- "Winning" I have never really honestly been a HUGE Maks fan mostly due to his cockiness but they did right when they paired them together. I love the way the act and how suddenly he is not that obnoxious this season. They are fun to watch and that not so planned kiss at the end was priceless. She did lose her steps and slow down as the dance went on but she did her best, had fun and tried! How do you like that George Lopez? Come on! How absurd was that comment he made?!?! I know that people are moving on but I still don't understand how he can say that when he is not the one dancing. His comments about her dancing last week were HORRIBLE.
  • Mike and Lacey- Way better than last week that is for sure. Not going to lie, I think he will be the first to go. I really don't know who is really is and he is not that good. Who is with me?
  • Romeo and Chelsie- First off, who else wants to go and buy her costume from this week. So cute! I don't know if he is the one to watch but I will agree that he did a great job. He has potential to go far especially with the girl votes. But can we talk about the cheesy tacky attempt at prom decorations on a TV show? I am so over the producers putting in the horrible decorations for almost every dance.
  • Wendy and Tony- What a horrible match up? I am sorry but they are not a good pair at all. Remember when Nicey was on? They had her with Louis and they matched really well together he was able to bring out her personality in almost all the dances and they did really well. Tony has yet to do that and I honestly feel like that is why she hasn't done well. They needed to put her with Louis and Kendra with someone else. Both Kendra and Wendy really don't have chemistry with their partners'. Just Sayin'.
  • Ralph and Karina- Sorry Judges but you are wrong! Ralph had the Best Jive of the Night. He did the Jive like it is suppose to be. You need to get your eyes checked.
  • Hines and Kym- Is it too much to ask to just rub his head for good luck? It was a great dance and managed to be light on the dance floor. Another football player to keep your eyes on. Darn it!

Cranky "fuddy-duddy" Len gave pretty much all the couples lower scores than they deserved except for Romeo. I don't know what his problem was last night but he needs to figure it out soon or it will be a LONG season.

I guess we will see who goes home tonight. My money is still on Mike and Lacey. Who do you think will go home tonight?
