Dancing with the Pros

The dancing is so much more than what you would think it could be. I honestly have been blown away every single week by a different couple. Last week, Derek and Shawn! Don't get me started on that brilliance. BEST DANCE I have ever seen. 

Week 4 and they try to throw in a little twist of picking dances for each other. Interesting twist but not enough of my twist to ruffle my feathers. Apparently it was enough to make many of the pros nervous. 

This season is honestly the season of the pros. The talent from the celebrities (minus Pain in my butt) is so good that they have to pull out as many tricks as they can think of to make them stand out to get the votes. 

  • Kirstie and Maks 8-Cute but nothing to make me whip out my cell phone to vote. I miss Maks in the leggings wig combo.
  • Bristol and Mark 7- Honest...They did...nope can't say it. Marks facial expressions made me want to be sick. How can they be better dancers than Kirstie and Maks? I don't get it. I know what DWTS is doing and it makes me sick. GO HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE
  • Sabrina and Louis 9- The girl has moves. That outfit and hair was a disaster but she can dance. I love her and am still holding a grudge about what happened her first season. She can't go home yet... she just can't.
  • Emmitt and Cheryl 7.5- I understand how Cheryl may not have been able to really choreograph this dance considering she has never done it before. But did she really need 4 people to help her? NO. They said you could bring in an expert, not experts. Was the fog necessary? I couldn't see anything over that fog machine set on high. How could any of the judges honestly see their footwork with that thing stinking up the place. I love you Emmitt. I always will but not this week.
  • Gilles and Peta 10- You can come and Bollywood for me anytime. Jai Ho! 
  • Melissa and Tony 8.5- I love them. I don't care what you say, they make me happy. Last week she was fantastic. This week was good but considering I have just seen a jive from her 2 weeks ago, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. 
  • Shawn and Derek 10- Derek Hough deserves an Emmy for choreography after this season....too good for words. They should have been paired together in Season 8. 
  • Apollo and Karina 8- Hip Hop. I thought they would have a better time with this considering his first freestyle. But the cards just were not in their corner. Mic pack fell, and they had a hard time with one lift. Karina is such a pro. She took all the responsibility for their mishap unlike someone (cough cough Mark. "We are not the only one to break hold"). 
  • Kelly and Val 8.5- I was very surprised by this dance. I wasn't sure what to expect from her because we first watched her dance Season 1 but she is great. I loved the dance. Loved the song (minus the singers). Loved the chemistry. Quote me on this that they will be a couple by the end of their season. 
Paula Abdul was a fabulous guest judge. I missed her on the judging panel surprisingly. She was whitty and very honest in her comments. Loved having her on. I would be all for adding her on permanently. There I said it! 

VOTE VOTE VOTE. Another champ could go home because you are too lazy to leave Facebook. Well dear, you don't have that excuse anymore. You can vote through Facebook. SO DO IT...NOW!!
