Now that we're half way through the season the judges have pre-recorded some commentary with clips for each of the remaining contestants. Some praise as well as constructive criticism. And this week is TV Theme week! First impressions: Tony's bare chest - yum yum! Kyles afro, um... Rick Fox can arrest me ANY time! Florence Henderson, what. the... lady lumberjack? And is Jennifer Grey dressed up as June Cleaver?
Brandy & Maks were up first and based on their pre-recorded packet, they seem to be getting along a little better this week. They did The Quickstep to the theme song from Friends and it was a really cute routine with a few playful elements, like you might see on the show. Her footwork was great, the characters were fun... I loved it and will probably call in a vote for Brandy. Len was very impressed with the energy & sassy fun. Bruno thought they finally found the right combination and Carrie Anne said she felt their relationship is improving and bringing them to a whole new level. Everyone was pleased.
Scores from Carrie Anne, Len & Bruno are: 9-9-9

Florence & Corky were up next with The Tango to the theme song from The Brady Bunch. I'm wondering if this was a bad idea just for the possibility of too much focus on the Brady aspect, or if it will be to their advantage that The Brady Bunch plays on the hearts of so many of us. Anyway, her steps & footwork looked good but her head seemed to be more shaken around than it needed to be. Bruno said he didn't like the sudden switch from good tango characters into "rag-doll mode". Carrie Anne liked it and called her a "sexy senior". Bruno wished to be a sexy senior and Flo hopped up and kissed him! He said parts were excellent, parts were frantic, she needed a bit of calmness, but possibly her best dance yet.
Scores from Carrie Anne, Len & Bruno are: 7-7-7

Next, Kurt & Anna danced The Quickstep to the theme from Bewitched - they had little nose-twitches and musical tinkles in the dance that made Kurt "better" or more cooperative. It was a cute routine and he looked pretty great except for a bit of slouching still showing in his posture. Carrie anne said she thought she saw the spirit of gene Kelley enter his body, he made it look so easy! Len said after last week the only way to go was up and up he went! Bruno announced the magic is back & being bewitched was working for him. Both Len & Bruno mentioned his posture but everyone loved it.
Scores from Carrie Anne, Len & Bruno are: 8-8-8

Audrina & Tony are dancing The Rumba to the theme song from The Hills with absolutely no intensity. She's beautiful, graceful, accurate... and boring. Bruno thought she had lovely feet & legs and nice hip action. He thought she needs to open up a bit ut overall a good dance. Bruno thinks she's improved technically but he wants more passion! "Don't be plastic, be fantastic! Because you can." Carrie Anne mentioned to many technical details she admired but felt from the waist up she was dead. And she suspects there was a lift.

Kyle & Lacey were next with a Foxtrot set to the theme song from Charlie's Angels and can I just say I love Lacey's rump in those bell bottoms, and look at those abs... Oh! Anyway, uh, nice dancing Kyle, or something. Bruno wasn't pleased - he thought it was fun but no Foxtrot. Carrie Anne disagreed wholeheartedly - she loved it! Bruno said it started bad and gradually got worse and worse.

Rick & Cheryl came to the floor next with The Rumba to the theme song from Hillstreet Blues - that was my dads favorite show when I was a kid and I was always in bed by then but I knew the tune. I loved it and thought Rick was great. Carrie Anne loved it. Len didn't get the romance. Bruno said he went from Megatron to Mega-smooth.

Bristol & Mark did a Jive to the theme song from The Monkeys. Right now they're in a couple of full body gorilla suits so I'm not sure how that's going to work. She lost several steps while she was still in the monkey suit, she was out of sync with Mark on several occasions and you could see him trying to pep-talk her mid-dance. Not great in my opinion. Len liked the monkey suits & thought it was a high degree of performance. Bruno liked the suits but felt the technique fell to the side. Carrie Anne felt she saw a great transformation in Bristol but still pointed out that she forgot a lot of the steps.
Scores from Carrie Anne, Len & Bruno are: 6-6-6

Jennifer & Derek were dancing the Foxtrot to the theme song from Married With Children and it was beautiful. Beautiful lines, perfect symmetry... Bruno thought it was pristine & elegant. Carrie Anne said it was good but not nearly Jennifer's best and a bit out of sync. Bruno thought the dance was lovely but a bit too theatrical. I guess they didn't like it as much as I did.
Scores from Carrie Anne, Len & Bruno are: 8-8-9
