So it's the semi finals and up first are Brandy & Maks. But before the dancing they had a cute moment of togetherness after Maks's blow up in last weeks judging. He obviously felt bad about the whole thing and worried that his tiff with carrie Ann would hurt Brandy's chances in the competition. But Brandy assured him she would have done the same thing for him.
So their first dance was the Paso and I thought it was pretty good. Her footwork was good, her arm movements were precise, her facial expressions were fierce. I enjoyed her solo and am pretty impressed with her progress since the beginning of all this.. It wasn't ten material in my opinion but it was really great. Len overall great dancing. Bruno said Brandy needed anger management and definitely released all the aggression, but might have lost a little of the finesse. thought her character was wonderful and her upper body looked glamorous, great job over all.
Scores from Carrie Ann, Len & Bruno are: 9-9-9

Jennifer & Derek went next with a Cha Cha Cha that rocked the house. She started out shaking her naughty bits on Lens head, then proceeded to wow us in this crazy frilly white feathery body suit. The choreography was of course amazing, since Derek is a genius. Her footwork was awesome. All three judges loved it and all three judges gave them tens! Deservedly so.

Bristol & Marc are dancing next and I'm still wondering who's voting for this girl. Thy've got another Paso Doble and it's definitely not as good as Brandy's but it's not bad. She got more intensity than usual but it's still not the tight routine I'd expect in the semi-finals. However, I thought she looked hot in her black leather big hair. Good for her coming out like that! Carrie Ann said she was so happy to see her come out & nail it. Len said Bristol the pistol has fired a few blanks throughout the season but came out with both guns blazing tonight! Bruno said the little lamb is turning into a tigress and admired her beautiful flamenco lines.

Last up in the first round was Kyle and Lacey with a Samba. I thought it was Kyle's best dance since the beginning when he impressed us with what seemed like a bit of a fluke for a bit as the competition progressed. But tonight was great fun to watch and they should get a ten or two at least! Len pronounced Kyle's bum bionic tonight! Bruno said he was a bouncing bundle of fun & Carrie Ann said she's never seen so much pelvic action ever!

On with the second round and it's back to Brandy & Maks. Their Argentine Tango blew me away. Her lines were amazing & beautiful and if she doesn't get at least one 10, I'll be surprised. Len loved that she created great atmosphere - outward expression of her inner emotion. Bruno loved the emotional depth, full extension of her body, and called her stunning. Carrie Ann said it was a beautiful & powerful dance.

I have to say I'm not a Brooke Burk fan. I miss Samantha. Don't get me wrong, she looks H. O. T. in those evening gowns. But she can't interview contestants in the celebraquarium to save her damn life! "Three 9's - how does that make you feel?" ... "26 out of 20 - how do you feel about that?" ... "A perfect 30! How are you feeling right now?" Ugh! Get a new schtick Brooke. Pulease! I think the producers need to bring in a new co-host - put the hot dresses on some other smokin' hot chick and see if she can do any better. I'm over this one.
Done ranting! Next up were Jenifer & Derek with their Waltz. She just makes it look so easy! Every step is effortless and graceful and beautiful. I love it. Bruno said it was a gem of a waltz, full of style & elegant detail. He said it was stunning & she is a great dancer. Carrie Ann said she thinks the body never lies & through dance we can see a persons soul - and she thought this simple waltz was one of the most beautiful things she's seen in her life. Len said sometimes a whisper speaks louder than a shout & this poignant delicate waltz was fabulous.

Bristol & Mark had a Waltz in the second round and I was very impressed. Carrie Ann said she felt like there were moments when Bristol drifted out of her character & connection, sort of disconnected. Len disagreed and said it was quite beautiful. Bruno said it was haunting, there were beautiful lines and then he mentioned the journey she's been on and how happy he is to see her here.

As hard as I've been on Bristol, I think they should have had at least one 10. And honestly I think Carrie Ann can be kind of unusually hard on the female competitors sometimes.
So last was Kyle & Lacey with an Argentine Tango. I thought it was great but I liked their Samba better. His steps were clean & his character was fierce. I have no criticisms, I just thought the other dance was fun & spicy: this one, not so much. Len said he's never seen so much attack & enthusiasm. Bruno said whatever happens, Kyle is Season 11 Mr Charisma! Carrie Ann said he reminds her of Emmit Smith - how he came out of nowhere at the end and killed it in every routine.

I enjoyed all the dances tonight but I think Bristol should go home tomorrow night. The finals should be a competition between Kyle, Brandy & Jennifer.
Here's the leaderboard:
Jennifer & Derek: 60
Kyle & Lacey: 58
Brandy & Maks: 57
Bristol & Marc: 53
