12:52AM EST Nov 13. 2012 – Could it be?? A week yet a new twist? A week where a ballroom dance competitors, oh, we don’t know, usually give us unchanging aged ballroom performances? we roughly don’t know how to act! We missed a opening of a uncover we don’t even care! That’s how happy we am!
Ruh roh! Wait! What’s a … contingent round? Oh, Tom. Oh, Show. OK, so here’s a deal: Each group will dance once with any other (like a normal ballroom dance show), afterwards dance a contingent round. Sigh. What is a contingent round? Well, apparently any group gets to ask one of a no-longer-competing pros for assistance (because that’s who we wish assistance from … a ones who have been kicked off) or someone from a unit (you know, those people whose names we still don’t even know) to assistance emanate a slight featuring a competing team’s strengths … afterwards all 3 of them will dance together.
And, remember … since of a election, we had performances final week yet no elimination. Which means this week? Yep, dual of a remaining 7 couples will dance their final dance. But integrity knows it looks like they’re going to get copiousness of event to wring any final dump out of it tonight.
The thesis for a initial dance is Veterans Day. Then trio. For a consequence of space, I’ve reviewed both dances for any group as we go through. First up:
1. Shawn Derek/Viennese waltz: An positively lovely, musical dance. And … short! Wow, it felt like it was over before it started. Shawn’s dress wasn’t adult to a beautiful standards of her outfits a past dual weeks (it was kind of clunky), yet they danced so beautifully, we don’t care. So … Len unequivocally needs to palliate adult on them this week. Judges: Len wasn’t horrible, Bruno and Carrie Ann gush. My score: 10. Their scores: (Oh, yet first! The camera pans to some flattering hunky-looking soldiers in a audience, all in their dress blues. He-eey!) OK, where were we? Right! Scores: 10, 9.5, 10 = 29.5 (Oh, Len.)
Trio dance: samba w/ Mark: Tribal samba. I’m digging it. Big-time frippery going on, yet it’s a outrageous showpiece. Not nearby adequate samba, I’m thinking, yet memorable, fo sho. Judges: Len comes down a hardest nonetheless on them, yet … no surprise. Bruno loves it, yet also a no-samba slam. Carrie Ann goes for a opening and doesn’t caring about too small samba. So a judges get all genealogical and we FF. Derek owns that they’re dancing for a fans, not a judges and I’m good with that. Scores: 10, 7, 9 = 26 So Len radically competence as good give them zero. No surprise.
2. Apolo Karina/tango: So, they’re sleepy of dancing their butts off and removing 9s. we get that. This week they squeeze a propensity and do this superhero opening, that we know, right away, is going to parasite Len off. I’m not indispensably opposite that, we usually don’t wish to listen to it. we suppose they won’t suffer it either. Frippery and all that. The second thing we notice is that clearly, all a habit dialect is on mangle this week, since what in a name of God is Karina wearing? It’s … good … let’s usually watch a tango, shall we? Because we loves me some tango. And, it was flattering good. we was so dreaming by a terrible sea immature silk and edging vestige dress thing, it was tough to compensate attention. The throng goes insane, and it was unequivocally intense. Judges: Bruno and Carrie Ann are all over it … and presumably high. Len says he’s being finicky, yet by comparison? Yeah, it was like someone shot him with a happy dart. (Although, Len? You can’t be OK with that frippery and impact Derek for a same, esp in a week when everybody was fripping out. Just sayin’.) My score? 9.5. Their scores: 10, 9.5, 10 = 29.5
Trio dance: nonsense with Sasha (from a troupe, since we don’t know who he is, either): Not removing a red unitard on Karina, yet enjoying Apolo and Sasha as greasers. Disjointed opener, yet lots of calm and Apolo unequivocally did keep adult mirrored opposite a pro, so … not bad! Judges: Gushy gushness. Scores: 9.5, 9.5, 10 = 29
3. Kirstie Maks/Viennese waltz: You know, this was one of their prettiest dances. Even a immature uniform costumes worked. Lovely. Judges: Every bit as lovely. Yes, even Len. My score, usually since a problem wasn’t utterly as high: 9. Scores: 9, 9, 9 = 27 Their top of a season, and earned!
Trio dance: paso with Tristan: And we am ALL over this combo. Digging a whole black angel wings costuming, too. Just don’t go drifting Oz gorilla on me! OK, they don’t. Wings go, dance begins. Kirstie’s outfit is a bit too nightgown-y. It was … interesting, yet … not her strongest. Judges: Agree that it was a cold theme, yet that it was kind of sloppy. Scores: 8, 8, 8, = 24 Which is fair. (And Kirstie? Totally schnockered. I’m usually sayin’.)
4. Kelly Val/Viennese waltz: Ditto to a comments for Maks/ Kirstie, yet a problem was aloft in this one. Also? Weird Costume Guy contingency have been dismissed after creation a initial dual outfits since they both demeanour poetic in ideal lemon chiffon. My score: 9.5 (Would have been a 10, yet we know Carrie Ann is drum to daub them for that lift during a end. ) Judges: Len sneers (the dart already wore off), Bruno goes all wink twirler (and I’m withdrawal that one totally alone), Carrie Ann creates adult for Len and apparently she missed a lift. Yay!! Scores: 9.5, 9, 9.5 = 28 Close!
Trio dance: nonsense with Louis: Compelling contingent combo! Louis is a compress guy, yet Kelly is teeny tiny, so his power should mix with Val’s smolder unequivocally well. I’m intrigued! And it’s great! Super complex, unequivocally pushes Kelly to be front and center. She’s got dual half-naked guys angling for her attention. I’m carrying a ideally good time with this. Please don’t finish it on my account! And, in a end? She picks Len! HA! Super cute. Best contingent by distant in terms of opening and absurd levels of content. Total 10 from me. Judges: Super unrestrained gushness. Well earned. Scores: 9.5, 9.5, 9.5 = 28 And no one is even sanctimonious any longer that Val and Kelly aren’t totally a couple, on and off a dance floor.
To find out how it all turns out, if there’s anything else Derek can presumably do to get an even reduce measure from Len, if Val and Kelly usually go forward and get a room, right on a dance floor, and if Gilles will ever get his ideal 30 … check out the blog for a rest of a Dance Dish!!
