Full 2 hours....Oops!


Guess I was wrong in my last post, it was a full two hour show...both men and women. Wow, what a show it was!


I was of course most impressed with Helio and Julianne....Helio is not only the "King of Speed", he is the King of Charm...their performance was awesome, right on beat..never lost a step. The coreography of their dance was difficult, He aced it...he was definitely in overdrive compared to last week. The chemistry between the two of them is electrifying, it actually gave me goosebumps! They finished the night in the lead...with 27 points.


Next, coming in second for the night, we have Sabrina(Cheetah Girls) and Mark...last week, they ended the night with the highest first time score ever (27)...this week, they performed the Quick-Step, giving us a "Blistering" performance. They were very vibrant....never missed a beat, ending the night with a score of 26....Awesome job.

In third place, with 24 points, we have Marie Osmond and Johnathon Roberts....they performed the Mambo...acutually gave us a great performance, pulling off the "Death Drop", which for a woman with little dance experience was a feat in and of itself. Marie was referred to as "One hot Cougar"...they are definitely contenders to reckon with in this show



Fourth Place, with (23) points....came from Mel B (Spice Girls) and her partner Maksim...



I felt like they did an ok job....it seemed to me she was kind of stiff. She was referred to as a mix between Lena Horne and Ginger Rogers....????? Did not really see the similarities myself...don't expect to see them stay to the end though.





There were five couples that tied for fifth with (21) points....Albert Reed (male model) and his partner Anna...kind of sweet that he dedicated his QuickStep performance to his Grandpa...who was a ball room dancer. His performance was very exhuberant/joyful personality. Just call him "Skippy", he kind of skips when he dances. Referred to as the "Dark Horse" of the season.

Then, we had Jenny Garth (90210 fame) and her partner Derek...they ended their Quick-step performance with (21) points as well. The Dance definitely suited her, moved well, I felt her posture was a little stiff, then oh, My God...they fell at the end. Derek tried to say he tripped over the dress she had on, but even still, they both gave 100%! Another 21 point score came from Cameron (soap star) and his partner Edyta...they performed a very sexy version of the Mambo...Cameron was a little off-beat with the music, somewhat wooden at first, needs to relax more..He "looks like Superman, dances like Clark Kent"..overall, I felt they were better than last week.
Boxer Floyd MayWeather and his partner ended the night with (21) points as well, performing the Quick-Step, which with his profession, really worked for him. His footwork was good, didn't miss a step. Big Improvement over last week!



The last couple, with (21) point score was our favorite Dr. Quinn...Jane Seymour, with her partner Tony....they performed the Mambo...which I felt was rather boring. I did not feel she was very confident with herself...she was referred to as a "Boring English Rose"...for the mambo, it was not sexy or sassy enough.



Sixth place was held by Mark Cuban (billionaire) and his partner Kim...they performed the Mambo. They were very exhuberant, you can tell Mark his very dedicated and determined to win. Although one of the judges referred to him as a "Bulldog-Chasing a squirrel"..overall, I thought they did ok, just not one of my favorites. His facial expressions kill me. Last place couple, Wayne Newton and his partner Cheryl Burke...wow, I am at a loss for words. He needs to stick to stage performances in Vegas. Their Dance, the Quick-Step, was very red carpet, his technique still needs a lot and I mean a lot of work. They were not any better than last week, ending the night with (15) points. Don't get me wrong, Wayne is an icon, but I think he is a little out of his element here, I foresee him going home tonight.
Well, peeps...that is all I have for now...tune in tonight to see who gets voted off. As I stated, I truly believe Wayne is going home. 9 P.M...CBS. Be watching...we will discuss tomorrow.


DixieChick...out!

I agree with you Dixie. Wayne has got to go! What kind of work has he been doing on his face??? I think he's kind of creepy looking. Yes Jane S. had a boring Mambo, but she has a rockin' bod! She's I think 56!!! I wish my bod looked that good now! I also didn't think Marie O. was as good as she got credit for being. I am sticking with Helio to win, he is just infectious!!!

Cynthia said...

Nice recap BTW!

DIXIECHICK said...

Helio makes me drool.....MMMmmmmMMMMmmmm....Wayne looks like a serious case of plastic surgery gone bad..he kind of creeps me out too..I truly think Helio and Julianne are going to win. Has far as Jane goes...if only I could look that good at 37...she does have an amazing bod, for sure!

DIXIECHICK said...

JEWELS..TRUST ME...WATCH TONIGHT IF YOU CAN. MY POST FROM TODAY SHOULD HAVE YOU UPDATED WELL ENOUGH, THAT YOU CAN PICK UP FROM THIS POINT, NOT BE LOST. I LOVE TO DANCE, WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO PUT ON SOME HEELS AND A SEXY FEATHERED NUMBER MYSELF....BUT I WOULD PROBABLY SCARE THE HUSBAND AND CHILDREN, DO I WILL "SECRETLY" KEEP THAT TO MYSELF..HEE HEE...TONIGHT IS THE RESULTS SHOW...VIVA LAS VEGAS, WAYNE NEWTON HIMSELF WILL BE CHECKING OUT...OF THIS I AM SURE.

OH. I watched last night for the first time this season and it was OK. I am addicted to Heroes, Lost and Survivor too. The only one I don't dig is Grey's Anatomy and it is just because I have never sat and watched it. SO many of my friends love it. I'm sure it will be one of those shows that 5 years from now everyone will be over and I will be watching it on DVD SO excited about every episode. LOL!!
BTW-Thanks for dropping by my blog!!

Nicole..I find your blog fun to read, I will continue to read you daily. You really should check out Grey's Anatomy...it will reel you right in...you will be hooked.

Hi Dixie:

WOW!! Your synopsis is fabulous! You did a VERY thorough job!!! I enjoyed reading it so much!

I still think Helio and Julianne are the best, and probably will go all the way to the championship.

I also agree that Wayne Newton should go tonight, but since half the determination comes from the fans, and he has a HUGE fan base, it could be a surprise. You just never know.

If he isn't the one to go, I think it will be either Jenny Garth, or Albert.

We'll soon find out!!

Take care!
Linda

Linda...
you were so on it. Albert was the one to go. I know Wayne has a huge fan base, I do believe that is what kept him in the competition. If it was left up to the dancing part alone, then he would have left last night, because I felt Albert was much better in that categorie.
Thanks for reading!
