Nancy Kerrigan was first. She and Artem did the cha cha. It was okay. Artem got tied up in his microphone. Oh, that blond is Julianne Hough. Why didn’t y’all tell me that last week? The judges just ADORE Nancy so even though she was off step from nearly beginning to end, the all give her sevens. For a total of 28
Erika Jayne Wow I can’t believe she is going second they usually save the housewives till the end for ratings. She and Gleb are doing the foxtrot. He’s dress like a copy and she’s in a black sparkly gown carrying a billyclub as they are introduced. Tom makes some comment about Erika “starting on her road down all the village people.” WTF? Erika says she is standing firm in bring who she is to her dancing. She is not going to back down and bring an apologetic version of herself to the show. That’s just not going to happen. In her publicity interviews she said she felt her dance was sexy, not raunchy and that some people hold women to a higher standard.
This week’s prop is Erika’s Maserati! She starts in the driver seat and she is being pulled over by Gleb. So over the top. So Erika Jayne. She’s dancing to Niykee Heaton’s Bad Intentions. It’s definitely a bad girl’s song and her moves may be even sexier than last week. Les is probably having a coronary. At one point she rips open Gleb’s shirt. The crowd loved every minute of it. Let’s see what the idiot judges have to say.
Julianne said that she locked eyes with Erika for a moment and that made her feel powerful. She loved it. Bruno said it was sexy. He loved it. He even praised her technique and her lines and her balance. Carrie Ann agreed about the balance, something they both picked on last time. She also mentions her beautiful lines and says she is beautiful to watch. Len says it was a Beverly Hills foxtrot. It was full of glitz, glamour and style. He like Gleb’s choreography. Len was getting ready to say something stupid and starts off saying, “The dance is romantic” and the the sirens accidentally start to go off again. Perfect. I wonder if one of the glam boys did that. Len finishes with , “I think you went a little bit past romantic, but I liked it.” I think that Erika’s demeanor at the judges table is one of nerves. She was only slightly more animated this time even with really great feedback. Erika tells the interviewer of the season that she felt the dance went smoothly and she got her point across. When asked what her point was she claimed it was you have to get out of the ticket. But we all know what her real point was. They give Gleb a pink sequined onsie because he and his wife announced this week that they are pregnant! They are having a girl. She got straight 7s. I was hoping for one 8. Total Score 28
Charo and Keo were great. They did the Paso doble. Charo is bat shit crazy. She continues to make fun of Bruno’s accent. Score: 25 Julianne actually gave her a seven. Really Julianne?
Nick Viall and Peta did the foxtrot. Vanessa was at rehearsals and the seemed like they might kinda like each other. Nick did as well as could be expected. He got panned. Especially by Len. The choreography was over Nick’s head. After the very harsh judging both female judges gave him a 7? What the fuck? Len gave him a 5 and Bruno gave him a 6. Total Score 25.
Time for the ringer, Heather and her partner, Max. Max was injured in rehearsal. I just this week recognized her face from Glee. Max could not dance tonight! So she has a fill in partner. They are doing the Jive! Len tore into her for doing a hip hop routine. She does that as Beyonce’s backup dancer. She did do hip hop with two female dancers midway through instead of dancing the whole thing with the guy dancer. The female judges loved it. Everyone gives her an 8 except for Len who gives her a six. Total score: 30 Way to get me excited she was going to get a low score. Max says that he is going to fly out tomorrow to get whatever needs doing done. Sounds like a calf muscle? It’s uncertain when or if he will be dancing again.
Bonner and Charla are going to do the Viennese Waltz and I am going to give the TV my full attention. They danced to Jennifer Nettles version of Unlove You. It was good. Our hot cowboy is quite bowlegged. And the waltz isn’t really his thing but the female judges will probably give him 10s. The women in the audience are going wild. Bruno cautions him to “not go woody.” He so loves to pretend like he doesn’t know what he is saying. Len is grouchy tonight. The women give him an 8, Len says 6, Bruno split the difference at 7. Total Score 29 I think that is a bit inflated if we are talking about the Waltz.
Simone and Simone is having a problem being sexy. It’s a new concept for her. They are doing the cha cha. She comes out in gold lamé at the beginning all by herself and all that is missing is the pole. She even did the splits. I’m just saying. Len better say something about this. Bruno said she burned it up. Julianne said it wasn’t too sexy. Len said he enjoyed it very much. She gets three 7s and one 8 from Bruno. WTF? She was out of sync the whole dance? Total score: 28
Chis Kattan (SNL) and Witney are doing a jazz routine. He better be thankful for Mr. T because he will be on the bottom tonight. Chris lets us know that the reason he was so stiff is because he broke his neck 14 years ago. He’s had four surgeries since. He has a LOT of pins in his back. It’s obvious he can’t stand up straight. Whitney cries when she hears his old story. It is pretty sad. They did great. It was intentionally amusing. Last week he got three 4s and a five. This week he should do much better. This week the girls gave him sixes and the guys fave him 5s. Score 22 Witney talks to him like he’s mentally challenged. I kinda want to punch her in the throat.
Normani and Val really are flying back and forth to Asia for her concerts. It’s totally insane. So was their dance. By FAR the best dance of the night. She’s the frontrunner by far at this point. She could totally get a 10. I’m down with Normani now. They are flying out to China after the show. Her schedule is simply insane. They got the highest score of the night with straight 8s for a Total Score of 32. I feel like they were robbed. Seriously. the girls gave Bonner 8s. Come on.
Rashad and Emma. Last week this was the best dance of the night. This week they have the Viennese Waltz. Emma tells him to pull for a past loss for this dance and he talks about a broken engagement two and a half years ago. When the dance starts, he does a voice over, ” It’s no secret. It’s you I crave. Don’t make me suffer.” Is he talking to the ex? Last week he got three 8s and a 7. I liked him better last week. He’s sexy but there is something about him, maybe it’s the big booty that makes him kind of clunky with certain moves. This week he got straight 8s. Total score: 32. Tied with Normani. WHICH IS JUST WRONG.
Time for Mr T’s last dance. He was very disappointed in his scores from last week. He’s doing the pasa doble to Eye of the Tiger. The dance in a boxing ring. Mr T takes this very seriously. It was a cute routine and he did much better than last week. It is sadly his time to go I think. He got two 6s and two 5s. Score of 22.
David and Lindsey are dancing to Bust a Move by Young MC. I think it’s the cha cha. I’m not sure about his moves but this guy is certainly not lacking in confidence. I missed his dance last week. Let’s get to scoring. I feel like they need to move this along. There are only like three minutes left. Carrie Ann didn’t like it. Len said his footwork was bad. Len says he rounded second base. Julianne loved it. Three sevens and a 6 from Len. Total 27.
The bottom two were Chris and Charo. Mr T was safe! Heck I don’t want either of these to go home. Dammit. Chris is going home. So sad.
This show has never seen ANYTHING like Miss Erika Jayne before!! She gives me life ???????? Even if she doesn’t end up with that mirror ball trophy at the end, I am so exited for the exposure her career is receiving.
Speaking of her career she is the headline performer at the GLAAD Media awards after party Saturday night. That’s a nice gig to get!
I hadn’t heard that TT, WOW, what a great gig to get! She will be amazing. And well deserved in my opinion. She was performing & supporting the LGBT ?️? community before it was cool. I’m just super excited to see her on main stream media/shows to broaden her audience. I think everyone needs a little Erika J in their lives!
She SLAYED me when she said to Glen ‘I don’t need you to like me, just make me look good’ !! EPIC !!
Did you see that Kristi Yamauchi tweeted to Nancy Carrigan; Can’t wait to see you grace that ballroom floor, break a leg.” Mmm mmm mm, that’s good shade…
Not shade, they are good friends and Kristi Yamaguchi is the more accomplished skater by miles. It is possible for two women support each other and have a sense of humor.
When I watch Nancy Kerrigan, I’m reminded of Kate Gosslin. She’s just like a grumpy old woman. I loved watching Erika Gerardi but thought the whole cop dance was kind of odd considering her son is a cop. I thought Normani was fantastic. She was so much fun to watch. I also loved the baseball player. His dance was so much fun and I didn’t want it to end. I don’t understand the good score Mr T got. They said he really stepped it up this week but how can they say that when his feet didn’t move? Also, wth is wrong with Charo? I’m sorry but that’s just disturbing to watch. It’s not funny, it’s not cute and it’s certainly not entertaining. I was also disappointed in Chris Kattans reaction to being voted off. This proved that he used his condition for a pity score and thought he was entitled to it. I thought he was a sore loser.
Norman is awesome ?
I was so hoping Charo would go home. I could not stand her screaming and grabbing the mic repeatedly. They finally had to boot her out of there by reminding her that others still had to dance. And LEN gave her an EIGHT! How ridiculous is that? Normani is amazing. I like looking at Rashad. Good show. Oh, and I wish Erika would/could smile more often. She looks so “contained” and like she’s not having fun at all.
I loved Erika and thought she should have been scored higher .. again. Charo looks great for her age, as my husband would say, she just needs to down shift. I fast forward through most of the show and just watch the dancing. The judges are usually too goofy for me to waste my time listening to them.
I loved Erika’s dance last night and believe she should have received at least one 8 if not more. Normani should have received 10s! I like Simone but can’t believe Len didn’t blast her over her splits and other “sexy” moves that he labeled raunchy just a week ago when Erika was the one doing the split. I love the sexy cowboy Bonner but he needs to loosen up more. I think the Bachelor, Nick, may be around for a few more weeks and that’s it because the competition is just too good that even being from a high rated show won’t take him to the end.
Charo is cute dancing but annoying post performance. It’s not cute anymore.
I realized I can’t watch. Wendy Williams has given too much behind the scenes info, all I would pay attention to is finding flaws in everything. I just know too much. Lol, go figure.
For the love of God, give Charo a Xanax. She is just embarrassing. Erika probably needs to smile more and seem less aloof. I realize that’s not her stage persona but I think it would help her go further in the competition. However if the show is as rigged as Wendy Williams says, it may not matter.
Wendy Williams could not hack it and bailed as soon as possible. She CLAIMED sh was praying to go home every night. Then she started her “it’s rigged” campaign. Basically at the time Wendy was on she didn’t really to understand how reality TV works. Yes, the confessionals are scripted. They try to tell them to say they are feeling a certain way. Yes, production knows who is leaving before the live show and generally the pros find out and tell their partners.Wendy treated Tony HORRIBLY. She walked off the stage when she was voted off and refused to dance the final dance with him after elimination. Instead she walked off stage and began glad handing the audience. Some of the audience began chanting support for Tony who was left there to stand on the stage alone as the music played. When Tony was paired with Kim Z when she had a stroke. Wendy went on the show and said Kim was faking. When Tony was paired with Nene she said they would try to make Nene seem like an angry black woman. I mean, that shoe can fit Wendy as well as Nene at times. So can the dress they both wore.
Other disgruntled people like Hope Solo, who is … in my opinion not credible… said the show was rigged to keep the most dramatic people there. She was paired with Max and the rumor was they were going home so she upped her dramatics game. Ryan Locte was also a sore loser who claimed the game was rigged. Did he really think people were going to vote for him? He was booed off the stage his first night.
It is a reality show. They casts villians. They cast big personalities and yes they cast people to lose. Like Mr. T and Charo and Chris. This allows the to other dancers to settle in and get used to the rigorous schedule.
Is it obvious that there are clear frontrunners, clear dancers that will leave very early and a middle of the pack full of surprises, like the football players this year. There is no clear winner. The votes are probably counted. It is not clear how much the votes count exactly. But it’s a reality show. It’s not technically considered a game show so they are free to manipulate the packages, the scores and whatever they like. But in the end, the last 3-4 dancers are always the best ones. And a decent winner is crowned/
Glad you cleared that up. That explains a lot indeed.
The only star with iconic dance moves? Baby, don’t hurt me no more. I have an uncontrollable Pavlovian response. Maybe we’ll remember who gets the mirror ball but we’ll never forget the Roxy. Gotta stop doing that in public.
I don’t watch RHBH so I’m not familiar with Erika. Just from what I’ve seen on DWTS I get her over the top rich girl personality. She did a pretty good job last night but comments like just make me look good sound snarky and may not sit well with a lot of the die hard fans who vote. They love the pro’s from the show and that won’t help her in getting votes from non house wives fans. Unfortunately good dancers get voted off every year over people’s popularity so just saying she might want to at least keep her attitude in check. I’m sure it was a joke but for people that don’t know her it might come off as rude.
The top pro, and partner to Heather the ringer Max has to have surgery to fix his injury. He’s out for weeks and probably the season.
That sucks. Wonder how they’ll handle it.
