First of all they started off Vegas night with an all cast dance. Four Vegas girls started out in bed and woke up and ran on stage to Erika who danced with them. But WTF was going on with her hair? Did her headdress break? Did someone snatch her wig? I barely recognized her but she danced well.
Nick Viall
Nick is distressed because he is not doing well and he is really trying. I’d feel bad for him, but it’s Nick.He did the Tango to Poker Face. I thought he was much improved! The judges agree. The was a lot of audience support. The girls gave him 7s the guys gave him 6s. He was disappointed in the score of 26.
Mr.T
Mr T is taking this very seriously. Somehow he was not even in the bottom last week. Wow, that was a decent effort. She gave him an easy routine and he did better with the Foxtrot. He got straight sixes which makes Nick’s sixes hurt even more. He did well though. Score 24.
Bonner the CILF
He did the Charleston, and it was way too slow. He might have peaked with his first performance. The judges agree. Bonner took the feedback pretty hard. It was rather rough. Bonner says the amount of difficulty sort of shocked him. It’s hard work. The judges gave him straight sixes. Score 24.
Heather
Is doing the tango to Britney Spears. Max is giving notes and correcting the substitute dancer over Skype. We’re going to have to Nancy Kerrigan this one for Erika to get past her. She was great. Max is there and standing and walking. He says he is ready to come back. How is that possible? Perhaps one more week off for him? Carrie Ann gave them a 9 the rest gave 8s. Score 33.
Charo
Charo danced to Chapel of Love in a blue wedding dress. It was very basic choreography.No coochie coochie. She got straight 6s. Score 24.
Simone
Simone danced the quickstep to Viva Las Vegas. She had no idea do Elvis was. She did well. It was her best dance so far. Carrie Ann is taking off for the lift. Score 32.
Nancy
Nancy danced the samba to Shake Your Bon Bon. Someone mentioned last week that she reminds them of Kate Gosselin. Now I can’t unsee that. There is nothing wrong with her dancing exactly. Except there is. Len said it was the best performance so far this season. Like I said, she does all the steps well. But I didn’t expect that. I expected them to explain the part that is a touch odd. Len gave her a 9!!! everyone else gave 8s. She is tied for first with a score of 33.
David the pro athlete
He did a Magic Mike routine. It was bad. Mr. T could have done more with it. He peaked his first night. And if Len doesn’t get on him for being raunchy, Erika will lose her mind. Because that routine was raunchy. Len called it fun and entertaining and he loved it. The judges liked it. Whatevs. He actually got a 7 from Len and three 8s. Score:31. wow.
Erika
Erika and Gleb went to Vegas to see the Absinthe show for inspiration. She probably flew him on the private plane and then rented that red sports car. She struggled in practice with the Jive which is really had. Gleb says you either do great with the Jive or you suck. Erika had a lot of nerves and a lot of determination. She did well. I don’t think it was her best dance. Gleb carried a lot of the choreography. She looks heavy. How is that possible? She’s lost weight on the show already and she didn’t need to. She started in a lift, and Carrie Ann is taking a point. A point she can’t afford to lose. She got 6s from Carrie Ann (lift) and Bruno (timing) and sevens from Len and The other one. Score 26. Disappointing but fair.
Rashad
Rashad is on top of the leader board and he is shocked. He did the samba. It was mesmerizing. The female judge whose name I can never remember was harsh. They didn’t like it. Apparently he started off on the wrong foot. I thought his footwork was great when I remembered to look at his footwork. He got straight 7s. Score 28
Normani
Val and Normani flew straight form the show last week to Hong Kong. They trained in the hotel in between her concert obligations. Val takes her to see Big Budda and the cows. It’s the exact same route the RHOBH took. Normani is only 20! No wonder she has all that energy! I love her. I literally got chills watching her dance. She’s incredible. If she doesn’t win something has gone terribly wrong. I would give her a ten. Carrie Ann is deducting for a lift. WTF? It wasn’t part of their dance. The partner didn’t life her. That is some bullshit right there. Carrie Ann and Len gave her an 8! AN 8!!!! The others gave her 9s. Score 34. It should have been higher.
This was an odd night of scoring where Nancy Kerrigan is tied for second with Heather? The Magic Mike crap scored a 31? Really?
The bottom two were Charo and Nick. Charo went home. Once again Mr. T was not in the bottom.
I pity the fool who doesn’t believe.Olive for Charo she inspired me to play guitar con passion.
Just finished watching Erica dance and I totally agree….she looked heavy and danced heavy as well. She looked beautiful tho.
Erica can’t dance. It was painful to watch her doing a series of poses, which she does in her videos, and passing it off as dancing. I thought the scores were ridiculously generous.
I kept wanting her to become more graceful, to complete her arm extensions, seem more comfortable in her movements- it just wasn’t there last night. I wrote it off to nerves.
She looked beautiful but was not as graceful as she should have been. I thought her score was fair to generous.
If Nick were in some kind of amateur non-pairs dance show, he’d probably be doing better. I always noticed how well he moved on The Bachelor (when they had to do bizarre stage challenges and such), and it was the same thing in the opening act when he was fronting the guys.
On this show, you always have to be suspicious of the “bottom” two or three when they don’t actually say they were the lowest scoring. I bet Mr. T was actually the next-lowest scorer.
To me, Nancy Kerrigan looks like Lauren Graham when she’s smiling and laughing.
I think Nancy looks fine. But I saw Kate Gosslein dance on her series and she has that same thing…I think the person pointing it out last week said something about the way an older woman dances (probably due to aches and pains). It just looks…different. I agree with the judges that she got all the steps right but I still think her score was inflated. But not as much as the Magic Mike score, MY GOD I disagreed with the judges about that.
I agree with the dancing aspect, especially with the choreography. Nancy is very…coltish, maybe? They can’t control the dance style they’re given, but something a little more Bob Fosse and less “bombshell” would probably suited her more. None of these are dancing terms, obviously.
That Cowboy gives me a Bonner.
Heh Me too, but now I’m having fantasy issues about his lack of rhythm…
The cowboy is yummy.
I think of him as “Junior Bonner”, the movie in which Steve McQueen played a rodeo cowboy named…Junior Bonner. I wonder if his parents named him after that character?
I tried to see his hotness, but that fugly tattoo across his entire chest ruins it for me. It’s a Bonner killer.
