Dancing With The Stars 4/18/11

Man! This Dance Blog is hard to keep up on!
*Forgive me if I am a bit behind, it was a busy week with my son's birthday and Easter and all*

Tonight was Dancing With The Stars 1000's dance! WOAH! It was "Americana" night. Hmmm.

First to perform was Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff (who in unrelated news was in Playboy this month...SHOCKER!) Ralph joked that he was from New York, Karina is from Russia and they are doing a Brazillian Samba to "Sweet Home Alabama" LOL. Karina really worked on his hip action, but the ballroom dances are really better suited for him. It was a bit frenzied for me..but there were some good moments-like his Samba rolls and the little line dancing moments. Their score: 22

Next...Chris and Cheryl. They danced to America the Beautiful. Chris was in some military attire. I can't help but notice how short Chris is. The dance was okay, a bit boring in my opinion. Their score: 26 (I can't believe they beat Ralph)!

Next...Petra and Dimitry. Dancing to Viva Las Vegas. She seems like such a nice person! They must have increased the budget this year, the sets and backgrounds were so fancy this week, and the last few weeks actually! I think she has improved a lot and I just love to watch Dimitry dance..their score: 22

Next...Romeo and Chelsie..dancing to "New York, New York"...I think his dance was my favorite of the week. He reminded me of Gregory Hines a little bit! Plus the song reminds me of a dance I did when I was on the Crimson Line. Their score: 26

Next...Hines and Kim...I liked his military outfit better, although Kym's outfit didn't really match the dance. They danced to "Proud to be an American". It was very good. I am beginning to think this season is very good, it is going to be very tight. Their score: 27

Next...Kirstie and Maks. I was worried about what might go wrong this week....luckily nothing did. The package before the dance was GREAT. John Travolta came to visit Kirstie and Maks, I was LAUGHING! They danced to "American Woman". Maks was shirtless and wearing leather pants, WOAH!!! I wish that I could do this dance with Maks!!! He SOOO thinks that he is HOTT and he is right, LOL! Their score: 23

Next...Kendra and Louis. Their package showed Kendra being hurt from her criticism, I loved how Louis talked to her, he "coached" her with care, with honesty. She did SOO much better this week with her energy, you could tell she was having fun. Their dance was the 1000th dance! They had a huge celebration for it, woah. Their score: 22

Finally..Chelsea and Mark. Samba to "Party in the USA"...I don't know what it was, but I didn't like this dance...maybe it was the low-cut pants. I just think Chelsea was a bit awkward in this style. Their score: 26

My hubby will be happy to hear this, I am not saving this episode on my DVR, I didn't really LOVE any of the dances...but everyone is really good and I couldn't pick who was the one to go....
