So, I like this year how everyone gets to dance 2 dances before the first elimination. Here is how week 2 went.
Dance 1: Sugar Ray and Anna: Jive
This dance was much more suited to Sugar Ray as it is fast and posture doesn't matter as much. Anna was also able to put some of his boxing moves in there and we saw that he could really move! You could tell that he was having fun. I love Anna in her red bob wig. Carrie Ann had some good feedback for them. PS..she is so pretty and has such a great figure! Week 2 score: 17 Combined both week score:34
Dance 2: Kendra and Louis: Quickstep
I love Kendra, she is so funny, so real, so down to earth (and that is how I like my pretty girls-not stuck up at all). She got emotional and showed some insecurities in the segment before her dancing. I think that when they show the package about telling how hard they had it always makes me think they will dance bad and then I am always surprised by how polished the actual routine is. Kendra was worried about being elegant and I think she was very elegant-she didn't rely on her sexiness and I liked that. Louis is a great choreographer-I love to watch him dance! Holly was there supporting her and that made me happy. Len used the word "Chesticles" for boobs, which had me cracking up! Week 2 score: 19 Combined both week score: 37
Dance 3: Chelsea and Mark: Jive
By far my most favorite dance!!! Probably because it wasn't as "ballroomy" and was more dancey like I like. That is why the judges HATED IT! OH so unfair!! It was so high energy, I liked the awkwardness of itThere was jive elements in it so I don't know why they upset about it. Again I have to say that this girl is WAY TOO GOOD to have no dance training. Len had another great phrase "sticky wicket", who knows what that means. Week 2 score: 18 Combined both week score: 39 I hope America votes for them!!
Dance 4: Chris and Cheryl: Quickstep
Cheryl is a great teacher and maybe that is why she has won the trophy so many times. Crazy to hear Chris say that Cheryl was harder than any of his wrestling coaches..woah! I always love during training when they whip out the training bar for their ballroom frame. I was curious to see how he would do in the elegant style. AND I was pleasantly surprised! Maybe athletes have an advantage because they have good stamina. He was also thrilled with his performance as was his family in the crowd. Gotta love Bruno's comment about his big bum. Week 2 score: 23Combined both week score: 42
Dance 5: Petra and Dimitry: Jive
I am not sure if I have ever seen Dimitry jive and it made me wonder what his specialiity is-because they all pretty much have one and they have to learn a lot of the other styles. The dance was okay for me, I didn't love it-I didn't hate it. She is pretty and has long legs but I agree with the judges..she needs a bit more technique. Week 2 score: 18 Combined both week score: 36
Dance 6: Kirstie and Maks (sigh): Quickstep
I love to watch them practice. He usually gets angry with his partners-but there is a new Maks who laughs more! Again she is charismatic and had some awesome advice about being happy with your weight. I can relate, as one who has NEVER been happy with my weight. Her comments made me laugh. Her plan is to lose 5 pounds a week-oooh sign ME up! Their dance was good-she moves so well for being not at her ideal weight and WHAT WAS THAT KISS AT THE END OF THE DANCE! OH MY! I loved that! The judges loved the dance. They told Brooke that the kiss was spontaneous..AWW! I woulda kissed him if I had the chance too! Yessire! Week 2 score: 20 Combined both week score: 43 Which puts them in 3rd place, which is RIGHT where I want them to be. If you are the leader right off the bat it can be scary and hard to keep it there...but if you are near the top you have room to move up. GO MAKS!
Dance 7: Mike and Lacey: Jive
He gave Lacey flowers during practive as an apology, aww sweet! Mike is a nice guy and he is cute and has a good figure but dancing is just not his strong suit. He had some great energy and I was impressed with his kicks and flicks...but he is just a bit stiff. I feel bad for him and Lacey did her best! Dr. Drew was in the audience (his co-host on Loveline). He got great comments from the judges. Week 2 score: 17 Combined both week score: 30 (yikes he might not make it past this week)He was the lowest...and probably deservedly so, sadly.
Dance 8: Romeo and Chelsea: Quickstep
They danced to "You're the One that I Want". I did a dance to this in High School, memories. I had mixed feelings about their dance. There were moments when it was very nice and some moments that felt stiff with bad posture. Len said "best dance of the night", um, I wouldn't say that. He had some nice stuff to say and (unlike his father) he seemed very humble. Their score: 23 Combined both week score: 42
Dance 9: Wendy and Tony: Quickstep
In the package she talks about her boobs making it harder to dance and I can relate because I struggled with that in high school, people say you shouldn't complain-but too much of a good thing is just TOO MUCH. It is painful-so I feel for her. She keep saying that she is going to show her personality and show some engergy and this week WAS better but it still not as great as I think she can be. I hope if she sticks around she can bring out the energy or she may be the next to go. She sort of looks like a drag queen..which isn't necessarily bad (I love the drag queens on RuPaul's Drag Race) she is just a big girl. Their score: 17 Combined both week score: 31
Dance 10: Ralph and Karina: Jive
In the package he brought in his 2 teenage kids...he still just looks too young for that! Oh and his son is named Daniel (I have to guess that is after his character in Karate Kid, precious!). Again I was super impressed by him! Who is this guy? He is going to be a serious contender for the championship!!! I wonder what he does in his normal life work-out wise. Len was a bit hard on his criticism. Their score: 21 Combined both week score: 45 They are the leaders! WOO HOO!
Dance 11: Hines and Kym: Quickstep
It was funny to see Hines teach Kym (who is from Australia) some slang. They danced to "Part Time Lover", which I love, even though it is about infidelity. He impressed me this week again. He needs to point his toes, but he had high energy, high performance factory and he was genuinely smiling the whole time! I am so glad that Kym has a good partner this year! Carrie Ann gets all googly over the jocks, and that bugs me JUST a bit....because I think she gives them a bit more credit than they deserve. Their score: 23 Combined both week score: 44
I am going to watch the DVR for the results show right now, I SHOULD go to bed, but I want to see who got eliminated. AGAIN, thumbs up on the two chances to dance!
