99 Ways To
Dance (The Round of 5) We're almost there! Just 1 more show left before we hit our 100th episode. Same thing as last week, so let's begin. BALLROOM ROUND We start off with Kristi & Mark doing a quickstep. Only one highlight you got to see was Mark lifting Kristi up at the end. Len cheered her up, Carrie Ann liked the beginning and Bruno wants her to become a super ticket for the final. It's Super Scoreboard to the rescue. CARRIE: 9 Round 1 Score: 29 Next up, Mario & Karina doing a Viennese waltz to "If I Ain't got You" by Alicia Keys. Both walked down the stairs and waltzed on. Karina did a few spins and even a jump & spin move. Now let's go to the judges. Carrie Ann said it was much more elegant, Len said it was the most elegant and Bruno said it was all polished. Wax the scoreboard! CARRIE: 9 Round 1 Score: 27 Marissa & Tony will now fox trot to "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra. With a nice opening move, Marissa did a kick and a spin move. Later, Marissa did another kick and a whirlybird move to end it. We go now to the judges. Carrie Ann said she loved it, Len said it was better in hold and Bruno said it was engaging. Here's the scoreboard: CARRIE: 9 Round 1 Score: 25 Jason & Edyta take the tango and they're next. One highlight you might see if Jason lifting Edyta up and dropping her at the end. Let's drop in with the judges. Carrie Ann said it was breathtaking & beautiful, Len said it took too much like a tango and Bruno said it was so sexy. So, let's look at the scoreboard: CARRIE: 10 Round 1 Score: 29 This just in....Cristian changes his mind and decides to go for the title. I hope they do well. Their first test: The tango. The song: "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. They don their sequin gloves and danced to it. He overcame the odds to tackle the routine. Now let's go across with the judges. Carrie Ann said she didn't see nothing negative, Len admired Cheryl for a great job and Bruno called him the man with the golden arm. Hammer those nails to the scoreboard! CARRIE: 10 Round 1 Score: 28 So after 1 round of play, Kristi & Jason are tied with 29 at the top, but things change as we heat up in our Latin round. LATIN ROUND First up, Kristi & Mark doing a samba. Looks like Mark brought his batteries for this routine. Kristi did a few spins and she also did a blender spin. To the judges we go. carrie Ann didn't care for it, Len said it had great speed and Bruno said she spun beautifully into a drop. Let's drop in to the scoreboard: CARRIE: 8 Round 2 Score: 26 Next up, Mario & Karina doing a jive to "Little Bitty Pretty One." Mario did an acrobatic leap and Mario did a split. Karina even did a twistable ending to a split. To the judges again. Carrie Ann said it brought a whole new flavor to the jive, Len said it had no footwork and Bruno said it was the spirit of rock 'n roll. Does the scoreboard scare you more than the dentist? CARRIE: 9 Round 2 Score: 26 It's now Marissa & Tony's turn to mambo. Marissa started doing leg work and after some lukewarm work, Marissa did a blender move. We head over to the judges. Carrie Ann loved the way she went for it, Len said it was a little bit dainty and Bruno said she wants more of sexy, but we want more scoreboard. CARRIE: 8 Round 2 Score: 23 Jason & Edyta will be next doing a samba. Edyta did a kick circle and there was even a lift getting near the end. Let's point over to the judges. Carrie Ann appreciated his technique, Len said it looked uncomfortable and Bruno said it got a turkey with your samba. Strike! Here's the numbers: CARRIE: 8 Round 2 Score: 23 To wrap this puppy up, Cristian & Cheryl doing a Mambo. Cheryl did a few spins and both put their arm work to use. Cheryl got hung upside down at the end, but we go right side up with the judges. Carrie Ann said it was definitly Latin, Len said it was full or energy and Bruno said it's magic. Let's make the scoreboard appear: CARRIE: 10 Round 2 Score: 29 One last check of the board:
57 -- Cristian & Cheryl Ninety-nine down and one more to go. Tune in tomorrow for the 100th episode. Hope you brought something for everybody. |
