One Big Super Bowl
Dance - February 2
"Stop! In the name of love!" and turn off that XBOX
360 mess. Because "Dancing With The Stars" has "an
invitation across the nation" to see our couples "go
to a go-go" as they master the samba, and after that,
all 6 will "shop around" for the best moves as they
take to the floor in a big group dance. The couples
will dance, and when that's over, our judges will rate
the whole thing from 1 to 10. Whoever's last in
elimination will have "tears of a clown" and be out of
here for good. We all "know who's losing" a couple
last week, and it was P. & Ashly. Whose "world will
end the moment" elimination time comes? "Let's Get it
on!"
Getting the party started, Stacy & Tony. In practice,
they saw a real samba dance, and they'll see how it
pays off as they dance to Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious."
By the 1st verse, both turned their backs and did a
butt shake. Both did some arm raises, but Tony took a
knee, did a shake, but by the end, Stacy did a fall
back, a back slide-through and a swerve to end it. Now
let's get a first glance of the judges: Carrie
Ann...stands up & clap for the routine, Len said
they're such an impressive couple, and Bruno said
Stacy is a weapon of mass seduction. Will they be in
missile command for 1st, or will their hopes read "The
End?" Shooting the numbers:
CARRIE ANN: 10
LEN: 10
BRUNO: 10
Total: 30
Now that's how you start a show.
2nd, George & Edyta. Last week, he played "Zorro."
What will he do this week? At practice, they went to a
zoo. Now let's see how they act like animals as they
dance to "Conga" by Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound
Machine. George led the band, while Edyta did some
moves down the entrance area. George switched roles to
dancer as he took the floor, and Edyta did some samba
moves. Edyta also did a squirm-through, and a flip &
split to end the song. Now we follow our lead to the
judges: Carrie Ann said they were so entertaining to
watch, Len said they were dancing for joy, and Bruno
said the performance was like a fruit cocktail. Will
get get squished and turn into fruit juice? Let's go
to the scoreboard:
CARRIE ANN: 8
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
Total: 24
And it's 2nd place joy for them.
And 3rd up is Lisa & Louis. Last week's performance
put the nail in the coffin on the show. After an
appearance by her husband, Harry Hamlin of L.A. Law
fame, let's see how they act like screwdrivers as they
dance to "Le Freak" by Chic. Both went to the band
area to the floor at the start, and both did their own
chest shake. Louis did a little arm rolling, but Lisa
made up with a leg hold & dip to end the song. Let's
hope they don't freak out on the judges: Carrie Ann
said the performance came up a notch, but the samba
was missing, Len said he couldn't agree with Carrie
Ann and Bruno said it was gorgeous & luscious. After a
snippet of the group dance rehearsal and a few
commercials, we get these scores:
CARRIE ANN: 7
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 9
Total: 25
That'll take them to 2nd place.
Up 4th, Tia & Max. Last week, they turned P. & Ashly's
championship dream into a nightmare. Will her dream
continue? Let's see how they do to No More Tears
(Enough is Enough) by Donna Summer. Tia did her own
intro to the floor, and busted out a few solo moves,
while Max walked down and did nothing. Suddenly, he
ignited it with his dancing moves, but Tia threw some
clothing articles away. Max, however, did a solo
shake, and told the crowd to get up. Both did some arm
rolling, a disco gesture, and a knee dip by Max to end
the song. Now we go over to the judges: Carrie Ann
said the middle portion was great, Len said it was
more like Baltimore than Brazil, and Bruno said it was
like a Zigfield Follies beauty queen. Was it turning
into a fad or a folly? Only the scoreboard will know:
CARRIE ANN: 7
LEN: 7
BRUNO: 8
Total: 22
And they end up in dead last.
In 5th position, Jerry & Anna. Last week, they went
from 0 to 120 in 90 seconds with their Foxtrot. Can
they shift into 4th gear? For practice, they got
Jerry's daughter, Jada, to help him out. Now let's see
if the help pays off as they dance to "For Once In My
Life" by Stevie Wonder. Both did some shaking with
their backs turned in the band area, and as they went
to the floor, Anna did a merry-go-round move, and also
did a sqiurm-through, a kick, some salsa moves, and a
few spins. Give credit to her, but was it enough
credit for the judges? Carrie Ann said they were such
a joy to watch, Len said it was much better, but the
posture was great, and Bruno said Jerry was cracking
the world tonight. Now let's crack some numbers on the
leaderboard:
CARRIE ANN: 7
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
Total: 23
And they go to 3rd place.
Way up last, Drew & Cheryl. Last week, a higher score
decided to let the rivalry of Stacy & Tony go on.
Let's see how that continues to "Dirrty" by Christina
Aguilera. Both went from the band area to the floor at
the start, and both did a samba roll, but Drew took a
portion of his shirt off, and both had fun with it.
Drew threw the portion away, and Cheryl did a dip,
while Drew did a knee move, but Cheryl pushed him down
to end the song. Now we head on over to the judges:
Carrie Ann said they did a great job, btu needs to
watch the shoulders next time, Len said it got flair &
exuberant and Bruno said they were on target again.
Now we get the scores one last time:
CARRIE ANN: 9
LEN: 9
BRUNO: 9
Total: 28
And that's good enough for 2nd place.
Before we get into the group dance, let's take a look
at the scoreboard:
Stacy & Tony have a perfect score of 30 and they
secure 1st place, Drew & Cheryl have 2nd with 28, 3rd
has Lisa & Louis with 25, George & Edyta have 24,
Jerry & Anna have 23, and Tia & Max are in last place
with 22. It seems that the other 4 couples have a
1-point differential in the standings.
Before they take the floor, they rehearsed with Gustao
Vargas, and as he says, there's a lot going on, and
there were a lot. George gave us some comic relief,
and broke it down with some Spanish. Meanwhile, DWTS
was turning into the WCW as Cheryl hit Drew in the
nose and he was left bleeding. Ouch! Meanwhile, the
channel changed into a daytime soap opera, as temper
flared in the room. Anna & Max exchanged words, while
the rest did the same thing. When the smoked cleared,
they go to the floor to dance to "Rhythm is Gonna Get
You" by Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine and
they danced in unison. There was a lot of action
individually, like 1 couple who took a knee, another
one that has Cheryl doing a dip, and another couple
like Edyta who did a dip. All did a big ending and
there was one couple who flashed a few V signs. And
with that, I'm about to sign off for the show. Tune in
tomorrow to see which couple is facing the STOP sign
as elimination time comes. We're on a 23-hour break.
See you tomorrow when we dance with the stars.
