It Takes One To Know
One
- April 30
Heather Mills' falldown
put a curse on elimination the past 2 weeks, and an
encore from John snipped out of the bottom 2. But that
can all change, again as the couples do 2 more
routines. Let's get it going.
For the first time this season, I took all 6 couples
and combined the ballroom and the latin round into 1
paragraph....or maybe 2. Laila & Max will go first in
the ballroom doing a quickstep to "Part-Time Lover" by
Stevie Wonder and she put her good boxing skills to
use. Here's what the judges said....Carrie Ann quoted
one line from an old LL cool J song, Len said she's
turned the gas up, and Bruno said she's opened the
door to ballroom heaven. Combining the judges
scorecards, we have a first round total.
ROUND 1 Score: 29
For their Latin round, they did a samba, and looked
more better than ever all with a solo by Laila at the
end. How did that go? Carrie Ann said that was
amazing, Len said he hopes her dad's is proud. And I'm
proud to see the scores:
ROUND 2 Total: 30
Overall Score: 59
After one narrow escape, John & Edyta will be up. In
the ballroom round, they did a fox trot to "That's
Life" by Frank Sinatra. John took up the entire floor
for that dance. Now let's see if the judges are worth
it. Carrie Ann said it's his best dance thus far, Len
said he would be in a hospital if he keeps this up,
and Bruno said he's been to dance rehab. Maybe the
scores would feel better, perhaps?
ROUND 1 Total: 23
Maybe a rumba felt better as they danced to "Under
Pressure" by Queen. (or was it Ice Ice Baby by vanilla
Ice?) John proved that he's the senior citizen showing
a sexy dance to the people at home. But did the judges
in the ballroom see that? Carrie Ann said he's the
best mover despite being old, Len said he's not the
first old guy to seduce a young girl....maybe it was
Jerry Springer.....and Bruno said his footwork is
improving incredibly. Did a score improve?
ROUND 2 Total: 22
Overall Score: 45
Apolo & Julianne will be up. In the ballroom round,
they did a fox trot to "Steppin' Out." It was very
classy all the way no matter what. Let's step aside
with the judges. Carrie Ann said she was amazed by
that musicality, Len said it was in no way great and
Bruno didn't see where the badness was. But there's a
good thing we have the scoreboard, and here it is:
ROUND 1 Total: 26
What's more good is that they took a mambo, and did
more moves with caution. But did that throw any
caution to the judges wind? Carrie Ann said it was a
little off this time, Len said he couldn't call it
great and Bruno said he's selling it with such ease.
Now the scoreboard, with class....
Round 2 Total: 28
Overall Score: 54
Ian & Cheryl are up. In the ballroom round, they did a
tango to "Holdin' Out for a hero" by Bonnie Tyler, and
with his best tango, it made the former cast of
"90210" proud. Were the judges proud, too? Carrie Ann
said he had the drama, Len said it had fire & passion
and Bruno said it was the revenge of Ian. Was revenge
sweet to the numbers?
Round 1 Total: 27
The latin round gave him even more as they mambo to "Gimmie
The Light" by Sean Paul. He took a shirt minus the
sleeves and danced all the way like crazy. Now let's
see if the judges shed some light on him. Carrie Ann
gave him a nice attitude shift, Len said he's got
great rhythm and Bruno said it's his night for a
breakthrough. But let's conquer the numbers, shall we?
Round 2 Total: 27
Overall Score: 54
We got Billy Ray & Karina ready to dance. In round 1,
they did a waltz to Neil Diamond and let Billy Ray
have Karina at it. Did the judges have at it? Carrie
Ann said it was enough content, Len said it was a smba
step in the routine and Bruno said it was like Vanna
White on "Wheel of Fortune." Where will the numbers
land?
Round 1 Total: 17
Round 2 gave them a chance to turn them around as they
samba to "Living In America" by James Brown. That
samba step in the last round, gave them more feeling
with Billy Ray and his motorcycle boots. Now the
judges. Carrie Ann said it managed to pull it out
sometimes, Len said it didn't get those shoes off
Master P and Bruno said it managed to pull yourself
through the dance without respect of anything. Did it
turn around?
Round 2 Score: 21
Overall Score: 28
Joey & Kym will go dead last. In the first round, they
fox trotted to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me
Feel." Joey performed a little magic, and it turned
out to be magical. And now for the next trick, the
judges. Carrie Ann said it finally pulled the stops
out, Len said it had attidude, belief and confidence
and Bruno said it was dazzling. Here's the numbers:
Round 1 Score: 29
To end the night, They did a jive. It was all with
kicks, and a whole lot of fun. Now the judges one last
time. Carrie Ann said he's flexible, Len said it was
totally N*SYNC, and Bruno said a smashing showcase of
talent. Let's end it with a smash, shall we?
Round 2 Score: 30
Overall Score: 30
What a smashing night. Here comes the final tally:
59 -- Laila & Maks, Joey & Kym
54 -- Apolo & Julianne, Ian & Cheryl
45 -- John & Edyta
38 -- Billy Ray & Karina
It turned out to be a smash hit alright, but tomorrow,
one will get smahsed. For real. Smash you later.
