Through the Rain With a Newspaper
October 1
Last week, it was Alec &
Josie,
who had a score that was low-sie,
the fans did pick right,
and it wasn't light,
as they were the first ones to go. See?
Enough with that limerick, this week, the remaining 11 will compete in
one night for a quickstep or a mambo. Get the popcorn out, it's time to
party!
Up first, Mel & Maks doing a quickstep to "Take on Me" by A-Ha. Both
danced around the band area and they did back kicks as well. Both did
quick bounces and ran to sit on the stairs to end it. Let's go to the
judges now. Carrie Ann said it was very solid, Len said it was able to
do it so beautifully, and Bruno said it had the classy look of Lena
Horne. Going around the horn for the scoreboard:
CARRIE: 7
LEN: 8
BRUNO: 8
Total Score: 23
Sweet Start!
Next up, Mark & Kym mambo to "Ride WIth Me" by Nelly. Kym did a split
and a go-through before Kym did spins. To the judges we go. Carrie Ann
said it certainly made her laugh, Len said it was a bit of a mess, and
Bruno said it was watching a bulldog chase a squirrel. Don't you mean
Georgia and Rocky? Anyways, here''s the scores:
CARRIE: 6

Not good, but it's 2nd place.
Now, Wayne & Cheryl doing a quickstep to "Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis
Presley. It had some tomfollery throughout, but it was serious as Cheryl
