The results…a little surprising.
Dancing With the Stars…had an unfortunately leather-clad, do-wopped do’d Brian Setzer singing Stray Cat Strut (would have rather seen him at his orchestra leading best) but it also had Louis! Louis and Karina danced like they were on fire. Literally.
The Macy’s 150th celebration left me a little unimpressed. Enjoyed the James Brown knock off, and the futuristic (if the future is, oh, now) was cool, but overall, it needed more Wade, or David Scott, or…somebody. But, good try.
That leaves the encore, which went to Julianne/Cody to the surprise of virtually no one, but a bottom two that did raise a few eyebrows. Cloris survives to clown again, but the surprise there is she wasn’t even in the bottom two. I predicted her and La Lucci, with Susan heading out. Well, Susan was in the Bottom Two…with Toni/Alec. And it was Toni (not Tony) taking leave this evening. So, a bit of a surprise there as I figured she had another few weeks, and wouldn’t go until after Susan and Cloris were gone, perhaps languishing a bit with possibly Lance and/or Maurice, depending. But my heart doesn’t need unbreaking, as, it’s agreed that she really hasn’t grown much. I just think she’s a better performer than Susan, so that part is a surprise. (Cloris staying will never be a surprise.)
So, next week Len is taking a break from judging and we get a special guest judge. And he’s definitely connected to the dance world, but I’d have never guessed, if I’d guessed all night. Yes, Lord of the Rings, Michael Flatley, will be the guest judge. Would you have guessed? I think not. So….that will be interesting. Wonder if they’ll put Carrie Ann between him and Bruno to keep a cat fight from exploding. Although…that could be entertaining. We’ll see!
We’ll also get to see Cloris do her madd hip hop skillz (and sadly, her impromptu hip hop moves, prodded by Sam, were about 1000 times better than Sam’s impromptu beat boxing. Which, don’t do that again, Sam. Ever. Cloris, on the other hand, wasn’t too shabby.)
Whatever the case, it won’t be boring. What did you think? Surprised? Shocked? Still trying to picture Flatley and Bruno together? DISH!
And don’t forget to enter this week’s contest. Details in Monday’s blog post. Good luck!
I was surprised to see Toni leave, but not disappointed. I was shocked to see Susan in the bottom two. Yes, she isn’t much of a dancer, but I figured her soap fans would vote like crazy for her.
I was sad to see Toni go. I was hoping Susan would be leaving.
Toni being the one to leave did surprise me. I thought it would be Susan.
ONce Cloris was saved early I thought for sure it would be Susan. I think Susan and Cloris should have gone before Toni.
I wasn’t all that impressed with the Macy thing either, considering the build up they gave it.
Louie and Katrina were freaky fast.
Maybe it’s me but Cloris isn’t as funny as she was in the beginning - I really think she needs to go and then Susan.
