Dude.
First of all WHY do they change the format EVERY season?? I was counting on Men's night and Ladies night! Instead, because I missed last night's premier, I missed an entire round of dancing! So lame.
Now that I have let that out... Let's talk dancing!
Lacey and Lance: Quickstep... way too contemporary. I'm sorry, but don't like the addition of Lacey as of now. I didn't like her in SYTYCD and I don't like her here. 21
Maks and Misty: Mambo... out of control, but I love Maks so please Misty! Get better! She is energetic, however, and seems to feel comfortable on stage. Could work VERY well for them. 21
Cheryl and Maurice: Mambo... VERY entertaining, I love Cheryl's choreography. She does an excellent job of making her partners look like they are having fun... perhaps because they have to put out a lot of energy to keep up with her! 21
Derek and Brooke: Quickstep... Brooke you are SOO HOTT! I seriously need to hit the gym. She looks divine... a bit nervous but that is to be expected. I like that Derek is challenging her in the choreography. The judges are kissing her @ss a bit too much for me but I definitely enjoyed it. 26
Cloris and Corky: Mambo... OMG I think Cloris is the cutest thing on the planet. I'm not sure how long I will want to watch her dance. Actually yes I do. This is the last time I want to watch her dance. And apparently the judges agree. 16
Allan and Toni: Quickstep... She danced OK, but looked GORGEOUS (except for the eyeshadow) You can see the wheels turning the entire time she's performing, but it's early in the game and I think she gave a good performance overall. 23
Kym and Warren: Quickstep... Rehearsal looks like its not going so great... but I was honestly SO pleasantly surprised! That is a BIG BOY! Len is right that the technique is lacking, but he did very well for the 1st time out with the quickstep. I would like to see him stick around! For his attitude if nothing else. 22
Ina and Ted: Mambo... Contrary to my feelings about Lacey, I like the addition of Ina... Ted is so very sweet, and is trying so hard, I like him. I'm afraid to see what happens to him, but he is darn cute. I would like to see him stick around for a bit. 19
Julianne and Cody: Quickstep... Julianne is stunning as usual, and her costume is beautiful. Cody looks so young! I bet he has the biggest crush on Julianne :) She has a talent for making her partners look FANTASTIC. Truly. He has great potential, and she will be his greatest gift. 23
Karina and Rocco: Mambo... missed hand grabs on Rocco's part... but it had to be an improvement from last night's 4 (Len's score) Karina's latin choreography is stellar; I believe I have said it before. He has much to learn, but he is a delight and I would not mind seeing him stay. 21
Tony and Susan: Quickstep... Susan is very elegant, and you can tell she is trying VERY hard, unfortunately she is quite stiff throughout the first 3/4 of the routine, but it was refreshing to see her come out of her shell at the end! I think she needs to get a little confidence and perhaps she can go far! She looks genuinely thrilled with her scores. My gosh that woman is SOOO skinny! 22
Mark and Kim: Mambo... for so much @ss, she really doesn't know how to work it. Interesting... Mark danced it SO over the top to compensate (as Len said) but I want to see her stick around to see what wardrobe does with her in later episodes. 18
Edyta and Jeffrey: Went home tonight... Sadly I missed their performance last night. I feel bad that Edyta made it so far last season and went home first this go around. (And I wont get to make fun of her speaking).
Did you watch? What were your thoughts??
