Last week the ballroom experienced another shocker: Sabrina was sent home! She had the highest overall scores and somehow still managed to get voted out. Ironically, week 6 was the same week she got voted out in her original season. What a bummer! We all knew that this season was going to be tough because there were so many extremely talented dancers, but each week seems like a shocker.
This week, the couples must perform 2 dance styles in one (dance fusion), which were chosen by other dancers the week before, plus a dance marathon. Should be interesting! With the election this week, no one is being eliminated, so all scores will be added to next week. As a result, 2 couples will be eliminated next week :(
Apolo and Karina--Cha-Cha/Paso Doble
Pure hotness! Crazy moves plus he rips off his shirt! Karina put together some great choreography and they were totally in synch! Loved it! In the words of Len: "Apolo, oh no? I say Apolo, oh yes!" Exactly! That number could have ended the night, but unfortunately, everyone has to go after him.
27+6=33
Emmitt & Cheryl--Rumba/Samba
Emmitt is looking very slim this week! I say it every week, but he just looks like he's having a blast on the dancefloor. He can shake his hips like no other. He just feels that groove and goes all out! It was such an interesting blend of dances because they are complete opposites. But, Cheryl choreographed them so well that you didn't realize a difference, it seemed like one dance!
27.5+7=34.5
Kirstie & Maks--Quickstep/Samba
Maks looks good in that costume! I never really notice her while they are dancing for some reason. I guess I just don't care that much what she's doing.
24+4=28
Kelly & Val--Foxtrot/Cha-Cha
What a cute dance! I loved the set, their costumes, and everything about the choreography! Very well done!
27+9=36
Melissa & Tony--Tango/Cha-Cha
I love her dress and hair this week (OK, I do every week!). OK, I love BOTH of her dresses! And those boots? Wow. Melissa is great every week, and this was no exception. I love to watch her dance. It looks like it just comes so easy to her. Tony put together a great transition from one dance to the next. Flawless!
29+10=39
Shawn & Mark (not Derek)--Tango/Paso Doble
Poor Derek! I love watching Derek and Mark choreograph together-pure magic and craziness! Even though I will miss seeing Derek dance this week, it is nice to see Mark back with Shawn again. She looked stunning this week! I love the choice of the Bon Jovi song for this powerful dance combo. Out of all the dances we've seen so far, these 2 dances seem the most suited to go together.
30+8=38
Gilles & Peta--Argentine Tango/Samba
Song choice=awesome! Love Robin Thicke's "When I Get You Alone!" Pair that with sexy Gilles, and you've got a winner! Oh yeah...and his abs! The French James Bond...yep, that pretty much sums it up! There's no point in critiqueing his dancing, because he is perfect...every...week!
28.5+5=33.5
Swing Dance Marathon
Clearly from the rehearsals, everyone is going all out! Kelly did a total belly flop from above Val's head...that had to hurt! And, here we go!
I love the quiet "golf-like" commentary that accompanies the dancing. I never know who to watch because there is so much cool stuff going on all at the same time.
Here's the order of elimination:
Kirstie & Maks (no surprise)--4 pts
Gilles & Peta (big surprise--5 pts
Apolo & Karina (what?!)--6 pts
Emmitt & Cheryl--7 pts
Shawn & Mark--8 pts
Kelly & Val--9 pts
Melissa & Tony are the winners!--10 pts
Here are some of my thoughts as the craziness ensued:
--Lots of big flips and spinning going on
--Emmitt is doing an handstand!
--Emmitt goes for a half-court slide
--I don't know what that move from Kelly and Val was, but it was cool
--Shawn & Mark get eliminated, and Mark stomps off like a little kid! Ha!
--And it's down to the girls: Kelly and Melissa, you go girls!
--Kelly and Val kind of get stuck in a rut doing the same move for just a little too long and are then eliminated, which means that Melissa and Tony are the winners!
