I still can't get used to this format...I almost forgot that someone else was going home at the end of the show. I think Bill Engvall will be in trouble. I also think Elizabeth and maybe Leah could be near the bottom. The big question is whether or not Bill Nye will be able to compete. After his fall last week, his leg has been a problem. In a picture posted on Facebook, his left leg was almost twice the size of his other skinny bird leg. The same question could go for Valerie, as she has been nursing an injured knee. Could we lose 2 people in 1 week because of an injury?
It's Hollywood night in the ballroom, can't wait to see what's in store!
Leah & Tony - Rumba
The James Bond theme, done to Adele's "Skyfall" should be really cool. I think it would be even cooler if Derek or Mark were choreographing it. I think Tony might go too predictable with it. But he does make a really cute James Bond!! Leah looks gorgeous as a Bond girl. I'm not totally buying their chemistry, it doesn't seem very genuine, it's a little forced. She did an OK job, but it didn't look like that difficult of choreography, and I think she could have taken it further.
Score: 24
Corbin & Karina - Quickstep
Karina wants to throw the book at him! She is hoping to put a move in that's never been done on the show before. This dance does not come as easily for him as the Latin dances have. I have a feeling he'll pull it off though. It's definitely quick! I think he matched her step for step, which had to be hard because it was so fast! Let's hope the judges like his form and hold. He's such a natural performer, and that really helps bring character to his dances.
Score: 26
Elizabeth & Val - Foxtrot
Wow, that is some big hair she's got this week! I really hate the old fashioned music, and this is just way too over the top...yuck! She danced it very well, but let's be honest, Foxtrots just aren't exciting, especially when you pair them with such out-dated music.
Score: 25
Brant & Peta - Quickstep
He is also hurt! He had been practicing in a boot all week because of a sprained ligament. Can I just say how fine he looks! What a strange version of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love"! Somehow they turned it into a 20's flapper song...weird! Any way...his dancing was phenomenal, especially considering his injury and how he wasn't able to practice full out. It was a really fun routine and good choreography from Peta.
Score: 27
Valerie & Tristan - ChaCha
I love Tristan's idea of making her Grace Kelly and he is Freddie Mercury...what a combo! His mustache in rehearsal was hysterical! Oh I was so hoping they would dance to Mika's "Grace Kelly"!! This combo was even funnier than I thought it would be. But Tristan's Freddie Mercury impersonations are to die for! Beyond that, her dancing is pretty atrocious, if I'm being honest. She just kind of stomped around. It was very entertaining though!
Score: 16
Bill Engvall & Emma - Paso Doble
The Lone Ranger theme is perfect for the Paso. He is so serious about this dance! It was a really fun routine! I think he did a very good job with not only the passion of the dance, but the dance moves as well.
Score: 24
Amber & Derek - Charleston
I could say this every week, but Derek is just too good looking...not to mention freakin' talented! His choreo this week was just off the hook! How does he manage to top himself every single week. The song was absolutely amazing...I have no idea what it was, but it was killer. The dance was killer, she was killer, can't say any more than that!
Score: 24
Jack & Cheryl - ChaCha
They definitely went a different route with the theme for this week. Jack was right, everyone was doing 20s, so his 70s pimp was a welcome change. What an interesting opening, with him going down a huge slide over the staircase. I loved Cheryl's outfit and boots! He looked like he lost a couple steps here and there, but overall, it was another good performance.
Score: 22
Christina & Mark - Charleston
I can't wait to see this, because Mark is dressed as a clown, in full face paint. Always the comedian and performer, he is. He looks absolutely hilarious! It is perfect for the Charleston. Aside from the costumes, I was actually a little undwhelmed by the choreography and the routine. I don't usually say that about Mark's dances. I didn't think they used the floor very well, they just kind of stayed in one place. I didn't think there was a lot of difficulty there, though.
Score: 26
Nicole & Sasha - Quickstep
Look at those little legs go! I didn't know if she would be able to pull off a ballroom dance or not, but she totally did! Lots of credit to Sasha for some great choreography, and that one-handed double cartwheel was super impressive!
Score: 25
Bill Nye & Tyne - Jazz
Tyne said Bill tore 80% of his quadricep and was told not to dance on it. BUT...he's going to dance! I can't believe it, what a trooper! He really wants this so bad, that he's willing to totally immobilize his knee and choreograph something "peg leg style", meanwhile running the risk of tearing things worse and requiring surgery. They have made us wait all night, and teased us with his homemade looking robot costume. This better live up to the hype, because there is a chance this is going to be epic. And it is epic!!!! Quite possibly the strangest thing to ever happen on the dancefloor! There are no words to describe this masterpiece. He was killing it without moving his leg! Tyne's choreography was so inventive and the routine was fabulous. The robot theme was perfect, and his costume was perfection. The technique might not be up to par, but entertainment-wise was a 10. Clearly, he could get all 1s and he isn't going anywhere...the fans love and adore him!
Score: 16
Elimination Results
In Jeopardy: Christina & Mark, Brant & Peta, Bill Nye & Tyne --- WHAT????? Really scared that someone good is going to go home WAY too early!
Going Home: Bill & Tyne
I am so in shock!The fan support for him was off the charts, I just can't believe it wasn't enough to save him. Apparently everyone thought he was a shoo-in and didn't bother to vote. I'm sad to see him go, but justice was served because on a talent level and a physical level, he just couldn't keep up. It wouldn't be fair for anyone besides him or Valerie to go.
