Dancing Through the Decades: Your Weekly DWTS Recap

Tonight the dancers will perform TWO complete routines, one with a certain decade theme! Remember Joanna and Derek’s futuristic Paso Doble from last season (vid above!)? Phenomenal. There are only five couples left, and next week is the semi-finals (already? I can’t believe it), so let’s start that sprint to the finish line.

BALLROOM ROUND

Chad Ochocinco, Tango: I’m excited for this! Chad does a great masculine dance, and has good footwork. His butt’s sticking out a little. Every mistake counts people! It was a little all over the place and Chad looks a little disappointed. “Good attack,” says Len, but it needed a little more “polish.” Agreed. Chad’s not off to a great start, and his Jive later may suffer.
Score: 7, 7, 7

Niecy Nash, Viennese Waltz: If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times. This dance is so boring. But Niecy just livened it up with a beautiful spin! She’s gliding across the floor! She looks like rainbow sherbet, but good for her! That was really cute, and light and fun. Ugh, Carrie Ann has to be such a downer. Talking about transitions and yada, yada.
Score: 7, 8, 8

Translation: Darrin’s Dance Grooves Leads to Dancing with the Stars

So, Erin Andrews and I haven’t been seeing eye to eye on a lot of things lately. Namely, I don’t like her dancing and she has no idea who I am and doesn’t care. But I (or to be honest, People magazine) may have found just the thing to help us put our differences aside and come to some kind of peaceful truce.

Ten years ago, I was a stocky, awkward sophomore in high school who liked Dawson’s Creek, playing basketball, and teaching myself how to dance with the Darrin’s Dance Grooves VHS tape my friend Sam got me for Christmas. From the looks of this video, Erin Andrews is part nerd, just like me (you have to wait ’til about the 44 second mark).

There’s No “I” in Team: Your Weekly DWTS Recap

Ah! The team dance! This is one of my favorite nights on Dancing with the Stars because I love to see the dynamics between the celebrities as they practice and compete together. Remember when all the girl pros wanted to kill Susan Lucci a few seasons ago? Remember the Single Ladies Mambo (see video above)? The team Cha-cha-cha (to Madonna and Gaga!) promises a lot of fun!

Erin Andrews, Quickstep: Len did not like Erin’s Samba last week, and Maks promises a proper Quickstep this week. And he’s also promising to take his pants off. Erin’s not having it. I’m a little sick and tired of them fighting. I need something else from this couple. Hmmm, they took their clothes off, but had other ones on. How cheeky! But the stripping has messed Erin up and she lost her timing. She’s definitely quick-stepping, but the hold and what-not was weird. Ugh, Len liked it. Called it her best dance…I need to take some classes on what these different dances are. It’s times like these I think this show is rigged.
Score: 9, 9, 9

I really hate Brooke’s necklace.
