The semifinals here, and as usual, there was plenty of drama in store. Would Ralph survive this week’s rehearsals? Will Kym be okay? And tonight, each couple must perform THREE dances. Three. As in, one more than two. Yikes. That means two individual routines, and… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Final Four
Last night’s show was exhausting, wasn’t it? I felt drained after watching that two hour dance-a-palooza, and I wasn’t even the one dancing. With just a couple more weeks left, tonight’s results were the toughest yet. But before we get to our semifinalists …. Kirstie… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: And Then There Were Four
It’s the week before the semifinals, and the pressure is officially on. Everyone who is left can likely taste the finals, and we’re at that point in the competition where one wrong move will send you home. Tonight, each couple must perform their usual dance,… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Fast Five
Last night our stars were tasked with impressing ballroom legend Donnie Burns, and they (mostly) delivered. Romeo and Kirstie found themselves on the outs with the judges, which is usually not a good sign. But our ballroom is a fickle friend, and everyone should be… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Goodbye, My Friend
We’re down to six couples, and it’s time to separate the best from the rest. There’s a mirrorball trophy on the line, people. Tonight, each couple must perform two dances, their usual routine plus the dreaded (for me, anyway) team dance. And tonight there was… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: In the Presence of Greatness
Last night was Guilty Pleasures Week, and there wasn’t too much to be embarrassed about. All our stars turned in respectable performances, nothing horrific happened, which means tonight’s cut will be all the more devastating. Tonight’s results show was preceded by a one hour show… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Guilty as Charged
It’s Guilty Pleasures Week on DWTS, which means all of tonight’s dances will be interpretations of America’s Next Top Model, Jersey Shore, Real Housewives of [Insert City], or any reality show starring Bret Michaels. Not that I would know anything about those shows. Of course not.
Actually, it means our stars will be dancing to classic guilty pleasure songs, which is way less exciting than it sounds. And I was about to be all, pssssh please with this episode … and then Hanson performed. HANSON. As in, my first concert. As in, the boy band whose pictures ripped from the pages of BOP magazine adorned my bedroom. Hanson. On Dancing with the Stars. Ohemgee. (Also, “MMMBop” sounds totally strange when it’s being sung by farmer-men instead of prepubescent boys, yes?)
Kirstie and Maks
Dance: Samba
Guilty Pleasure: Baby One More Time
Verdict: Kirstie had a small tantrum in rehearsals and I think the competition is starting to take its toll. This was a decent performance, and she thankfully didn’t have any mishaps, but it felt like her heart wasn’t in it. The samba is a party dance, but I wasn’t feeling it.
Carrie Ann: “I want to see you in the finals.” – 8
Len: “You’ve never fulfilled the potential I saw in week one, until today.” – 9
Bruno: “Hit me Kirstie one more time!” – 9
If you’re reading this, it means you survived last night’s All-American Horror Show. I kid, I kid. There was some great dancing to be found last night, but unfortunately it was buried in stars, stripes, and spangles. So who got deported? Hines/Kym were sent quickly… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: American Bye
