Dancing with the Stars--Week 4



This week's dances were all about drama, romance & passion. Three of my favorite things! I felt that the remaining 9, with the exception of one, really took the ability level up a notch or 2. This is getting to be an intense contest! There were five 10s given out and 2 almost perfect scores. The heat is on!!!

Kristi Yamaguchi came out of the starting gate and set the bar for the night. As usual, she was perfection and gave a very impressive Pas a doble` performance that netted her two 10s and a score of 29. She was a tough act to follow.

Priscilla Presley was up next with the Viennese Waltz. I thought she was very graceful although it did seem a bit strained at times. She looks much less hard and waxy with her dress and hair done in curls. Maybe she should go for that look more often.

Adam Carolla came out with his version of the Pas a doble`... on a unicycle! Between that and the fire in the background I felt like I was watching a circus act. Can't he just dance and not have all the distractions? He is the only one who didn't break into the 20s and I think it shows that he is out of his league here. It's time for him to go home.

Marlee Matlin gave a beautiful Waltz performance that moved CarrieAnn to tears! I felt her posture is a little limp, kind of like a ragdoll. This may be related to here deafness, we'll see if she improves next week.

Mario's Pas a doble` was fast and quick but I was most impressed with Karina's boobs. That dress was awesome! She can be quite bitchy but I'll overlook it and focus on her chest.

Next came Jason Taylor with his Waltz. He recovered from his lower score last week and brought an amazing dance. He was the second dancer to garner two 10s and an almost perfect score.

Being a Latino, Cristian de la Feunte did a great job with his Pas a doble`. It was very intense and focused, something I haven't seen from him thus far. He was awarded with one of the higher scores of the night with 26.

One of my personal favs is Shannon Elizabeth. Her partner Derek had a little medical trouble last week but seemed to but much better last night. These two have serious CHEMISTRY!!! They looked like they were just going to go for it at the end of their dance. She also got one of the coveted 10s...from Head Judge Len! That makes it even more impressive!

Marissa Jaret Winokur had a much better night than last week. Her Pas a doble` was very serious and difficult but she pulled it off. I felt like there was maybe a little too much concentration at a couple points but otherwise felt she nailed it.

My pick to go home: Adam...please!!! See you next week! :)

This week's dances were all about drama, romance & passion. Three of my favorite things! - ROTFLMAO !!!!

And I almost would have watched if I had known that Adam Corolla woudl dance on a unicycle

As American as Apple Pie said...

It was bizarre. There was maybe 1 minute of dancing in his routine.

What strikes you as funny about my favorite things?

Leighann said...

You know, I thought Kristi looked very stiff, she didn't seem very graceful to me, considering figure skating is all about being graceful.

I'm SO in love with Marlee!

Doc said...

If find it amusing that "drama" is one of your favorite things... but you make fun of me for being a "realist"

As American as Apple Pie said...

I meant drama combined with romance and passion. Like soap operas and chick flicks.

Doc said...

*Barf*

As American as Apple Pie said...

I wondered what kind of response that would elicit.

As American as Apple Pie said...

Leighann--she was supposed to be stiff in that dance. I really want to see her let her hair down though.

Anndi said...

I think Doc secretely loves watching chick flicks like Steel Magnolias and having a good cry.

Anndi said...

My Chicklet just stared at Adam, lifted an eyebrow and groaned LOL

Doc said...

I think Anndi is incorrect.... LOL!

Lu' said...

I think Christy was too mechanical. Too intense. Don't you think Pricilla looked old when she was roller skating? I think it was the scarf around the neck. Marrissa did dance well but, take it from this fat chick her performance will always be lacking because of the visual. Boo Boo I know but it is true. As for Adam, that sucker's gotta go. Maybe if he is still around we'll have him ride the unicycle again and remove the seat :)

Karen said...

I was cracking up about the unicycle. LOL. But I didn't Jason did as great as the judges did. He tripped - and he still got 2 10s. Puh-lease.

LOL.

Anndi said...

ok ok Doc... Pretty In Pink!

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

As American as Apple Pie said...

LMAO @ Lu! Yeah, let him ride that thing w/o a stick. I contemplated boycotting the show if he stays but then I would be letting you all down!

Karen--I guess I missed the trip-up. I'll have to go back and watch online.

Anndi--Love that movie! Doc is too rigid in his thinking to contemplate watching a chick flick and will get bull-y if you try and make him.

Doc said...

"I will not watch them at my house, I will not watch them with my spouse"

Hee Hee !

As American as Apple Pie said...

Or Seuss-y.

Doc said...

If Mt. Cat ever gets back to the blog lets see if he remembers why I like the movie "Pretty in Pink"

Jay said...

I've had enough of Adam. He really needs to go.

As American as Apple Pie said...

Yeah, where is Mt Cat? Is he sleeping off his late night birthday partying?

As American as Apple Pie said...

Is is the song? "I touch you once, I touch you twice..."

Doc said...

No this is not something you would probably be able to guess... however I am willing to bet that Vin will know immediately. It's something that is very Doc and Mt. Cat-ish from our past.

Lu' said...

Karen, I agree. Just because he is tall dark and smooth, he still tripped and it was a pretty good fumble.

Lu' said...

Which one has Long Duck Dong? Pretty in Pink or 16 Candles?

Anndi said...

16 candles

Lu' said...

Thanks Anndi. Oh that's right the Grandparents bring him with when they come for the wedding. Pretty in pink, the Mom took a powder.

Patrick's Mommy said...

It is very rare that Doc will watch a chick flic. I DO watch General Hospital and he hates it. However......he can tell who some of the characters are.
I think we have only watched one chick flick together and that was our second date. Man, was I dupped! LOL

As American as Apple Pie said...

YEA!!!!! Adam Carolla is gone!!! Ok, I'm happy now.

ZenDenizen said...

3 things jumped out at me this week:

Tango to Blue Monday? WTF!!!

Will Shannon and Derk acknowledge they're getting it on already? Super hottie couple!

Christian's chest. OMG. Does anyone miss Max anymore?
