On The Spot

Check it out! Up to the minute reporting of each dance as it happens...who stunk, who tripped, who cried, who rocked, who was funny, who was not, complete play-by-play coverage of Dancing With The Stars...who could ask for anything more? (Time delay of about 15 minutes so we don't have to watch the commercials. Love the DVR!! Love it.)
Is it just me or did it seems like a lot of paso dobles were danced tonight? Only five I know, but it seemed like a lot.
Up first is Kristi - quite different from performing last the past two weeks. Gut instinct: OMG she rocks. Good choreography from Mark. I'm liking him more now that he isn't dancing with Sabrina...is that mean? Probably. Whatevs. What is up with Len's shirt? Little bright yes? And Carrie-Ann's hair is oddly disarrayed...but her dress is gorgeous.
I have figured out what is weird about Priscilla's dancing - she doesn't spot when she turns. Her head turns with her body and that's makes her appear awkward. Not too excited about her dancing but she doesn't stink for someone who is 63.
I hope someone else is writing Sam's questions because if she's making them up she ought to be fired. So stilted and oddly delivered. Tom, on the other hand is awesome.
Adam is funny. Really funny. Maybe he should do like Kenny Main and commentate? OMG - what is with the unicycle?!!? The dance was amusing but Adam didn't dance much. I suppose, with all our trash talk we have underestimated Julianne. She is a good dancer. And she is very, very talented at making her partner look good. It takes a certain kind of talent to do that. But not LOOK like you are doing that.
I liked Marlee's jive, don't know about the narrator was talking about. Now the waltz tonight. Her hair was weird - but the dress was awesome and the dance was pretty. Very sweet and pretty. There's something slightly off about her posture, which the judges mentioned, but she made tough girl Carrie-Ann cry, so that's something.
There's some serious gold lame going on in Mario and Karina's costumes there. And the song doesn't really match the dance. Not bad. A little odd with the music. The judges are divided on his talent, as usual...but really, why would we care how old Len's underpants are?
Jason had a weird song too. But the man can dance. He's very smooth. Even in that shiny suit. Hee, hee, hee. Did you notice how Edyta was VERY careful to keep both feet on the floor for that swinging move? Nicely done. I think I have to vote for him tonight. OMG - Carrie-Ann is all sentimental tonight - a 10?
How many pleather animals had to die for the outfits Cheryl and Christian wore? I think she was trying to copy Melanie's outfit from last season. But even less of it. Christian had some moments during the dance where he seemed stronger than others - can I have a HI-YAH? - but it was good. A strong dance.
Okay - that was weird. Why was the face of the EMT worker blurred out when they came to pick up Derek? And Jonathan seems to be coming to everyone's rescue this season. Good thing it's a waltz and not the paso doble for Derek. A pretty dance. Soft and easy. Best dance though? Don't know about that.
While Marissa's choreography IS hard she didn't really punch it like it needs to - especially with their music. But it was better than last week. Much better. Does Carrie-Ann have to yell so loud when praising people? Jeepers. And I think Marissa and Tony are Sam's favorite pair. She certainly seems to be most excited when talking to/about them.
This will be a tough voting night.

This is me, reporting live from the living room.
