DWTS week 3

Oh wow, I just love Anna and Evan! Anna has such a classy look this week and Evan danced great too. I can’t really see them winning the competition but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Evan and Anna end up in the finals.
Buzz and Ashley did so great in their storytelling this week. It was great to watch even if Buzz can’t dance. He’s old, how much do we expect from him. He’s adorable anyway. It’s like watching my grandpa dance and gives me a nostalgic feel. Jake and Chelsie’s jive was cute but I had a hard time not looking at Chelsie’s terrible wig. Jake is really surprising me at how well he’s doing. He’s another I expect to see in the finals. It’s pretty good that he’s done so great since his “star” status only comes from being The Bachelor and his day job is a pilot. Unless he’s doing line dancing up and down the aisles of the aircraft he flies, I really doubt he’s had much dance experience. Oh I so badly would love to see Niecy win this thing, just because she is such a joy to watch. I have never been a fan of Reno 911 but I’ve seen her on Clean House and I just love her personality. She’s normally so funny and not very serious at all but during the rehearsals she got emotional about the thought of not being able to be with her boyfriend if the law prohibited it, trying to put herself into character since their story was about a black woman and black man in a time when that was against the culture. I’m pretty sure Louis was relating the story to the fact that gay marriage is illegal by saying “I hear you, I’m still in that boat” after Niecy said she could not imagine not being able to be with someone you love because the law wouldn’t allow it or society wouldn’t allow it. Ok, first – not the same thing as a black woman not being able to be with a white man. But I’ll leave it at that. Also they had a lift, I saw it but Carrie Ann recognized that she stumbled trying to keep her feet on the ground, so she didn’t take a point off for that when it was obvious she’d already be docked for the stumble. Ochocinco is such a flirt. I love how cute him Cheryl are together. Is Cheryl married? If not they should have a love connection after the show is over…hm… It’s also a good thing that Ochocinco is nice to look at because he moves like a very tall lanky wooden log on the dance floor. His feet are slow but he’s getting better. It seems pretty common for the football players to do pretty well in the dance competition; maybe it’s something about them having to have good footwork for the game too. I love how Ochocinco is mouthing “call me” while Brooke is telling people to call in and vote. He had to keep up that flirty persona. PETA activist Pamela couldn’t dance the Paso Doble without throwing out there how she was against bull fighting. Pam, it’s just a dance. She actually looked great this week, moved well and thankfully left behind the over sexed vixen look. She’s dug herself out of the hole she was in I think and I am glad she did much better this week. Aiden and Edyta are doing quickstep which seems to me like the hardest dance because the moves are very fast and they have to practice it over and over, he even mentions that every time they practice the steps they have to do it at the same pace and it’s very tiring. It was nice that they show his family come in and have cake with him for his birthday and give him a break. Within the first 20 seconds of the dance Aiden was already looking really bad, his steps were completely out of sync with Edyta and it was a little hard to watch. The judges didn’t really mention it but I don’t know how they didn’t see it, they just mentioned that he has improved. Did I forget how terrible his dance was last week? Maksim looks a lot like Gerard Butler in PS I Love You these days. Not necessarily a bad thing. The waltz was great and I can’t believe she Erin was able to dance blind folded. She had to put a lot of trust in Maks. Len was kind of hard on them and the host came back at him by saying “apparently you weren’t the only one blindfolded” to Len. Kate is getting even with the paparazzi in the Paso Doble….fighting back by being terrible, making it harder for them to look directly at her. I can’t even go into detail about how I feel about it. Carrie Ann said that was “very strange” hahaha. Strange is the nice way to put it. I can’t believe people “booed” the 5’s the judges gave her. I would’ve given her a 3. I’m still standing by my thought that Nicole is going to win this thing. Her dance was great and Derek is the perfect dance partner for her. Len was terrible to her, saying that she didn’t do a quickstep. They got pretty much the same comments from Bruno and Carrie Ann, although Carrie Ann did say that when they take that show on the road she wants front row seats. I was surprised to see that they got a 9 from Bruno after he criticized them for breaking hold and not really doing a quick step. Some pros I’m missing this year are Karina Smirnoff, lacey Schwimmer and Julianne Hough. Please DWTS, bring them back next year!
