Rock week.

I really do miss Julianne Hough, I hope she comes back, but I think she’s becoming too big of a star for that.  It’s no surprise that so many of the favorite dances are ones that she put together. 

Nicole and Derek’s 50’s paso is my favorite dance ever.  I love that dance every time I see it, and I’ve seen it a few times.  I confess that I just searched the dance in youtube and then shared it on facebook. 

Audrina and Tony – Audrina is so good but so boring.  I just don’t feel entertained when I watch her dance.  I just hope that the song they danced to wasn’t a subconscious foretelling of their very close future…. Another one bites the dust….

Kyle and Lacey – The dance was fine.  Maybe his best dance so far.  I am just sick of seeing him try to plan a kiss on Lacey at the end of every dance, it always looks awkward, like it’s not planed, so he ends up putting his mouth somewhere weird and it looks stupid.  He’s just to immature to just dance with Lacey without being a teenager. 

Jennifer and Derek – I think Derek is so great at choreographing the Paso, this one was awesome too.  I loved the intensity and Jennifer looked so great also.  They only seemed to lose it a little at the end, when She stumbled on the turn and Derek a little too.  Carrie Ann started out the judging very harshly, telling her to calm down, but I thought it was very fitting for rock week.  I kind of thought it should be a little more harsh and strong because of the theme. 

Rick and Cheryl – I think he looked too much like he was concentrating on the dance, rather than looking intense.  Other than his face, I thought the dance was great.  He did a good job at keeping his posture, even though Cheryl is so much shorter than him. 

Oh that’s very nice to see Martha Stewart in the audience.  When are we going to see her dancing on the show?

Bristol and Mark – Oh wow, what a way to redeem herself from last week’s nightmare.  I was really surprised to see that she kept her face straight for the most part through the whole dance.  One of my issues with Bristol has been that silly grin she always has on her face and it only peaked out right after her air guitar and in that, I’ll give her that one, it did look pretty good.  This was definitely her best dance and I am so happy to see her trying now. 

Kurt and Anna – I laughed so hard when Kurt came out dressed like Brett Michaels.  The dance was good, but he looked really tired through the whole thing.  I don’t know if he really looked like Jackie Chan but it wasn’t great. 

Brandy and Maks – Brandy has definitely gotten a lot better, the dance was intense and it was fun.  There was a small mistake at one point but barely noticeable. 

Rock and Roll Dance Marathon

 First couple out is Kurt and Anna.  Bristol and Mark our out next.  The worm just wasn’t a big crowd pleaser, or judge pleaser.  Rick and Cheryl left next then Kyle and Lacey (lasting longer than I expected).   Out of the 3 couples left, the next ones to go is Audrina and Tony.  Leaving Brandy and Maks and Jennifer and Derek.  No surprise there.   Brandy and Maks won the marathon, even after dancing last in the night.  They could have been so tired they wouldn’t have made it through the first 30 seconds, but they did great.  I thought Jennifer and Derek were better, but the judges know what they are doing. 


Results


Oh man, I've always loved Barracuda.  That song is one of the greatest songs of all time.  The dance was great too, but if I did see some sloppy stuff in there too, which is surprising, since they were all pros.
The School of Rock performance was pretty great.
I used to really like Kylie Minogue and that song was okay, but I really think men should dance like men, and the dancing on that was not entertaining for me.
I do like how this results show they have showed us a little of what each of the couples were saying right before they started to dance. That's kind of fun.  I always wonder what they are thinking behind the scenes, and that's always cool to see the confessional and see what their reaction is after they've gotten their scores and stuff, I think it is a glimpse of who they really are, even more so than when they show us what happened during rehearsals in the week before the dance.
At first when the 3 couples were standing there, in jeopardy, I was thinking it would be Kyle and Lacey going home, but then when the said Kyle and Lacey were safe it was obvious that Audrina and Tony were going home.  No way would Jennifer and Derek get voted off this soon.  Audrina couldn't really get any better.  Her performances have been pretty consistent so I guess I wasn't really surprised, although last week I didn't call this one.  So now maybe next week it will either be Kyle or Bristol that goes home.  We'll just have to see, anything could happen. Especially now that Bristol is giving it all in her performances, if she continues at the pace she has been going, she could very well end up in the finals.  Hard to say now.
