Encores and results
Posted: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 by Travis Cody in
Live from Hollywood! Cue that theme music y'all and let's see what our votes have wrought!
We revisit the Rumba from Toni and Alec. We liked it last night, but didn't love it.
Same with the Paso Doble from Brooke and Derek. Liked it, just didn't love it.
Our favorite dance on Monday was the Paso Doble from Warren and Kym. We thought the promenade was so smoothe. There was a bit of a bobble at the end, but we don't think it diminished the performance at all.
Let's check in on Monday's leader board, shall we?
24 Warren and Kym
24 Brooke and Derek
23 Tony and Alec
21 Susan and Tony
21 Cody and Julianne
21 Misty and Maks
20 Lance and Lacey
19 Maurice and Cheryl
17 Kim and Mark
16 Rocco and Karina
15 Cloris and Corky
Oh hey! Here are the pros in their introductory dance from last week.
The judges select the Paso Doble from Warren and Kym as their unanimous encore choice. Excellent!
Let's get to the first results now. First to be safe are Toni & Alec and Rocco & Karina. GAH! Pam just sqeeeeed! I think that's the first time I've ever heard that sound come out of my Lady! Well...somebody has a seekrit favorite celebrity dancer that isn't so seekrit anymore. HA!
Jessica Simpson is in the ballroom, performing Come On Over accompanied by Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis. It's PASHA and ANYA from So You Think You Can Dance! Wooooooooooooo!!
Who else is dancing next week? It's Cody & Julianne, joined by Brooke & Derek.
And now we confirm that Len and Bruno are commuting back and forth to London to film two episodes of the British show Strictly Come Dancing, followed by the two episodes of DWTS in Hollywood. So what do you think gang? Do we cut Mr Cranky Pants some slack and chalk it up to jet lag?
NAH! Lighten up Len!
The Macy's Stars of Dance performance is up next, featuring Jenna Dewan from "Step Up" and Carmit Bachar from The Pussycat Dolls. The dance is choreographed by Brian Friedman, yet another cross over talent from SYTYCD. Outstanding!
Jessica Simpson returns to perform Angels, accompanied by Cheryl and Maks. The Rumba was spectacular.
More results now...Susan & Tony move on to next week, as will Warren & Kym and Maurice & Cheryl.
And now who will dance next week from the last four couples remaining? Lance & Lacey make it. So do Misty & Maks. And the final couple is Cloris & Corky.
And that means Kim and Mark are out.
Well, welcome to October. Today is the first day that I have access to Part 2 of my certificate program. I'm also ramping up to a busy time at work. So I might be a bit scarce from time to time over the next month.
Don't worry though. There will still be plenty of sports balanced by fluffy dancing posts and Manic Monday. Plus, my second bloggiversary is coming up at the end of the month. There might be CAKE. There could be flaming walnuts. There could even be some confetti. Who knows?
And there's the upcoming preparation for my nutty National Novel Writing Month task. In honor of NaNo, I have counted the words in this post. There are 600. That's not good, because it took me nearly 2 1/2 hours to get to that many words. Yikes!
So enjoy the rest of your week and I'll see you when I see you!
Excellent run down on the episode, thank you! I can only watch it online so for me, the results shows are the most tedious and sometimes I just can't get to them.
I have to echo complaints I have been hearing about the music. I personally thought the Paso Brooke and Derek pulled off was pretty excellent given the music they had to work with!
BUT, by far my favorite dance of Monday night was Warren and Kym. That guy just lights up the room, doesn't he? I LOVE him! :)
And I won't lie, I am not disappointed to see Kim go.
Thanks again!
