Yes, I finally got to the results!
Posted: Friday, November 07, 2008 by Travis Cody inCue that theme music and let's check out this dancing thing again!
After the historic election of Barack Obama as President of the United States on Tuesday and Blog Blast for Peace on Thursday, we now return to the frivolous pursuit of Dancing!
Please scroll down for the Peace Post.
And now let's have the results from Monday!
It's live from Hollywood!
We loved the Rumba from Lance and Lacey. There were technique issues, like toes that weren't properly pointed and not enough hip action from Lance. But the choreography was wonderful, the dance was well made, and we enjoyed the performance.
Brooke and Derek came back strong, and scored the dance of the night with this Foxtrot.
The judges select Team Paso Doble as the encore. A good choice. That was the better of the two dances.
That team dancing really mucked around with the leader board. Some of the individual dances that did not measure up were cancelled out by the team score.
But, that's the rules. So here's our leader board after Monday.
59 Brooke and Derek
54 Maurice and Cheryl
50 Warren and Kym
45 Lance and Lacey
44 Susan and Tony
42 Cody and Edyta (for Julianne)
Lionel Ritchie is in the ballroom! He performs Good Morning, accompanied by Alec and Edyta with a very sexy and sultry Rumba. Very nice.
Results! Maurice and Cheryl are safe.
GAH! I really dislike the Dance Center feature with Kenny Mayne.
Macy's Stars of Dance is up with an amazing hip hop choreographed by Dave Scott. Dance is at it's most effective when it has character and story coupled with precision and joy and excitement. And it doesn't matter what style it comes it when it has all those things. We LOVED that performance!
More business...Brooke and Derek will be back next week, as will Warren and Kim.
So Team Paso Doble has made it through, and Team Cha Cha Cha is in danger.
Lionel Ritchie returns to perform Dancing on the Ceiling accompanied by Cheryl, Kym, Tony, and Maks. It's Samba of course! The party dance for a party song! Very cool!
Here we go...three couples still standing and one pair must go home.
Lance and Lacey are safe. Cody and Edyta (dancing for Julianne) are safe.
That means Susan and Tony are out.
Tune in next week to see the performances that get us to our Final Four couples.
Dona Nobis Pacem.
I thought susan would have the fan base to get to the final four...
