Last week, Wendy Williams was sent packing for her inability to dance. That is two weeks in a row where the correct person was sent home (in my humble opinion). This week we have a 47 piece orchestra and two famous classical musicians (or so they say…true classical music fans would probably take offense at that title), violinist David Garrett and mezzo soprano Katherine Jenkins.
Romeo and Chelsie: These two start the evening off with a paso doble. Romeo has bitchface tonight. Trying to channel his inner matador, I guess. The matadors I have seen (oh yes, I have seen some) are always more fun-loving. They are showmen! Think Liberace, but with jazzier outfits. Romeo’s paso doble is ok. He certainly has the intensity down, but he just isn’t a very compelling dancer. It ends with a lot of energy, and the crowd goes nuts for it. The judges are generally praising of his performance, but I think their scores aren’t going to be stellar. Each of the judges does mention that technique wasn’t perfect. They receive one 7 (apparently a deduction for a life) and two 8s.
Kendra Wilkinson and Louis: Kendra and Louis are doing a Viennese Waltz tonight. Kendra apparently hates both classical music and being a lady. She is really irritating. I mean, I am all for bucking female stereotypes, but she just seems to want to whine about everything she has to do. Don’t go on a dancing show if you have no interest in trying different dances. The dance is not great…Kendra keeps breaking out of her character (which is supposed to be an angry woman, I think). In addition to her distracting face, the dance is very choppy and she gets lost a few times. Bruno hated it. This is saying something; he loves everything. He thinks it was an offence against the beautiful song. Carrie Ann thinks that her not committing to being elegant really hurt the dance. Len is (surprisingly) the good cop here and tells her she is a beginner and should be given a break. The judges all agree that it was a 6-worthy performance.
