Dancing with the Stars Season 29 Week 6: Was There Supposed to be a Theme?

For real. Was there supposed to be a theme? It seemed like people were doing dedications and then some people just told a personal story? And then we had AJ talking about how much he says “sorry”. Idk.

Anyway, Tyra is really settling into being a host. Hated her first outfit. Loved the entirety of her second look. Derek and Hayley’s dance was incredible. It definitely brought some energy to a night that was very “meh” in the first hour. And we’ll get to that asinine elimination decision at the end.

Johnny and Britt- Salsa (Score=22)- So this dance wasn’t exactly bad. But there were some issues. Johnny seemed to backslide a bit in terms of his confidence. His movements were kinda clipped and he just felt so unsure, especially during the partnering parts of the dance. He needed more hips. And I just wanted it to be more grounded than it was. I think he is going to have a very similar problem that Evan Lysacek had all the way back in season 10. His ballroom was divine. His Latin was really lacking. I hope Britt and Johnny can get his Latin figured out. They are in a season where that will be way more of a problem than it was for Evan and Anna.

Nev and Jenna- Jazz (Score=26)- This was a really strange dance. Between the music selection, the choreography and the outfits, it just did not make sense. There were moments that I thought Nev was going to take off his jacket. I’m not sure why his arms were raised like that so much. Idk. It was good. But I hated every part of it.

Monica and Val- Rumba (Score=27)- Okay what gives? Why are we scoring Monica like this? She’s not dancing anywhere good enough to justify these scores. So what is it? What is the reason for her getting 9s when she should be getting 8s and 7s. Please help me understand. The hip action was not great. Her arm extensions were odd. It was boring. I just don’t get it. What is the agenda here?

Skai and Alan- Cha-Cha (Score=18)- Whew. This was rough. Okay, let’s start with the bad. Skai was pretty stiff at the beginning of the dance and she looked so nervous. She might be a celeb that would really benefit from a live audience to help her get out of her own head. And there was that huge series of mistakes right in the middle. But Skai seriously fought through and got back on track to end it off strong. This leads me to my positives. Once she got it back, I thought the dance was stronger than the first half. It seemed like she just let loose. There was some really nice technique at the end. It was also here and there at the beginning, but it was more consistent after that moment. I’m not sure if Alan is speaking to Skai about how she feels during performance days, but I feel like they need to approach rehearsals differently. Part of it needs to be dedicated to her dancing like she’s performing on a Monday night. She has everything needed to be amazing. It is just her nerves that we need to work on and get under control.

Vernon and Peta- Cha-Cha (Score=21)- Oh boy. Okay. First of all, from a purely technical standpoint, this was the worst dance of the night. Vernon was flat footed. His legs were awful during those New Yorkers. There was so much space between them and they were just sloppy. Peta’s choreography was terrible. I just don’t understand why or how Peta got this bad as a pro? Vernon was not hopeless. So I just don’t understand why it felt like she didn’t try at all with him. I really don’t.

Nelly and Daniella- Viennese Waltz (Score=24)- So last week was not a fluke. And Nelly has truly entered the competition. This dance was so much more elegant than I was expecting. His arms in particular, were so fluid. Daniella is killing it this season as a pro. She definitely has a bright future ahead of her on this show. What she is doing with Nelly is incredible. As for the issues, Nelly just needs to work on his feet and getting his butt under/fixing his posture.

Jeannie and Brandon- Rumba (Score=25)- I’ve gotta say that this was my favorite dance of the night by far. Jeannie really takes it there and really gives it everything that she’s got. She’s hanging with the best of them because of it. I do want her to work on her arms just a bit more and also pull back on the energy just a smidge more. BUT, this was really good and I think Jeannie might be on the path to the finals.

AJ and Cheryl- Samba (Score=27)- AJ finally had his breakthrough. I was getting a little worried for a moment, but he finally stood out from the pack. He and Cheryl were in sync (sorry). His shoulders and posture are much improved. His footwork was the best that I’ve seen. He handled the dance and the choreography really well. His hips were great. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only critique is that things got a little messy from time to time with his feet. And there were a couple of times when it looked like his shoulders were caving just a little bit. That’s it.

Chrishell and Gleb- Contemporary (Score=24)- So I don’t know what happened but for some reason I completely tuned this dance out. From what I saw, it looked pretty good. That’s it. And I don’t really want to go back and watch it.

Kaitlyn and Artem- Samba (Score=27)- So technically, this dance was pretty much perfect. I can’t say much about it as far as that goes. But like I have said with Kaitlyn so many times, she danced it way too pretty. And like CAI, I was not impressed. It was good. That is it. She needs more than to just attack the dance though. She needs to dance with some soul. Get down and dirty. Dance through the floor. Get grounded. Make it more earthy. Whatever you wanna say, she needs to do.

Justina and Sasha- Viennese Waltz (Score=27)- I thought this was a really pretty dance. I hated the dress though. And I didn’t care for the choreography. But it was Justina’s best dance so far, from a technical standpoint. I also feel like she is also on the path to the finals.

Now here is where I’m gonna start to go in. Our bottom 2 celebs were Johnny and Vernon. It was shocking to see Johnny down there. TELL ME WHY CAI DECIDED THAT SHE WAS GOING TO SAVE VERNON OVER JOHNNY??????????? Even with Johnny’s tumble down the leaderboard this week, he was leaps and bounds better than Vernon. WTF. This judges’ save has made the show almost unbearable to watch. Those judges have been saving the wrong people since it started last season. Saving Ray Lewis over Miss Mary (the much better dancer). Saving Ally over James van der Beek after her THIRD appearance in the bottom. Sis was not going to win. Saving Carole over Charles. And now CAI ready to throw Johnny away for a celeb that is not living up to his potential because his pro is not trying. WTF. Nah, they can’t even get it right. How dare they chastise us for years, when they have been fucking up since they got more say in who goes home. The audacity of those fools. And listen. The fact that Monica has not landed back in the bottom because of how high she has been overscored is pissing me off. STOP THIS. THIS IS WHY THE SHOW LOSES VIEWERS!

Anyway, I said what I needed to say. Let me know your thoughts and I will talk to you all soon.

DWTS Season 29 Week 1

OK so despite everything that happened with the show’s production, I’m watching this show, because dance still takes my mind off the various stresses in life. Obviously I hate how Tom and Erin were forced off the show, but I won’t begrudge Tyra of that. I think she’s a decent host. Next, I was pleasantly surprised to see Derek Hough back as a judge. I knew Len was stuck in England and couldn’t return to do the show, and there were rumours Derek would replace him but I didn’t think they were true. Scores are CAI-Derek-Bruno.

I honestly wasn’t expecting there to even be a DWTS season given the pandemic. I’m not entirely convinced it’s a good idea to have one. They have social distancing measures in place but ehhhhh idk. But again I’m glad to have something to distract me from other shit.

Opening was decent enough considering they were clearly avoiding group rehearsals and filming. Interesting that apparently Ray Leeper choreographed it because I only know him as a jazz choreographer.

AJ McLean and Cheryl Burke - Jive I didn’t recognise bald AJ at first. I thought he was a soccer player. Based on this one dance, he has a lot to work on technique-wise. But with Cheryl as a partner he could be a dark horse. Song was not good for jive though. 6-6-6 T18

Chrishell Stause and Gleb Shevchenko - Tango I find Selling Sunset cringe as a show but have nothing personal against Chrishell. She looked very wobbly on her feet. Like a baby deer taking its first steps. I think she has potential, but don’t know if Gleb is the pro do help her reach that. Height and looks wise I see why they were put together. I just don’t trust Gleb as a pro. Wow those scores were harsh. I wasn’t expecting that. 4-5-4 T13

Vernon Davis and Peta Murgatroyd - Foxtrot Man has footwork, I’ll give him that. I’m talking about his touchdown dance, that is. But his foxtrot was nothing to sniff at either. A lot of the issues I saw were pretty commonplace for athletic men getting foxtrot early on, like smoothing out his extensions and getting more glidey steps. Thought he deserved maybe 1 more point. 5-6-6 T17

Anne Heche and Keo Motsepe - Cha cha cha OMG I love her sass. Similar problem to Chrishell in that her steps didn’t always look secure, though cha cha is more forgiving a dance than tango. 6-6-6 T18

Jeannie Mai and Brandon Armstrong - Salsa She has potential if she can control her energy. I hope Brandon gets a good run with her because I think they could be another potent pair. 6-6-6 T18

Jesse Metcalfe and Sharna Burgess - Quickstep Props to him for tackling the quickstep right out the gate. If you wanna be sexy, that is not the pattern to wear. Also, quickstep isn’t a dance you smoulder in. He looked kinda intense and maybe not enjoying himself as much as he could have. He could be decent, though. And welcome back Sharna! 6-6-6 T18

Skai Jackson and Alan Bersten - Tango I’ve never seen any of her shows but she seems like such a nice girl. Carries herself really well. Looks like she and Alan get along well too. Tango could have used more travelling and she looked a bit tense at times. But she can become good. Weird music for the dance style. 7-7-7 T21

Kaitlyn Bristowe and Artem Chigvintsev - Cha cha cha One of the strongest dances at this point of the night. She looked the least Bambi-like and had good turn out but it was not consistent. Like Derek said, she felt a bit “safe”. Welcome back, Artem! 6-7-7 T20

Nev Schulman and Jenna Johnson - Foxtrot Haha he’s so adorkable. Also random, but I know Catfish as ‘the show that was on before Teen Wolf’. He has lots of potential and could also become a fan favourite with his affable personality. His dance felt oddly short compared to the others though? Oh and I dunno if it’s Jenna’s hair or how she did her makeup this week but she looks so pretty like this. 7-7-6 T20

Johnny Weir and Britt Stewart - Cha cha cha Bit like Skai, felt a bit tense at times in the dance. Some actions were a bit hard-hitting. Those eyes are crying out for some matching purple eyeshadow. Nice to see Britt being a pro. 6-6-6 T18

Justina Machado and Sasha Farber - Cha cha cha Best cha cha yet. She was nicely grounded but still energetic. Hit some good lines too. I can picture her being good at ballroom styles as well so she’s one to watch. 7-7-7 T21

Charles Oakley and Emma Slater - Salsa Emma said he has a natural rhythm in training so I wonder if he got into his head in the performance because I wasn’t seeing that. Other problems - flat footedness and lack of hip action we’ve seen before in tall athletes. 4-4-4 T12

Monica Aldama and Val Chmerkovskiy - Foxtrot She has a natural grace. I think she didn’t get into hold quite right initially so they looked a bit awkward for a while. Also I wonder when CAI will realise that no one cares about her lifting rules anymore. They all stopped caring over ten seasons ago. Thought her score would be a little higher. 6-7-6 T19

Nelly and Daniella Karagach - Salsa Nelly seems like such a fun, chill guy to hang out with. I feel like he was thinking quite hard about the dance and not fully immersing himself in it. He looked kinda reserved and trepid. He got all the steps though. Bruno was a little generous there though. Congrats to Daniella for her first dance as a pro partner! 5-5-6 T16

Carole Baskin and Pasha Pashkov - Paso Doble Throwing someone a paso on week 1? But the song works I guess. I feel like we’ve seen that cage like 5 times. Clearly this dance was just playing up to the whole tiger thing rather than actually trying to be a paso. 4-4-3 T11

Ok well. This show wasn’t bad. I miss Tom and Erin but I can get on board with Tyra. There aren’t any standout frontrunners yet, but a few low-hanging fruit. I think we’ll have a better picture once everyone has done one ballroom and one latin style.
