A nite of Latin dances for the stars

Last nite’s stars danced to Latin rhythms. Now we are seeing who are serious and who probably won’t make the cut down the road. The Rhumba and Paso Dobla are slow, powerful and sexy dances and quite frankly some of the stars just didn’t cut it.

Surprisingly the one star who I thought did a pretty good job was Cloris Leachman. For a woman her age she did just fine. Unfortunately most of the dance she was on the dance floor – literally – but when she was up and dancing she captured the idea of the Paso Dobla. Good job Cloris. I would vote to keep you on one more week.

The younger dancers just seemed to be too stiff and not into any of the latin dances except Brooke Burke – she got a 24 and looked really great – and Warren Sapp – how does that man move so easily? A real contender on my part.

Susan Lucci is still dancing like she is dancing on egg shells. Lighten up and loosen up Susan otherwise your time is growing short.

Misty May Treanor did an awesome, powerful Paso Dobla. She really scares me on how she attacks every dance. To win this she needs to back off on her aggressiveness and show a softer side of herself.

Kim Kardashian was too stiff for the Rhumba and looked as though she hated every moment of the dance. She may be in trouble this week and may have danced her last dance.

Maurice Green may be the fastest man but he certainly does lack finesse and looked too stiff dancing the Rhumba.

But the one star that I really think should be leaving is Rocco DiSpirito, the chef. He did not cook up anything good for his Rhumba. I was shocked to see Len give him a good score. Len must have been feeling generous last nite.

As for the “kids” dancing – Cody Linley and Julia Anne – their Rhumba was fine. But to win this they have to be much better than fine.

Lance Bass and his partner need to have a better mind set. They want to do the proper dances but want to still show their individualism in their dances. That may be all fine and good, but hey, I’m a veteran of seven seasons watching Dancing with the Stars and I can tell you, doing your own thing and being who you are won’t cut it in ballroom dancing. So get over it and get with the program.

So there you have it. Who will leave tonite? I predict Rocco will be back in the kitchen and off the dance floor.

Until later,

Linda
