Half way through Dancing with the Stars
We are half way through the season of Dancing with the Stars and it was filled with different types of ball room dancing. From the West Coast Swing, frankly I’ve never seen this type of dance before, the Hustle, we all remember this one from the ’70s, Salsa, hot and spicy dancing, to the Jitter Bug.
Now the Jitter Bug I do remember watching on American Bandstand. Yes, I’m dating myself but I do remember watching those teenagers dancing the Jitter Bug and I really enjoyed it. I think the only couple that came close to the real Jitter Bug was Brooke Burk and Derek. Heck Derek had to do Internet research on the dance steps. He did really good with the dance. Took me back to my younger days. Brooke got two 10’s and one 9 for a total of 29 points. Great job!
Cody Linley’s Jitter Bug was too campy for me but Carrie Anne did give him a 10 for the dance routine.
Cloris Leachman and Maurice Green danced the Salsa. Maurice did a great job and received all 9’s for a score of 27. Cloris did okay for her age and the judges were kind to give her 21 points.
Warren Sapp and Susan Lucci danced the Hustle. Susan’s Hustle was too “uptown” for me, but with a fractured foot she did all right. Warren’s Hustle was awesome for a big guy and totally funky!
The West Coast Swing seemed to give Lance Bass and Toni Braxton a lot of problems. Lance’s dance partner Lacey is the World Champion of the West Coast Swing and Len took her to task by saying that she needs to show off Lance’s dancing ability instead of hers. They received a 21. Toni’s dance routine was so so and the judges gave her 22 points.
So there you have it. Top scores to Brooke Burk and bottom scores to Cloris and Lance. Everyone else is packed in the middle.
Who’s going home tonit? I think it’s a toss up between Toni Braxton and once again Cloris Leachman. But I do have to say, Cloris is giving it her all and maybe the fans will keep her one more week.
Until later,
Linda
