Top 10 Dances of the First Five Seasons
So special they deserved their own post! Here are the judges' picks for the most amazing dances of the series:
Top 10 Dances of the DWTS series
10. Kelly Monaco's freestyle from week 6 of season 1
9. Sabrina Bryan's paso doble from week 4 of season 5 (right before she got axed)
8. Emmitt Smith's cha-cha from week 9 of season 3
7. Apolo Anton Ohno's quickstep from week 9 of season 4
6. Joey Fatone's jive from week 7 of season 4
5. Helio Castroneves' quickstep from week 8 of season 5 (should have been #1)
4. Drew Lachey's freestyle from week 8 of season 2
3. Stacy Keibler's samba from week 8 of season 2
2. Mel B's paso doble from week 7 of season 5
1. Mario Lopez's tango from week 9 of season 3
Recap: Can you say scripted? I'm going to cut the judges some slack since they don't usually read off cue cards, but it could have been a little less obvious. Putting Helio's quickstep at #5 was a grave disservice to the show and just plain ridiculous. Nothing can match it and I doubt anything ever will. I may have let it slide if it was at least in the top 3 over Stacy's samba. However, I must admit the top two were awesome dances as well and deserved their recognition. I could have done without Kelly's freestyle. I think this was just a nod to the first winner, but I noticed quite a few mistakes in it. It would not have gotten a perfect score today. This show has come a long way!
What do you think of this list? Did Len, Bruno and Carrie Ann get it right? Did they even pick these? Tell me your favorite dances and moments from the first 5 seasons below.
