Episode Recap
Tango! Tango!
Tango! And the jive! Without a doubt,
Jennie Garth was my pick of the tango dances! You could see the fire and anger in her face, which is what the tango is all about! I was glad to see her strike back after her slip last week! She didn't score the highest, but I think her improvement was the most notable. Way to go, Jennie!
Jane Seymour also had a great tango. Loved the wig! Very Bond girl! The death of her mother may have her down, but she is not out. She'll be in the competition for the long haul! Did anyone else think
Carrie Ann poured the cheese on a little too thick? It was nice that she was moved by Jane's dance, but I couldn't help but wonder if she was going to break out and cry!
So who had a bad tango?
Cameron Mathison did! It was not his technique, but I thought they spoofed the tango. How dare they mock the mother of all ballroom dances!? They took the passion out of it and made it quirky, which I did not care for at all. The technique was there, but they didn't do the tango justice! Edyta, you're better than that!
Now, I promised a few blogs back not to cut up on
Wayne Newton anymore, and I am a woman of my word. So I will simply say that I enjoyed the ponytail and mustache but I think his seventy five Arabian horses at La Rancha de Blah Blah miss him and he should spend some more time there...now!
Marie Osmond surprised me again. She accomplished what I think Edyta and Cameron tried to do, and lightened up the tango - but not too much. She kept the fire and form! I agreed with
Len Goodman 100% when he said he did not think she would be any good in this competition. We were wrong. She has been at the top every week and she could only get better from here!
Sabrina Bryan and
Mel B had the top jives of the night. This was not a surprise but nonetheless I enjoyed their dances and was glad to see the energy. Mel B's split made me cross my legs - she gave birth not so long ago! Yeow! Good for you, Mel!
My
Helio only scores a 24! Seriously, I adore him so much I might have to start watching his races and I really
hate race car driving! I worry he is running out of steam! He's doing so well that he's not going to improve as fast as some of the other dancers. I hope the voters don't give up on him! He can push it to the next level. I know it!
Sadly, my lame duck award of the night goes to
Mark Cuban. He has the drive but not the goods! I'm sure it was a tough dance for him, with the bum hip and all, but I still don't see him lasting much longer. But if he goes before Wayne I'll be upset!
Jennie Garth was not the only one to improve tonight.
Floyd Mayweather had a great jive! He still looked a bit tense to me. Did he not let go? Was he nervous? I couldn't put my finger on it. But I thought this dance was a step up from his previous two dances. If you pair Mark Cuban's tenacity with Floyd's natural skill, you'd have one tough competitor! Keep it up, Floyd!
So that's the scoop on week three. What did you think about the performances? Who are you voting for? Will the results shock us again like last week? Tune in next time and we'll cheer or cry foul together!
