Kinda shooting their wad early, aren't they?
I'm not sure I'd bill the 3rd week of competition (out of about 10 more to go) the sexiest it's gonna get. But hey, they've been doing this a while, maybe they know something I don't?
So yes, it was Latin Week at Dancing with the Stars, and couples were going to have to tackle the the romantic, sensual Rumba or the sexy, sizzling Samba. Whether they have to get their hips moving slow and sensual or fast and furious, it tends to be tough for the celebs, particularly the guys. But they made valiant efforts!
1. Mark and Lacey kicked off with a Rumba.
My first reaction was that he didn't do much. She danced around him (which is fairly typical of what the male celebs get to get away with). but I must confess: I was so transfixed by Lacey's ugly ugly shoes to notice much about the dance. They were seriously unflattering to her legs, I'll just say that. It was so transfixing that we went and watched the dance over again, and that's when we actually saw that he was doing some moves, but they were a little too sharp and too hard for the Rumba. Bottom line: I think he'll be safe, but it wasn't a great week for him.
2. Joanna and Derek danced the Samba.
This was a hard routine, so when she carried it off...particularly with sharp arms and good hip action...it was impressive. However, her weakness is, well, her weakness. Her last pose was terrible, and at other times it was clear she was losing her stamina. Bottom line: She's generally really good, so I don't think she's at risk...but pretty models tend to go early, so she'll need to step it up.
3. Mya and Dmitry danced the Rumba.
Well, as I said when this wrapped up: Can't argue with that. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Mya is a ringer. Seriously, three weeks in, only a ringer could exhibit such flexibility and musicality and aptitude for tough choreography. Bottom line: She's safe.
4. Melissa and Mark danced the Samba.
She made a good effort, but much of the time she seemed stilted and wore the furrowed brow of concern. Bottom line: I fear she's at risk with this performance.
5. Louie and Chelsie danced the Rumba.
OK, I guess they're a cute little couple. And he does remind me of the Breckin Meyer character in Clueless. But I thought this was a bit overrated. Chelsie was amazing...she always has the best legs/hips, but that mean t she overshadowed him a bit too much. Also, the choreography was a bit frantic for my taste. (I know, I sound like Len.) Bottom line: They do have chemistry, and I do think they're safe.
6. Debi and Maks danced the Samba
Game over. She looked really confused and concerned the entire time. I don't think she did enough to escape being in the Bottom Two again. Bottom Line: Further, I think time might be up for Debi! Sure, there are a couple of couples who deserve to go home more, but I don't think she's pulling in the votes.
