S33.E02: Oscar Night

[dizzyd]

Meh on Jenn, but I like her enthusiasm and that she’s having fun with this.

[dancingdreamer]

Didn't bowl me over Jenn, but there was something  up with the music, that could  of been the reason.

[dizzyd]

Also the wardrobe should have been more Gatsby to go with the theme.

I agree, I thought  that's what she was going to go for.

[iMonrey]

I don't understand why they couldn't hear the music - the orchestra is right there on the stage with them. Seemed like a bad musical choice for a Tango anyway. At times it looked like he was pulling her across the floor.

Yeah, sounds like that's what tripped them up a bit. 

I do like how Sasha stuck up for Jenn with that and made a point to compliment her working through that as she did, though, that was nice. They make a good team. 

[dizzyd]

This ER segment tells me he’s one of the 2 being eliminated tonight.

Julianne's dress looks like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

I'm not a Bachelor/ette watcher so I know nothing about her but I always have to root for Sasha. I enjoyed their dance but I wasn't really watching all that critically.

How is it they can't hear the music?

[Ladybugnine]

That was slow, even for a waltz.

It is something to do with the speakers.  If you watch singers closely, most of them have what looks like a hearing aid, but is what’s called a monitor so they can hear the music properly.  

[dancingdreamer]

Eric looked nervous,  but he was very light on his feet, a little  better  than last week. 

[dizzyd]

Witney looks amazing, even better after 2 kids. Loved this one, much improvement from Danny especially with the personality and also technique. I hope they stay long just for my eye candy benefit.

Yeah, I thought this dance of Eric's was a little stronger. Slow, but I did like it. Also, I loved Britt's dress. 

Did not realize Top Gun got some Oscar recognition (I've not seen that movie). That was a fun dance, though - looked like something you'd see in a Top Gun musical, if one were to exist :p.

Danny and Witney

Nice arms Danny, he did a pretty good jive as well. I'd like to dance with him..lol

[Stats Queen]

Eric was much better.

 Danny and Whitney were really good

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I do like that song :D. 

[DEL901]

I wish they’d stop trying to convince me the criminal deserves my vote.  Not gonna happen.  

Lowest energy quick step ever.  

[dancingdreamer]

Anna is up next, she went online and didn't  like what she saw. I can't  think why.

This quickstep  isn't very good.

That's a 4 from me.

[Stats Queen]

So Dancing with the Stars is set of rehabilitate Anna’s image, I find this very annoying.

Unlike Julia Fox, I don’t think Anna was shown an public effort to seek forgiveness.

[dizzyd]

Anna was so stiff and had just 1 look plastered on her face. Was she supposed to be a DWP mannequin? If she wants a 2nd chance, she should try to win people over with her personality but I don’t see it.

At times it looked like Ezra was literally dragging her across the floor.    

[iMonrey]

Anna seems like a cold fish.

There seems to be a lack of content in Eric and Anna's dances. 

I thought Danny was miles better than last week. Nice kicks right to the beat. Last week he was kind of stiff and lacked musicality. He's not going anywhere, obviously.

[dizzyd]

That was gorgeous! Chandler makes Brandon look good.

[iMonrey]

Wow I usually don't care for the Rhumba but that was really pretty. She nailed the hip action and talk about flexibility.

[dancingdreamer]

Anna's  score was too high.

Rumba for Chandler and Brandon 

Chandler  looks beautiful,  soft with great arms and legs. She looks like she has done ballet.

[Lindsay Loo Hoo]

Anna please get off my screen.  You don’t want to be there, do everyone a favor and quit. Then someone who actually wants to have fun with this and be there will be spared. 

[Annber03]

I really like Chandler a lot. She's already finale-bound :). 

[dizzyd]

Ofc, DH is a Christmas movie! Reggie dancing to a movie he acted in. He was bad last week and he moved a bit more tonight but not sure if it’s enough. I really hope he’s not eliminated tonight. I’ll give him credit that he kept me focused on him and not Emma who I’m sure was dancing beautifully all around him.

Edited September 25 by dizzyd

[dancingdreamer]

Reginald  is up next with Emma

This isn't  an easy dance( paso)

Emma is throwing  herself  around him. I don't  think he'll  get much better. 

 

[Annber03]

Reginald's "Yippee-kai-yay, mother-" bit before his dance made me laugh XD. A little better than last week - there was a bit more movement this time, and I liked the premise for the dance :D. 

[Thalia]

I love Stephen but I don't think he looked that crisp with his steps.   He has enthusiasm and athleticism but not the skills.

Edited September 25 by Thalia

[dizzyd]

Omg, I 🩷 Stephen! He’s so adorable, charming and addictive. He better still be there finale night 

[dancingdreamer]

Go Stephen! 

Stephen and Riley dance a paso to Superman  theme.

Yes! loved his knee walks. Fun, fun, fun.

[ams1001]

Does Stephen have indestructible glasses or something? I could never throw mine like that! Or are they a dummy pair and Alphonso is holding the real ones the whole time?

[Annber03]

I thought that was great! Probably were a few things to tweak, sure, and I can agree with Bruno's critique to some extent. 

But I think he really captured the heroic vibe of the dance and the premise and I liked how he interacted with Rylee throughout. They make a great team as well. 

[Lindsay Loo Hoo]

It’s nice to see what Rylee can do when she has someone who is capable. Last year we really didn’t get to see what she is capable of. ( yes I’m still salty harry made it as far as he did) 

[dizzyd]

Holy shit, Joey’s Rumba was hawt!!!!

Edited September 25 by dizzyd

[Annber03]

Yeah, that was really nice. Some really good movements in that dance and they captured the emotion of it all so perfectly. 

[dancingdreamer]

Joey and Jenna dance a rumba

 

I love this song.

I think Joey did well, his arms were nice when he extended them. He got better as the dance went on.

[DEL901]

Wow.    Wow. Wow.  Wow.  Joey was Hot!

Under scored!

[dizzyd]

This is a really good cast barring a very small few who hopefully will be eliminated early and another reason I like the early DE tonight. Should make for a good run to the end.

[Thalia]

Phaedra looks gorgeous tonight. 

[dancingdreamer]

I'm not a huge fan of Phaedra or Val. 

Win me over guys...It was good.

[Annber03]

Just now, Thalia said:

Yeah, she does. That was a great dance. I really like how all the dances are managing to capture the vibe of the movie/song they're from. 

[LexieLily]

That was a horribly-edited version of And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going), though 😔

[DEL901]

All right Pasha.  Way to hide Tori’s feet.  

[dizzyd]

TGS is one of my favorite movies but all I could think is that TS should have taken the message of the song and not ruined her face and stayed natural. 

Edited September 25 by dizzyd

[dancingdreamer]

Tori's  face, no close ups again please.

Pasha is a sweetheart

 

That was much better Tori, well done! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really  don't  know who will go home tonight, and a  DE already.

As long as the criminal goes home, I’m not picky, but I expect it to be Reggie or Eric.
