S33.E04: Hair Metal Night

[dizzyd]

I counted about 30 steps for Eric, more than Reg, but I think it’s time for both of them. 

[Stats Queen]

I have a soft spot for Eric, but last night was better, but might be time to bid him farewell.

[Ladybugnine]

Well, I think I can guess which two couples are going home tonight.

[Desperado]

Eric’s dance yesterday was lovely but this was painful in too many ways.

[dizzyd]

Did Juliane have to bring up nothing again? There was no comparison. 

[dancingdreamer]

 

Britt and Eric dance a Paso.

 

I love Eric, he danced like he was also hurting,  time to go perhaps? 

CA, blah blah blah.

That was looney tunes. Heart or not this was not entertaining 

Painful. I never knew about Eric's long-ago accident, but it really messed him up. It's excruciating to watch.

Reginald and Eric need to be put out of their, and our, misery. Please.

[MsNewsradio]

If I live the rest of my life never hearing Gene Simmons utter the word “gyrations” again, I’ll be happy.

 

*shudder*

[dizzyd]

I adore Alan.♥️ The gym segment was cute and so was the jive despite the hiccup.

[Andiethewestie]

This was pretty bad wow -she went off time so many times and it was so slowwwwwew

 

Oh fuck tears will get her votes but wow it's just a popularity contest

[ams1001]

Aw, I want to give Ilona a hug.

[Jaundiced Eye]

There's no crying on the dance floor, Ilona. Geez.

[ams1001]

I really don't think Gene Simmons adds anything to this show.

[Annber03]

Aw, Ilona. I get it, I'd feel the same way if I were her. 

[dancingdreamer]

Ilona and Alan dance a jive

She was beautiful last night.

She practices and it shows, she's doing  a great job! 

[Andiethewestie]

Stop with the stupid tik toks and learn technique so it's muscle memory 

[Desperado]

Love Ilona and it was the first time she seemed to really get into the dance, that’s too bad.

At least Simmons didn’t say anything gross to her. 

[Stats Queen]

How did Ilona get 6s compared to other high scores?

[dancingdreamer]

I hate to see Ilona cry, she needs to let it out. It's a lot of pressure. I always  vote for her, tears or no tears.

[ams1001]

No complaints about shirtless Sasha...

[dizzyd]

Jenn was off and unsure, that could have been epic.

[Annber03]

Ooh, I liked that dance from Sasha and Jenn. It fit well with the song, kinda looked like a scene out of some cheesy '80s post-apocalyptic movie or something :p. 

Also, Sasha shirtless :D. 

(Again, though, "The Final Countdown" is not a hair metal song.)

[Andiethewestie]

Jenn needs to close her feet and almost fell on the knee walks Gene had the more accurate score

Edited October 9 by Andiethewestie

[dancingdreamer]

Jenn and Sasha dance a paso

Yes Jenn, she did well. The knee walks, her arms were strong.

[Desperado]

Sasha’s face was too white for his bronzed torso and this dance was meh. Sorry, not sorry.

[Riplet68]

Agree, “walk this way” is not hair band, but final countdown totally is. Jen’s scores last night should have been higher, tonight, almost lower if  it wasn’t for those knee walks.   

[Andiethewestie]

Well she did okay but that choreo sucked Val

Edited October 9 by Andiethewestie

[Stats Queen]

Phaedra up is not very good, Val doing most of the dancing (full disclosure , I don't like Phaedra personally)

[Lindsay Loo Hoo]

I’ll say it again, Val is phoning it in this season bad. This comes from someone who loves Val. 

[Annber03]

Derek echoing my thoughts - Phaedra is totally channeling '80s Thunderdome Tina Turner with that look :D. 

[iMonrey]

That suffered after all the other Pasos. She just didn't do very much.

I agree with Gene's score.

I think he knows he has no chance with Phadra.

[dizzyd]

Really could have done without GS tonight. Just don’t include his scores.

[dancingdreamer]

Phaedra and Val- Paso

That was a bit better than last night, where they scored her too high. She doesn't move enough, Val covered  for her

Val needs to be replaced by someone who gives a shit

He gives a shit when he's got a real contender on his hands. Otherwise? Not so much.

[Lindsay Loo Hoo]

When Val first started he was my fave, it’s like night and day. He’s totally disinterested now and it’s not fair to his partner. It’s clear as day he’s not there mentally anymore. If he isn’t wanting to be there then give the spot to someone who does. The one suffering here is Phaedra 

[Andiethewestie]

Change the fucking song that is just ridiculous. A damn drummer can find the beats 

Stop hopping in Tango! 

Edited October 9 by Andiethewestie

[iMonrey]

Yeah that's an unfortunate song, and it doesn't suit the Tango very well either.

[Ladybugnine]

That was good.

[Annber03]

Ooh, I liked that dance from Joey. That was good. 

[Andiethewestie]

I can't with these judges. Talk about fixin the leader board

I've never been a Gene Simmons fan, and he's not changing my mind: skeevy, dopey and a waste of oxygen.

100% agree - he was grossly mean to Terry Gross a few years back. I won’t forget it.

[Stats Queen]

Joey, that tango was great.

[iMonrey]

Five Pasos, two Cha-Chas, two Jives, one Foxtrot, one Tango.

I don't get it.

[dancingdreamer]

Joey and Jenna - tango ( love this couple) 

I love Joey, I can't  take my eyes off him, when he's on the dance floor. I think  he could  win this.

[Andiethewestie]

I guess technique doesn't matter anymore.

I totally agree, just the song didn't work.

I liked it back in the day when half did one dance and half did the other.

I’ve watched this show since season 1. How much they’ve become lenient in allowing dances to become fusions and allowing letting them modernize proper ballroom and Latin dances is astounding. No one critiques the technique anymore, no one mentions the lack of proper ballroom and Latin dances. For instance, when you have a foxtrot but you add hip hop moves and backflips into it…. Len Goodman would have been appalled at what this has become. 

[iMonrey]

They had me worried for a second there.
