Doug Flutie was most improved on DWTS!

Hi Everyone!  Here is our review of week 2 of DWTS!  Overall, Doug Flutie showed the most improvement on the dance floor.  Paige VanZant and Wanya Morris remained strong contenders for the Mirror Ball trophy.  Mischa Barton and Geraldo Rivera were the weakest performers this week.  Everyone else falls in the middle.  Unlike most of the prior seasons of DWTS,  the MIRROR BALL is up for grabs!

Watch our review below and share your thoughts on this season’s competition.

 

 

IT’S TIME FOR DWTS!!!

Welcome back to Season 22 of Dancing with the Stars!  The dancers with season are on a level playing field, with no one in particular outshining another.  That means there is lots of room for growth!  Yay!

Last night’s episode was filled with great music and dancing.  All of the stars performed dance steps throughout their number, and were not just “posing”  through the song!

Watch our review below and let us know your thoughts on last night’s episode.  Tune in on Tuesdays to catch our review!

 

Who will win Dancing with the Stars?

Last night’s episode was very enlightening.   There were 2 dances performed by each contestant:  a judge’s pick and a freestyle.  Carlos was assigned the Foxtrot while Alek was given the Rumba.  Meanwhile, Nick was given the Jive while Bindi needed to dance the quickstep.  The judges’ pick was meant to show whether the dancer had improved in the dance style since the first time they did it.  Then all dancers had a chance to do freestyle.  Bindi’s freestyle performance stole the show!

Watch our video below and let us know how you feel about the DWTS epsiode.  We would love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Alexa’s Departure from DWTS is a Travesty!!!

Last night, the bottom two contestants on DWTS were Carlos and Alexa PenaVega.  How is that possible?  Alexa and Mark did a fabulous contemporary routine to song, Wicked Games.  Alexa had perfect scores on both numbers last night, ans strong scores for the past few weeks.  Alexa has grown tremendously both as a dancer and as a performer.  Other contestants such as Alek and Tamar have not continued to grow like Alexa.   Hopefully Alexa’s presence on DWTS has led her to other roles.  We wish her all the best.

Watch our review to see what other issues we had with last night’s episode.

Dance Off was Best Part of DWTS’ Hero Week!!!

Who watched last monday night’s Dancing with the Stars?  It was Hero week so we learned Marc Antony was Carlos’ hero, and Grace Kelly was Bindi’s.  Andy Grammar’s hero was his Mom while Nick’s was his wife.

Sharna Burgess choreographed a beautiful contemporary number.  The rest of dancing itself was rather “meh”.  However, the dance off portion was illuminating.  Seeing Bindi perform the jive side by side with Carlos allowed us viewers to see who is stronger.  Watch our video to hear our comments!!

Too much “FOG” on this week’s Halloween episode of Dancing with the Stars!

Although this week’s dances were very entertaining, it was really hard to see any of the actual dance steps because of the fog and the constant camera movement.  Mark Ballas was very creative as Edward Scissorhands, and Alexa was a fantastic partner for him.  Bindi executed the Argentine Tango with sharpness and precision like a pro.  We are sad to see Hayes Grier leave.  He was quite the entertainer and dancer for only 15 years old.  We are sure to be seeing more of him in the coming years.

Famous Dances Week was a Success on DWTS!

Last night’s Dancing with the Stars was very entertaining.  The opening number choreographed by Mandy Moore was spectacular.  She paid tribute to several famous dances, including Fred and Ginger, Chorus Line, Chicago, Singing in the Rain, and even All the Single Ladies by Beyonce.  The number would have been even more spectacular if the music could have a mash-up from the famous dances.   The stars and their partners also provided us with a huge array of dances, including, from Britney Spears’ to John Travolta in Grease to Elvis Presley.

Watch our review of the dances.  We are sorry to see Paula Deen leave but as she says, “Now she can see her grandbabies”.

Did the Switch Up on DWTS work for you?

Wow!  Overall, the switch up worked on DWTS.  The stars with their new professional dancers did a great job adjusting to a new partner.  Carlos and Alexa really stepped up their dancing.  Congratulations to Paula Deen, who learned Mark Ballas’ choreograph, showed wonderful growth in her dancing and received some 7s for her dancing.  Looks like Bindi, Alexa, Carlos, and Nick might be in the lead.

Wasn’t The Ugly Truth portion just good old fun watching them answer such personal questions.  On another note though it was disappointing that the producers needlessly embarassed Louis Van Amstel and Lindsay Arnold.
