Episode Report Card Kim: A- | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Season 5 Performance #8
By Kim | Season 5 | Episode 16 | Aired on November 11, 2007
Helio and Julianne Take Two: The quickstep. I can't believe they waited this long to do this dance. It's perfect for Helio's bouncy nature. There's lots of spinning and jumping in the air and dropping on the ground. Amazing. They get a standing ovation, totally deserved. That was the routine that delivers on the promise from Helio's early routines. That was reminiscent of Apolo.
The Judges: Carrie Ann loved the intricacy. Len calls Helio a dancing banana, and compliments the band, and says the routine was fantastic. Bruno thought it was explosive. Scores: Carrie Ann 10, Len 10, and Bruno 10. Their total score is 57 out of 60. Julianne and Helio are ecstatic.
Mel and Maks Take Two: The mambo. I have to say, these two have great comic timing. I know Maks has never been my favorite, but dancing with Mel, he seems delightful.
The Judges: Len was hypnotized by Mel's hips, and compliments the choreography. Bruno thought Mel acted like the rhythm was running through her. Carrie Ann loves that Maks really looks like he's having a good time, which is kind of what I said! Mel makes me like Maks better! Backstage, there's a really goofy bit where Samantha tries to do a British accent. Scores: Carrie Ann 9, Len 10, and Bruno 10. Their total is 56 out of 60.
The Leaderboard:
Helio and Julianne 57
Mel and Maks: 56
Cameron and Edyta: 51
Jennie and Derek: 50
Marie and Jonathan: 49
Who's going home this week? I think lackluster performances will send Jennie home, though it should be Marie. She'll go next week.
