Episode Report Card 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Season 4 Performance #8
By Kim | Season 4 | Episode 14 | Aired on May 6, 2007
Judging time: Carrie Ann thinks Ian was faking the passion a bit too much. I think she just said he was gay. Or that he doesn't find Cheryl attractive, at least. Len says that Ian is not natural enough, and seems to be concentrating too much on the steps still. Bruno liked it a lot, and thinks Ian is having a comeback. The scores come back 8, 8, and 9, for a total of 25 on this dance and an overall total of 47 out of 60. I have not voted this season, and I thought about voting for Ian, but I'm down on him a bit now. I like him as a person, but this wasn't his best week.
Joey and Kym are back to dance the mambo. Kym looks like Mambo Barbie for this one. I don't know who dresses her, but it's bad. I also don't really understand what makes this a mambo. They do a lot of spinning that looks impressive and complicated, and the audience digs it the most.
Len notes that they danced on the second beat, which is difficult, but he wonders why they spend so much time between each other's legs. Bruno says that they pimped the mambo. Carrie Ann thinks the competition might be in the bag for them. I do wonder if people might not vote for them because (a) Joey can be smarmy, or (b) they make it look easy. Backstage, Samantha wonders Kym and Joey can keep stepping it up week after week, and Joey gives props to professional dancers who do this all the time. The scores are in: 10, 9, and 10 for a total of 29 for this round. Their overall score is 55 out of 60.
Billy Ray and Karina are dancing the mambo now. Billy Ray still doesn't have the hang of staying on his toes at all; he's dancing like Master P. Karina is spinning all over the place trying to draw your eye away from how bad he is. Even my husband glances up and goes, "Ugh. It's bad." Billy Ray gets to shake Muhammad Ali's hand.
Judging time. Bruno thinks Billy Ray is "a wild beast that cannot be tamed," which is good and bad. Carrie Ann thinks Billy Ray might encourage others to try dancing, and claims that's a compliment. Len tries to say kindly that their other dance was good, but that this one was just weird. Seriously. If Billy Ray doesn't go home, I don't know what. I will feel really badly for whoever goes home before him. Backstage, Billy Ray is still harping on how rude the judges were earlier. Karina thinks it wasn't very constructive. Samantha has to rip the microphone away from Billy Ray, and it's starting to get a little scary back there. I don't think Billy Ray understands what the word "judge" means. Anyway, the scores are in, and Kym and Billy Ray get a 6, 7, and 7 for a total of 20. Really? Bruno gave them a higher score for this dance than the first one? Their overall total is 38 out of 60.
