Episode Report Card Angel Cohn: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Soft Rock
By Angel Cohn | Season 14 | Episode 6 | Aired on 04.09.2012
Well, I wish I wasn't, because Sherri starts by throwing herself seductively all over the judges table. Then she moves awkwardly in an attempt to seem intense along the dance floor, and then does some gyrations that are a little upsetting.
Len says that she had a few moments of fumbled footwork, but she did a great job with a song that didn't suit her personality. Bruno liked the lap dance she gave the judges at the beginning and asks the age old question: "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?" He likes her nasty though he readily admits it could have been sharper. Carrie Ann says that she danced without expression and that it lacked passion. Sherri seems surprised, but Carrie Ann's not wrong. Some fan on Twitter likes all the guyliner and wishes it was rock week every week. I'd like to find them and slap them in the face. Hard. Time for the judges scores: Carrie Ann 7, Len 7, Bruno 7. For a fairly judged 21.
Katherine and Mark are doing the paso doble. They are trying to turn Katherine into the Welsh Warrior by taking her to a Muay Thai-style boxing ring. She giggles while punching a boxing dummy. And no, sadly she's not punching Mark. The dance floor is set up with fencing blocking off the stairs, and more pyrotechnics. They actually look great. Everything is sharp and aggressive, but it's just not special. Still, she's not giggling at all, looks appropriately fierce and fake punches Mark at the end. I'd really have given her extra points if she'd have slipped... just a little bit.
Bruno says that she had the fury, but that she didn't finish her lines and it wasn't as clean as it should have been. So many boos. Carrie Ann says she wasn't on her feet and she seemed uncertain. Len said it had promise but didn't deliver, but he appreciated her attack. All the judges reiterate that she's an amazing dancer, because they really don't want her going home. Brooke's hair is enormous as she asks an out-of-breath Katherine what she her proper friends would think of the cage fighting. Gee, they'll be shocked. I'm so sure that I learned something here. Thanks for wasting more of my time, Brooke. Judges: Carrie Ann 8, Len 8, Bruno 8.
As we head off to commercials, we have to watch the upcoming couples banter and Kym and Jaleel try and look all light and playful (despite the backstage reports), but when I freeze my TV to write something, she's got her fierce face on and she's not smizing.
Tom reminds us that Jaleel cried over his own performance a lot last week because being Urkel just moved him so much. They are doing a Mick Jagger song, and he cops to not knowing much about the Rolling Stones. So she teaches him some basic moves and he walks around like a ridiculous looking chicken and purses his lips. So far, he does not have the moves like Jagger. Or even Krusty the Clown. In rehearsal it looks like they are working on a death drop of sorts, where he's the one taking the fall, but it doesn't seem to go that well. Still, he falls a lot, so at least that's not crying.
