Episode Report Card Kim: B | 106 USERS: C YOU GRADE IT And Then There's Woz

Interesting that they put Ty in the final spot, since that's typically reserved for someone that they think is going to impress us. It's not called the pimp spot for nothing. I would have expected Gilles or Melissa to be here. Anyway, last week, Ty showed that he might stay more than a week or two with his quickstep. In rehearsal, they work on the foxtrot. Ty jokes that he's not a good enough actor to remember all the steps and also play a character, which is what Chelsie wants. They start their routine with Ty in a top hat walking down the steps, and he does well, but when they move into hold, he looks absolutely terrified. As they're doing some footwork, Chelsie slips a bit, but recovers quickly. They continue the routine fairly well, but Ty stumbles a bit near the end again. I think those two glitches mess with his confidence, because he stiffens up again.
Carrie Ann thinks Ty is the most improved, and she admires the way he handled Chelsie's slip. Len thinks it was stiff and lacked musicality, and Carrie Ann totally interrupts him. He dismisses her and says that he thought the whole thing was fantastic. Bruno thinks Ty looked like "a mini Fred Astaire," and they handled the glitches well. The way they're heaping on praise, I wonder if we're watching the same routines. I mean, it was passable, but it wasn't great, even without the glitches. Backstage, everyone gives them a standing ovation. Ty jokes that he was the one that was supposed to fall, and they didn't practice that! Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 8 and Bruno 7. Chelsie thinks that's great, especially since she practically fell down.
