Episode Report Card Kim: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Nothing But a Good Time (Most of the Time)

Steve Wozniak, founder of Apple, is up next. Does anyone else feel like Woz has a bit of the Aspie tendency? I'm just basing that on his times on Kathy Griffin's show, and his lack of social skills, and probably a lot of stereotypes, so I'll shut up now. Anyway, Karina claims she can bring the sexy side out in anyone, and if she can make me find Woz sexy, I will eat my hat. Steve tells Karina that the routines are digital but the dancing is analog. You can see the bubble over Karina's head with a big question mark. Oh, dear.
I'm nervous for him. I always feel bad for the people that are just really bad dancers. Except Tucker Carlson. I never felt bad for him. Karina lets Woz dance a lot of the time on his own. Also, Karina is practically naked. And Woz is having a lot of fun out there. Unfortunately, his dancing is TERRIBLE. Like hard to watch. His posture is horrific, and he has no rhythm. God bless him. And he was not sexy at all.
Len says that the routine fascinated him, but it was a disaster overall. Bruno says it was like watching a Teletubby go mad in a gay pride parade. Come on. That was an awesome comment, even if it was mean. Carrie Ann thinks Woz is going out of his comfort zone, and it's heartwarming. Woz tries to make a joke, but he's so awkward and... ugh. I feel bad for him, but I hope he leaves soon, because it makes me too anxious. Scores: Carrie Ann 5, Len 4 and Bruno 4. Woz says backstage that he's having a ton of fun and he's glad to be there. And he's sincere about it! Karina says he's the nicest guy alive. That's sweet. He still should go home.
David Alan Grier (DAG) is dancing with Kym. Kym greets him with a hug and kiss, and DAG gets very serious and says he only believes in a handshake. He's totally goofing around and she doesn't get it. Kym says that once she understood his sense of humor, she enjoyed it, but he's also really intensely competitive. DAG and Kym prepare to dance their waltz. He's good, but he's got this weird smile on his face the whole time that seems really fake. It's almost like he's dancing ironically. I don't know if he can help it. Kym also doesn't give him much to do. He's mostly standing there while she twirls around. I think he'll do great at a Latin dance, though, and I can't wait to see him try.
Bruno thought he had good lines, but when they were in hold, his posture wasn't good. DAG's multiple characters and facial expressions also confused him. Carrie Ann agrees about the facial expressions. Len thought it was more good than bad. The only criticisms the judges have are very specific and technical, which is a good sign. I just think DAG needs to get his DAG on and be crazy in order to get people to call in for him. Backstage, DAG tries to stick with his serious character and cracks some jokes. Scores: Carrie Ann 6, Len 7 and Bruno 6. Hmm. I thought he did better than that.
