Episode Report Card Kim: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Storytime
By Kim | Season 11 | Episode 5 | Aired on 10.04.2010
Len thought it had energy and good hip action, and an improvement over last week. He didn't really get the story though, and Maks playfully argues with him a little bit, but knows enough to shut up. Bruno feels like he saw "the comeback of the diva" and loved her placement of her arms and legs. Carrie Ann tries to slap Maks on the butt because she felt he mistreated Brandy in rehearsals, but she admits that it worked, because they were on fire. Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 8, and Bruno 8 for a total of 24. For all that complaining, those are pretty good scores. Is Brooke pregnant again? Maks grabbed her belly in a weird way that made me think she might be. If so, that was rude of Maks to do, no?
Kyle and Lacey: In rehearsals, Lacey gets the song for their dance and it's "Take It To the Limit" by The Eagles. AND SHE'S NEVER HEARD OF THEM. Look, I know I'm old, and the Eagles were even before my time, but how can you be a citizen of the United States and never have heard of the Eagles. She's dumb. Kyle doesn't seem to know either. So they toss that song out, even though it is a great song, and get some other song about a coffee shop that I have never heard of, so maybe I'm the dumb one now. So once they get their song settled, Kyle works on his technique, since the waltz isn't really in his wheelhouse. It's all about posture and grace, which are not Kyle's strengths. Once the song starts, I realize that I have heard it before. Kyle's a customer at a coffeeshop and Lacey is his waitress, and they fall in love and start dancing. Man, Lacey's pants are really unflattering. They make her ass look huge. Anyway, I guess it's okay. He's just not my favorite.
Bruno thinks Kyle is totally likeable, and his arms are getting better, though his feet need work. Carrie Ann thinks he is fun, and she compliments his arms as well. Len likes his acting level and his performance level, but his footwork is atrocious. Everyone boos Len, for daring to say that Kyle was less than perfect. Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 7, and Bruno 8 for a total of 23.
The Situation and Karina: Karina comes up with some sort of sci fi storyline that The Situation doesn't even understand. Except he keeps trying to turn it into a porn storyline. And they have the foxtrot to "Boom Boom Pow," so this should be...interesting. Well, I don't know enough about the foxtrot to really judge the technique. I know that The Situation is way too stiff and not really on the beat most of the time. Bless him, he's trying. His arms aren't bad. Karina wisely puts a ton of business at the beginning so there's less actual dancing, similar to what Chelsie tried last week. I feel like The Situation doesn't know this routine as well as previous ones; you can see how uncomfortable he is. It's also the worst rendition of "Boom Boom Pow" of all time, which can't help.
