Episode Report Card Kim: A- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT No, Seriously, Forget About Me
By Kim | Season 10 | Episode 8 | Aired on 04.19.2010
Bruno loves how Pam stays in character, and she kept her posture throughout. Carrie Ann agrees with Bruno, and says that she would even love to see Pam on Broadway. Len hated the twenty-four bars of just messing about, as anyone would who watched this show knew he would. He disparages "all that nonsense." I love him. He's so right. Without him, this show would turn into people doing two-minute skits with thirty seconds of dancing. Scores: Carrie Ann 7, Len 6, and Bruno 8. Backstage, Pamela explains that they needed to use the props in the beginning because the beginning of the song is pretty dull. That's actually true. Len isn't buying it.
Ugh, Kate and Tony. She sucks, but she sucked a tiny bit less last week. They're doing the foxtrot to "Don't You Forget About Me" from The Breakfast Club. Kate has never seen the movie. Okay, she's in her mid-30s, right? How has she not seen that movie? Anyway, Tony wants her to do that move where you plug your nose and pretend that you're diving down and Kate just stares at him and bitches about how dumb it is. Tony is starting to lose his patience. He says that it's in the movie, and he wanted to add a bit of humor. She's like, "Are we swimming or are we dancing?" He should just kick her in the box. Seriously. I think Kate's biggest problem is that no one has ever just kicked her in the box. I don't normally advocate violence, but she needs a good smack. She has NO SENSE OF HUMOR. How does she get through life? Tony asks her to please put one ounce of energy into her dancing, and explains to the camera that Kate has no motivation and it's like pulling teeth. God, what an ungrateful sow. Why are people voting for her? WHY? WHY DO THEY DO IT? She's making me like Tony, and I've never liked Tony. Blech. So how is their actual dance? It is the most careful foxtrot of all time, and a lot of it features Kate caressing her long wig. Who originally said that someone danced like old people making love? That's what this is. Kate seems to think that singing along with the song equals putting energy into it. But it doesn't. Poor Tony.
Carrie Ann thinks Kate is developing seeds of grace and the camera man cuts to Bruno giving a "Bitch, please" look. Len thinks it was neat and precise, but she was strolling instead of dancing. Bruno says that Tony could have gotten more life out of "a frock with a coat hanger." Tony bites his lip and you can tell he wants to high five Bruno, who adds that Kate has gone backwards from last week's progress. Kate just smiles, so obviously someone told her to stop making bitchface at the judges. Backstage, Kate says that her kids visited her this week, and she spent a lot of her energy on them, and then basically says if you don't vote for her, you hate children. Right, because none of the other contestants have kids? Shut it, Kate. Scores: Carrie Ann 5, Len 5, and Bruno 5.
