Episode Report Card Kim: B+ | 9 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT Performance 4
By Kim | Season 6 | Episode 7 | Aired on April 7, 2008
Anyway, Carrie Ann recognizes that there were some posture problems, but she's crying. Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 8, and Bruno 8 for a total of 24. Really? Carrie Ann cried and then gave her an 8? Huh.Mario and Karina's boobs are doing the paso doble this week, after a dip in their scores last week. Mario feels like he's fighting to stay alive in the competition. So Karina makes him do push-ups and sit-ups? While she yells at him? Is she going to make him chase chickens and jog up some stairs while the Rocky theme plays? The dance begins to "Higher Ground" by Stevie Wonder. Mario looks great. His moves are sharp, although he forgets to point his toes a couple of times. If he can make it through this week, he could be great doing a mambo or a rhumba. They do some sort of flip that doesn't seem like it could be legal for their big finish.
Bruno thinks that Mario came out with guns blazing, and he was strong and powerful. Carrie Ann liked it too, and thought he attacked it, but he needs to have better transitions. Len liked parts of it, but thinks his style is too wild. Bruno thinks it's more powerful. Tom has to intervene to get Len a chance to talk again, but he doesn't have much more to say other than that he has underpants older than Mario. Wow, I didn't need to think about Len's drawers. Hey, Julianne's boyfriend Zach is sitting behind Len. The wonders of hi-def. Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 7, and Bruno 9 for a total of 24. The crowd goes nuts for Bruno's score.
Jason and Edyta didn't impress Len last week, so he's going to have to learn chivalry to do his Viennese waltz this week. So Edyta takes him to Medieval Times. God, how I despise these stupid field trips, although it is funny when Jason does the running man. I'm a sucker for late '80s dance crazes. They start dancing and Edyta is wearing more clothes than I've ever seen on her. Jason is quite graceful, though a little stiff. At one point, Jason trips over his own feet during a turn but he recovers well. And he's doing a good job of not looking at his feet, which he usually does. I thought it was nice, but not up to the pinnacle of Viennese Waltzes, which was Maks and Mel from last season.
Carrie Ann loved the elegance and grace, as well as the chemistry, so she'll forgive the stumble. Len loved it. Bruno thought he made it sexy and erotic, like a mating ritual. I'm a little uncomfortable with Bruno's discussion of the sexiness of the dance. Backstage, Edyta blames his stumble on nerves, and says that she's proud of him regardless.
