Episode Report Card Kim: B+ | 54 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT Two Dances, Too Much?
By Kim | Season 8 | Episode 16 | Aired on 2009.05.04
Melissa and Tony have the final dance of the night with their samba. In rehearsal, Melissa admits that she's terrified of doing the solo, but she's happy to be back in the competition no matter what happens. They start with Melissa's solo, which is probably the best of the bunch we've seen. It's nothing too crazy, but it fits in with the dance. The rest of the routine is well-choreographed by Tony. I still don't read sexiness from Melissa, but her technique is really good, especially considering that she's dancing injured. I know the judges will like this routine, but I'd still like to see a little more personality from Melissa. After they finish, Melissa is sort of squealing. I think she got hit in the mouth at some point? I thought I heard her tell Tony that she hurt her mouth. [I thought she was saying that her boob came out of her dress, because she had her arms crossed her chest afterwards. -- Angel]
Len thinks that Melissa completely deserves to be in the semifinals. Bruno thinks Melissa's samba had everything in it, because of its beautiful execution. Carrie Ann wants to point out the flaws so that they can improve, but then she swerves on them: "Take the week off -- flawless!" Tony jumps around with joy and Melissa gives Carrie Ann a hug. Backstage, I can't stop looking at Melissa's abs. I think she has better abs than most of the guys. Scores: Carrie Ann 10, Len 10, and Bruno 10. Tony says that he hasn't seen a perfect score since the second season.
I think Ty should go this week, and then I think it's really anyone's game at that point. Each of the other four have been on top at one point or another, so you never know. Plus, DanceCenter tomorrow night! I couldn't be more excited about that. See you then.
Final scores:
Melissa and Tony: 27 + 30 = 57
Gilles and Cheryl: 29 + 27 = 56
Shawn and Mark: 27 + 29 = 56
Kim and Derek: 25 + 27 = 52
Ty and Chelsie: 25 + 21 = 46
