Episode Report Card 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Season 4 Performance #7
By Kim | Season 4 | Episode 12 | Aired on April 29, 2007
My favorite, Ian, is up next. Ian complains that last week, he did the paso doble, which he thought was supposed to be passionate, but the judges seemed to penalize him for that. His partner, Cheryl, announces that she took Carrie Ann's advice and invited Billy Ray to their rehearsal. Ian announces that he's not learning much about technique, but he did learn something about having fun. Everyone loves Billy Ray! I don't get it. Maybe Ian was just being nice.
Ian and Cheryl dance the tango to "Holding Out for a Hero." Ian seems like he's permanently bent at the waist, and maybe that's a technique in this dance or something, but it doesn't look good. It looks like he has a hernia. Or a gastrointestinal issue. Brandon Walsh is in the audience! I love the 90210 alumni showing up to support Steve Sanders. Len goes first for the judges and says that the passion and the drama were great, but there were some small blunders. Bruno thinks this was "the revenge of Ian." Aw, Ian's eyes look so sad when the judges say mean things. Carrie Ann appreciates that he tried to have fun. I'll tell you what needs to lighten up â the giant vein in Ian's forehead. It's freaking me out. I think Ian's Vein could get its own partner and come in fourth place this week. Backstage, Ian talks about how much fun they had with Billy Ray this week as they wait for their scores. Ooh, they get a 9, 9, and a 9 for a total of 27. They are thrilled with that.
Last week, the judges loved Billy Ray's energy, but this week he's got two dances to learn, and learning dances is Billy Ray's weakness. He makes the same joke he made in Ian's rehearsal about being a "heel-billy" because he dances on his heels instead of his toes. Billy Ray decides he wants to showcase Karina in the waltz, which basically means that she's going to dance around while he just stands there. Karina promises that Billy Ray is not going to get off easy. I think Karina deserves hazard pay for having to try to teach Billy Ray how to dance.
