Episode Report Card 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Season 4 Performance #8
By Kim | Season 4 | Episode 14 | Aired on May 6, 2007
Last week, Apolo and Julianne were hurt by Len's comments, so it has inspired them to do really, really well this week. Apolo thinks the choreography Julianne has come up with is better than ever, and what we're seeing them rehearse does look pretty exceptional. Apolo wants to blow our minds. Way to manage expectations, dude.
Ooh, they're dancing the tango to "Jesse's Girl." Love that song, but interesting choice. Hey, they should have Rick Springfield on the show next season! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! I don't know much about the tango, but the footwork looks pretty impressive to me! The audience seemed to like it, so much that one woman jumped up and the back of her head blocked the camera for a minute.
Before Tom can even announce it, Bruno starts yelling and screaming about inventive the choreography was, and Carrie Ann adds that everything was fabulous. And now to Len. He thinks it lacked passion and drama, and even Tom goes over and pretends to swat him with the cards. The audience is booing so loud that Len can't even talk, and Bruno is making the crazy sign with his fingers. Len thinks it was too hectic, because the tango should be a passionate slow dance. Okay, sometimes Len is too cranky and old even for me. Tom jokes that it's past Len's bedtime, and Len chuckles. I thought Bruno and Len were going to come to blows. Controversy! I love it! And now to the scores: it's a 10, an 8, and a 10. But wait! It says 9 on the screen for Carrie Ann? Samantha explains that Carrie Ann keyed in a 9, and then held up the wrong paddle. They go back to Tom, and Carrie Ann says that she meant to give them a 10, so Tom promises that they'll get it straightened out on the break. Tom also apologizes for hitting Len. It's getting CRAZY! This show is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. This show is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
When we return, Tom explains that there was a problem with Carrie Ann's computer, but that she intended to give Apolo and Julianne a 10, so that's the score they will get, and their total is now 28. So here's the rankings after one round of dancing: Apolo and Julianne lead with 28, then Laila and Maksim have 27, Joey and Kym have 26, Ian and Cheryl have 22 and Billy Ray brings up the rear with 18. Moving on to the Latin round.
Ian and Cheryl are doing the rumba to..."Imagine"? Wha? Seriously? This is dumb. This isn't a sensual song, but they're doing sensual moves and it's freaking me out a little bit. I think this was a huge miscalculation. I was sure Billy Ray was going this week, but now I'm not so sure.
