Kurt did better than most expected last week, though Len wasn't a fan. Kurt clearly got some caps or veneers recently. His teeth are too big and white for his face now. While they rehearse, Kurt offers up some suggestions for the dance. Anna shoots most of them down, but Kurt thinks she appreciates it because at least he's into the dance. They're doing the jive to "Danger Zone" from Top Gun. I think Kurt just did the moonwalk. Or tried to. Kurt is pretty light on his feet, and his kicks are nice and high. Take note, Margaret. And he points his toes most of the time. He's actually pretty good! I mean, let's not get crazy. He's not great. But he's better than I expected and he puts a little flair into his moves.
Judges? Carrie Ann loved it and thinks he has great musicality and ease on the floor. Len thinks it was much improved, and he just needs to be a little sharper. Bruno points out that it flowed so easily, and he had great hand placement. Seriously, Kurt could win this thing. Scores: Carrie Ann 7, Len 7, and Bruno 7. Hmm. I thought it was a little better than that, but I appreciate that the judges aren't going nuts with the high scores this early.
So last week, The Situation had a lot of attitude, but not much in the way of technique. Will he do better this week with more rehearsal time? Well, he claims that he's working hard, and Karina is really pushing him, but his rehearsal footage doesn't look too great. And he's still way pigeon-toed. He is very light on his feet but this is just not his routine. He has great posture, at least. But he kind of just looks like he's flailing his arms and legs about. And I think he forgot a bunch of steps in the middle. And the attitude that carried him last week is completely absent. Oof.
Len thought it was "a series of unfortunate events," although he acknowledges that it was a difficult dance. Bruno could tell The Situation wanted to do well and he was focused, but he was too up in his head and didn't perform. Carrie Ann thought he wasn't listening to and connecting to the music enough, and she points out that he's pigeon-toed, like that's a news flash. Scores: Carrie Ann 6, Len 6, and Bruno 6 for a total of 18. They're happy to beat their scores from last week.
The final couple is Bristol and Mark. They went home to Alaska this week. Why, I'm not sure. It seems like with limited rehearsal time, traveling to Alaska wouldn't be in the cards. Mark even says it took a lot of time. So why did they go? Although I guess better to go this week, when they only have one new routine. Anyway, they have the quickstep. It's...adequate. She looks really, really nervous, but just like last week, there are moments that show promise. She could be good if she can get over her shyness.
