Dancing with The Stars

By Mary Cavaliere

 

The show opened with a group performance with the pros dancing to Should I Stay Or Should I Go. More "filler" followed with each of the couples reviewing what they did during the competition and what they found to be most enjoyable as well as challenging. It took a while to get to the first round of dance which was a bit frustrating.

 

Tonight the final four couples danced for the judges votes and the viewer votes twice to determine who will be in the finals next week. This week did not need to be a 2-hour show. For me it was way too much filler and not enough dancing.

 

The second hour focused on each of the semi-finalist's background.....family.....friends....etc. It's something we want to see on American Idol, but not on Dancing With The Stars. On Idol the contestants are becoming stars. On this show, they are already there.

Here's my take on tonight's performances:

 

Melissa & Tony

danced the Quickstep. Phenomenal! I love love LOVED it and I think Carrie Ann and Bruno are just grumpy tonight! My Score = 10. Judges Combined Score = 28 Their second dance was the Cha-Cha-Cha. Tony's choreography was brilliant and Melissa was once again captivating. My Score = 10. Judges Combined Score = 27 TOTAL SCORE = 55

 

Gilles & Cheryl

danced the Waltz. Breathtakingly (is that a word?) beautiful! And that dress....OMG! My Score = 10. Judges Combined Score = 30 Their second dance was the Salsa. I didn't like it as much as the judges did, but it was still enjoyable to watch. My Score = 9. Judges Combined Score = 30 TOTAL SCORE = 60

 

Shawn & Mark

danced the Argentine Tango. It was absolutely awesome. I don't know how people are going to vote tonight....it is NOT going to be easy. My Score = 10. Judges Combined Score = 30 Their second dance was the Jive but I have to be honest. I didn't like the choreography at all and it seemed Shawn was not always in sync with Mark. My Score = 8. Judges Combined Score = 26 TOTAL SCORE = 56

 

Ty & Chelsie

danced the Viennese Waltz. It was nice, but it's just not the same caliber as the other three couples. My Score = 8. Judges Combined Score = 28 Their second dance was the Samba and it was definitely a step up from his first dance. He did great! My Score = 9. Judges Combined Score = 23 TOTAL SCORE = 51

 

I think determining who is going into the finals is a no-brainer. It will be Melissa, Gilles, and Shawn and anything other than that would be a huge shock to all of us I am sure.....
