DWTS Season 12 – Karina Smirnoff And Ralph Macchio On The Ellen Show (Video)
Ellen interviewed Ralph and Karina on her show. They kid with Ellen about Maks and Kirstie falling this past week and how it might help their chances if they fall in the future too. They joke about Karina having a different “situation” this year as well (Ellen, as always, creative and funny with her wording and questions). Ralph is humble as always about everything. All this and more below. Ellen gives them gifts too that you’ll want to be sure to see.
didn’t Karina and Ralph already dance the jive….
Sorry Katy, I didn’t hear Karina right at first. I thought she said Jive when she said “job”. I corrected it.
What are the dances for next week; Hines has the Paso (should be awesome since Kym is a terrific choreographer) and Kendra has the V, waltz.; what are the others?
What are Maks and Kirstie going to dance?
Since I am rooting for Ralph, I know that they have the Waltz. I hope he works on his arms and hands. I believe Kirstie and Maks have the waltz as well. Not sure on the others.
The dances are the Slow Waltz, the Viennese Waltz and the Paso, so at least this week we don’t have a smorgasbord. 🙂
Can someone help me out? In previous seasons I don’t remember the pros talking about the “slow waltz”. It was either the “waltz” and the “Viennese waltz” and I knew what the differences between those dances were. Now they’re talking about the “slow waltz”. Is it a different dance than the “waltz”? I’m confused!
From what I understood, the Viennese Waltz allows for couple breaks and is a faster tempo than the Slow. Or have I got them muddled?
Coourrtneyyyy!!!! She’ll know the answer for sure. 🙂
Maks has a blog at tvguide.com and he talks about “classical” dances next week and that they will have a singer and a bigger orchestra. Anyone know what that means? Since Hines is doing a Paso to what seems like a violin instrumental will the orchestra be set up with just the violins? Sounds interesting anyway.
Apparently there’s going to an orchestra pit and the stage will be reconfigured and they will lose the steps, I think? Where did I read/hear that? Mark’s blog? One of the after-show interviews? I wish I could remember! And there are going to be two more singers than usual and it sounded like they wouldn’t be tucked in with the band/orchestra as the singers normally are.
okay I love Karina’s outfit. its so yellowy(is that a word?)
I believe the slow waltz is just another term from the waltz, and maybe the pros are using it since this week there will be both Viennese and “slow” waltzes whereas in the past those two dances weren”t usually done on the same week (I don’t think they were, anyway).
I love Ralph! He is so adorable and humble.
This is a critical week for Ralph. Jennifer also has that “you aren’t so hot; you’re trying too hard” judges week, then all three got back on board with her. This week will be telling.
Thanks to all for the insight into the “slow” waltz. Sounds like it’s the same waltz we’ve seen in previous seasons.
@Bruce, I agree this is a critical week for Ralph. He wowed the judges Week 1 but didn’t cement the relationship with his next two dances. He needs to get them back on the team bus this week. Glad he got the waltz, he might have oversold the Paso.
So here’s what I spotted, in case it’s not been posted elsewhere…
Ralph and Kirstie have the Waltz.
Chelsea, Ray and Kendra have the Viennese Waltz.
Romeo, Chris, Petra and Hines have the Paso Doble.
