DWTS Stats Class – Week 4
Classical Week! With a full orchestra… and that gawdy staircase out of the way. What dances will our stars have to tackle for the week?
Ralph and Karina – Waltz
- Age [40s]: 21
- Occupation [Actor]: 27.25
- Pro Partner: 23.333
Predicted Score: 23
Thoughts: Is it just me or is Ralph “struggling” with the Latin dances as opposed to the Ballroom dance (Foxtrot). I’m looking for him to make his “come back” with the Waltz.
Kirstie and Maks – Waltz
- Age [60s]: 22
- Occupation [Actress]: 22.833
- Pro Partner: 25.4
Predicted Score: 23
Thoughts: Kirstie, to me, seems to do much better in the Latin dances than the Ballroom dance (Quickstep)… then again the Quickstep required a lot of energy, a lot of which Kirstie did not have towards the end. The Waltz is a bit more paced than the Quickstep, so this should work out more to her favor.
Romeo and Chelsie – Paso Doble
- Age [20s]: 27.7
- Occupation [Singer]: 22.75
- Pro Partner: N/A
Predicted Score: 25
Thoughts: Romeo needs to learn to be a man if he wants to dominate the Paso Doble. To me it seems like Romeo was just following Chelsie around like a little lap dog… ok… maybe not that extreme, but still. All kidding aside unless Romeo mans up… he may be next to bow out.
Chris and Cheryl – Paso Doble
- Age [40s]: 22.333
- Occupation [Athlete]: 27
- Pro Partner: 25.625
Predicted Score: 24
Thoughts: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chris when he’s doing the ballroom dances, not so much with the Latin… With all the theoretical masculinity he has to throw around in the Wrestling ring… could he channel that into the Paso Doble?
Petra and Dmitry – Paso Doble
- Age [30s]: 25.406
- Occupation [Model]: 29
- Pro Partner: 30
Predicted Score: 28
Thoughts: oK… Dmitry hasn’t been on the show long enough for good data to be derived… same with models… so Petra is going to be breaking some boundaries here. Petra does well when it comes to slow sympatheic dances, but with something like the Paso Doble? I don’t know… I’m a bit skeptical
Hines and Kym – Paso Doble
- Age [30s]: 25.406
- Occupation [NFL]: 23
- Pro Partner: 23.333
Predicted Score: 23
Thoughts: Hines shines the most when he could infuse a bit of his personality into the dance. The Paso is a different animal and for some reason I just can’t see it happening… can you?
Chelsea and Mark – Viennese Waltz
- Age [20s]: 25.6
- Occupation [Disney]: 24.5
- Pro Partner: 21.5
Predicted Score: 23.867
Thoughts: So far Chelsea has been on a bit of an uphill climb… I’m thinking she’s going to peak too soon a la Sabrina Bryan… but who knows?
Sugar Ray & Anna – Viennese Waltz
- Age [50s]: 23
- Occupation [Boxer]: N/A
- Pro Partner: 23.333
Predicted Score: 23
Thoughts: Sugar Ray has been having problems with posture… as thus this is going to take some work for him to get up to form…
Kendra and Louis – Viennese Waltz
- Age [20s]: 25.6
- Occupation [Reality TV]: 21.5
- Pro Partner: 20.75
Predicted Score: 22
Thoughts: I don’t know about you guys, but I rather liked Kendra in the Quickstep… so I’m expecting her to do decently in the Viennese Waltz.
**NOTE: N/A – There is no prior data in this particular category
I’m watching the show right now but won’t spoil it for anyone in a different timezone. However, I will say that it’s a chest-off for all the guys doing Paso. I just busted out laughing when I saw that.
I’m so sick of Romeo he’s so full of himself! And that same old i’m a college athlete and i’m doin it for the kid’s!I wish he would shut-up!
So, I’m not watching, only following scores on Wikipedia. As a result, I got my “Nutcracker” songs mixed up, and was thinking of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy instead of Waltz of the Flowers. Couldn’t figure out how the former tune would be a V. Waltz…then just figured that it was some kind of cutesy thing on the part of the producers (Sugar Ray, Sugar Plum)…then realized I was thinking of the wrong song. LOL
That’ll teach me not to watch the actual show.
Looking forward to seeing how Kirstie makes her comeback~
I think her partner is doing a fabulous job with pushing her boundaries. Hopefully this week she’ll come back full force but graceful at the same time!
Will you be posting a list of the music?
I loved this show tonight. It was awesome.
I missed Sugar Ray and Kendra because of technical difficulties on my television’s side of things, but really enjoyed the rest of the show tonight. I feel like Petra was scored higher than she deserved, though she’s certainly one of the better models they’ve had on the show. The judges really seem to totally ignore her awkward moments. Loved Ralph, Hines and Chelsea’s dances though I knew Len would be annoyed at Mark. I don’t mind if he gets mad at Mark, as long as he doesn’t take it out on Chelsea who isn’t the one in charge. I liked Chris, but hated the choice of music for their paso.
Loved the orchestra. That was amazing! Best themed weeks so far…!
I liked acoustic night too, but it wasn’t as good as this one.
I really don’t wanna see again a Rock Week (argh!)
