Carrie Ann Inaba And Julianne Hough Blog On DWTS Season 21 week 2

What a week it’s been! I REALLY hope the producers kick this idea to the curb, and NEVER re-visit the thought again! Giving the couples TWO dances in only week 2 of the competition really was cruel and unusual punishment that not one of the pairs on the show deserve! And if I heard Witney correctly in her After Buzz interview, it was a complete surprise. Not fair, I think, to dump something like that on them at the last moment. And while I’m complaining, why does it seem that some of the couples were allowed to go rehearse Monday night, and others weren’t? I’m just going by Julianne’s question to Tamar and Val, when she asked if they went to practice, because what she’d commented on Monday seems to have been fixed. I know from Carlos and Alexa’s blog posts, both wanted and asked to go rehearse after the show Monday, and were told the rehearsal spaces were all closed. So, did anyone get to practice?

Moving on…..

Julianne’s style blog has moved from People to InStyle, which seems to be a better fit, since it’s a blog about FASHION! She’s got a blog up for Monday, and another one for Tuesday, so go and check both of them out! There’s behind the scenes photos with her dogs, too. It’s amazing how different she looked both nights. Which night do you prefer? I loved her look on Monday, it felt soft, and romantic, while Tuesday seemed a lot more edgy, and while I like when her team plays up her eyes to make them “pop,” there was something I just didn’t like about the look on Tuesday.

And Carrie Ann wrote her weekly blog post over on Parade. It’s definitely an interesting read, so go check it out. She has a very definite error in it that somehow got passed the editors, if they’ve got any. Or, did they just do a spell check? She decided “to comment on the top three male performers and the top three male performers.” No, not my typo.

Her top 3 female performers are:

  1. Tamar and Val
  2. Bindi and Derek
  3. Alexa and Mark

Her top 3 male performers are:

  1. Nick and Sharna
  2. Hayes and Emma
  3. Andy and Allison

She discussed the “lift issue” when she talks about Bindi and Derek, but I won’t go into it here, but if you’re interested, there’s a conversation started over on PDH. I don’t think Carrie Ann is ever going to realize that people are not upset that she’s deemed herself as the “Lift Police” as they are upset that she cannot be completely consistent in applying that rule. When she overlooks obvious lifts choreographed into dances that aren’t supposed to have lifts, but docks someone who accidentally had both feet a couple inches off the floor, there’s a big problem, but she seems to be more concerned with proving she’s in the right.

So…. Any thoughts on Carrie Ann’s blog? Did she get her top 3 lists correct? What would YOUR lists be?
