Heather Morris Blogs DWTS Season 24 Week 1…and What’s Coming in Week 2
Heather’s blog for week 1/week 2 is out and I have to say I like her attitude, despite thinking they shouldn’t have cast her. I think she really doesn’t need to be nervous and I’m not sure how much of that is real and how much is a reaction to the criticism people have had about her participation. She has to know that people are going to be more critical. The headline talks about a “secret weapon” and honestly I can’t figure out what that is. Check out People – maybe you can figure it out.
After the high of Monday’s show, Maks and I took Tuesday off so he could choreograph this week’s dance — and also, so I could recuperate after our 14-hour show day. (I seriously felt like I got hit by a bus.)
Our dance this week is the jive and, again, I’m going to reveal to you right now: I’m very nervous about it.
I’ve only ever had one encounter with the jive before this and I felt that was an utter fail. I really have no desire to repeat it. But as the days went on and I got to learn the steps, I also learned to fall in love with the dance — big surprise.
The jive is way more my method of a dancing. Unlike the salsa or most ballroom styles, I’m not imprisoned into a frame with my partner — which is something I’ve never really been good at. In addition, this week I get to do a little snippet of the type of dancing I do best in this week’s number. THANK YOU, MAKS!
Glad to see Alan filling in for Maks, but that’s probably not the “secret weapon.”
3 guesses for “secret weapon:”
Photo montage of naked babies, just like the “Forever” Full House music video;
Showmance with Alan, because that one they kept pushing with with Paige never worked out;
The “I’m a Slave 4 U” snake.
I think they meant her hip hop moves.
LMAO at Nukegrrrl’s “guesses” especially the FH reference. 😛 I agree with Kaew that the “secret weapon” is probably a reference to her hip-hop moves.
My guess for the secret weapon is different. I think her Glee former castmates, Naya Rivera and Kevin McHale will be in the audience cheering her on and requesting votes. Heather had said even before Week 1 that both will come. Naya and Kevin are still in touch. And the song list contains Heya by Outkast. A certain contingent of Glee fans referred to Naya and Heather as HeYa and the show had Kevin (as Artie) sing that at the wedding reception of Brittany and Santana, (Heather and Naya’s characters.) I can’t see DWTS not making a play here. I’m surprised the song wasn’t assigned to Heather and Maks.
Heather, you are my favourite dancer to watch. I feel absolutely sick that you are no longer on the show. Unfortunately it has happened in the past where the best dancer ends up going home and it isn’t because they were the worst. It’s because people think everyone is going to vote for them and their spot is basically guaranteed so they vote for another dancer. You deserve to be on the show and I’m sorry that you’re time has come to an end. I will miss watching you and Maks.
