Dancing with the Stars Season 21, Week 2 – Tuesday Night LIVE BLOG
And onto night 2 of the “Hometown Glory” extravaganza – and tonight it’s the pros’ turn 🙂 If you want a refresher of what went down last night, here’s Monday’s live blog post, and my power rankings and Heidi’s numbers headed into tonight’s show. Sorry kids – had to unsticky ’em, or else we’d just have an endless parade of stickies on the front page, and ain’t nobody got time to scroll through that 😉
Thoughts going into tonight’s show? I’m just happy to not be watching on a crappy internet feed, and that my asthma is in check thanks to a new inhaler (thanks to all who checked in on me today :-)). Actually kinda excited to see the pros’ talking about their hometowns – haven’t really gotten to see a ton of that. Slightly disappointed we won’t get to see Keo’s – Deep Throat indicated his hometown package was REALLY neat. Still think Kim is on the chopping block, with *cringe* Victor possibly on the bubble.
Not sure that opening went as smoothly as it could have.
Emma’s intro was super cute. And that quickstep was pretty damn good – Hayes a contender yet again.
Good lawd, what is Witney wearing??? She looks like a cross between a Vegas showgirl and a saloon girl. Not my favorite costume she’s ever worn…
And like Hayes, Carlos also SLAYS his dance. Nick & Bindi could have some serious competition in Carlos. Shut up Carrie Ann – love that Alexa & Witney are both giving her the “B*tch, no you di’int!” face.
“Putin on the Ritz”, eh Tom? I see what you did there. 😛
Gary’s still good fun. Seems like they may be trying to knock him out by next week, though.
I see that Hayley has been minimally present in the bumpers – wonder if they’re realizing that you can’t just take a contemporary dancer, give them a crash course in ballroom, and expect them to be just as good as people that have been doing ballroom their entire lives.
I think that’s the first time Andy has really IMPRESSED me so far this season. He handled that nicely.
The judges are annoying the crap outta me tonight – they’re just bickering.
Weslie is adorable – you can tell she is just LOVING being on TV.
The famous Shirley Ballas “three step turn-telemark-one-footed-spin-into-a-split” rumba move – $5 says Alexa won’t be able to pull it off. That’s a RIDICULOUSLY hard amalgamation.
Alexa sorta-kinda did the combo. But the thing about how Shirley do it was that it was so FAST – Alexa got a tad stuck. But a good effort 🙂 Pretty dance.
Not loving Julianne’s eye makeup tonight. Never been a fan of a strong cut crease.
Paula did ok – not as good as last night, but better than last week.
Man Kim has some YUGE knockers.
Bindi’s metaphors…lol.
Lovely dance from Bindi & Derek – more of a contemporary/waltz fusion, but I enjoyed it.
Carrie Ann just needs to drop the dumbass “lift police”. It’s tired, it’s pointless, and it’s petty.
I enjoyed Kim & Tony’s dance far more than I thought I would. Kim felt really engaged in it, as did Tony.
Alek looks so stinkin’ cute in his white suit 🙂 And I see Tamar is putting Val through the paces again – love that he got a strong-willed partner this season. Welcome to Tony’s world, dude.
Carrie Ann, I can tell you and I are gonna butt heads this season. Just tell Alek he did well, with a few mistakes. I don’t think they’re giving him (or anyone else) enough credit tonight.
Love that Victor & Karina are EMBRACING the height difference, instead of making things awkward.
I think that’s the best Victor has done so far. Dude is seriously giving it his all.
I daresay Nick redeemed himself completely from last night. GORGEOUS.
Ok, I REALLY liked Tamar in that Charleston. And I LOVE that she is as baffled by the shirtlessness as I am. 😀
In jeopardy: Gary & Anna and Victor & Karina
Going home: Victor & Karina. Dammit 🙁
Is Kim REALLY that popular??? Victor looks sad. I am sad. Gary in jeopardy again? If he’s not gone next week, I will be shocked.
