Another first. Tonight half of a couple's score is based on their individual dance while the other half of their score is the team dance so the total points will depend to a certain extent on what the "team" gets in the second dance. Two teams dance. One is the Cha Cha and the other is the Pasa Doble. The team concept seems to be more difficult for some that others. Add that to the frustration and problems between some couples, and Edyta stepping in for Juliane to dance with Cody and we have an interesting outcome.
Warren and Kym do the foxtrot. Len Goodman is back as judge. He says it wasn't your best dance and it wasn't a classic foxtrot. Bruno is wearing a boa, and says "I am what I am." (yikes) He says Warren was flat footed and needs to go back to normal. Carrie Ann asks him what was not right tonight and he says "his feet". Apparently he's not comfortable in his shoes tonight and it really tool its toll. He says back stage they just are not what he usually wears.
Scores 7+7+7 = 21 They will add the team dance from tonight to their scores as well.
Next they show some of the frustration between some of the couples. (Cloris isn't there to keep them laughing?)
Susan and Tony doing the Pasa Doble. During rehearsal she gets very frustrated wth him and he says he's not frustratedwith her but needs her to get angry for this dance. Bruno says well done. Carrie Ann makes her stand near the judges table and say "I am doing GOOD" Len says it's one of her best dances, well done.
Scores 8+8+8 = 24 or Susan & Tony.
Tomorrow is election coverage so results show will be Wednesday at 8 Central time. The team dance is going to be a Cha Cha & Pasa Doble.
Maurice and Cheryl doing the Cha Cha. Judges say... Carrie Ann says it was great, Len also says it was his best dance. Bruno says Happy Days are Here Again with Maurice.
Scores 8+9+8 = 25
Cody and his partner Edyta filling in for Julianne while she recovers from her surgery. They go visit Juliane in the hospital and she gives Edyta
Dancing the Vienese Waltz. Judges say -Len says getting a new partner is like getting a new pair of shoes. you have to get comfortable. He thinks Cody and Edyta looked comfortable with each other but he didn't think Cody looked comfortable with the dance. Bruno says it was like watching a fledgeling bird that was not quite ready to take off. Carrie Ann says she thought it was great. I'm not sure when Julianne is coming back.
Scores 8+7+7 = 22
Lance and Laci who got three 9's last week seem to be having difficulty as well with the frustration during rehearsal. He has hurt his toe and they are having difficulty. She says he's being so negative. She is actually crying in frustration with his negative attitude. The next day she apogizes to him and they try to work it out. Dancing the Rhumba. They look very happy with each other at the end of the dance. Judges say - Bruno - seductive, and he thinks it's wonderful. Carrie Ann says it was a great risk and a great payoff. Len says he didn't get it, it didn't enhance the performacne. He danced without shoes tonight. It was apparently unconventional for the Rhumba. Len really goes off on it in his crabby way. He seems to greatly disagree with both Bruno and Carrie Ann.
Scores 9+7+9 = 25 (Len really didn't like it)
Brooke & Derek do the foxtrot. They look back at last week and her "failed" Rhumba. She too is dealing with a foot injury. Their rehearsals are much more positive that Susan's or Lance's during the week. This looks very classic. They were very elegant.
Judges - Carrie Ann says "wow". Len says it had so many great elements it was more than the sum of it's parts. Bruno says Gobsmacking beautiful from start to finish.
Scores 10+10+10 = 30 (Good Job there Brooke & Derek!!)
Team work. Two teams of three couple
Maurice & Cheryl, Brooke & Derek and Warren & Kym make up team Pasa Doble.
Team Cha Cha is Susan & Tony, Lance & Laci, Cody& Edyta.
Their scores will depend on the weakest dancer's score.
First ever team dance is the Cha Cha. They come out all together but then Cody & Eyta take center stage for a short bit, next Susan and Tony do some solo time and finaly lLance and Laci do their thing in the spotlight. It wraps up with the 3 teams doing their steps together but they are not in sync as well as they should be, I'm sure.
Judges say - Len says doing the routine in a formation is difficult. Says Lance and Laci saved the day for the solos. Bruno seems to feel the same. Carrie Ann says the unison was terrible. But Lance and Laci did a great job.
Scores will be done by getting one over all score and that will be used for their second score of tonight.
Scores 6+7+7 = 20
They are keeping a good attitude about it.
Team Pasa Doble. Warren and Kym. do the first solo and he does very good. Next in center stage is Warren and ... who are also on. Derek and Brook do a great entended spin. Derek is such a sharp young man. Then baclk to the group which is more in unison that the other group I think. They end it well. They kicked butt on the team dance.
Judges says they looked invincable. Says they looked like a team, he loved it. Carrie Ann says they were all flawless in their solos. Len agrees but says it's easier to keep the unison in a marching dance that a cha cha. He says it was stronger and better than the other but he just wants to make the point it was a litte easier to do that with this dance.
Scores 10+9=10 = 29
This gives Brooke and Derek a great score for the evening.
Next week they will have to do two individual dances so there is a lot of work to be done.
Top is Brooke & Derek with 59. Maurice and Cheryl have 54. Warren & Kym have 50. Lance & Laci have 45. Susan & Tony with 44. Cody and Edyta at the bottom with 42.
