It's Ladies Night!
(DWTS Week 1 Part 2 Recap)
(DWTS Week 1 Part 2 Recap)
The SECOND night of DWTS Season Premiere opened with the lady pro dancers moving to "She's a Lady!" Following the opening number, we moved to Big Tom and Sammy Harris who welcomed us to the show and WHAT THE HECK?? Sammy's hair style is some short do. Did she get it cut or is it just a wig? (Hmmm. Hair Judges score? 4.)
First couple to dance on Night Two was Debi Mazar and Mad Maks. In Debi's intro we learn that she is an actress who plays a lot of strong female leads and is best known for some character she plays on the cable show, "Entourage." (She's gonna have to be strong to put up with Mad Maks. Heh!) Rehearsal footage showed Debi and Max practicing the Salsa and Maks discovered to his chagrin that Debi? Is a Chatty Cathy. I mean, seriously, the woman would NOT stop talking during rehearsal. (Shut up and just dance already!) During their performance Debi looked okay but she did stumble at one point and looked nervous so not so good I'm thinking. Len said Debi was missing the hip action (Kinda important for a Salsa) and needs to work harder but has potential. Bruno liked that Debi could work her bazooms. (Hmm. Between Mark's man boobs and Debi's bazooms, DWTS seems to be focused on the chestal area this season.) However, Bruno went on to say that Debi's timing was off and her footwork not good. Carrie Ann said Debi lacked a connection between the character and the dance and Debi was too worried about remembering her steps. (If Debi had kept her mouth closed more during rehearsal she might have paid better attention to the steps she needed to learn. Sheesh!) SCORE: 16
Next up was Melissa Joan Hart and Mark dancing the Viennese Waltz. Melissa is best known for playing Sabrina the Teenage Witch so we'll have to see if she can work any magic on the dance floor this season. The Rehearsal footage showed that Melissa is NOT a natural dancer and she has huge deltoids so that will be a problem. I guess. Anyway, they dance the Viennese Waltz and Melissa's dress is lovely and she seems to flow nicely throughout the routine. Wasn't the best waltz ever, but wasn't all that bad. Bruno said she was prim, proper, and adequate throughout but her shoulders tended to rise up and spoil her lines. (Curse those HUGE shoulders!!) Carrie Ann liked how Melissa created some real moments (Were they magical?) during the routine but felt Melissa wasn't connected to the music. Len hated the start cause he's a big stick in the mud about romantic theme story messing about, but thought Melissa had some good holds and movement though the footwork was poor. SCORE: 18
Mya and Dmitry were next also dancing the Viennese Waltz. Mya is a singer with some dance experience and in the Rehearsal footage we learned that Mya was glad Dmitry was her partner cause he's . . . cute. (Mya would do well with Aaron Carter. Just saying. Snort!) Mya quickly realized during Rehearsal ballroom is a LOT tougher than she thought. As they performed the Viennese Waltz is appeared that Mya had good timing and some nice lines and was graceful. Also, nice dress. Carrie Ann thought Mya set the bar for the night among the ladies as Carrie Ann thought her waltz was gorgeous. Len basically kicked Dmitry's hiney for the lack of their routine being an actual VIENNESE Waltz. I mean, I thought Len was gonna have a coronary LIIIIIVE on national television he got so worked up about it. I loved how Bruno immediately verbally attacks Len and it would have been HI-larious if the two of them went at each other physically wrestling each other to the ground. Bruno defended the Mya and Dmitry's routine by saying it was artistry in motion and that Bruno loved it. Big Tom made an amusing jab at Len when he asked Len if he had been to three bars tonight. Hee! SCORE: 21
The next pair of dancers for the evening were Kathy Ireland and Tony. During Kathy's intro footage saw the classic Sports Illustrated cover shots and then we saw a picture of Kathy overweight and YIKERS!!! Anyway, Kathy looks really good now and next to Tony I could tell that Kathy is tall. The Rehearsal footage showed that Kathy has little to NO dance experience and she struggled with her hips learning the Salsa. Oh, my. This didn't bode well. During her performance her timing was off and there wasn't a lot of hip action. So it wasn't absolutely horrible, but it wasn't great. Boy, she is tall. Len thinks Kathy has potential but that she lacked energy and was too controlled for the Salsa. Bruno said Kathy didn't sell it with too little hip action and not enough SEX in the routine. Carrie Ann agreed that Kathy needs to loosen up and move and just let go. SCORE: 16
Natalie Coughlin and Alec were next dancing the Salsa. Natalie is an eleven time Olympic Medal winner in swimming. In the Rehearsal footage was saw Natalie getting frustrated when she doesn't get the footwork right away cause she's an athalete and should get a gold medal in dancing right from the start. (Just kidding. But she is a competitor and hard on herself) Also, Natalie needs to relax her face. It's too scary looking when she's concentrating. During the performance she appeared to have some nice movement at times, but needed more sexy hip action and she didn't flow real well. She did smile though which helped. Bruno dubs Natalie the Million Dollar Mermaid which . . . yeah. Whatever Bruno. Basically told her little except that she could be really good. Carrie Ann said that Natalie is a diamond in the rough and could be awesome. Len explained to Natalie that the Salsa is sexy and steamy and that Natalie was too plain and not hot enough. SCORE: 19
Following Natalie was Macy Grey and Jonathan. In the Intro footage, Jonathan, who I dubbed "Donny 2.O" when he was partnered with Marie Osmond, said that last season he went home early and so this season he's working overtime. (Umm, does Macy know this plan, Donny 2.0?) During the Rehearsal footage we discovered that Macy has NO experience with ballroom dancing and she has NEVER heard of the Viennese Waltz. The rest of the footage confirms that Macy . . . can't really dance. (Uh, oh. Donny 2.0? A LONG run on this season is beginning to evaporate, dude.) Jonathan admitted that Macy is a bit eccentric at times. (She's whacked, dude! Seriously.) As they dance the Viennese Waltz, I have to give Macy props for trying to do the dance well. Unfortunately, she lacked grace, rhythm, foot work, and at times looked lazy out on the dance floor with her arms, etc. Afraid the judges comment could be rough. Carrie Ann started off the comments by saying that Macy was fascinating to watch but her footwork? Carrie Ann couldn't even go there. Carrie Ann also said it was beautiful to watch in its own bizarre way. Len said Macy showed a real vulnerability and charm and if he was at home we would have voted for Macy. (Oooookaaaay. Whatever) Bruno cracked me up with his whole "like a child taking its first steps into a scary world" routine, but did say that Macy would need to work on her technique. During the Backstage time with Sammy (Her hair I find troublesome. Just saying.), Sammy interviews Macy about being on DWTS and Macy replied with a comment that had to be censored out which TOTALLY cracked up Carrie Ann and Bruno's face was just priceless. SCORE: 15
Joanna Krupa (Kroo-pa) and Derek followed that performance with the Salsa. She's a model but has had some dancing experience when she was younger. Joanna thinks its a dream come true being on DWTS. Derek did this "I'm rough, I'm tough, I'm Derek Hough" and then laughs at himself. (Heh. You're a funny one, Derek.) Their salsa was a model performance and Joanna showed herself to be in it to win it. Len called it a hot, smoking Salsa. Bruno said, "What a specimen. That's what a Salsa should be!" I liked how he gave kudos to Derek for the choreography. Carrie Ann also called Joanna's salsa routine HOT and Joanna's confidence could take her all the way. SCORE: 24.
Kelly Osborn and Louis van Amstel were our last Ladies celebrity couple to dance for the evening. (Thank GOODNESS!) Kelly, who is the daughter of rocker Ozzy Osborne, the Prince of Darkness, wonders if she pull off the ladylike dancing she needs to do. (Hint: DON'T bite the heads off of bats while out on the dance floor like dear ole daddy used to do in concert.) Louis goes to see Kelly at the Osbourne home and is meet at the door by Ozzy himself. Ozzy doesn't know who the heck Louis is or DWTS and mumbles something and then YELLS, "Sharon!" Hee! From the Rehearsal footage we saw that Kelly doesn't know much about dancing and she is honest enough to call her dancing ability as crap. Oh, and she hates sweating. As they danced the Viennes Waltz, Kelly showed real grace, flow, and a joy for the dance that quite frankly surprised me. (Well done, rocker's daughter!) Bruno said she is the wild child rock princess who was transformed into a vision of grace and elegance. Carrie Ann said Kelly's performance gave her chills. However, Kelly's foot came off the floor in the lift so . . . and Len said it was the best Viennese Waltz of the night. Everyone's a weepy mess.
SCORE: 23
First couple to dance on Night Two was Debi Mazar and Mad Maks. In Debi's intro we learn that she is an actress who plays a lot of strong female leads and is best known for some character she plays on the cable show, "Entourage."
