Dancing With the Stars: The Semifinals (5/16/11)

This week was the semifinals and after 14 dances, I'm exhausted. Yes I said 14 DANCES. Insane night, but definately alot of fun. Let's get right into it.

Ralph/Karina
Dance: Argentine Tango
Judge's Score: 25
My Rating: 4
Thoughts: Sore knee and all, this was well done. Perfect no. The beginning felt straight out of West Side Story which is not a bad thing.

Kristie/Maksim
Dance: Viennese Waltz
Judge's Score: 27
My Rating: 5
Thoughts: Very elegant. I really enjoyed that. It was what deserves to be in the semifinals.

Chelsea/Mark
Dance: Argentine Tango
Judge's Score: 28
My Rating: 5
Thoughts: Very elegant and professional. It's almost like she's the pro too. Well done.

Hines/Kym
Dance: Argentine Tango
Judge's Score: 30
My Rating: 5
Thoughts: First of all after that fall and injury, I thought Kym was done. That being said that dance was great. It was crisp and clean and really emotional.

Ralph/Karina
Dance: Samba
Judge's Score: 23 (48)
My Rating: 3
Thoughts: What the hell was that? I know he's got a bad wheel but that doesn't equal a bad gimmick and bad dance. They also danced too slow for their music. Wow how the mighty have fallen.

Kristie/Maksim
Dance: Paso Doble
Judge's Score: 27 (54)
My Rating: 5
Thoughts: Well this was well done. I really enjoyed that. Nothing bad to say.

Chelsea/Mark
Dance: Rumba
Judge's Score: 30 (58)
My Rating: 5
Thoughts: I swear there are times that I have to remind myself that Chelsea isn't a pro. This is one of those times. So amazing to watch.

Hines/Kym
Dance: Salsa
Judge's Score: 30 (60)
My Rating: 5
Thoughts: Wow. Totally awesome. Do they have an off switch? I think I finally have my final two. Amazing.

Winner Takes All Cha-Cha

You know after I watched this and I had no idea how to review this or even rate it so I'm not going to. I will at least explain it. The four couples went head to head doing a cha-cha according to the way they were ranked after the first two rounds. Then the judges would pick a winner from those parings and then when it came down to final two couples, they would have the commerical break to put together another cha-cha and then go head to head. Then the winner would get 15 additional points to their score. Confused? So was I till it actually played out.

Heat 1
Ralph/Karina (4th) vs. Hines/Kym (1st)
Winner-Hines/Kym 3-0

Heat 2
Kristie/Maks (3rd) vs. Chelsea/Mark (2nd)
Winner-Chelsea/Mark 2-1

Finals
Chelsea/Mark vs. Hines/Kim

Worst Coin Toss Ever
Hines said tails, the coin lands heads yet there was confusion who won the toss. Really?

Winner-Chelsea/Mark-15 (73)

They did all that in four minutes? Holy shit! Didn't see that coming.

Will Go Home: Ralph/Karina
Could Go Home: Kristie/Maks
