Dancing with the Stars: Special Guests Galore (5/2/11)

This week was the popular team dance night On top of that there were special guest instructors and a guest judge who are legends in the business. That being said we get right into it....

The group dances were pretty even so I'm not going to comment on them like I normally would. They were more fantastic in their own ways and even got the same score.

Chelsea/Mark, Ralph/Karina, Romeo/Chelsie
Dance: Cha-Cha
Song: Born This Way
Judge's Score: 30

Hines/Kym, Kendra/Louis, Kristie/Maksim
Dance: Cha-Cha
Song: We R Who We R
Judge's Score: 30

Onto the core of the show. Their judges score will be combined with the group dance and I will list those scores as we go through.

Chelsea/Mark
Dance: Quickstep
Judge's Score: 34 (64)
My Rating: 4.5
Thoughts: Very dark for them. Loved it. Very cool. She can be evil.

Kendra/LouisDance: Tango
Judge's Score: 31 (61)
My Rating: 3.5
Thoughts: This was by far the hardest dance they have all season. I know that was done by design but it just didn't work for me. Too slow and seemed like she was thinking WAY too much.

Kristie/Maksim
Dance: Jive
Judge's Score: 30 (60)
My Rating: 4
Thoughts: #1, Kristie made ALOT of women jealous by kissing Max at the beginning of this dance. #2, too much acting at the beginning for my tastes. BUT once they picked up the pace it was really good.

Ralph/Karina
Dance: Quickstep
Judge's Score: 36 (66)
My Rating: 5
Thoughts: They are back! This was really fantastic! Loved the gimmick and loved when they went into the crowd. This was so awesome. It's about time too. I was getting worried about them.

Hines/Kym
Dance: Tango
Judge's Score: 36 (66)
My Rating: 5
Thoughts: Very traditional. I liked that. Traditional music and pace. Seriously Hines can steal this show if he keeps up this pace. Very well done.

Romeo/Chelsie
Dance: Samba
Judge's Score: 30 (60)
My Rating: 3.5
Thoughts: With that campfire I can see why they went last. I actually expected better from these two. He seemed like he was trying too hard but she looked amazing. So I'm torn.

Should Go Home: Romeo/Chelsie
Could Go Home: Kristie/Maksim

Tough Enough: Strike Three (5/2/11)

This week on Tough Enough the theme was about teamwork. Even I had to ask what does teamwork have to do with a indiviual competition but then I almost sounded as green as most of the cast. That might have had to do with the early hour I was watching the show.

First we had a very very difficult obstacle course which almost killed the competititon, but worked for what it was supossed to. Then Rey Mysterio was in the ring waiting for them when they got inside to talk about the struggles and tribulations of being a small wrestler in the business. No matter how many times you hear him talk about it, it's nice to hear. I have always and will always respect that man.

Then we had the first official injury of the season. Ivelisse tore her hamstring because she was going full steam, like she was supossed to, through Christina's legs when she was performing a leapfrog. Christina dropped back down too soon and land up on Ivelisse's head and she landed wrong. Luckily she was okay...for now.

Can I say that they was nothing funnier this week than watching a bunch of dwarfs totally kick the wrestlers' asses in basketball? I'm not sure how that was a life lesson but it was damn funny.

Onto the skills competition. Martin stood tall for the third week in a row as the last man standing.

Bottom 3

• Ryan
• Christina
• Luke

I'll admit seeing Luke in the bottom three was VERY surprising. But watching Stone Cold put him in his place was worth the price of admission. Christina I expected, especially after the injury. I still don't get how she can have dancing and cheerleading experience and NOT be able to perform a leapfrog. She's in trouble if she doesn't improve soon.

Eliminated: Ryan

Well Stone Cold said it perfectly, three strikes you're out. Two weeks in a row someone got eliminated under that logic and it's totally fair. There should be no reason if you think you are so good than you should be in the bottom three, three weeks in a row.
