Len says it was great overall. Bruno was impressed by the aggression and calls it a strong performance. Carrie Ann loved how connected she was to her character and talks about her upper body. Maks just looks like he’s waiting for a fight, but there is not one forthcoming. They get a 27.
Before the second dance, there’s a clip package about each star’s biographer and how their history made them such a competitor. I won’t recap any of this unless it’s surprising or hilarious. Their second dance is the Argentine Tango, and I think it’s really lovely. Brandy’s got these very assured movements that fit the Tango perfectly. There’s a neat bit where she sits on the judge’s table and then Maks lifts her on to his shoulders. It’s pretty neat.
