Wendy Williams (14/30) – As big fans of The Soup, both Myndi and I have been crazy excited about Wendy. She talks about how she’s “too much, too loud, and too fast”, which makes her perfect for Tony Dovolani. When they meet, he has to introduce himself, because apparently Wendy is not a regular viewer. Oh man, she is as tall as Tony. She says she cries to release stress, which is going to make for some really dramatic rehearsal clips all season.
Wendy and Tony dance the Cha Cha to “I’m Every Woman”. It’s a little slower than you might expect, and her footwork is tentative and sloppy. But her extensions are great, and she’s putting all kinds of excitement into it – she’s got good hip action in week one. I like the big, bold movements, but her feet just aren’t good. If you just look at her feet, she looks like she’s shuffling around without rhythm.
