Their dance is the Quickstep, and Karina is dressed like a flapper. Ralph is wearing a suit and a fedora, and there’s a bar set up on the riser. Like, an alcohol bar. Not some other kind of bar that I can’t think of right now. I actually really like this – there’s a ton of personality in the dance. Most of it’s dorky, but there’s nothing wrong with that. And because of the way they keep their hold, the spatula hands aren’t a problem. This was a lot of fun! Nice and quick and theatrical. Good job!
Donnie tries to be funny and fails, but then he says the footwork this week was fabulous. Len also compliments their footwork, but thinks he needs more stability in the upper half. Bruno calls it “really, really good”. Carrie Ann gives them a “Booyah”. Huh. She’s just saying things to hear how they sound now. They get a 36, including their first 10.
The second Team Dance song was by one of my least favorite “artists” on the planet, Ke$ha. I loathe her. You were right on the first song, btw. The TRON and Mr. Rogers references were perfect (and hilarious) but I also saw shades of a latter day Barry Manilow when I looked at Donnie, also. Jinkies. I can’t believe Kendra might live another day.
I thought that Donnie was a Martin Short character. I like Romeo. I’m hoping Kendra goes.
