Big name ballroom dancers help coach the various teams this week. These are clearly people that the pros idolize, which is cool. And one of them is Mark’s mom! Man, there are more dancing Ballases than Houghs these days.
OK, time for some individual dances!
Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas (64/80) – Hey, they’re doing a paso doble. My favorite! Chelsea has a problem making angry faces, as you’d expect. Mark’s mom, Shirley, stops by for advice and to tell Mark to stand up straight. I feel like it would be weird to have your mom tell you to be more passionate.
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.
