Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy also did the samba, and got Bruno’s help in rehearsal. Kirstie’s arms weren’t as strong as they probably should be at this point and she was making that face she thinks is sexy, but isn’t, exactly. On top of that, she looked like she was too inside her own head the whole time. Bruno said a bunch of flowery stuff he wrote down hours ago, but means nothing. And then he mentioned that she was looking at the floor a lot. Carrie Ann liked her flow, but compared her to Chelsea, which is never going to help Kirstie. Carrie Ann and Len both tried to say the two female contestants are different but pointedly neglect to say that Chelsea’s just better. I suppose that’s nice of them. And, look, Kirstie’s accomplished a lot this season. She’s just not as good a dancer as the other two.(27/30)
