Commercials. I’m really hoping Miss Guided is good! Judy Greer is super cool and funny and she’s from Detroit, too!
And we’re back! In the audience, Marissa Jaret Winokur has not stopped smiling once, and it’s scaring me a bit.
Cristian de la Fuente (pronounced Cris-ti-an rather than like the religion) is Latino, in case you hadn’t heard. He wants to bring romance back to dancing. I really don’t think it’s lacking that element, dude, but I guess that’s gonna be your “thing” so go for it. Upon meeting Cheryl, he says he’s only ever used dance as a “tool of seduction”. I feel like he’s just a much hotter Ricardo Montalban at this moment. He then laments the fact that he’s Chilean rather than Brazilian, since his country is only know for sea bass and wine. Didn’t you forget the Awesome Blossom? (I know, not that funny, but I’m leaving it in anyway!) When they dance, Cheryl works her ass off doing the cha cha cha while Cristian just looks at her and tries not to fall down, I think. He’s trying and he’ll likely improve, but he’s not there yet. The hip action isn’t bad, and I do know enough to be aware that is harder than it looks. They do have chemistry, however, which Carrie Anne points out once she stops swooning. Bruno then says, “She bangs! You have to bang as hard as she does! We’re going to be on top of you until you do so!” Tom sends the kids to bed. I once again direct your attention to the aforementioned Elton John video. Bruno kills me, y’all. All Len can do, as Tom begs him to rescue us from the gutter, is tell Cristian to watch his posture.
