TOTAL: 54/60
Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (28/30)--Kirstie’s down to 1400 calories per day, which, combined with all this rehearsal, is the reason she looks so much slimmer than when she started the show. However, it’s also the reason she practically fainted a few times in practice, so maybe a couple more protein bars, huh? Anyway, was it the fastest, sharpest or sexist Argentine tango the show’s ever seen? Of course not, but it was fun, engaging and, for Kirstie, loads better than her mess of a jive last week. Kristin Chenoweth was there, and she is pleased, and thus, I was happy with it as well. Bruno stood up to give his usual crazy critique, which included points about her graceful footwork. Carrie thought the dance was inspired by their intense, dramatic real-life relationship. Len felt they captured the mood of the dance, and further said it was “hot”.
