Season 15, Week 1
Kym &
Joey – These two are hilarious and so much fun to watch. I wasn’t completely impressed with Joey’s
dancing, but I definitely want to see more.
Also, as someone who sequins things, I can say with confidence that Joey’s
glitter jacket was a serious masterpiece! 1 vote.
Shawn &
Derek – Pa chow! This dance was lively,
fun, bright and energetic . Quite
frankly, I wanted to be Shawn Johnston during this entire routine. I think this dance set the tone for the rest
of the evening – these two are in it to win it! 3 votes.
Sabrina &
Louis – Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeechless. I may
or may not have Cha Cha-ed in my living room while this team wasdancing. It’s still shocking Sabrina was cut back in ’07,
but tonight she proved that she is absolutely a mirror ball contender. 3 votes.
Helio &
Chelsie – Before I even get to the dance, can I just give Chelsie 1,000 points
for having the best dress? If that was
in my closet I would wear it everyday. Now,
to the dance. I think these two have a
great vibe. They are polished and
driven, but they aren’t so serious they forget to enjoy themselves. This dance was fun and beautiful – kind of
like how I think they will end up being when all is said and done. 1 vote.
Pamela
& Damian – I found this dance to be… interesting. I don’t think it was entirely coincidence the
lyrics in the song said “you know I’m no good.”
I completely agree with Bruno – she needs to work harder, especially
with this group of all-stars. Early
prediction: She’s not in it to win it.
No votes.
Tony and
Melissa – These two are just the cutest – I love that they’re getting a second
chance. “Hey Big Spender” was such a fun
number to start with (of course, Broadway always wins the day!). Fun, flirty and worth 1 vote.
Apolo and
Karina – Party Rockers in the House Tonight is a complete and total
understatement! These two brought their A game and so much fun (and not just
because they were in neon, but yes, that too).
Apolo is a true competitor and with Karina’s firey spirit, these two could
be tough to beat. 1 vote.
Gilles and
Peta – Be still my heart - Oh Gilles. So
handsome. I loved this vintage and
classic Foxtrot. Everything about this
dance was sophisticated and well thought out, especially for a week one number. Beautiful and sweet – 1 vote.
Bristol &
Mark – Two points for Bristol not being in a Gorilla suit to start the
show. All kidding aside, she’s looking
good and much more confident than she was the last time we saw her. It was almost like she was a whole new
person. I was kind of impressed at this
transformation. I’m completely with
Carrie-Ann – she is definitely the most improved. Look out Pamela, Bristol’s on your tail! No votes (I don’t have enough to just be
throwing around!).
Drew & Anna – Anna ‘tough love’ Trebuskya and Drew ‘save a horse’ Lachey. I feel as though this is one of the
strangest matches of the season, but so far it seems to be working. One thing that might hold these two back is
the fact Drew is a bit whimsical and Anna’s game-face is so strong I don’t know
if they’ll end up having fun or just wanting to leave glass in the toes of each
other’s shoes. No votes.
Kelly & Val – I’ll be honest in saying I’ve never been Kelly’s biggest fan. That said, I thought she rocked the Cha Cha,
especially since she’s never done it before.
Interestingly, because season one was so short, she actually has less
Dancing with the Stars experience than someone like Bristol. I don’t know how that will play out in the
long run, but for now, I think she and Val have a solid foundation from which
to build. It’s just too bad I don’t like
either of them that much… . No votes.
Kirstie & Maks – Kirstie’s eggplant coloured dress was just lovely. For me, that was probably the highlight of
this routine. It was a little lackluster
and a hint boring… in my opinion. Now,
the Tom Bergeron kiss definitely kicked things up a bit. It’s just too bad that wasn’t part of the
routine. No votes.
Emmitt
& Cheryl – I’ve always loved Emmitt in a jewel-toned shirt (and matching
emerald shoes!), so tonight really didn’t disappoint. This Cha Cha proved why this dynamic duo won
their first mirror ball. It was smooth,
fun and so polished without looking too practiced. What a great performance! 2 votes.
My Top 4:
- Shawn and Derek
- Sabrina and Louis
- Gilles and Peta
- Emmitt and Cheryl
My Bottom 2:
- Pamela and Damian
- Bristol and Mark
