As far as the dancing goes, I will reiterate my criticism of having males compete against females and then doing different dances. It’s a bit like comparing apples to oranges.
I don’t know the rules, but I’m wondering if each couple gets to choose their dance. Now most women celebrities would choose the tango because it’s a woman’s dance and they want to showcase their sexuality. But Rinna does not ooze sexuality in the way that Tia and Giselle do. The Jive suited her much better and it showed.
Jerry Rice, on the other hand, should have chosen the tango IMO. I think his height would have worked to his advantage then. It’s painful to watch a tall, stocky man dance the Jive. Though, to be honest, I thought he’d do much better on The Jive than he did. He seemed very, very tight and out of rhythm. He definitely wasn’t feeling the music.
Tia did great. I can’t decide whether her Russian partner, Maksim, is incredibly sexy or incredibly arrogant. He’s a puzzle. And good for her for losing 20 pounds. She’s a beautiful woman no matter what.
Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. I try hard to put aside my petty irrational contempt for her but I just can’t. She’s a nice enough lady, I suppose, and very spunky. It’s so wrong of me to hate her for her lips. She does have an incredible body, FWIW. But I think she’ll be next to go after Jorge Hamilton. She’s an athlete, no doubt, but not very graceful. She’d be better suited in a cheerleading competition.
Drew - the poor guy. I can’t look at him without thinking about his better looking older brother. Too bad he isn’t about 6 inches taller…nonetheless, the dude can dance and he’s always fun to watch. He and his partner make cute partners. He’s from Cincinnati so I’m pulling for him. (Hey, we need a winner in this town.)
George - well, he just oozes charm. And it’s silly of me not to have realized that he has Argentinian blood in him. That would somewhat explain the perpetual tanned look, though why he chose such an anglo-saxon name is beyond me. He’d be far sexier if he were Antonio Carrera or something like that. In any event, he’s exhausted his talents, I think, and will be the next to go.
Stacy is just breathtakingly beautiful and graceful and I could watch her and Tony dance all night. I just cannot wrap my mind around the fact that she used to be a wrestler.
Giselle - I think she consistently performs well and she’s immensely likeable. I’m jealous of her legs.
**Master P ** - I don’t know why Len had to be so freaking mean to him. It was obvious the dude sucked. Instead of lambasting him, he should have held his tongue so he could part with dignity. With the judge being so openly brutal to him (“It’s time for you and this show to part company.”), it made me feel really sorry for him. ARGH! Now people will undoubtedly be motivated to give him another round of pity votes to make up for Len’s cruelty. Which would be bad because he is, without a doubt, the first black boy I’ve ever seen who has zero rhythm.
I do give him bonus points for having the worst excuse EVER! Even better than Tatum’s “I’m just an actress.” whine. He sucked, folks, because his grandma’s sister died. :rolleyes:
