First off let me
say that the music tonight was better than
it has been in a few weeks. Way to go ABC!
The dancing was
very nice this week. All the couples put on
great performances and the professional
dances were very a great way to kick the
show off. Now on to the picks.
I felt that
Jerry had the weakest performance overall.
His dancing was not to bad, but he des not
command the audience or have the same amount
of showmanship as the other dancers. Jerry
has made great progress in his dancing, but
the Paso Doble was not his strongest dance
in my opinion.
George Hamilton
is such a showboat. He loves the attention
of being in the spotlight and has a great
connection with Edyta. His timing was a bit
off in week 6 when he was dancing the solo
parts of the Rumba, but his routine was
nicely choreographed and kept him dancing
just enough to avoid standing around while
Edyta dances around him. I think that George
just barley beat Jerry, now we have to see
how the viewers vote.
Lisa Rinna
danced much better with the Quickstep then
she was dancing the Waltz. She still has
trouble with the top line, but her movements
were bright and fluid. She knows how to ham
it up on the dance floor, but I do not think
it will be enough to put her over the top.
Then we had the
10s.
I really felt
that Drew and Cheryl deserved the 10s they
got this week. Drew did a much better job
with his dance hold and did a fine Tango. He
got a little back with a few of his pivots,
but his was by far the best of the Tangos we
have seen in the competition and the best on
the night in my opinion.

The Jive that
Stacy and Tony danced was pretty good, but I
didn't think it was good enough for another
30. The material was put together very well,
but Stacy was a bit sloppy with some of the
basic actions. Her dance background gives
her a big advantage over the rest of the
field, but I do not think she is a shoe in
to win the trophy. It all will come down to
which dance they draw in the final weeks.
It will be
interesting to see how it plays out.
Who will go in
week 6?
