Week 2 of Dancing With The Stars
is in the books and overall I thought the dancing was pretty good. Quickstep
and Rumba are 2 of the more demanding dances and all the stars did a pretty
good job inspite of the difficulty. Even
Master P
seemed to have put forth a little more effort than last week, but was in my
opinion the worst of the night. This is disappointing since you would hope
that he would put his best foot forward, pardon the pun.
Lisa Rinna and
Tatum O' Neal were both a bit
disappointing this week too. I expected to see more from the both of them
after the performances they had last week. Both
ladies had trouble with their feet and are not the best when it comes to
executing
spins. I would have to give the edge to Lisa, as she is far more flexible
and had a much better command of the feeling for the Rumba.
Tia Carrere put on a great
performance this week. She is such a natural when it comes to the exotic
look that goes with the Rumba and she has a presence on the floor to make
you want to watch her.
Max Chmerkovskiy,
did the best job so far of
keeping the material under control and not putting Tia in a place to look
bad.
The Quickstep by
George Hamilton
was very entertaining, however there was not a lot of Quickstep in the
routine. I think there was enough there to get George into week 3, but it
will depend on the viewer votes.
Drew Lachey and
Jerry Rice did very good jobs with
their Quicksteps too. I thought Jerry had a better grasp on the dance, but
Drew had a bit more energy. The Quickstep is a tough dance when you use the
basic steps that the dance is associated with. It is much easier to do a bunch of hopping and skipping than it
is to dance some of the steps that Jerry danced, but Drew had a bit more life
than Jerry.
By far the best performances of
the night came from
Stacy Keibler and
Giselle Fernandez. Both ladies
had a strong and definite hip motion, but the biggest difference was that
they looked like they were enjoying the dance. The performance quality was
great. Stacy had a bit better leg
and foot actions so I would have to give the top spot to her.
Now comes the guessing game.
Will Master P
get enough votes from the viewers to be dancing in week 3?
If I had to say, I would pick Master P
and
George Hamilton
to be the top candidates to be knocked off this week, but it all will come
down to the viewers votes.
We will just have to wait and
tune in to ABC on Friday night for the results.
