DWTS Week 3 - Let the speculation begin!

It will be interesting to see what Corky will come up with to make Cloris do well.... If the dance is jive I imagined will be a tough task.

A nice slow bluesy jive...or a simple rhythm swing ;)

We have a man at my studio...the most loveable 91-year old who started dancing after having some heart problems a couple of years ago. Anyway, he did V. Waltz in a showcase the other day...they slowed it down a bit and did a lot of Smooth arms and swaying in place to avoid too much rotating around the floor. I was way nervous watching...and way proud when he finished. FWIU he'll be competing in an upcoming local comp...can't wait to cheer him on!

The couples dancing jive:
Maurice & Cheryl
Cloris & Corky
Cody & Julianne
Susan & Tony
Misty & Maksim

The couples dancing Viennese waltz:
Lance & Lacey
Toni & Alec
Brooke & Derek
Rocco & Karina
Warren & Kym


Cloris is definitely at a disadvantage; I would also say that Rocco is too (he tends to do better at the Latin dances as opposed to the smooth ones), and probably Susan (she seems better at the smooth than the Latin). Lance & Lacey could be in trouble too...just because they seem disinclined to follow any sort of rules :mad:
 
Predictions for this evening's events -

*There will be a more-dramatic-than-necessary video clip chronicling both Misty & Derek's injuries...Maks will muster up as much on-camera concern as his machismo will allow for Misty (which prolly isn't a lot), and Brooke will come across as a teary-eyed, nurturing mother figure as she rushes to Derek's side. America will swoon.

*Lance & Lacey will buck tradition yet again, and will perform a dance faintly resembling a Viennese waltz. Len will rant even harder...and his head very well may explode this time.

*Cody & Julianne will dance the best jive; Toni & Alec will dance the best Viennese.

*Brooke & Derek won't score as high this week as they did last week.

*Cloris will be back to her usual outspoken ways, with the knowledge that she isn't going anywhere this week.

Ok i am sick of Len dishing Lacey.. He is determined to hate her no matter what she does.. I found last nights waltz boring and plain.. Not her style at all...
Perhaps i am the only one that likes her but i think she is a breath of fresh air to that show.. She shows people that ballroom is not all stuffy old people dancing to big band music...
Perhaps Lacey is dancing to the same drum i dance too.. Enough already..

I am also sick of Len drooling over Brooke, in his eyes she can do nothing wrong! The judges have always been inconsistent (IMHO) from day 1 of season 1 and it continues this season.

Yeah, I think it's good to show a ballroom person that's a little different from the others.:)

The show itself, which has pros and competitors alike starting at age 18 (not to mention the little kids who have come and danced on previous seasons), shows that ballroom is not all stuffy old ppl dancing to big band music. The problem is that what you saw last night IS ballroom. If you find it boring and plain, perhaps smooth/standard ballroom just does not appeal to you? Len's main issue is that the majority of what Lacey did the other weeks was not ballroom steps. Usually the pros try to mix alot of actual steps in with some open work that showcases the celebrity and their personality. Instead, Lacey just showcased her celebrity's personality and had very few actual ballroom steps. It was like her going to a ballet competition and doing only a few ballet steps and the majority of her dance being hip hop or jazz. Not exactly what a judge would be looking for if one was doing a ballet competition. Likewise, this is a ballroom dancing show. What is the point of being on the show if, when you are asked to perform a specific dance, you go out there and dance something totally different just because it fits you better? A judge in any type of competition would dislike it if you did not present to them what you were asked to present.
