Re: Damages!
If Mel's the real deal, she'll pull of the rumba. Like I said last week, this is a tough dance that tends to separate the real dancers from the people who'll miss the finals. At first, I thought Mel got cheated by wardrobe, but then I saw the right side of her dress, or the lack thereof. That was a great dance. I'm sure Katy will be happy and wishing she was Carrie Ann. I was a little let down by Mel. I figured that since the boy band members did so well, she'd be a ringer. Now she's living up to her potential. A well earned perfect score.
Well, Marie had been the person I've wanted to leave tomorrow, but Jane dropped the ball. Paso doble should actually be a decent dance for Marie since she can use her showmanship. However, I don't think her posture will be up to snuff. Paso posture is extremely difficult. Yeah. She wasn't anywhere close to where she needed to be in the brief periods when she was in a connected frame. I have to agree with Carrie Ann that it was uncomfortable seeing her lying on the floor again. I think this routine was too much skirt twirling and not enough dancing. I think her 23 was fair.
Helio goes last once again, and he got a great dance for him: cha cha. This should allow him to be rhythmic and smiley and sexy and fun. LOL. I love his "Vote For Helio" shirt. Ooooooh. Very nice recovery, Helio. He has some of the best cha cha lock steps of any star ever, which is great, because he certainly used a lot of them. He was looking smooth and working the body rolls. I think his 28 was low. He was pushing perfection here.
It's hard for me to judge the group dance, because the group dance is always all the swing steps I hate, done with styling I hate, to music I hate. That said, I have to give Cameron some props, since his aerial was clearly the toughest, and I have to deduct from Sabrina, since her solo was clearly the easiest. Her partner basically just jumped over her rather than the other way around.
