ROFL Escapee! That's exactly it! Continuing on that that train of thought... we know how that ended, so MAYBE there's hope for Holly!

Neither Holly nor Denise seemed to be aware of their bodies. Since their bodies are their "work" I was really surprised at that. And neither one could dance. After the weeks of training they'd had, I would've expected they'd have learned by now how to place their feet or how to dance without bending their knees. Body awareness, or lack thereof, though, likely has a lot to do with that. Watching both women dance was very uncomfortable for me.

Well, Costa, apparently mattress dancing and ballroom dancing don't require the same moves....roflmao.

I am glad Steve-O will get some more time, I thought he looked very promising the first week, was really surprised by his performance. I would like to see how he can do if not hurt.

To me it seemed like Denise was walking the steps rather than dancing ... it kinda bugged me ...

Holly really hasn't had all that long to learn to dance...she only started a week before the first show. Not defending her but I would think that the other teams still have an advantage.

LOL, I only watched Maks dance and ooolala! That one move where he did the three steps on one leg, his other leg behind him? Oh my! I sure hope we get to see him dance some more on the elimination nights. Denise and Holly were way too stiff, but I give them both kudos for coming on the show, takes guts.

LMAO Escapee! True, that!!! I forgot about Holly starting late. OK, so I'll give her some credit. But presumably, it's been at least three weeks now, yes? By now she should've learned how to fake it if nothing else! I'm not so sure I give any kudos just for appearing on the show. After all, they did say yes. If they didn't want to do it, there's a simple two-letter word. Of course, I think both Holly and Denise are really pulling a "I need to publicize myself" thing (doesn't Denise have a second season of her E show coming up, and now that Holly has bailed on Hef, she needs to become famous on her own). So I don't give them much credence for just appearing, since I totally suspect ulterior motives (besides any cash $$ I mean! ).

I mean from the embarrassing themselves point of view. It's all over their faces.

By the way, I thought both professional dances were awesome last night. Karina was marvelous in the Hall and Oates (LOVE H&O) piece and Edyta and Alec (Alex?) were awesome with the other lady (Adele?). It was cool seeing how comfortable they were and intimate...they are a wonderful couple.

I thought that the choreography on Denise's dance was icky - what WAS that move where it was like he was forcing her rear end up in the air? Very awkward looking and frankly, puzzling.

Thanks for the advance warning about Dmitry doing the Tango next week, I will make sure to have a glass of cold water nearby to cool the sizzle

I loved the choreography in Denise's dance, just not the way she did it.

I tried to look up thread to see if anybody commented and I didn't see anything similar, so I hope this is not a repeat. Did anyone notice when Steve-O received his scores and looked so defeated that you could see Gilles in the background holding up his hand with the call sign, asking people to vote for Steve-O. I already liked Gilles so much, but how endearing that he felt bad for Steve-O and was actually asking the audience to vote for him.

Alisons - I noticed that awkward lift-thing that Denise and Maks did in both performances. The Mon show I thought it was a mistake, but they did the same thing Tues. they must not have watched that one on tape. It looked like he was trying to lift her up to place her on an invisible platform.

Gotta add a Karina note - This was the first time I've seen her actually joyful! It was so cute when they were announced as safe and she squealed with delight! Then when she pushed his belly to make him giggle - my goodness, she DOES has a human side!!

I think Holly will improve, if she stays long enough. The others had five extra weeks to learn proper posture and extensions and all that before they started getting the different dance styles thrown at them. Holly's learning as she goes. What concerned me more was when her partner seemed to feel she wasn't taking it seriously enough. Then again it's his first season, too, so maybe he's just expecting too much. Very good choices for the two dances next week, except maybe having Steve-O do the Lindy Hop when he's probably still hurting. That may be a recipe for disaster. What's interesting is how the people you think would be good at the Latin dances turn out to be better at smooth. Denise was a perfect example. Even Shawn, who you'd think would be better at Latin if only because of her youth, is much better at the "grown-up" smooth dances.

on one of those Access/ET/Inside? shows - Billy Bush actually talked about the Denise Maks tension - behind the scenes, Maks just couldnt relate to Denise, and Denise was acting so like a "victim" - or just fearful of everything, crying... he interviewed her for his radio show and said its online - I didnt go look for it - but that may account for her "facial expression" she just wasnt comfortable - and Maks couldnt relate

Bluedenim, I didnt notice that but how cool. I am going to rewatch. Thanks for pointing it out. I said last week that Woz has made Karina likeable! Something no one has done in 4 seasons! oh wait or maybe she is so cheerful cuz she is getting hot nasty love from Maks
