[QUOTE]Originally posted by Erbo: [QB] [b]WEEK 3: The Most Memorable Year of Your Lives...[/b] That's what each dance tonight has to do...tell the story of the most memorable year in each of our celebrities' lives! So let's get to the action! [b]Rob and Cheryl[/b] used the foxtrot to express Rob's feelings about when his father died in 2003. (His dad was one of O.J. Simpson's attorneys, you know?) His sync was a little off in bits, but I can tell he's improved from last week and is finding his place! Bruno said the routine, to Sinatra's "Fly Me To the Moon," reminded him of [i]Guys and Dolls[/i]...which Rob's never heard of, but [i]I have![/i] (I was one of the gangsters doing the crap-game-in-the-sewer dance number in a production of it during my junior year of high school.) (Scores: 8/8/8 = 24) For the rumba [b]Chynna and Tony[/b] did, she commemorated 1990, the year Wilson Phillips released "Hold On," by doing a dance to that very song. She bobbled a teeny bit after the really nice opening, but it was very expressinve and really stretched her boundaries. Carrie-Ann said the routine was "like butter." (I believe the song will be reissued on the Land-O-Lakes label. :D ) (Scores: 8/9/9 = 26...now the judges are starting to hand out 9's!) The happiest year of [b]Chaz's[/b] life is this one, and he and [b]Lacey[/b] commemorated it by dancing to one of his dad's songs (that'd be Sonny Bono, incidentally). But, I'm telling you, that rumba looked very, very [i]static.[/i] No real movement in it [i]at all,[/i] at least on Chaz's part. Len still called it his best dance, but I dunno...I think he's gone this week. (Scores: 6/6/6 = 18) [b]Kristin and Mark[/b] decided to commemorate 2005, the year she graduated high school and moved to L.A., with a Beyonce samba...and she can [i]shake that thang![/i] She was very light on her feet, making the dance bouncy and fun to watch. Beyonce has been successfully channeled! (Scores: 8/8/8 = 24) For [b]Carson and Anna[/b], the tango was choreographed in honor of 2003, the year [i]Queer Eye for the Straight Guy[/i] debuted and Carson really came into his own. Technically, the dance was impressive; those high kicks in unison in mid-routine were, dare I say, [i]fabulous![/i] Yet, through it all, his essential character still shone through. "You put the [i]boy[/i] in 'flamboyant'!" quipped Len. (Scores: 8/7/8 = 23) Prepare to tear up for [b]J.R. and Karina[/b] and their rumba...it recognizes 2003, the year J.R. was badly injured in Iraq, and, set to a Tim McGraw song, is dedicated to all the men and women who [i]didn't[/i] make it home. It choked [i]everybody[/i] up, especially Carrie-Ann; even Bruno was uncharacteristically subdued. Sabrina was in tears as well. Man, it sure is dusty in here. (Scores: 9/8/9 = 26) [b]Nancy and Tristan[/b] commemorated the birth of her twins in 2007--an event which almost turned into tragedy, for both Nancy and her daughter Lucy. Their waltz to "Moon River" was beautifully expressive and serene. "Like a mother's embrace," said Bruno. Carrie-Ann saw it as a live-action lullaby, with all the animals gathered around to see and hear the performance. Well, her [i]imagination[/i] scores a 10, at least... (Scores: 7/7/7 = 21) [b]Ricki and Derek[/b] had a hell of a year to tackle...2010, the year she had a messy divorce and then lost her house in a fire, but afterward, found her new love. And the rumba they did completely [i]nailed[/i] it. Sabrina, at first speechless, managed a single "Oh my [i]God![/i]" "The actress dancer at her best!" crowed Bruno. "Ricki Lake is on fire!" added Carrie-Ann, while Len offered his congratulations. I smell HIGH SCORE! (Scores: 9/9/9 = 27...high score of the season so far!) For their cha-cha-cha, [b]Hope and Maks[/b] recalled the recent Women's World Cup match, in which her team lost at the end but had one hell of a run. And this dance was one hell of a sexy run, too, starting with a bit on a chair that was, as the kids today say, HAWT, but I thought Len might not like it too much! (He didn't, but he thought the rest was great.) She might have been a teensy bit stiff still, but she brought the sexy and ran with it! (Scores: 8/8/8 = 24) And, to round it out, [b]David and Kym[/b] explored his descent into, and recovery from, alcohol abuse during 2010, focusing on his kids as what he found to help keep him sober. Their rumba seemed a little halting early on, but that might have just been the choreography. It wasn't as expressive as that of the other dancers, but Carrie-Ann called it a nice comeback. (Scores: 8/8/8 = 24) After an emotional night, Rikki and Derek once again claim the pole position with 27 points, while Chaz and Lacey strike bottom again with 18. Tomorrow night: One more couple bids us adieu! [/QB][/QUOTE]
