We go to [i]full coverage[/i] as our stars, on two nights, have to take on [i]four[/i], count 'em, [i]FOUR[/i] dances! The first night, though, is [i]very[/i] important, as it includes the dance that can make or break a champion, the [i]freestyle[/i]! So here comes the action! [i]ROUND ONE: INDIVIDUAL DANCES[/i] Traditionally, in this round, the judges pay a call on the finalists to give them some helpful advice for their last routines! [b]Ricki and Derek[/b] got a visit from Carrie-Ann to help them prepare their cha-cha-cha; she encouraged her, "Let the old Ricki go...make that audience [i]yours[/i]" The dance, set to "Yeah 3x," came out sharp, with great hip-swiveling action. I liked her footwork, and the ending was slightly wacky on the timing, but it still worked! Len called it "action-packed," and praised her timing, rhythm, and hips: "A dance deserving of the final!" Bruno praised her for "running at full steam...You've never been hotter and sexier!" He did have a bit about the slight lack of fluidity. "You are looking fierce! You were [i]LIVING[/i] the dance!" said Carrie-Ann. She thought her arms got "confused" a bit, but proclaimed, "Confidence at its best!" [b]Scores: CAI 9, LG 9, BT 9, Total 27[/b] Bruno dropped by to help [b]Rob and Cheryl[/b] work on their waltz, encouraging Rob to pump his chest out and walk like a prince. He thought Rob could come out with something great and kill this dance, and the dance itself, to "It Is You (I Have Loved)," did not disappoint. He was in excellent sync when in hold, but may have messed up a bit in the sequence where they separated; he showed good lines and a very elegant finish. "You were flowing and you were glowing!" crowed Bruno, who praised the continuity of lines but pointed out some missed footwork on the crossovers. Carrie-Ann called him "the male version of Cinderella who made it to the ball!" Len praised the hold and posture, and said it had "more rise and fall than Pam Anderson jogging." (He would know, having observed Pam's dancing in a previous season.) He thought it got a bit heavy in places, but it was "simple but simply beautiful." [b]Scores: CAI 9, LG 9, BT 9, Total 27[/b] And, for the cha-cha-cha, [b]J.R. and Karina[/b] got some help from DANCMSTR Len, especially in the butt! ([i]Get your mind out of the gutter!!![/i] :D ) The song was "Let's Get Loud," but the dance seemed uncharacteristically subdued for J.R.; his hip action was a little more subtle than I would expect, and he may still have been favoring the ankle a bit. Carrie-Ann noted, "Everyone loves you, they fall in love with your spirit," but had to ding him for dancing ahead of the music, and told him to watch his arms. Len thought the solo part was brave, but the dance wasn't that good overall, being off time and having a lot of mistakes: "Your enthusiasm got the better of you." Bruno, though, loved the mood they set, "like a sultry night in Havana!" He thought his hands were a bit out of place at the start, but that the intensity came through and he [i]nailed[/i] the character. [b]Scores: CAI 8, LG 7, BT 9, Total 24[/b] [i]...continued next post...[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
