DWTS Season 19: Week 4

-
Welcome to Most Memorable Year night AKA Make You Cry night.

That was one of the more exciting openings. And it was actually choreographed by a ballroom dancer.

Janel. Too staccato for me. I liked the choreography but it could have been executed smoother and she could have used her hips more. A bit too high for me.

Jonathon. No bounce, no hips. Bad samba. Didn't see it from Allison either. I'll agree with the scores. On an unrelated note, his eyebrows bug me for some reason. Too thick?

Betsey. Low energy beginners east coast swing. She messed up a bit and was careful through the rest of the dance. Really slow song. I agree with the 7s.

Bethany. That didn't look much like a rumba. I saw strange hand movements and swivels. Song was fast for a rumba. Too high considering the lack of rumba.

Micheal. He got through it. But seemed very stiff. 6s were generous.

Lea. Very pretty. One or two moments she could've filled up more but that's being picky. Her ballet training came in handy with this dance. Compared to last week's 10s this wasn't in the same league. So a bit high.

Antonio. More content than Jonathon's but just as bad technique-wise. No bounce, no hips, strange body position throughout the dance. I'll give him the 7s. Just barely.

Tommy. Not the best Jive. Flat feet and mess ups galore. 7s are really generous.

Sadie. Cute in certain places but a bit odd. Could've used her hips more in the actual samba. Best samba of the night but the competition was pretty low. Not a 10, 9s are iffy.

Alfonso. Yay! That's all I have to say. I agree with the scores.

And Betsey goes home. Who's voting for Michael?

A bit of ADD

I seem to be a bit all over the place this week. Let me walk you through it. Sunday, I have declared this day to be for 'insanity'. I shall try and keep this up. So Monday, I picked up a new cross-stitch, Mystical Wizard. More on that later but here are the colors. Wednesday, I decided to work on one of my sewing projects. A 17.5" stuffed Christmas tree. I was going to make the 12" one but I had enough fabric if I ignored the included cutting diagram and got away with 1/8" less. But come Thursday, I was tired of my cross stitch. There's only so much I could take of stitching blue on blue, and mainly two colors of blue. Of course the upper left is the least interesting part color-wise of this piece. So I switched to The Accolade. I'll include the last photo I took of it (with my old phone) because I didn't get that many rows finished. But not bad for only two days.   And as today is Sunday, I worked on Insanity again. And...

Tommy. It was muddy and he seemed to forget some of it. As usual. I notice they didn't mention the break in hold during the dance. Too high. Lea. It felt careful. It could've used more power, controlled power. It felt like she was walking through it. Not worth 9s. Bethany. I liked it and her dress. I think she missed a step during a side by side but got caught up. There were moments she could've filled instead of just pausing. I don't know if it was 10s definitely 9s. Antonio. Not a lot of actual Viennese Waltz. He didn't do much. I agree with the scores. Michael. Just, no. 5s are generous. Janel. A tad slow for a Viennese Waltz. But it was interesting. A little low. Alfonso. She danced around him a lot. I didn't see too much hip action. Technique needs work. I'll give him the scores based on performance. Sadie. The character didn't work with the dance. She was too loose. I'll give them the scores. Team dances Its...
