DWTS Season 25: Week 2 Latin night

-
Hot opening.

Nikki. No bounce, no hips. Very basic samba but not executed well. Too high. 

Victoria. I didn't see much rumba. Tricks and pauses. Too high. 

Derek. Paso by the numbers. It fell flat for me. Too high. 

Sasha. Tiny bit of bounce. Almost no hips. Too high. 

Nick. Odd song choice. He walked through it. A bit soft in execution. How does Peta have abs like that? Tad too high. 

Jordan. Probably one of the best male sambas I've seen on the show especially for week 2. Some technique was a little off (probably due to the shoes he practiced in). I agree with the scores. 

Drew. Bent knees and no hips. She danced around him. Too high. 

Debbie. I didn't feel the passion. Felt dance by numbers on her part. Too high for me. 

Vanessa. Not bad. It was clean and she used her hips for the majority of the dance. The pants were odd. I agree with the scores. 

Terrell. No hips. Flat footed. Not very good. Too high. 

Lindsey. Fun. Could've used a bit more hip movement during the basics. I agree with the scores. 

Frankie. More funk than cha cha. I think he picked up his knees a bit too much in the cha cha portion. A little too high for me. 

And leaving is Debbie. I can see why. She got a bit lost in the bigger personalities. 

Overall everyone did better last night but Latin is exposes things more then ballroom.

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...

DWTS season 19: week 7

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...
