And the Winner Is?

FREESTYLE!!!!!!

Finale Highlights:

Three completely different styles of freestyle. All perfect. In their own way.

What I Like About You Riker & Allison is your personal stamp of originality on every dance move.

Red Foo (not sure if I'm spelling that right) Juicy Wiggle.

Cal-i-fornia Girls.

At the Copacabana with Suzanne & Tony. Hot mess.

Lip-reading montauge that was priceless.

Robert & Kym just being happy - while dancing.

Jason Durillo a great dancer - and he sings too.

Chris & Witney being Footloose and nearly shirtless.

Andy Grammer Honey I'm Good with Nastia & Derek & Artum. One of my fav routines.

Turn the Beat Around with Rumor & Val.

Willow & Mark tripping through Wonderland.

Blooper reel.

Fifth Harmony (?) I'm Worth It (I might just be making stuff up at this point), in some rocking little black dresses.

What's with all the creepy movie preview commercials during  DWTS?

It's Going Down For Real. Seriously. Hawt!!!!

I have to go to bed. I'll find out tomorrow who won, I guess.

Oh, No It's Not! Oh, Yes It Is!

It's Dancing With The Stars Night!

Rumor & Val (waltz) A vision in white. Not an ugly duckling, a swan.

Noah & Sharna (?) Proposal!!!!! Who gives a damn about dancing.

Riker & Allison (contemporary) But really, how can he top a marriage proposal? This kid is crazy good.

Nastia & Artem (Quickstep) Looks amazing. Very animated.

It's anybody's game.

DWTS America's Choice!!!

It's the night we've (or maybe it's just me) been waiting for. Dancing With The Stars!!! Let's get to it.

Noah & Sharna - (tango) White. White. And more white. (salsa) I've said it before, I'll say it again - inspirational. Made Bruno fall out of his seat.

Chris & Witney - (contemporary) Most improved. He's in it to win it. (paso) "Room for improvement" Julianne. He just needs more experience with two women.

Riker & Allison - (waltz) Talk about emotional and amazing and powerful. Winner winner chicken dinner. (?) What? Party at Riker's. I'm there. "Hammered that #." per Carrie Anne.

Robert & Kym - (contemporary) The Kiss. (samba) Sharp dressed man.

Nastia & Sasha & Derek - (paso) Gladiator style. Killer it! Killed Sasha. (jive) Cute routine. Very clever. Brilliant. Aaaaaand perfect.

Rumor & Val - (rumba) Oh, that was the best danc eof the night. Best dance of the season - per me. 1st perfect score of the season! (paso) That girl knows what to do with two guys.

Tuesday - double elimination.

DWTS!!!!

Era's week? Fun fun fun concept.

Riker & Allison - (1920s quick step) (37/40) The band did a great job of making Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle sound like a ditty from the 1920s. Fast. Fun. Homerun!

Chris & Witney - (1940s fox trot) (31/40) I have a weakness for sailors in crackerjacks. Five Minutes More by ol' Blue Eyes. Most improved.

Rumor & Val - (1960s jive) (36/40?) Crisp, cute, clean jive. Seemed more 1950s than 1960s, in my opinion. Injury drama.

Noah & Sharna - (1970s jazz) (36/40) He's got some amazing hip action. Badass. Pimp Daddy. Player.

Robert & Kym - (1980s Tango) (31/40) He looked smashing. "Get a room dance of the night." Tom B.

Nastia & Sasha - (modern charleston) (38/40) I loved the song, the dance, the concept. "Killed it!" Julianne. Injury drama. They came and conquered.

Willow & Mark - (futuristic jazz) (37/40) Ninja style.

Quote of the week - "Get that bat away from me." Erin Andrews.

Special moments - Bruce Willis came to visit his daughter Rumor. Touching and supportive.

Side note -  Julianne's cleavage was ridiculous. If I want to see your boobs, I'll let you know.

 

TOMORROW - DWTS 10th anniversary special!!!!

America's choice next week.

SPRING FLING!!!!!

It's that time again. Dancing With The Stars spring break special!!! Why spring break? I have no idea. Who cares?

Patti and Artem - (quickstep) (29/40) "Cool by the pool", according to Len. Wardrobe malfunction. She lost her shoe.

Nastia and Derek - (tango) (34/40) He spun her like a top. I thought the song was wrong for the dance, but the wardrobe choice was thumbs up.

Willow and Mark - (salsa) (34/40) Tequila!!!! and extra ribs. I thought it was a hot mess, but the judges disagreed.

Robert and Kym - (jive) (28/40) Started out right in a 56 T-bird, the Beach Boys, high energy. Fun! Big smiles! Cutie cute couple. Her costume was a-maz-ing.

Noah and Sharna - (rumba) (29/40) Drama in practice. He's incredible. Inspirational. Enough said.

Rumor and Val - (jazz) (32/40) Bootylicious (not sure how to spell it). "It's a ballroom not a bedroom" (per Len). Deliciously raunchy.

Chris and Witney - (waltz) (31/40) Hopelessly Devoted to You. They were pretty in pink. "He wooed us all", according to Carrie Anne. Now I'm a  little afraid for Robert and Kym.

Riker and Allison - (samba) (37/40) I love this kid. Fan girl - Carrie Anne (and me too). Is he really Derek's cousin? They "joked" he was. I can really see it. Now. After being told. I'm a little slow.

*

Team Wipeout - (Yolo) (39/40) Cute costumes. "Tight, together, terrific", per Len.

Team Trouble - (39/40) Okay, I think they nailed it. Bare chests. Short skirts. What's not to love?

Dance like no one is watching.

Disney Night!!!!

It's Monday. You know what that means.

It's Dancing With The Stars night.

And it's Disney week!

 

I love DWTS. Here's the thing. Disclaimer. Don't hate me.

I'm not a fan of Disney. Not the movies. Not the music. Not the parks.

Okay, yes, I love some of the characters. Mickey, Minnie, Goofy. Have I redeemed myself?
No? Get over it. 

 

 

Suzanne & Tony (Jazz - Lady and the Tramp) (28/40) I wish my body looked as smokin' hot as hers. Jeopardy. Wardrobe malfunction. Rehearsal meltdown.

 

Robert & Kym (Quickstep - Mary Poppins) (24/40 ) How adorable are they? Out of step, timing off, still adorable. A little creepy that the cameraman was eaves dropping on their private conversation last week. Step away from their privacy bubble, dude.

Patti & Artem ( Waltz - Pinocchio) (27/40) Injury. Jeopardy. The judges threw lots of adjectives out there: beautiful, charming, magical, lovely...just to name a few.

Willow & Mark (Fox Trot - Alice in Wonderland) (34/40) Top of the leader board. Eat me. Drink me. Dance me.

Chris & Witney (Quick Step - Hercules) (27/40) Bottom of the leader board. Injury. Temper tantrum. Alfonso wisdom. Wardrobe regrets.

Noah & Sharna (Fox Trot - Aladdin) (28/40) Magic carpet ride. Quote of the week: "Suck it up, Princess". And he did.

Riker & Allison (Paso - Pirates) (38/40) Rocker Riker channels Captain Jack Sparrow and nails it. "Slayed it. Killed it." according to Carrie Ann. Left her babbling. I thought it was a bit of a hot mess, but I already made it quite clear I know nothing about dancing.

Rumor & Val (Samba - Little Mermaid) (39/40) Under the sea practice. Bad girl doesn't want to be a princess she wants to be evil. She dances with an eel instead of a prince. Good on her. Love her for it. Rave reviews!!! Well deserved.

Nastia & Derek (Jazz - Frozen) (38/40) Sunnyside up. Fun, fun, Frozen fun.

OMG! Robert and Kym are at the bottom of the leader board! Say it ain't so.

Spring Fling Special next week.

 

 

 



Latin Night!!!!

It's Dancing With The Stars night, and more importantly it's Latin Night.

Disclaimer: I don't dance. I don't know anything about dancing, which doesn't stop me from loving and sometimes hating certain dance routines.

Rumor and Val - (Salsa) Nicely done. Apparently Rumor's whoo ha is a deadly weapon, but no blood was spilled.

Charlotte and Keo - (Rumba) Bruno just called her dumb but pretty (he thinks I'm pretty *flutters eyelashes*). I loved the song.

Michael and Peta - (Salsa) (Pitbull!!!!) Michael didn't break her. That's a good night.

Riker and Allison - (Salsa) Who is this kid???? He brought the sexy!!!! I feel dirty.

Suzanne and Tony - (Salsa) I hope I can salsa at 68. The woman can shake her moneymaker.

Chris and Witney - (Tango) I like the song and I'm a fan of the no-shirt-tuxedo. Tossing a twirling girl in the air and catching her on the way down is impressive.

Robert and Kym - (Rumba) My favorite Shark. Now I'm a fan of the no-jacket-tuxedo. He's buff. And sensitive. Don't get me started on how charming he is or how adorable they are together.

Patti and Artem - (Cha-cha) I love love loved her costume, the color and cut. She looked amazing.

Willow and Mark - (Paso) Fire and Ice.

Noah and Sharna - (Tango) WOW! Well done.

Nastia and Derek - (Samba) Me like. Primal.

To sum up the evening, there were plenty of bare, hairless man chests. It was a good night.

I Love DWTS!

I missed week one (season 20 - can that be right?) of Dancing With the Stars :(

So I'm playing catch up with My Jam Monday. As always, I don't know who some of these "stars" are. I will be spending the next few weeks getting to know everyone.

Who am I rooting for? I love Kym and Robert (he is my favorite Shark). Rumor and Val blew me away. Loved his impression of Bruce Willis. Michael and Peta surprised me (in a good way). Who is this Riker guy? Wow!

For me the music is as important as the dance. I always love Pit Bull - goes without saying. Of course Rumor Has It (Adele), and Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye).

Who are you loving? Fav song? Best dance of the night?
