No! Not the Gutt!

Result shows are always uneven, but this one started definitely on a high note. Steve Guttenberg got to dance again with Anna’s husband, this time in full swing mode! We had predicted (expected? hoped?) something of the sort (see our previous blog), possibly Steve partnering with Adam Carolla. But we certainly did not expect it tonight. This was a pleasant surprise! The producers of this show are certainly clear about one thing: Entertainment. We thank them for it!
The musical numbers were a little off. Kyle Minogue’s show seemed out of place, with her stiff hip-hop/jazz dancers nowhere close to the level of the professional dancers in the show. The Alvin Ailey piece, what can we say? Technically okay but lacking something… Soul maybe? A little too stereotyped, perhaps designed for mass consumption? Good, but not the best of Alvin Ailey. The neon green accents in Mark’s and Christine’s number with Kyle were the most interesting bit of all the fill-in numbers.
About the backstage comments, I guess the one extra detail that we didn’t need to know was that Shannon Elizabeth had a bit of throw-up in her mouth while being judged… We hope that is the closest we get to see hurling around in the show!
The results surprised us a bit from the start. We had thought that Marissa was going to be out, but she was among the first to be safe. We thought that bottom two might be her and Mario or Steve. It is probable that last nights Bruno’s 9 for Mario saved him tonight.
Adios Steve… is that why they say nice guys finish last?
