Our Take and Handicap

DWTS’s backstage comments were lame, no major exciting insights here. The most facetious, of course, were Cristian and Cheryl’s, suggesting the illegality and after hours chemistry that would be needed to increase the hot chemistry between them.
The first number was appropriately hot and Latin with “Coso Matte” and the dancing professionals shaking it up with a salsa / samba number that had them all over the place strutting their stuff. Changing the dynamic and shaking the house, the first results came in and, well Kristy is safe—no surprise—but Cristian and Cheryl are in peril!
Once again, the kids danced, giving us a glimpse of future Edytas, and Dereks. Then all that “show day” stuff was fun: with the guys showing how “macho” they are—Cristian playing football, Jason saying that he has more time because he doesn’t have to do his hair, Mario showing off his pecs (he may be dancing in this show but he is a “macho man”); and the girls: Priscilla doing Yoga, Marissa being girly, Shannon worrying and worrying, Marlee with her kids… and then we went back to the Studio and Jason was safe.
James Blunt gave us the next musical interlude with great star power and an beautiful and athletic accompanying dance routine. In the end, however, many of the lifts did not seem effortless, but rather strained.
Cue the scary music… and Priscilla was gone.
Now who do we think will actually win? It is hard, we like them all, everyone brings something to the floor and to the show. Now it is almost down to personality and likeability but the three finalists we expect will be Kristi, Jason and Mario. And the winner will be Jason. Do we think he’s the best dancer, however? Actually no, we don’t, but that’s life!

What about Shannon? She and Derek make such a cute couple!

First of all, thank you for your feedback on our post! You're right about Shannon. I write this post wtih my husband and he actually wanted to put Shannon as one of the final three, instead of Mario. I won the debate, although I had my doubts also. If judging by last week's performances, I would have gone for Shannon, but this week she seemed to have reached the top of her capabilities. However, I think Derek is wonderful! And they look great together! Last week they looked like Romeo and Juliet, but not this week.
I guess we have to wait and see...
