+The next couple safe… Sean and Peta!! #teammurgalo BAM!
+Also safe… Wynona and Tony. Oh Wynona’s face… I loved it!
-Victor and Lindsay are the first couple in the bottom three. 
+Zendaya and Val won the twitter encore dance. That dance was fabulous. She will go very far. And oh yeah, they are also safe from elimination. But we already knew that.
+Aly has a very nice tan. Ha. She and Mark are also safe. Duh.
+DL and Cheryl are safe after a rough start last week. He looked like he was about to have a heart attack when Tom said they were safe. Yeah I’ll just chill on the floor for 5 minutes.
-Lisa and Gleeebbb! I just like saying him name like that okay?! I miss Lisa’s dog, she didn’t bring him this week. We want Giggy! We want Giggy! I just can’t get over how adorable that dog is. Anyways, Lisa and Gleb will be joining Victor and Lindsay in the bottom three.
+Next couple safe… Kellie and Derek! Like, big duh! They will also go very far. Derek usually does. There should have been two encore dances, Kellie and Derek’s dance was epic! I mean, I think I could watch and rewatch for hours. Lol. It was awesome!
+Next couple safe… Jacoby and Karina.

After the commercial break Sean and Peta talk about the #Murgalo and how it started. Thanks for that guys I had always wondered about the origin of the murgalo lol. Tom and Brooke do the murgalo! Haha that is so great. And I'm loving all the yellow y'all are wearing!

+The next couple safe… Dorothy and Tristan.
-Andy and Sharna are in the bottom three along with DL, Cheryl, Victor and Lindsay.
+Out of the bottom three couples Andy and Sharna are safe and will dance next week. I don’t understand the point of this. It’s like you’re in danger of being eliminated, oh wait just kidding you’re safe. It only makes them stress and be super anxious.
-So two couples remain, one will stay one will go. Who will go? We will never know. Because they are both staying. That was my own Dr. Seuss little rhyme.

-Dorothy announced she has to withdraw from the competition due to her spinal injury. Doctor’s orders! When she was talking her voice kept breaking and her eyes watered. I really felt sad at that moment. I love that Kellie ran down to her to give her a big hug. I would be right there with them hugging it out! Bless you, Dorothy and take care of yourself! Best wishes!

As the show ends, Tiny Dancer by Elton John plays in the background and omg I totally love love love that song! It only made the moment sadder. But next week is prom night and that should be very fun! I wonder what Sean looks like in a tux? ….. hahaha.


Until next time…

DWTS week two [performances]

Hi all week two is here! Get ready for some badass dance moves. And some comedy, and a little drama.

First up were Ingo and Kym. They danced the quick step. Wow they were so good! Much improvement from last week. And I also loved their outfits. Très cute! They scored 20 points.

Dancing next is poor Dorothy with her bad ankle. And she gets through it! (with mistakes but who wouldn’t with an injured ankle? She didn’t fall down! I think I would have.) The jive is a fast dance and I would have been afraid of messing up bad or even worse tripping over myself. How embarrassing that would have been. But Dorothy did great! She and Tristan received a 15. I felt so bad watching her talk about how she let Tristan down and disappointed everyone. Her voice was breaking and it was sad to watch. You can totally tell she is disappointed in herself and feels really bad about her performance. But on the brighter side, her dress was so pretty! Très cute! (French is awesome btw).

Jacoby and Karina dance jazz.  This dance was very fun to watch, or as Carrie Anne said “it was rocking!” Ha. Nice job! And also very cool outfits guys! They received a 23. Not bad.

Victor and Lindsay dance the jive. Loved their dance last week, hope they do well tonight. Love Lindsay’s dress again this week! Very pretty! (Carrie Anne’s dress? That’s a different story) “Do you have an extra pair of socks?” Hahaha oh Victor. I didn’t even get it until Len answered “you didn’t knock my socks off”. Then I LOL’d. And then I LOL’d more at myself for not getting it earlier. But anyways, I liked their dance and they ended up getting an 18.

Some of the criticism can be harsh and no matter who it is, they take it so well, with smiles and all. I think I would start tearing up and about to cry if the judges basically told me my performance sucked. I wouldn’t be able to hold it in and it would show on my face. And then they would probably feel bad they made me cry. But hey, what can you do? I can be emotional. But on the flipside, if I get a really good critique and the judges loved my performance and gave good scores, I would be screaming and jumping up and around with joy. Ha. Two complete extremes.

Wynonna and Tony dance the quick step. As police officers. On segways. Nice. It was actually pretty entertaining. My favorite part about Wynonna is her facial expressions. They are so awesome! They get 18 points for their performance.

Ready, set, Disney! Zendaya is dancing the jive with Val next and man she freaking killed it! I mean dead, buried and burned! That girl was on fireeeee! Great song choice and choreography Val! Very, very well done guys! And cute outfits. And happy birthday Val! They received raving reviews and a score of 26. I didn’t expect anything less.

Photo credit: ABC
Andy and Sharna dance jazz and I thought it was sort of weird. And a little scary. Only because of Andy’s facial expressions. I mean it was well danced and entertaining but scared me a little. Ha. But the judges loved it and gave them a score of 20 which was better than last week.

Next up… Sean and Peta! They dance the jive in their very precious yellow outfits. Sean looks so good in his lifeguard outfit. And I love the dress Peta is wearing. Yellow is my favorite color so I was very excited. 
At the beginning of the night I tweeted this:
And then when I saw Catherine later on I tweeted this:

“Peta is a patient teacher but she’s not afraid to yell. She is constantly yelling at me during the dance, after the dance, she even yells at me before the dance.” 
Hahaha loved this segment. She is putting Sean in line. Go girl! And Sean openly admits he didn’t shower for 2 days. All I have to say is… poor Catherine. You can see the disgust on Peta’s face as Sean told her that. It was way funny! These packages are always so much fun to watch, especially Sean’s. Their dance was badass I loved it so much!! Bruno called it more of a Lindy-hop and jitterbug than jive. And it sort of was, but I loved it and I hope the Lindy-hop is a dance that someone gets the opportunity to perform because it’s such a fun dance. I want to learn it and bust it out at the club. Ha! Kidding, I don’t go to clubs, but I do want to learn to dance the Lindy-hop, among many others. The judges give them a score of 20, which is an improvement from last week. Great job Sean and Peta! #TeamMurgalo all the way!!

Aly loses her partner and almost doesn’t go on! Just kidding. But she does temporarily lose Mark before going on. They dance the quick step and do an amazing job! Aly is so talented at everything she does! I love her blue dress and I love her tan skin! I wish I was tan. I need to start going tanning. Summer is approaching, I can’t go to the beach all pale. The judges give their performance a 24. Very nice.

“Lisa, please report to the cockpit”. You and Gleb are next to dance the jive. Another pink dress for Lisa! Love it though. Also love the song. Classic. They receive a score of 18.

DL’s rehearsal package was… umm… interesting to watch. Anger issues much? He and Cheryl dance the quick step. He starts out dancing on top of the judges’ table. That is way awesome! I bet that took a lot of guts to do. I wanted to see the judges’ reactions when he climbed up on the table. Suhprize yo! The judges give them a score of 16 for their performance; an improvement of 4 points from last week. “They used up all their 4’s so I knew I was good.” Ha. This is a new week, they still could have gave you 4’s but didn’t. Because you danced better, so you got 5’s and a 6 instead.

Saving the best for last—Kellie and Derek! Derek has always been my favorite dancer to watch, he always has the best choreography and is just fabulous in all ways. I see major chemistry between Kellie and Derek. They dance jazz and I don’t even have any words to describe my feelings toward their performance. It blew me away. This is my favorite dance performed. Ever. By anyone. I might have to watch and rewatch it a million times. It is that good. I mean, wow. Did that really just happen? Wonderful, wonderful job you guys! Fantastic, superb, outstanding, splendid, impressive and all the other synonyms of this kind. And I said I didn’t have any words to explain it. I guess I lied, I have tons. All their moves were dead on and in sync with each other. Seriously this dance should have been a perfect ten across the board. But a 27 is great too. “If you’re just tuning in we’re playing 'Find the Body Fat'.” Haha Tom. I wonder if he has a writer like Bruno.

The breakdown of the scores: 
-In first place with 50 points is Zendaya with her partner Val. Big shocker there.
-In second place with 47 points is Kellie with her partner, and my favorite pro dancer, Derek. 
-Third place goes to Aly and Mark. They have 45 points.
-In fourth place is Jacoby with his partner Karina. They have 43 points.
-In fifth place with 40 points is Ingo and Kym.
-In sixth place with 39 points is Sean and Peta. Doing good, just keep improving and climb to the top.
-In seventh place with 37 points is Andy with his partner Sharna.
-Four couples tie for eighth place all with 36 points: Dorothy & Tristan, Lisa & Gleb, Victor & Lindsay, and Wynonna & Tony. 
-And finally in last place, with 27 points is D.L. with his partner Cheryl. 

There you go. It was an awesome night of great performances. Everyone improved since last week. Great job! Tomorrow is the first elimination. It's nerve wracking. And next week is prom night!! 

Until next time...

DWTS week one [performances]

Dancing with the Stars has begun!

For the next ten weeks I thought I would just die when Sean's journey on The Bachelor came to an end. I really didn't know how I was going to spend my Monday nights. I may just have to get a life outside of my living room. Thankfully, Dancing with the Stars is back! And it's the following Monday after The Bachelor season finale so I don't even have to wait and wonder what my plans were for Monday. I will spend the next ten weeks watching everyone show off their dancing skills! Yay! This season is exciting and has many great dancers! From Kellie Pickler to Aly Raisman to Sean Lowe. And my favorite pro is back-- Derek! Super yes!

So here’s the breakdown:

First up: Kellie and Derek dance the fox trot, and get 21 points for their performance. Way to go guys!
Victor and 19 year old pro Lindsay dance the fox trot and get 18 points. I absolutely love her dress! It’s so pretty.
Ingo and Kym dance contemporary and get 20 points. I kind of had a problem with Ingo’s wife beater. Like, why didn’t he wear a nicer white shirt? Whatevs.

I love love love love loooove the lights thing at the beginning of Lisa and Gleb’s dance. She wore a very beautiful pink dress and the fact that everything was black and white with only her pink dress in color was so amazing to see! I had no idea that was possible I just thought that was a camera thing for the tv viewers but nope it really happened in studio and it was magical! And her dog is so so precious with his little outfits on. 
Photo credit: ABC
Ado-ra-ble! I would have voted for them just for the lights thing and the dog! If I had a Pomeranian I would dress it up too, bahaha. Especially if it was a girl, princess pomy here she comes! Complete with dresses and tiara! Ha I would have too much fun. Damn expensive dog. But anyways, Lisa and Gleb did a good job dancing the fox trot. The judges gave them 18 points. I think the dog wins my heart. I’m melted by his cuteness. He is so tiny and fluffy and I wanna steal him. He would be the best cuddle buddy. Ha.

Back to topic. The next dance we see is Cheryl and D.L. They dance the cha cha and daaaamnn brotha takes major crap from one particular judge. I mean he got slammed! I kinda felt bad for him. They end up getting a score of 12. Ouch! I jammed out to their song though! Haven’t heard that mofo in years! Ha.

Zendaya and Val dance contemporary and do amazing! The best yet. They receive 24 points. Good job guys!

Okay... up next...
Here it is folks! What I (and hundreds more peeps) have been waiting for! Watching him as the Bachelor for the last ten weeks has been so great! But it's time to get dancing! So excited to see Sean strut his stuff. Ha.
Photo credit: ABC
I spy with my little eye... Catherine! It's awesome that she came to support him. And why wouldn't she? Going from The Bachelor to Dancing with the Stars is a complete game change. Sean enters a whole new ball game. He is hitting the dance floor and showing off his impressive skills! I’m sure they’re impressive, but I would still love him if he tripped and fell on his face on live television. No matter what, homie has my vote. Always. All the dances were good but at the end of the night I will be supporting Sean and Peta. [cutie pies]. I was so anxious to see how Sean will dance, I couldn’t even envision him dancing but he did a great job! Keep him in line Peta! Ha. 
Photo credit: ABC
They dance the fox trot and receive 19 points. “For a dance virgin, you have a very effective pelvic thrust.” Okay really?. Enough with the virgin stuff, he is hiding it well but I bet it annoys the crap out of him to be constantly referred to as a virgin when he isn’t. Carrie Ann, however, "liked it rough!" Bahaha. I also really liked Peta’s red dress. It was beautiful. Speaking of red dresses, Catherine wore a red dress as well. Did Sean tell her he would be in a red outfit and she wanted to match? I am all about matching! I love it so that was cute to see even if it was unplanned.

Moving on..

Aly and Mark danced it up in pretty pink! They danced the cha cha and received 21 points for it. Good job! Y’all looked fabulous! And sparkly! Ha. 
Dorothy and Tristan danced contemporary and got 21 points.
Wynonna and Tony danced the cha cha and received 18 points.

And then... oh gosh. Andy Dick dancing. Yeah, so… yeah. They received 17 points for their fox trot dance.
And last but not least, Jacoby and Karina danced the cha cha and were rewarded with 20 points.

So in first place with 24 points is Zendaya and Val; and in last place is D.L. and Cheryl with 12 points. Sean and Peta are in seventh place with 19 points. But this will change! I used all my votes to support Team Murgalo and I hope they appreciate it. I even made a video for them on youtube. Check it by clicking here! Do it :) Vote for Sean and Peta people! Abc.com and facebook.com and also calling in and texting! 800-868-3407. I just typed this number without looking it up. Because I memorized it. Because I dialed it so much so it just sank in my memory box. But if you don’t trust me I won't be mad and in fact encourage you to look it up yourself. VOTE VOTE VOTE for Sean and Peta! Help them win! 

Well this is it. It has been a great and fun night! I can't wait to see what everyone (Especially Sean) has in store for us next week! These next nine weeks will be so much fun. Another great journey to experience.

Until next time…
