Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska Video
NFL great Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska take the stage next. Edyta Sliwinska is definitely my favorite, and I've always thought the football players have done well. In rehearsal, Edyta Sliwinska shows him the shoes he's going to wear while dancing, and he's not too thrilled about the heels.
He's afraid to look funny on the dance floor, but I have faith that he'll be great in Edyta Sliwinska's hands. They dance the cha cha cha tonight, and I'm really impressed with him already. Plus, Edyta Sliwinska's costume is weirdly fringed and definitely cool.
I'm a fan. Carrie Ann isn't all that impressed, though, and says that he needs to be more on the offensive. Len compliments Lawrence on his natural ease, but Bruno says that he's a bit too laid-back and needs to attack the movements more. Is it me, or is Len actually going to be the nice judge this season? The scores: Carrie Ann gives 6, Len gives 5 and Bruno gives 5, for a 16 out of 30. The thing is, I think the judges are purposely under-scoring him because he's a football player. I thought he definitely did better than a 16.
Dancing with the Stars season premiere
We all know there has been some preseason drama surrounding the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars, which premiered earlier tonight. Two celebrities - singer Jewel and TV personality Nancy O'Dell - were both sidelined prior to the first show due to injury. But regardless, tonight was the night when we got to meet each of the celebrities, see how they dance and then decide whether they have potential or suck. Here is a rundown on how each couple did in their first performance.1) Lil' Kim & Derek Hough; score: 21
This first couple could have been much worse. Lil' Kim stumbled a bit and had bad posture, but with some work she may be OK.
2) Belinda Carlisle & Jonathan Roberts; score: 17
From the package prepared and shown before the couple danced, it was made clear that Belinda struggled with the spin training and easily got dizzy. When they performed she was not awesome, but it was clear she was having fun.
3) Lawrence Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska; score: 16
In the package, it was shown that Lawrence was worried he would look like a fool while dancing. Pretty much everyone is awful the first few weeks, so I don't think he has much to worry about. But while they were performing, it was obvious that Edyta was doing much more than Lawrence; he was really only posing while she moved.
4) Steve-O & Lacey Schwimmer; score: 17
Steve-O had stiff shoulders, but overall the performance was OK. I am predicting that he will be much better while performing quicker dances, like the cha-cha-cha.
5) Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke; score: 24
Together, this couple was extremely entertaining and very sexy. The dancing was pretty good too. I wonder if he will have a hard time with the ballroom dances, including the waltz, where he will not be able to depend on his sex appeal as much.
6) Chuck Wicks & Julianne Hough; score: 20
This is the real life coupled also paired to dance together. I have to admit, watching their interactions filmed for the pre-performance packages is going to be awkward because you have to keep in mind that they are actually in love. But as for the dancing, I was actually impressed. Julianne definitely did not skimp on the choreography and he seemed to hold his own.
7) Holly Madison & Dmitry Chaplin; score: 18
This is one of the newer couples. They only had one week to prepare, while most of the other pairs had up to a month. While she was performing, Holly seemed to be forgetting the steps. But overall, it could have been much worse.
8) Ty Murray & Chelsie Hightower; score: 14
Ty was doing well until about halfway through dance when he messed up and then completely lost his momentum. After that, it was pretty awful. I can't believe Len gave him a 4! That is so low.
9) Shawn Johnson & Mark Ballas; score: 23
I don't really have much to say because Shawn was really good and extremely elegant. She will have no problems making it through in the coming weeks.
10) Steve Wozniak & Karina Smirnoff; score: 13
In the package, Steve said he wants to prove that nerds can dance too. Well too bad he didn't complete this task. He's obviously trying, but he is pretty awful. The judges did complement him though on having fun while performing. And he seems to truly be enjoying his time on the show.
11) David Alan Grier & Kym Johnson; score: 19
David was pretty good as a whole, but the judges want him to control his facial expressions so that he is not constantly changing emotion throughout the dance. I too noticed this while he was performing and it was a bit distracting.
12) Denise Richards & Maksim Chmerkovskiy; score: 18
Let me start by saying that I can't believe it is only the first week and Denise has already cried. She needs to toughen up! But as for her dancing, I had pretty high expectations. I thought she was going to be a front-runner, but instead she was stiff and had no fluidity. For avid watchers, she reminds me a lot of Shannon Elizabeth who was on the show a few seasons ago and was oddly not fluid in her dancing. Bruno said Denise has it all but doesn't yet know how to use it. Hopefully Maks can whip her into shape, quick.
13) Melissa Rycroft & Tony Dovolani; score: 23
This is the other new couple. They only had TWO DAYS to prepare and still managed to get a 23! Melissa said she has ballet training and was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader so that helps, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well she performed. She is a beautiful dancer.
