The Scores in Classical Week on DWTS (Week 4)

Week 4 was classical week on Dancing with the Stars.  The couples danced a Waltz or a Paso Doble to classical music selected for them.

We had a 46-peice orchestra, a sprightly young man playing very intensely on the fiddle and a stunningly beautiful opera singer.

Can't fail right?

If Kirstie Alley's shoe hadn't fallen off it would have been the most boring Dancing with the Stars ever.

Yes, I might be a philistine when it comes to classical music but I think it was a mistake for the following reasons:

• The celebrities aren't up to the level of dance needed to do justice to the music
• The professionals don't have as much experience of choreographing for classical music
• Classical music is much better in person that on TV
• The vewers are not big fans

It just became a parade of tinny music with one dance indistinguishable from the next.

Can you tell I wasn't impressed?  Anyway, here are the judges' scores:

Romeo and Chelsie Hightower - 23
Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna Trebunskaya - 21
Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff - 25
Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke - 23
Hines Ward and Kym Johnson - 25
Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas - 26
Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin - 23
Kendra Wilkinson and Louis Van Amstel - 18
Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - 22

Kendra looks most at risk to me.

And yes, Kirstie's shoe really did fall off!  She recovered well though.
