Broad Scores in Broadway Week on DWTS (Spoilers)

Week 6 of Dancing with the Stars is Broadway week. That means there is a lot of lycra, strategically placed straps to hold things up and very dramatic dancing.

The couples were each given a Broadway tune to dance to, plus there was a group dance that wasn't scored by the judges.

Also, Kristin Chenoweth sang a couple of songs very, very well.  And Kenny Ortega made an appearance as he is choreographing on of the numbers in the results show.  (Isn't it interesting that Kenny Ortega appeared on Phineas and Ferb before making it to Dancing with the Stars?)

Here are the scores plus some random thoughts:
  • Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke - Cha Cha Cha - 22 - I thought Rob had great footwork in this number but from the neck up looked terrified.  Perhaps it was because his mother appeared at practice to encourage him?
  • Nancy Grace and Tristan MacManus - Foxtrot - 24 - Carrie and and Len seemed to be scoring different dances but it all evened up.  Tristan went with safe in terms of routine again, plus Nancy was a bit more relaxed and showed a bit more of her personality in the dance.
  • David Arquette and Kym Johnson - Quickstep - 23 - high enery, somewhat generic dance. 
  • Ricki Lake and Derek Hough - Quickstep - 29 - great dancing, wonderful choreography.
  • Chaz Bono and Lacey Schwimmer - Tango - 19 - Chaz isn't improving any more and it was a mistake to wear the Phantom of the Opera mask.  He seemed very upset when Bruno called him a penguin.
  • Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Rumba - 20 - Maks got upset at what he sees as the difference in judging standards for each couple.  Personally, I think Hope and JR are scored much harder than the others.  It made for a good bicker between Len and Maks, with the other judges warning Maks to be quiet!
  • JR Martinez and Karina Smirnoff - Quickstep - 29 - JR is the best dancer of the group, but are Ricki and Derek the best couple?
Apart from Ricki and JR everyone else could possible be in jeopardy based on the results so far this season.  Chaz is the probably the worst dancer, but I think Hope could be in trouble unless the public want to see more cat fights between Maks and the judges!

  2. Anonymous, most the of the time the judges are right, however the judges have blinders on when it comes to some couples (cough Derek cough) so they are easier on him.

    They need to be harsh on Chaz. He needs to go home. Should have gone home weeks ago.

    However, They (the producers) screwed Chaz and Hope over. POTO didnt' work as a Tango for Sarah Evens, it certainly wouldn't work for Chaz. And Seasons of Love for a Rumba?! COME ON! No Way... Harold wheeler should be ashamed of himself for that one. He's worked on Broadway(that's' where it got his start). He should no better.
