Dancing With The Stars – Season 19 – Week 2, Part 1

DWTS : Season 19 photo dwts19.jpg

Tonight, Dancing With The Stars continues with the second week of competition’s nineteenth season with another two-night event, and the theme is My Jam Monday.

Last week, LoLo Jones was given the boot after delivering a horrible first performance and showcasing an even worse attitude, while Alfonso Ribeiro became the early favorite to take home the covet mirror-ball trophy with a showstopping performance.

Let’s go… The remaining twelve contestants are introduced to the favorite jams of the judges, which include songs by Rihanna, Lady GaGa and Coldplay. Tom and Erin welcome us to show and we get right into the first couple, Randy and Karina.

Randy & Karina (Cha Cha)

He is ready to take it up a level and his competitive side really comes through in his package. He was one of the surprises last week, but he begins the dance on the wrong foot and never recovers. The smooth and cool guy that we saw last week is not arising to the occasion tonight. Len thought that he gave it all despite lousy footwork, Julianne though he had problems with his shoulders, Bruno thought it needed to be cleaner and sharper, and Carrie Ann thought it was underwhelming. I’m disappointed too!

Carrie Ann-7, Len-7, Julianne-7, Bruno-7 = 28/40

Janel & Val (Foxtrot)

Janel thought they would get better scores last week and Val is taking a stricter approach with her this week. She is dancing to “Call Me Maybe”, and his approach seems to have paid off. She is such a natural and the dancing is good. Julianne didn’t think it was a traditional Foxtrot, but still loved it. Bruno thought it was “almost perfect”, Carrie Ann loved her versatility and Len would have like to see more in hold.

Carrie Ann-9, Len-8, Julianne-8, Bruno-9 = 34/40

Lea & Artem (Jive)

Lea was shocked that they were in jeopardy last week and she finds the jive intimidating. She moves great, especially for an older performer, but she is making her frame much shorter with her shoulders. She great though!!! Bruno thought she was “fantastic”, Carrie Ann thought it was really exciting (and falls AGAIN), Len thought it was terrific despite initial concerns and Julianne loves that she held her own against Artem.

Carrie Ann-9, Len-8, Julianne-9, Bruno-9 = 35/40

Michael & Emma (Samba)

Michael was like a deer in headlights last week and was generously given a score of 25 out of 40, but he really does want this. He is dancing to “Girls In Bikinis” by Lee Brice, and hopefully, the dancing has improved. We’ll find out after the break… Unfortunately, it has not! Awful! Just awful! Poor Emma is once again doing all the work and the extra girls are there to distract from just how bad it is. Carrie Ann didn’t see any Samba, Len doesn’t know why but he likes it, Julianne says he still has a lot to learn and Bruno rambles.

Carrie Ann-6, Len-6, Julianne-6, Bruno-6 = 24/40

Tavis & Sharna (Cha Cha)

Tavis had a busy week with book signings and promotion for his new book, and it cuts down on their rehearsal time. If you watched last week, then you know Tavis really needs every bit of rehearsal time that he can get. He has the steps down pack, but not one ounce of rhythm to go with them. Not good! Len didn’t think it was polished, Julianne agrees and thought that the timing was off, Bruno thought he sold it and Carrie Ann was impressed that he got all of the steps.

Carrie Ann-7, Len-7, Julianne-7, Bruno-7 = 28/40
To Vote For Tavis:

Alfonso & Witney (Samba)

He was last week’s top scorer and is obviously looking to keep the momentum going this week. I’m not worried about him, but I can’t say the same about his partner. The pressure is already getting to her and she is playing the role that we normally see from the celebrity not the pro. The choreography could be better, but he still says it. Julianne wants him to challenge himself more, Bruno Agrees, Carrie Ann said he lost connection just a bit, and Len thought it was “popping”.

Carrie Ann-8, Len-8, Julianne-8, Bruno-8 = 32/40
To Vote For Alfonso:

Bethany & Derek (Foxtrot)

She is having problems with her ankles and she is worried it will affect the score she receives from the judges. Lucky for her, she is with a partner who is accustomed to working around his celebrity’s injury. For me, the routine lacks excitement, but not bad at all. Bruno thought she handled the routine well, Carrie Ann thinks she is a great storyteller, Len thought it was the best he seen all night and Julianne thought it was “awesome”.

Carrie Ann-8, Len-9, Julianne-8, Bruno-8 = 33/40
To Vote For Bethany:
Call 800-868-3403, or Use ABC.COM and/or Facebook.
12 Vote Limit Per Method /Per ABC.COM / Facebook Account.

Betsey & Tony (Foxtrot)

She is looking to recover from last week’s mishap and with a Foxtrot in her sights, her cooky personality has to be toned down. She certainly looks better than I have ever seen her looking. She really is a beautiful woman under all of that clown make-up she normally wears. The dancing isn’t bad either. Good for her! Carrie Ann loved the transformation, Len called it “lovely”, Julianne thought it was “timeless” and Bruno says she is definitely ready for her close-up.

Carrie Ann-7, Len-7, Julianne-7, Bruno-7 = 28/40
To Vote For Betsey:
Call 800-868-3404, or Use ABC.COM and/or Facebook.

Antonio & Cheryl (Rumba)

Cheryl is hoping they only go up from here, but he gets frustrated easily. Very easily! They are dancing to “Adorn” by Miguel. One of the sexiest songs ever and while he is a sexy guy, the movements and hip action feel very awkward at moments. Len thought he was better than last week, Julianne was really impressed with their beautiful connection, Bruno loved his lines and says he should use his “very nice butt” more, and Carrie Ann thought it was “sexy” and “smooth”.

Carrie Ann-8, Len-7, Julianne-8, Bruno-8 = 31/40
To Vote For Antonio:
Call 800-868-3402, or Use ABC.COM and/or Facebook.

Tommy & Peta (Salsa)

Tommy is such a character, but exactly how long can Peta play to that and disguise the fact that he is not a very good dancer. Well, at least one more week. Yes, the dancing is barely passable, but once again, I’m completely entertained. Julianne thought it was “effing fabulous”, Bruno says he is proving that “age is a state of mind”, Carrie Ann says he dances right in the pocket of the music and Len thought it was “well-done”.

Carrie Ann-7, Len-7, Julianne-7, Bruno-7 = 28/40
To Vote For Tommy:
Call 800-868-3413, or Use ABC.COM and/or Facebook.
12 Vote Limit Per Method /Per ABC.COM / Facebook Account.

Jonathan & Allison (Cha Cha)

She is trying to hone in on his sexy-side, but he smiles so much, it comes off more goofy than sexy. The music may a bit too fast from him, because he is having a difficult time keeping up. He has the ability, but this is a bit of a step back for me. Bruno thought it needed to be cleaner, Carrie Ann didn’t think there was enough Cha Cha, Len agrees and scolds Allison for the lack of content, and Julianne still sees the potential for them to grow.

Carrie Ann-7, Len-7, Julianne-8, Bruno-8 = 30/40
To Vote For Jonathan:
Call 800-868-3406, or Use ABC.COM and/or Facebook.

Sadie & Mark (Jazz)

She admits she was super confident last week and she gets some input from her father regarding her outfit. Country and Jazz don’t exactly go together, and that made the routine feel a little strange. She danced well, but something about it was a little off. Carrie Ann thought it was sexy, Len reaffirms my initial thoughts, Julianne missed her leg action and Bruno thought it was great.

Carrie Ann-8, Len-7, Julianne-8, Bruno-8 = 31/40

That’s a wrap for night one of week two. Tomorrow, Sia and Julianne Hough will perform, and one celebrity will be eliminated. See you then!
