 Yup
IMO the right one went home. Tonite I do think the other one
that was in the bottom 2 will go tonite.
 'Dancing
with the Stars' Recap: Ballroom Night and the First
Elimination
Monday,
September 25, 2017

Senior
Writer, BuddyTV
Dancing
with the Stars is heading into overdrive for the second
week of competition on season 25. There are two nights, two
routines, two eliminations and four hours to fill.



For
Monday, it's all about classic ballroom styles with
Waltzes, Tangos, Quicksteps and Foxtrots. And by the end of
the night, one pair will be going home and denied the
opportunity to perform their Tuesday night Latin routine
that they've been preparing for all week.


LIVE...from
Hollywood...this is my Dancing
with the Stars live blog.

Debbie Gibson and Alan Bersten: Quickstep

She
was very nervous and emotional last week. Now she's more
confident and she has great energy, but her legs and feet
are rather sloppy. Len Goodman says she had the speed, but
not the control. The other judges agree that she was fun,
but lacked some technique.

Judges'
Scores: 7+6+7=20

She's
up 3 points from last week and the judges are clearly going
to be more generous tonight.

Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev: Waltz

This
week she wants to channel her elegant and classy nana to
show a different side of herself. She succeeds with a slow
and sensitive routine that flows beautifully, but seems a
little light on the content. The judges love this new
version of her and the trust she showed in her partner. Len
wanted more in hold, but he liked the lyrical lines.

Judges'
Scores: 7+7+7=21

She's
up 1 point.

Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas: Quickstep

The
concept is that they start as caterpillars and turn into
butterflies. It's good to have Mark back because we get
this kind of imagination, and the judges all agree. The
dancing is speedy and fine, but she seems a little more
stiff than last week and she's a tad hunched over. Len
doesn't like that they didn't maintain the hold.

Judges'
Scores: 7+7+7=21

They're
actually down 1 point.

Barbara Corcoran and Keo Motsepe: Tango

Barbara
opens up about being dyslexic as a child and she's used
to being at the bottom. She's driven to prove that
she's not stupid. She doesn't have any real
musicality and her huge smile doesn't quite fit the
routine. It's just not very good. The judges think
she's better than last week, but I kind of disagree.
Barbara continues to talk back to the judges, which is not a
good look.

Judges'
Scores: 6+5+6=17

She's
up 3 points.

Nick Lachey and Peta Murgatroyd: Foxtrot

The
married couples have a foot rubbing bet over who does
better, and Nick an Peta want to beat Vanessa and Maks.
It's sweet, but Nick is still kind of boxy. He dances
more like a football player than a boy band singer. Peta had
a wardrobe issue halfway through with her dress getting
caught, and that threw off the second half. Carrie Ann Inaba
thinks he's a little too tight and needs to loosen up.
Len continues to hate benches and thought it was too
fragile.

Judges'
Scores: 7+6+6=19

He's
up 1 point.

Drew Scott and Emma Slater: Quickstep

On
Sunday he pulled his hamstring, which cut into their
rehearsal time. He's much better than last week with
energy and lots of delightful flailing. His limbs are still
way too long, but they made it work in this routine. The
judges think he's lanky and gangly, but they like his
enthusiasm.

Judges'
Scores: 7+6+7=20

He's
up 4 points, the best improvement so far.

Vanessa Lachey and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Foxtrot

Maks
is very intense, but her dad was in the military, so
she's used to it. Her heel cut her toe in rehearsals.
She's good and has great sass, but too much of the start
is her with some back-up guys. The judges really love it,
with Carrie Ann calling her liquid gold. Vanessa continues
to be totally insane in her interviews, in the best possible
way, referring to her partner as "Maks Daddy."

Judges'
Scores: 8+8+8=24

She's
up 3 points and gets the highest score of the season so far,
plus Bruno's first 8.

Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson: Tango

Witney
the drill sergeant now expects more from him, but he broke
his back 8 years ago and it makes it hard. It's an
awesome and intense routine with lots of precision. Bruno
loves that he didn't miss a step with a crazy song.
Carrie Ann agrees that it was powerful and fiery. Len
thought it was too aggressive.

Judges'
Scores: 8+7+8=23

He's
also up 4 points.

Terrell Owens and Cheryl Burke: Foxtrot

He
says that he knows he's more than 1 point better than
Barbara, and he's not wrong. He gets frustrated in
rehearsals very easily. Their dance is very sexy, but I find
him kind of "meh" as a dancer. Len thought it was
too raunchy, more bedroom than ballroom. Bruno calls it a
Sextrot. Tom Bergeron voices the concern that he was
underscored last week because he was first.

Judges'
Scores: 7+6+7=20

He's
up 5 points, the new biggest improvement.

Sasha Pieterse and Gleb Savchenko: Viennese Waltz

They
work on her ballroom face and her parents show up in
rehearsals, which adds even more criticism on her technique.
I hope her parents get to perform a routine this season,
maybe in the finale. The routine is thoroughly mediocre and
forgettable. Len complains about all of the swooshy ballroom
routines. Bruno didn't like her arms, but Carrie Ann
did.

Judges'
Scores: 8+8+7=23

WTF?
She's up 5 points too.

Victoria Arlen and Val Chmerkovskiy: Tango

She's
so positive and joyful about everything. Their dance is
intense and powerful with strong moves and a bad-ass
routine. It's the polar opposite of her light and fun
dance from last week, which is great. She's definitely
becoming a huge threat to win. The judges love her
technique.

Judges'
Scores: 8+8+8=24

She's
also up by 5 points, making it three in a row. The judges
are getting very generous as the night goes on.

Derek Fisher and Sharna Burgess: Foxtrot

Derek's
mom is here and Mama Fish has more charisma than most of
these stars, including Derek. The dance is very quaint and
he has a lot of fun with it. Sometimes he cuts his
extensions too short. Carrie Ann points out that he dances
too small and needs to spread it out more.

Judges'
Scores: 6+6+7=19

He's
up 1 point.

Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold: Viennese Waltz

They
know that the bar is high for them, but they want to do even
better. It's a very Contemporary-style dance, but
absolutely beautiful. He moves so smoothly and effortlessly,
and it's just fun to watch him. The judges love his
lyricism, but they want more ballroom nuance.

Judges'
Scores: 8+8+8=24

He's
up 2 points and tied for the top of the leaderboard once
again.

THE
RESULTS

It's
time to send one couple home.

The
first couple IN JEOPARDY is...Terrell and Cheryl
The
second couple IN JEOPARDY is...Barbara and Keo

That's
no surprise since they were the bottom two last week.

Barbara Corcoran and Keo Motsepe ARE ELIMINATED!

Poor
Keo, this is the third time he's been the first one
eliminated out of six times as a pro. And two other times he
was the second one eliminated. What does this hottie need to
do to be given a partner with some actual potential?
