Hough-less and Marie Osmond’s Legacy on Dancing with the Stars
Oh those tricky, competitive stars of Dancing with the Stars. Week 7 of Season 6 kicked off the dual dance performances… and some possibly calculated chicanery. This I deem is the legacy of Marie Osmond.
But first, Shannon Elizabeth and her gangly limbs was eliminated after a solid tango and booty busting mambo. Sadly neither Hough sibling is left in the competition with Derek and Julianne relegated to dancing during the musical guest performances.
Back to Marie’s legacy. Competition is so fierce amongst the six (now five) couples that deftness on the dance floor just might not be enough to get the fans’ votes. Being in the media and getting additional attention was the forte of Marie Osmond of Season 5. She perfected this aspect of the reality-based DWTS all the way to the Finals. Such is her legacy.
Now witness the injury to Cristian de la Fuente. Is this just bad luck or Marie’s legacy? Yes, it was reported on the results show that an MRI showed a ruptured tendon in his arm, but with the lowest overall score of the night, Cristian and Cheryl Burke were saved by the fans and will continue on. With only three weeks left in the competition, can Cristian and Cheryl ride this wave of renewed popularity to the Finals? The legacy of Marie Osmond…
Watch at about 1:17 for the injury.
All the competition is forcing the stars to hold nothing back. For her mambo, Shannon Elizabeth donned a prosthetic arse that would make Sir Mix-a-lot beg for a piece of that bubble. Even though Kristi Yamaguchi wasn’t the leader of this week, she’s addressing her critiques of being too conservative. Her performances are becoming more emotional while her wardrobe is showing more Asian skin. She’s definitely gearing up and posturing for a run to the Finals.
Mario and Karina are pushing the sexiness of their dances getting the judges and fans all hot and bothered. The fans responded by getting them out of the bottom two from Week 6. The only couple not employing some gimmicks or shenanigans is Marissa Jaret Winokur and partner Tony Dovolani. In the recent weeks, Marissa has shown breakthrough progress but given the aforementioned action, would you vote for the solid but staid couple? Nope, and Marissa was in this week’s bottom two.
Finally, the leader for this week is Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska. That paso doble done to the theme from Monday Night Football while garbed in Miami Dolphins colors was the highlight of the night.
Tricky, tricky.
