I am Your Sunshine

Let’s get it started.

Willa & Max
Willa Ford: Pop star, singer.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Second timer. Partnered with Tia Carrere last season.

They’re a cute couple, surprisingly. Cause after combining viewers’ votes last night, they ranked in bottom 3. I thought they must be lacking charm. Well, I guess people just didn’t think they needed it and didn’t love them enough to want to polish their standing. Okay, their dance. It’s beautiful, but not as sensational as Stacy’s. Now whenever I saw a Foxtrot, I can’t help but comparing it with Stacy’s.

Mario & Karina

Mario Lopez: Actor and TV host. He was A.C. Slater in Saved by the Bell, one of my favorite show (but Zach was the one I’m crazy for.)

Karina Smirnoff: Ukrainian. First timer.

Ok, the photo I pick doesn’t do his cuteness and hotness justice. You’ll have to watch the clip yourself. In the clips showed before the competition, we saw Mario jumping up and down like an ADD kid. I admired Karina’s patience and was surprised that they were able to present such WOW show. Carrie Ann gave the “The couple to be” compliment. My goodness this was only the first run. They scored two 9’s this evening. We’ll see if they can keep it up. (Til now, those who blossomed early haven’t been able to win the title.) Ps. Mario was super cute and nervous.

Shanna & Jesse

Shanna Moakler: Former Miss USA/Actress. She’s going through her divorce recently. She agreed that it’s a good and healthy way to take her mind away from all those troubling stuffs.

Jesse Desot: first timer.

Stiff. No flow.

Harry & Ashly
Harry Hamlin: L.A. Law star, Last season’s Lisa Rinna’s husband.

Ashly DelGrosso: formerly partnered with Master P and Joey McIntyre.

I agreed with the judges, seeing him sitting there for almost the entire second season, we expected more than what he presented us tonight. Not much hip action. Actually there’s not much of any movement at all. And we can clearly see that Ashly’s leading. He needs to loosen up, and then we can see if he can dance or not. But like the poor Ashly said, the training they did for this run was already more than what Master P did for the entire season, so she’s happy, grateful. At least Harry’s really willing to learn.

Vivica & Nick

Vivica Fox: Actress (Independence Day, Kill Bill)

Nick Kosovich: partnered with Tatum O’Neal in second season (I don’t even know who that was.)

Vivica is so energetic! When asked if ever danced before, she answered, “well, I played a stripper in Indepedence Day.” She has vivid facial expression. Her posture can be improved, but overall, she did it beautifully. Not my ideal of Foxtrot though. She looks too powerful.

Jerry & Kym
Jerry Springer: The Jerry Springer Show.

Kym Johnson: debut.

Never watched his show; however, he’s really hilarious. If only he can take it more seriously in this. He didn’t seem to consider Kym as a part of the competition. He shouldn’t think about quitting so easily. Nothing much to say about his dance. He’s better than Tucker, but just better than Tucker (who, if you still remember, gave an awful performance and enjoyed every bit of it.)

Finally. All done.
