The right star went home! Nevertheless, I always feel sad when someone is eliminated. But at least Wendy won't have to put up with drag queen comparisons anymore. lol
What I didn't understand was Chris being in jeopardy. He's put on a pretty good show thus far, even if last's nights performance wasn't top rate. Kendra, I wouldn't miss too badly, only I don't think she'd be able to take that rejection emotionally.
Let's face it, these "stars" are putting their egos on the line. Having done live performances I can relate. You want the acceptance of the audience. Having had to endure auditions and hearing the gods of the theatre say, "Thanks. Next" is like a slap in the face. So, having to stand there and listen to someone tell you in so many words, you suck...wow, I just give anyone who can take it, without breaking down into Kendra tears, credit.
Kirstie and Max get my vote for favorite couple on the dance floor. I've actually seen a side of Max that I've never seen before, yet knew was there. Guess older women just know how to handle those younger egos. They're interaction is a joy to watch both offstage and on. But yeah, Kirstie, we all know why Max's hip gave out.
From the beginning I've said that most of the dancers are on an even "footing." But equally important is the connection between the couple and how they look together on the dance floor. I think, with the exception of Wendy, who would need Godzilla or King Kong to make her look petite and feminine, the couples are well matched. What say you?
CORRECTION: Guess I wasn't listening. When Max went down, it looked to me like he grabbed his hip. I've learned it was merely a muscle cramp. Well, hell, that's not Kirstie's fault. My apologies.
