DWTS results: Game, set, match

Submitted by adriennj on 03/28/2012 - 11:25
Our "Dancing With The Stars" correspondent Lennie G puts things in perspective:
 
The best part of last night's results show was the pairing of Matt Nathanson with the incredible Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland fame.  The song they did was great and the dancing from Peta and Tristan was just plain WOW.  
 
As for the results, the three couples in danger ended up being Martina and Tony, Roshon and Chelsie, and Gavin and Karina.  Roshon in danger and not Jack!  Oh my.  After Roshon and Gavin were sent to safety, Martina became this season's first eliminated star.  I guess women tennis players just don't get the dancing thing - remember the Monica Seles disaster?  I'm wondering if Chris Evert, who was in the audience the first night, might be the one to reverse this trend.  
 
Next week we're back to Latin dances when, hopefully, the competition will rise to the level of the first night.  Yes William, I'll be watching you!

DWTS: Some March Madness on the dance floor

Submitted by brookecain on 03/20/2012 - 12:06

Our "Dancing with the Stars" guest blogger Lenni G is back on duty this season, and she loved last night's premiere. Here's her recap:

Proving that "March Madness" can be more than the NCAA basketball tournament, last night's start to Season 14 was a total SLAM DUNK. Have to say this was the best first show EVER!  Not a single Star got less than 20 from the judges!!  
 
Here are the details:
 
Maria Menounos and Derek Hough went first with a cha cha.  Len thought Maria "coped very well" but felt she needed "meaner hips." Bruno found her "delicious," but felt she needed to be a bit more "sultry."  Carrie Ann felt she did a great job but needed to work on her movement between the various parts of the dance.  Thank goodness her dancing is better than her laugh which is just awful.  Judges' scores - 7's from all three for a total of 21.
 
Jack Warner and Anna Trebunskaya followed with a fox trot.  Bruno said it was "well acted and danced."  Carrie Ann said it took her to "a happy place."  Len said it had the "feel good factor" but felt Jack's technique was poor.  Not sure Jack had all the personality I like from a star though his dancing was pretty OK.  Judges' scores - 8's from Carrie Ann and Bruno, 7 from Len for a total of 23.
