DWTS S24 W7: Movie genres night!

Sorry for the late review. I didn’t have the time to watch the show earlier this week.

It’s movie genres night, which is a fresh twist on the occasional movies night. It feels like forever since we have had a proper opening with dancing. Also it’s kind of part of ABC/Disney’s advertising plan for Descendants 2. I liked the first installation of Descendants but I didn’t think it was big enough to promote on DWTS. It doesn’t really cater to the main demographic. Also, I thought Disney week would have been a more apt theme to promote the movie on (speaking of, when will we have couples dance to Descendants songs for Disney week?) Then again, they did promote Teen Beach 2 a few seasons back, and that movie was a total flop so...yay Descendants!

We also had the immunity challenge, which makes eliminations harder to make sense of because it grants immunity for an elimination based on the previous week’s scores but gives you extra points that count towards next week’s elimination (which is based on this week’s scores.) Kinda loopy.

lastly, Mandy Moore sits in for Julianne who is still on the Move tour. I’m pretty bipolar about her work - I like some and think some are absolutely boring or overrated. I also associate her more with SYTYCD (whoops. Where’s Ruby Castro to mix up shows for me?) I thought she [insert opinion].

Bonner and Sharna Western Paso Doble Len says this dance was “made for Bonner” and Bonner himself seemed pretty excited. I disagree though. Paso requires a lot of intensity in the movement that Bonner still is not comfortable bringing to the table. I think his best moment was when he was dancing with the two Britt/any troop members. The actual dancing also took really long to start. I also disagree with CAI - Bonner isn’t graceful helLO. The moves also felt very disjointed between the complicated staging and side characters. 7-7-8-7 T29

Nancy and Artem Romantic Tango It’s nice seeing Nancy have a good-going week this time. Nancy looked great in that red dress. Artem choreographed a very good dance full of content. I thought the song was a tad too fast and Nancy could have been a bit sharper in some moves. But she had very nice lines, very pretty. 9-9-9-9 T36 Artem is really happy.

Simone and Sasha Silent Film Charleston This dane was so cute! It suited Simone and Sasha really nicely. Loved how Sasha managed to incorporate so many tricks while not loosing sight of the charleston style. The backdrop projection was a great touch. Same with Len - should have more swivel. I don’t see what’s wrong with being on “autopilot” - like Simone said, at this point, they’ve rehearsed so many times that the dance would be muscle memory (or “natural” as Simone puts it). I’m sure that’s what it’s like when she performs her gymnastics routines at the Olympics. I think Mandy was trying to say that Simone needs to connect more with her partner/the audience/reality but kinda misphrased it. 10-9-9-9 T37 I thought they deserve at least one more ten.

And now for a very evil interruption to promote Descendants 2. I’m not a fan of Mal’s (Dove Cameron) new wig, and her dancing was kinda tame next to the other three leads. Sofia Carson (Evie - girl in blue) stood out in particular, but sounded autotuned in the soundtrack. Also it was pretty obvious that the music was pre-recorded and everyone was lipsyncing. The new song sounds great, and I loved that they threw in the techno section from Rotten to the Core with the original choreography.  Cameron Boyce (Carlos - guy without the slouchie hat) looks particularly good with the longer hair.

Descendants and Descendants 2 are both directed by Kenny Ortega who should totally guest judge DWTS again some day.

Now back to the show.

Nick and Peta Action/Spy Argentine Tango Nick plays a spy tasked with impersonating Maks. No not really. I think Nick’s posture was wonky at times but as Len said his confidence was also there. i feel like the mistakes kinda took away from the aura he was trying to bring as a spy. The costume also didn’t help - it looked like he was a random dude helping Peta the spy. 8-8-9-9 T34 i think those 9s were too much. Mandy and Bruno shouldn’t be giving nick the same score as Simone.

Rashad and Emma Horror Paso Doble So Rashad is a ghost who was a serial killer who danced with the dead bodies of his victims. Sounds like something you hear on a ghost-hunting movie. The CGI lightning was soooo fake. At  the beginning I noticed Rashad’s footsteps were kinda heavy and I’m not sure if that was part of his zombie-like character. It got better as the dance went on. Overall this dance was fantastic though! 9-9-10-9 T37

At this point, Erin pointed out that Rashad and Simone were tied in contention for immunity and Emma, playing along, asked “what happens now?” That Erin said “We’ll see what happens when someone gets a perfect score” seems a bit suspect. Like the producers already planned in advance that someone must get a perfect score. Just putting that out there.

David and Lindsay Sci-fi Salsa That’s actually not as big a tongue twister as you think. “Sci-fi salsa”. Hilarious package. I liked the song. Need to check it out. Not a lot of hip action disguised by the robotic movements. Lots of salsa. A small hip hop section at the end. 8-8-8-8 T32

One of the troupe guys looks like Tom Felton on The Flash.

Normani and Val foreign film Argentine Tango Normani hurt her back this week - presumably from trying to learn tricks for the AT. But I think it might be a thing from travelling - you don’t get to sit and sleep in very healthy positions all the time so it could have already put stress on her joints that got worsened by the rehearsals for the AT. This was the first dance from Normani in a while that I felt was actually as good as the judges said it was. Normani’s feet - particularly her toes - were not pointed. But that kinda applies to everyone. I feel like they didn’t really capture the idea of “foreign films” apart from the fact that their song was a foreign language cover of “Perhaps perhaps perhaps”. Like, I dunno, even western films are dramatic. TPTB could have given them something more distinct. 10-10-10-10 T40 predictable, but I can live with this one.

I always like the sort of “trailer” they make for the dance-off. LOL at Nick’s “I like Laurie Hernandez better”.

I’ve listed the dance off pairs as [celeb who picked opponent] vs [celeb who picked style]. Except for the last pair because they don’t get to pick anything.

Simone vs Nancy Chacha Just as well, because neither ladies have done jive or rumba (if I remember correctly). The camera work was a total mess during this dance-off. They cut away from Simone too late after it was her and Sasha’s turn to dance alone, then cut back to Sasha counting time before Nancy’s part ended. I think they should go back to the format where one couple dances first then the next couple goes. Also makes it easier for viewers to see both couples’ full dances. Plus, it gives couples space to use the whole dance floor so the dancing doesn’t feel so on -the-spot. I thought Nancy looked more at ease in the style but had simpler steps, while Simone was did some harder steps but looked a bit stiff and jerky here and there. I like both couples but I would personally give this to Nancy. Simone x4 form judges, Simone wins America’s vote 63%

Rashad vs David Jive “Rashad who do you want to dance against?” “Err, nobody.” hahaha. Anyway, has Rashad done ANY of the dance-off styles? Nevertheless, it was obvious he was going to win. His dance was full of content while David started his section alone with Lindsay off time and had more “filler” moments. Is it a coincidence that they both ended with the same pose? Also, I went “awww” when Sasha and Emma kissed then chortled really loudly when David went in for one too. Rashad x4 from judges, Rashad wins America’s vote 54%

Bonner vs Nick Rumba Bonner caught my eye at the beginning - not sure if it’s the camera angle, but I saw Bonner doing more while Peta was just kinda dancing around Nick. However, I feel like Nick had more fluidity. I saw really great hip action towards the end. Bonner had more memorable choreo and a trick that started out well but he lost balance and stumbled very obviously. I would have given this to Nick. Bonner x3 from CAI, Len and Mandy, Nick x1 from Bruno. Bonner wins America’s vote by 62%.

Normani’s already safe. also safe are Simone, Rashad and...Bonner. Last person safe is David, so Nancy and Nick are eliminated. I’m sad to see Nancy go. Not entirely shocked. More surprising is that Bonner survived. He must be getting lots of votes. He won America’s vote by a pretty big margin against a Bachelor contestant. Granted not the most popular Bachelor, but Bachelor contestants have been known for staying on the show past their due date thanks to a rabid built-in fan base. Plus, Sharna is really popular. This means Bonner and Sharna could shockingly knock someone out of the top four or three.

Note that next week’s elimination includes scores won from the dance off:

Normani - 43 Simone/Rashad - 40 David - 32 Bonner - 32

I might do some data analysis and share the results here soon.

ETA: I did some calculations and it looks like Bonner might not pull off a shocker next week as I first thought.
