DWTS: Top Four
This is make or break night for Marissa. The other dancers in the semi-finals are far and above better than Marissa. She’s going to have to pull off one heck of a magic trick in each of her dances to make it to the finals. This week, if I recall correctly, the dancers will draw for their latin and ballroom dances (I assume Cristian will use his GOOD arm). A little bit of insight on the dancers after the jump, as well as what they’ve been up to since we saw them on Tuesday.
Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani
Now, I have to say I’ve been rooting for Marissa (I love an underdog – and I’m not the only one). But now, I’m just torn. I think Cristian, Jason and Kristi belong in the finals. Having Marissa there would be like last season, when Marie made it to the finals and we all knew Marie had no chance to win it all. Let’s hope the most talented dancers make it through this week. I think Marissa will have to get serious about this competition. She’ll have to understand she could win – and MUST perform like she deserves to be there. Sad to say, she still has to prove herself. The others come out every week with the passion to win. She comes out just hoping to get some nice comments from the judges. The good news for Marissa: she has something to fall back on if this dancing thing doesn’t work out.
Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska
Jason is just fantastic! The fact that a guy his size can move the way he does is amazing! Guys, you really should take note – and I don’t just mean checking out the next-to-nothing wardrobe of his partner. Judging by this, his coach would prefer Jason was booted a long time ago. I don’t see him heading to training camp any time soon.
Cristian de la Fuente & Cheryl Burke
WOW! Cristian literally beat the competition last week with ONE ARM! Can you believe there are people out there who actually think Cristian is faking the whole torn tendon thing? He denies it all here. That said, I’m really hoping he can keep the momentum going this week. There’s only so much he can do with that one arm (even though he did some pretty amazing lifts with that good arm). I think it will all depend on the dances he gets.
Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas
Don’t think that a champion figure skater does not want this dinky little mirror ball trophy! Kristi has had two tough weeks, with Cristian and Jason knocking her out of the top spot. I expect her to dance like she’s never danced before tonight. She’s been hard at work on her two performances, but managed to have a little bit of fun.
Expect the judges to be extra careful who gets to see that “10″ paddle tonight. They’re expecting to see finalists here. Anyone who has the slightest misstep will not get that perfect score. So, Marissa, Jason, Cristian and Kristi (if you’re reading this) you’d better bring it!
