Man, Kherrington is not good at krumping.
not good.
no no no.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kherrington tried. But yeah.
That was so much fun! I am consistently blown away by Gev's carriage. He was really good. Courtney was good, too. Was the hip action exactly right? Well, not really. But I don't care. And Gev totally got the feel of the dance, too. Maybe it's the Russian thing?
OK, Mary!

Kherington and Twitch - Not nearly as bad as it could've been. Kherington definitely lost energy about 3/4 of the way through the routine and the last part just fell off. Twitch was awesome all the way through.
I really have issues with how they talk about hip hop, especially krumping, on this show.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
kat, I am actually offended by how they discuss hip hop. It is MUCH worse this year than previous seasons. I think they are overcompensating due to the perceived (or otherwise) competition from ABDC and this is fucking up their appropriateness meter.
How is it possible for them to sound even MORE ignorant this season than previous?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Kherrington's outfit was all wrong, too. She looked like a laker girl dancing with a guy from the hood!

See!!
I love Joshua and Katee. He's so sturdy looking, and then so light and lovely. (Now I hear Mary saying the dancing was NSM, but eh.)

don't you think Gev has had SOME ballroom training? I don't think he fell off the ballroom turnip truck yesterday.
You could totally be right. His carriage is insane for someone who's never danced ballroom.
Speaking of hip-hoppers with undercover training . . . Katee was exquisite in that and Josh got through it. Not a ton of closed hold in that dance. I don't know how difficult it was as a partner dance. The technique wasn't there, but I enjoyed it and they have a great connection as partners.
So is tonight "Let's knock Mark/Chelsie and Katee/Joshua down a peg" night? Salsa and Viennese Waltz? Really?
OK, Mary!
Ha! I'll take it. I need more rhinestones on, though. And a bad weave.
