My Week 3 rankings (a bit late, but here!):
1. Jacoby and Karina (up 2) - Someone overtakes Zendaya for the first time. I was particularly surprised to see him be such an emotionally packaged dancer for this routine. He's known for being the fun guy or the joker of the pack in his football career, but this was a fantastic dance. I think this is the best Rumba I've seen from a football player, that I can recall.
2. Zendaya and Val (down 1) - As I said last week, it's hard to live up to two weeks of excellent routines. I thought that compared to her Jive, this wasn't great, but it was still a fantastic routine. American Smooth-style Viennese Waltz is normally portrayed on DWTS too so I don't think Len's comment was fair.
3. Aly and Mark (down 1) - I think she's probably the most under-rated dancer in the competition. People are looking at Zendaya, Kellie and Jacoby as the frontrunners that it's quite easy to forget Aly, but the truth is this was a fantastic Viennese Waltz. I think she's adapted more to the Ballroom dances, but she has Contemporary next week so hopefully she'll do a good job- I'm sure she will.
4. Kellie and Derek (non-mover) - I loved her Jazz routine, but put it in fourth last week because it seemed a lot more Contemporary. This week was a great Jive, but there were a couple mistakes and I didn't think Len was right in giving it a 9, as Jacoby and Zendaya had better dances I think (lucky they got the bonus points). Still a good routine, though.
5. Ingo and Kym (up 3) - I prefer his Latin to his Ballroom. I liked the theme of this dance, actually, and I think him and Kym make a good pair. The biggest worry for them is falling behind the pack in the race for being the most memorable.
6. Victor and Lindsay (up 3) - I didn't actually think this deserved the high scores it got - maybe 7s instead, but I love Victor's story and I'm really warming to Lindsay, who's becoming my favorite new pro slowly (sorry, love you too Sharna). But a big improvement.
7. Sean and Peta (non-mover) - This guy said he doesn't like fame, so why dress up as the builder from the Village People and mess around when he could take private lessons and learn how to dance without the outfit? His arms need extending a lot more, but not too bad.
8. Lisa and Gleb (up 2) - Actually, this was quite messy...but to be honest, I expected her to annoy the crap out of me but she's actually so damn loveable
And she's improving, this was her best dance to date and while not great, I hope she has another great routine.
9. Wynonna and Tony (down 3) - I rank her higher than she should be, to be honest, because she's hilarious to watch. I'm surprised she left as she has a huge country music fanbase. But if you watch any live performances she does, she's a real character on stage and while she's out of her comfort zone here, I don't think she gave it anywhere near as much character as she could.
10. Andy and Sharna (down 5) - Back near the bottom, I'm afraid. But it was too slow, too much story and not enough dancing. There should have been a lot more Cha-Cha-Cha, and let's face it, there wasn't. On a positive, Sharna looked great.
11. D.L. and Cheryl (down 1) - I think he comes across as quite rude, because he doesn't understand his dancing is terrible. And Cheryl just annoys me because...well, she's Cheryl. But I love her reactions when they get through, they do crack me up.
- couldn't make myself watch the whole ep, tho'
