Paula Dean was eliminated - while her dancing number - Madonna's "Vogue" - inspired piece - choreographed by her professional partner - Louis Van Amstel - normally a fine dancer/choreographer - went over like a proverbial "lead baloon".
Tom Bergeron - the famous, long time M.C. of this show - made a sarcastic remark about Louis' most positive moment out of the whole routine - being Louis diving under Paula's - big crinoline skirt.
On the truly positive side - Tamar Braxton - after last week's awful scores from the judges - this week - fully "came back" with a big fanfare by performing a magnificent Janet Jackson's inspired routine which appeared as if she lead - while it was choreographed by a super dancer/choreographer - ex-champion - Val Schmerkovski. They got perfect marks from all the judges this week.
The huge, albino boa constrictor routine in which the massive snake was wrapped around Alexa PenaVega - choreographed by Mark Ballas - inspired by Brittney Spears performance - was not the best in the world plus the set design looked messy with the dancers' costumes - to match with Mark Ballas'es costume and hair - looking haggard. The set designer, the costume designer and the hair/make-up - specialist - for this number - will not be nominated for any Emmys - anytime soon.
Over all the theme of doing the choreos based on the most famous movie dances - was an excellent entertaining device - preventing the viewers to be switching the channels too much. However - ABC shoving - at least - four commercial messages down the viewers' throats between the dances - is not a right or a pleasant phenomenon - at all.
At any rate - as always - don't forget to vote for your favorite couples and as always - click here for the next week's review. Next week show will have a hilarious Halloween theme - that's next Monday Oct. 26 - 2015 - 8 pm - ABC!
