Nastia & Derek + Riker & Allison - Review of DWTS Season 20, Week 03


DWTS Season 20, Week 03

REVIEW:

Nastia & Derek + Riker & Allison





Nastia & Derek AND Riker & Allison:


Riker & Allison / Nastia & Derek
TIE for First Place!!

Samba Rolls and Swiveling, Salsa Hips collided Monday evening as an Epic Battle of the "Houghs" unfolded, spicing  up the ballroom for DWTS' Season 20 Latin Night!

Riker & Allison
Nastia & Derek














Look out, Derek  Hough, because there appears to be some seriously bad-out dancing skillz  pulsating through your family tree!
(Props absolutely must go out to Allison, BTW, for her excellent choreography!)

Riker jumps over Allison

I'll admit that up until Monday (Latin Night - Week 3) I still had my doubts as to whether or not Riker would be able to hold his own against his five-time-mirror-ball-winning professional cousin (even after last week's performance, when  Riker looked four times as much the contender!) but the team of Riker Lynch & Allison Holker shut (and once again dropped open some) mouths last night when they fired up the ballroom and Riker danced his best dance to date; setting the night's standard of  34 points with an amazing Salsa!

Not to be outdone, however, Nastia Liukin & Derek Hough readily met the young pop-rocker's challenge and closed out the show by matching the highest score with their dynamic Samba!

Nastia & Derek - Latin Night














Derek's choreography was, as usual, Latin perfection.  

BTW, did anyone else catch the unreal moment when the couple literally RE-WOUND a part of the Dance?!  

If Bruno Tonioli won't say it, I will; apparently, Nastia has a nasty side!  She totally killed it!!
