Nastia & Derek - Review of DWTS Season 20, Week 06

DWTS Season 20, Week 06

REVIEW:  Nastia & Derek

Nastia & Derek:

Nastia "What-do-you-want-from-this-poor-girl" Liukin and her under-appreciated professional dancing partner, Derek Hough, danced the Tango Monday night to "Summer" by Calvin Harris.

Nastia & Derek Dance The Tango

Len Goodman judged the couple's dance to be riddled with error:  " ... You gotta have the slow! … It was all too fast, it was too much rotation! ... "

I just have to ask ...

What in the world were you looking at, Len Goodman!?!  The ceiling?  Your shoes?  Because it sure as heck wasn't' the ballroom dance floor, whereupon a Tango was being so brilliantly and PERFECTLY executed!

Nastia Liukin & Derek Hough's Tango
was absolutely brilliant! 

An 8?  Seriously, Len!?!

That Tango was excellent and it most certainly included slowdowns (Fantastic choreography, Derek!), and, BTW, did you see the spin-ny thing-y on the floor? ... No, did you??  That was amazing!

Nastia & Derek
 Nastia's spin on the floor was amazing!

Also about the dance Julianne Hough  said, " ...I felt like you didn't connect together as a couple ... " ... You're actually right, Julianne, there was about as much "connection" between Nastia and Derek as there ever is between two Pros dancing a coming-back-from-commercials dance ... very well spotted!

Week 06, Spring Break Night

Carrie Ann Inaba commented that Nastia keeps falling back on her Gymnastics rather than properly executing this other form of art called dance:  " ... You go back to Gymnastics, this is a new art form! ... You have to just allow yourself to dance!"

Okay, what is Carrie Ann even talking about!?!  That's absurd!

I know this may grate some people ... the truth can hurt sometimes ... but, so far, for the competition of Dancing With The Stars Season 20, there's Nastia, Riker, Rumer, Noah, and then there is everyone else ... and I am growing tired of the judges condescendingly acting as though Nastia is doing pretty well for herself ... considering the unfortunate fact that the poor dear is a Gold Medalist, not a dancer.

Nastia & Derek Dancing a Pro-level Tango

Honestly, judges, can y'all please get your acts together!
