REVIEW:  Robert & Kym

Robert & Kym:

Sparks flew when Robert Herjavec and his dancing partner, Kym Johnson lit up the dance floor (and re-ignited more than a few "Showmance" rumors)

Robert "the shark" Herjavec is back!  It thrills me to able to report that Robert seems to have finally been able to pull himself out of his recent dancing-funk, as was made evident in this dance by his great rhythm and frame, and his ability to just relax and "get into" the dance, instead of appearing so uptight as though, with every step, you are frantically trying to remember the next one!

Granted, there were those one or two "missteps" throughout the dance, when Robert would re-position a badly placed foot but, otherwise, it was a very-well-executed number!  And it must be said, kudos on the seemingly-effortless lifts, as well!

Kym's choreography also took more than a few steps in the right direction, although there was that one, squatting moment on the small, white table during the routine that was a little uncomfortable ...

Overall, I really enjoyed the performance, and found the "8"s given to it by three of the four judges to be a fair-ish scoring, but I think that a couple of "9"s thrown in the mix would have been much more appropriate ... the "7" was far too low, Carrie Ann!
