Robert & Kym - Review of DWTS Season 20, Week 06

DWTS Season 20, Week 06

REVIEW:  Robert & Kym

Robert & Kym:

Robert Herjavec and his professional dance partner, Kym Johnson, danced what the couple was calling a Jive, Monday night, to "Surfin' Safari" by The Beach Boys (Love that song!).

Well, unfortunately folks, Robert merely continued his dancing-downhill-spiral this week, although Carrie Ann Inaba raved, " ... You didn't miss a step! ... ", before explaining to him and the general public what his only problem in the dance was:  Rushing the music.

I'm sorry, Carrie Ann (and Robert!), but with this insanity, I simply cannot agree.

Robert & Kym were in time with the music; and the problems that were exhibited by Robert during the course of the routine were, in fact, several in number, and were as follows:  Robert was heavy-footed, his kicks and flicks were not-at-all sharp, and he even lost his place at one point and fell out of step momentarily!

Julianne Hough commented to Kym Johnson that she appreciated the fact that Kym avoided dumbing down the choreography for Robert ... Now, I'm all for Pros doing their job (and doing it well!) by adjusting little things here and there, including the choreography, in order to make their amateur, celebrity partner look as good as possible, but let's not call it what it isn't!

In the end, I tend to agree with Len Goodman (I know, finally, right?!) when he said, " ... It's better than last week, so there! ... "

I really, really hope Robert can do better next week, I like him, and you have to give it to him ... he's unflappable (when it comes to the judges' comments and scores), and he always comes out on the ballroom floor and gives the the performance his all!

Ooo, oooo, and I loved the Thunderbird! Very classy, Robert (That was yours, right?) ! ;)
