DWTS Season 20, Week 06

REVIEW:  Rumer & Val

Rumer & Val:

Rumer Willis and her professional partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy performed a Jazz routine to "Bootylicious" by Destiny's Child.

Honestly, and as much as it pains me to say it, I agreed with Julianne Hough when she said about this dance, "I was a little underwhelmed ... and there was a lot of walking around ...".

I also thought Rumer was a little heavy-footed at times (perhaps heels would have helped?)!

The choreography was fun but,
the flat shoes were a mistake ... sorry Rumer!

Don't get me wrong, overall I enjoyed the dance (There were those one or two hey-that-was-pretty-cool moves!);

but, it was just more "so-so" than anything else.

About the routine, Len Goodman said, "It's a ballroom, not a bedroom!" (to which the ever-hilarious Tom Bergeron replied, "Len Goodman:  Furniture Expert!").

I don't really think that's a fair judgment, Len, considering the fact that you yourself proclaim that dances like the Tango, Argentine Tango, Samba, Rumba ("The Dance of Love"), etc. all require a certain amount of "passion" and "hip action" to be displayed right on the ballroom floor before it can begin to meet the standards of the dance ...

And what exactly was Val to do when given a Jazz to choreograph to the song, "Bootylicious", as Val so rightfully pointed out to the judges and audience at large when being interviewed by Erin Andrews, before assuring us all, "We'll be back on track!"
