(Part 02)

PART 02 of DWTS’ exciting, sequin-bedecked Semifinals saw Season 21’s only two Dynamite Duos, Bindi & Derek and Carlos & Witney, face off as they Brilliantly Battled it out on the Ballroom Dance floor in an all out Fabulous Fight for next Week’s glittering Finals, successfully meeting each other at the top of Monday night’s Leader Board in a gripping, edge-of-your-seat TIE of 60 points!!:

For their final Week 10 routine, Bindi Irwin and her Professional partner, Derek Hough, joined dancing forces with recently-Eliminated Pro and 2-time Mirror Ball Champion, Mark Ballas, and danced an artistic Jazz Number Trio to “Resolve” by Nathan Lanier.

Ladies and Gentlemen, earning YET ANOTHER perfect score of all 10’s from the judges, it’s the Dynamite Team of Bindi & Derek, and it is so (so, SO) very well-deserved!!

Bindi’s dancing and Technical execution proved once again, and for the third time this Night, exquisite (!) with her perfectly in-sync Movements, fantastic Frame, beautiful Lines, and some seriously-mad “Ninja” skills!

Bindi Irwin ... Mad Ninja

Of course, the combined choreographic brilliance exhibited by creative-greats, Derek and Mark, succeeded in making this dance yet another winning and unforgettable routine in an already long and distinguished line of performances conceptualized by this seemingly-unstoppable pair, with its exciting, artistic, and edgy Steps and Sequences,

although I did think that maybe the choreography of this dance leaned more towards “Contemporary” than “Jazz”!

Regardless, in the end, I LOVED it and found it to be one of the Night’s (MUCH) better and memorable dances!!

Teaming up with Season 21 Eliminated Pro and Season 13’s Mirror Ball Champion, Karina Smirnoff, to dance an AMAZING Charleston to “Booty Swing” by Parov Stelar, Carlos PenaVega and his Professional dancing partner, Witney Carson, presented their last Semifinals routine.

Well, first off, it should be said, I thought that it was very sweet and thoughtful of Witney to have remembered and selected Karina - Who, it can be argued, gave young Wit her start as a Pro on the show, back in Season 17’s Trio Round Jazz, with Corbin Bleu! - For this Trio!

And secondly, the Team of Carlos & Witney just totally, and once again, KILLED this dance!!

… And pulverized it, and stomped it into the ground, and set fire to it, and spread the ashes at Sea …

I mean to say, this Crazy-fun Charleston number has got to be one of the BEST Trio Round dances that the show has ever seen!!

ADORABLE, 1920’s-inspired, Charlie Chaplin-esque Choreography (WELL DONE, Witney and Karina!)

It would seem, however, that these thrilling efforts proved a rather pointless display of refined excellence when it came down to receiving a fair and just scoring, as the dance was yet again UNDERSCORED by Judge Carrie Ann Inaba, whose condescending awarding of a highly-offensive “9” was met with loud booing from the show’s live audience, and which prompted the show’s Host, Tom Bergeron, to purposefully pause the goings-on in order to voice the question, “ What would've been the difference between a nine and a ten for you? ” “I think, as a group, ... ” Carrie Ann answered lamely, “ ...it didn't all come together. ”

Okay, okay, that is it! You’ve finally done it, Carrie Ann ... You’ve overplayed your high and lofty, haughty hand; and now, we the Fans, no longer have to guess … Something IS most definitely out of place here as anyone who watches the show knows that, despite any “Off weeks” you may have exhibited throughout past Seasons in judging dance, you have never been (and are still not) that STUPID!

In my opinion, you know good and well that this dance was not in the slightest bit out of sync and therefore LIED (rather badly, I might add) about the reason/s behind your underscoring of this dance.

What is it, Carrie Ann, hmmm? Why are you seemingly going out of your way to be so very mean to poor Carlos & Witney?

Do you just NOT like them, or something?!

Have you ever even given the undeniably STELLAR #TeamBrownSugar a perfect score of “10” during this entire Season? Well, let’s see …

<Reviewing past scores given by Carrie Ann to Carlos & Witney since the beginning of the Season> A-ha! Here we are … okay, so your first perfect (so graciously bestowed!) score of “10” for the fabulous duo that is Carlos & Witney was for their Week 05 … oh, wait! My bad, that wasn’t Carlos & WITNEY at all! … Week 05, as we all know, was Switch-up Week, and so Carrie Ann’s first bestowed “10” was for Carlos & Lindsay, not Witney.

<Continuing to re-read past scores> Alright, alright, here we go … in Week 06, you scored Carlos & Witney’s Magic Mike Rumba with a “10”, but, c’mon and let’s be real here, that was probably due to Artem …

<Continuing my review of past scores> Well! I guess that was it then. Those were the only “10”s given by you, Carrie Ann, for Carlos & Witney … And one of them didn’t even involve WITNEY!

<Smacking head > Oh, wait, hold on a second! Is THAT it?! … Is it not “Carlos & Witney” but just simply “WITNEY” that’s bothering you?! REALLY ?!!

Are you, like, envious of Witney for some reason/s? … Because, if so, that would be just so very wrong, embarrassing, cliché, and (not to mention) plain pathetic.
