REVIEW:  Geraldo & Edyta

Geraldo & Edyta

DWTS Season 22, Week 01

Dancing … (Weeell, sorta!) a Cha-Cha … (Oh, is THAT what that was?!) to “Treasure” … (As in, “National”?  No argument!  But, as in “Dance”??  Hmmm …) by the one and only Bruno Mars, … (who would have flipped in his grave … were he in one.  … Although, and come to think of it, Geraldo just may have inadvertently put him in one ;) …), Geraldo Rivera and his Returning Pro partner, Edyta Sliwinska, submitted their Week 01 Routine.

Well, I’ll say this for Geraldo, he’s got guts; and, you gotta hand it to him for just coming out there on Monday and throwing himself into the Performance like that!

Unfortunately, however, it seems no amount of Stage Charisma (or Golden Sparkles!) could serve to cover up for the lack of Musicality, Footwork, and (Oh, heck!) General and/or ANY amount of Fluid Movement displayed within this “Dance”!

Still, one can’t help but enjoy Geraldo, with or without the dancing aspect; and, should he continue on in the Competition, it seems worth noting that, historically, there is always room for improvement on the show, so who knows?  Maybe Geraldo will come back and do better for Week 02!

And anyway, the entire Routine wasn’t a COMPLETE waste as Head Judge, Len Goodman, so aptly phrased it in the end, “Well done!  Good fun!”
