Doug & Karina – Review of DWTS Season 22, Week 03

DWTS Season 22, Week 03

REVIEW: Doug & Karina

Dancing a Waltz to “Rainbow Connection” as sung by Andra Day, Quarterback Legend, Doug Flutie, and his Professional partner, Karina Smirnoff, presented their most Memorable Year Routine.
(If you weren’t just 100% sobered by this next Week 03 Dedication, I’m pretty sure that there is definitely something wrong with you.)

DWTS Season 22, Week 03

In a wonderfully executed, emoting Performance, Doug’s Waltz (being so perfectly Choreographed by Karina) beautifully told the bittersweet story of Doug’s two Parents, Dick and Joan, and their life-long love for one another in an all-consuming, Fairy tale-like Romance that is rarely seen or heard of, outside of a storybook, within this modern era.

“… 2015 is a year I’ll never forget” recounted Flutie, in his pre-Dance Rehearsal Package, “Dad had been ill, and he was in rough shape.  After a week in the hospital, my father passed away.  Dad had passed.  Mom got up, walked over, gave him a kiss on the forehead, and then, fell forward and was gone.  … I had the opportunity to let my father know how I felt about him, [but] I didn’t have that opportunity with my mother.  The doctor said the only explanation is, what they call, ‘Dying of a Broken Heart’.  It’s a Family Tragedy, but it’s also an amazing Love Story.”

… An enchanting Performance overall, this Waltz also served to supremely showcase Doug’s Fine Lines, his Graceful Footwork, and his nicely-intact, Firm Frame that was held throughout the Dance.

Of course, there was that one, tiny little Misstep and subsequent Slip-up towards the close of the Routine; but, let’s face it, no one even cares.

A remarkable and moving job in the end, Doug, and one that was very well done.
