Pow!!  Right. In. The. Kisser!

Wow-ee, talk about your spicing up of the Glitter Dome, this Dance was Incredible!!

Paige & Mark

DWTS Season 22, Week 09

- Semifinals

Genius Choreography by Mark – What else? – stunned on Monday evening’s already heated Dance Floor and seized the attention of its gaping viewers when Season 22’s Dynamite Duo, Paige & Mark, absolutely KILLED this mature Latin Dance Number!

DWTS Season 22, Week 09

- Semifinals

Exquisite Lines, Formidable Footwork, and some truly Creative Costume Changes enveloped this Passionate Routine – Not to mention, some brilliantly borrowed Hough-Table-antics! –

- Semifinals

resulting in yet another <Ahem!> knock out Performance for this dazzling Couple!

Paige & Mark

DWTS Season 22, Week 09

- Semifinals

Granted, there was one moment during the Routine where the always bright and bubbly VanZant’s own amusement concerning the Adult-flavored Performance seem to get the better of her, causing her to break Character; but, otherwise, a 100% STELLAR Display!!

“… The thing is,” remarked Head Judge, Len Goodman, following the Routine, “with Dance, no one’s right and no one’s wrong, it's about ‘Taste’. Now, I think the Choreography was Brilliant! The Dancing was Brilliant!”

(Okay, well, so far at least, it would seem that our “Tastes” are aligned; and, excuse me, Len, but I am failing to see the problem here …)

“For me,” continued Goodman, “maybe a bit too hot and spicy! …”

Wait <Record Scratch>, WHAT?!  That was what you were driving at??  That this Number was too racey???  … THAT’s why you scored this Dance with a “9”??!!!

It was an Argentine Tango, for crying out loud! What did you want them to do, Len, hold hands and skip?!! ... Just sayin'!

“… You are just Phenomenal!” noted Judge, Carrie Ann Inaba, to Paige. “You push yourself in every single way, every time you go out there!  … I love the layers!  Like, you are powerful, you are athletic, you are erotic, you are sensual, you are sophisticated, you are dynamic, [and] I love watching you Dance!”

CRAZY Cute Choreography (Great job Mark!  Great job, great job, great job!!) flooded – or “strutted”, I guess! – onto Monday night's Ballroom Dance Floor, opening up Season 22’s highly anticipated Semifinals in all the right, outrageous ways, aided by a no less than PERFECT Performance Execution by this Season's very own Dynamite Competitor, Paige!

“This is such an important night!”began Head Judge, Len Goodman, when opening up the Judges' critiques, following the Routine. “Tonight we start the Voting and Scoring to crown the Champion. So the road to ‘The Winner' begins right now! Let me tell you something, you've started with a showstopper! … File it under ‘B’ for ‘Brilliant’! Well done!”
