Marilu & Derek – Review of DWTS Season 23, Week 07


DWTS Season 23, Week 07 REVIEW:  Marilu & Derek



Performing a Charleston to “Never Forget You” by Post Modern Jukebox, feat. Addie Hamilton, for Week 07’s Eras Night, it's DWTS' one and only 6-time Mirror Ball Champion, Derek Hough, and his totally-doesn’t-need-his-input-or-anyone's-for-that-matter-celebrity Partner …. <Re-checking Writer’s Notes> …. Oh!  Whoops!!  My bad.  Make that Actress, Marilu Henner!

This dance was so cute!! ... Well, Derek's part was anyway. ... Marilu looked more like, Pinocchio from Hell!

"Pinocchio from Hell"


(Seriously, did anyone else catch a glimpse of Marilu’ facial expressions and general, wooden actions during her performance??

<Shiver> Ugh, it’ll just about give you the creeps!! I mean, what was she even doing with all that ridiculous nonsense anyway???)

In any case, folks, she’s got no [Derek] strings to hold her down, to make her fret or make her frown!

<Drumming Fingers with Frustration>

… She had [Derek] strings; but now, as we all can see, there are no more [Derek] strings on her!  (YAY?)

… Which development mi-i-ight explain why her Dancing and Performance levels have been PARTICULARLY bad of late … even for her, which, if one may so observe, is certainly saying something!
(Hey!  I don’t make the rules, Marilu, I just watch and enjoy the Show, but you may wanna re-think your newest “Formula” after this Week's low scores!)

That said, the Ballroom and Latin Phenomenon that is Derek positively KILLED it with the Choreography of this Routine,

proven by the fact that this particular DWTS Lover enjoyed it so, despite the frequent stumblings of Pinocchio, er, Marilu, throughout the Performance!

(… Sooo, I’m just asking:  When the [Creative] Power-hungry Puppet breaks away from its strings within a Horror Film, isn’t THAT the time that fans, er, people run away in terror?? … Just sayin'!)

One last note, and unfortunately, I can't say the same for both of you but, Derek, you totally killed the the tap dancing!  I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED that section!!
