Rick & Emma vs. Vanilla Ice & Whitney – Review of DWTS Face-off, Season 23, Week 03


DWTS Season 23, Week 03

Face-off REVIEW:

Rick & Emma

vs.

Vanilla Ice & Witney





Ladies and Gentlemen, Performing in the bad-out Battle of the "Paso Bobles" … er, Paso Dobles! … Former Governor Rick Perry & Emma Slater contended against their fellow Season 23 Competitive Cohorts, Robert Matthew “Vanilla Ice” Van Winkle & Witney Carson!



Rick & Emma:


Well, I have to say that if Paso-ing were a Walk, then Governor Perry would be crushing it!

Bu-u-u-ut, seeing as how the Paso Doble is unfortunately not a Walk, but rather a Dance, I’ll stick to saying that all in all, Rick & Emma’s Performance was most enjoyable!

Governor Perry's excellent Frame and natural ability to Lead – whether dancing or not -  easily remained in the peek-est of shapes throughout the Routine; and was drastically aided by Emma’s clever Choreography, which included one very impressive segment in particular, where the beloved Pro artistically faced-off against her Celeb Partner in an epic Moment and Spin around the center of the Ballroom’s Dance Floor, effectively saving this Number as a whole from the jaws of Judges’ Scoring Oblivion!





Vanilla Ice & Witney:


Ah!  … Now we’re talking!!


Exhibiting a much closer and more exhilarating adaption of the Paso Doble, Vanilla Ice’s take on this powerful Dance was unquestionably superior to that of his political challenger in most every way, barring that of a Great Frame.

Smooth, on point, and terrifically fierce, this “Ole!”-inducing Routine by Vanilla served to immediately set the standard of Monday night’s Latin attempts, as well as one of the better Dances of the entire evening!

Of course, and only too naturally, mad props go out to the ever lovely Witney whose – once again – SUPERB Choreography succeeded in drawing out every ounce of that non-music that she and Vanilla were made to dance to, creating what was a decidedly gripping Piece and Performance!

(And, BTW, that dramatic dress was positively KILLING it; you go, Wit!)

All in all, I 100% LOVED it, you two!  Amazing job!!
