presumably all the better to cheer on his fellow Indy Car Racer, James Hinchcliffe for his biggest

Terra & Sasha
Eliminated
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Ouch!
<Re-checking Results>
…. Ow-w-w-w-w-w-w!!
Well, it’s official!
… We’ve officially hit that point in Season 23’s Competition when every
Elimination will hurt! … REALLY hurt!!!
That said, SOMEONE had
to go – Ugh! Can’t they just ALL win?! –
and finishing 5th in Week 10’s Semifinals is certainly nothing to shake a stick at! … Or a Mirror Ball, I guess … Whatever!! You get my meaning!
A truly terrific, historical, and memorable pairing for the
Show, Terra relates her
time spent with her Pro, Sasha,
upon exiting the Ballroom,
“Sasha has been extremely supportive throughout this entire
process … I’m so grateful to have him as my Partner!”
Gimme, gimme some lovin' for THIS next TeamStopandGo Performance!!
Okay, okay, so true (and MOST unfortunately!), James’
Jiving wasn’t the absolute best, his Kicks and Flicks being so very less than
sharp at times; but, it cannot be denied that, sharp or no, this Round 2 Formula
equaled Wildly Entertaining!!
James & Sharna with Jenna
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Fast, furious, and fabulously FANTASTIC, this high-speed
<Ahem!> race to Season 23’s next
Week's Finals was chocked FULL of
Dancing goodies, including that of GREAT Musicality, incredible, In-sync
Movements, and – We simply cannot forget! – a surprise appearance by one tough,
little Formula Race Car!!
James & Sharna with Jenna
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
(And might I just add, those jivin’ Outfits were KICKIN’it –and Flickin’ it, I suppose!
- as well!!)
Almost predestined to include the ever-talented and gracious
Jenna, this Trio’s trip around
the Ballroom’s track was, succinctly, quitethe terrific ride; and, I, for one, positively LOVED it!!
Terra & Sasha, with Artem:
Aha! So it DOES take Three to Tango!!
Terra & Sasha with Artem
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Sleek, chic, and deliciously rich in sharp aggression and
charisma, this powerful Trio Performance was something else!!
Terra & Sasha with Artem
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Exquisite Dancing by Terra,
aided, of course, with some truly splendid Choreography that was pos-i-tive-ly CRIMINAL – LOL!! I loved the Trench Coat and Cuffs, see? – this Tango effectively
turned up the Ballroom’s heat for Monday Night's Trios Round, taking its proper
place as one the absolute BEST Dances of the evening!!
Terra & Sasha with Artem
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Incredible!!
Jana & Gleb, with Alan:
Jana & Gleb with Alan
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing the <Ahem!> Thrill of the Night, it is this dwtslover’s INSANE pleasure to present to you Jana, Gleb, and Alan, and the Dancing of a very powerful Paso
Doble!!
Jana & Gleb with Alan
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
An amazingly passionate Performance that was <Ahem!>
firmly rooted in some mighty fine Technical Execution, this next Trios effort effectively DOMINATED the Ballroom for the space of about 2 minutes, during
which time it vaulted its Celebrity Dancer and Pros to an all-new Level of
supreme excellence!!
Jana & Gleb with Alan
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
(Seriously, are we checking out that incredible
Choreography?? Simply STELLAR!!)
Jana & Gleb with Alan
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
I mean to say that this Paso was Un-be-liev-a-ble, and, unarguably, one of the better Dances seen this Season!
Jana & Gleb with Alan
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
<Whew!!>. You KILLED
it, guys! GREAT job!!
Calvin & Lindsay, with Witney:
Well, hello-o-o-o!!
Calvin & Lindsay with Witney
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Presenting one truly “Ole!” of a Performance that’s almost
sure to make Season 23’s other Competitors <Ahem!> green with envy, this masterful display of Discipline-meets-Party
was a distinct pleasure to behold,
with its all kinds of crazy cute and widely fun moments that were PERFECTLY
mixed in with some WHOA!-Did-you-SEE-that??
Moments!
Calvin & Lindsay with Witney
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Complete with Rhythmic Dancing, one Double Leap Frog, one INSANE
Lift, and one equally impressively smooth Dismount, this exciting Performance seemed solely designed to OBLITERATE all expectations of Season 23’s Wide Receiver – an endeavor most successful, as this delighting piece just blew
away its audiences!!
Calvin & Lindsay with Witney
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Now THAT’S one
spicy Salsa (A little cheese is just fine, DWTS Judge, Julianne Hough!); and, I
gotta tell ya, I wouldn’t mind a second helping!
Calvin & Lindsay with Witney
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Loved it!!
Laurie & Val, with Maks:
Laurie & Val with Maks
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Well, it’s really no great secret that – generally – if you want better-than-the-Best, you’d better
include not one, but TWO Chmerkovskiy Brothers in your Routine …
Laurie & Val with Maks
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
which might explain why this last
Performance for Season 23’s FANTASTIC Semifinals Night was so supremely
Spectacular!!
Laurie & Val with Maks
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
An ADORABLE amateur concept that was so very EXPERTLY Executed, this Performance
KILLED it, being a splendid display
of Creative Genius and Talent!!
Laurie & Val with Maks
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
(Talk about schooling you on how it’s done! TERRIFIC!!)
Laurie & Val with Maks
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
AMAZING, you three!!

Dancing the Argentine Tango to “Santa Maria (del Buen Ayre)”
by Goran Project, James Hinccliffe
and his RETURNING (!!) Professional Partner, Sharna Burgess, presented their Semifinals Routine.
James & Sharna
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Ah! Sweet reunion!!
In a passionate display of trust and talent (and no small
amount of pure moxie!) the once more reunited– and supremely sublime! –duo of James & Sharna kicked off Season 23’s exciting Semifinals
with a blow-you-away-Performance (… Like, AWAY, away!) of one truly INCREDIBLE
Argentine Tango!!
James & Sharna
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
(And with that Hand Stand??
Are you kidding me?!!! … You guys
are nuts! And I LOVE it!!)
James & Sharna
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Talk about flying blind!
In an all new and –Might I just add? – INSANE twist on a
never-ceasing impressive tactic, this Dance had its Pro blindfolded (Um, <Wringing hands nervously> shouldn’t it be
the other way around??) as part of an high-risk and daring Semifinals strategy
that seemed almost DESTINED to go all kinds of wrong! … We-e-ere it not for the amazing ability
of one, James, whose steely
Execution and no less than EXQUISITE
Leading of this Dance effectively took his audience’s breath away and
cemented this Performance as one of the absolute BEST this Season – Oh, heck, of this entire Show as a WHOLE, for that matter! – has seen yet!!
James & Sharna
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
(I believe if Len
Goodman were here he’d say something like, Chances win Dances, well
done!)
… And so they do!!
Simply STUPENDOUS, TeamStopandGo,
I LOVED it, loved it, LOVED it!!
(… Sooo, quick question: Is DWTS Judge Carrie Ann
Inaba CRAZY??!!! A “9”?? SERIOUSLY?!! Get out of here! That Dance was 100% PERFECT!!)
Slayed it!!

Dancing a heartfelt Foxtrot to “Hollow” by Tori Kelly, Laurie Hernandez and her Professional Partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, performed
their Semifinals Routine.
Laurie & Val
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Well!
<Blowing nose loudly> <Sniff, SNIFF>
If THIS dramatic display didn’t make you at LEAST tear-up on
Monday Night – If not just out and out bawl! – I’m afraid I’m just going to have
to write you off as one of those cold, heartless, puppy-kicking types, ‘cause
this Dance was KILLER, both physically AND emotionally!!
Laurie & Val
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
(I can’t say I agree with milking poor Laurie’s Grandmother’s passing like that, DWTS!
… And right before she had to
Perform?? Geez, folks, have a heart,
would you?!)
That said, this Dance was, in a word, beautiful, and so very MASTERFULLY Executed!!
Laurie & Val
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
(I think one can easily tell that this Number – with its
particularly sublime Choreography and magnanimous Dancing of it – was done for
Grandma. And, furthermore, it seems more
than obvious that she would have been so very proud of her Granddaughter!)
Laurie & Val
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Exquisite!!
