Marilu & Derek – Review of DWTS Season 23, Week 08


DWTS Season 23, Week 08 REVIEW:  Marilu & Derek



Performing an awful Argentine Tango to “ Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” by Emily Browning, Marilu Henner and her poor, POOR Pro Partner, Derek Hough, danced their Week 08 Routine.

Well, it’s another up and another down for Season 23’s Marilu!

Now, to be almost painfully fair,it should be said that – ESPECIALLY when taking into account her unique circumstance of age within this on-going Competition – there have been times within Henner’s Dancing (including that of this latest effort) when she really does present some truly fine Lines during Lifts and in Hold; and, on the even more rare occasion, when an almost 30 whole seconds will pass knowing the brief success of some fairly nice looking Moving Pictures and Line-placement Sequences.

That said, it is no great secret that these fast-dimming glimmers of hope are all too few and so very far between, being further snuffed out by … Well, there’s really no other way to say it, is there?  Terrible Dancing!

Such was the (really quite expected at this point) case on this, Marilu's 8th Week of Competition, which once again passed with no real change or improvement worthy of any note … In fact,<Grimacing at her clunky Performance> I’d even continue on at this time to submit that she’s just getting worse!

(<Sighing with Wearied Frustration>And it’s not the length of your Rehearsal times, Marilu. It’s not that Derek pushed you too hard, or included too many Lifts within the Routine. It’s that you simply cannot Dance.  Nor remember the Dance Steps taught you. 

And that you STILL somehow see your PRO Partner, Derek, as a hindrance in these, your own faults, rather than the elite, best of the best, and, therefore, lucky break that he is!)
