DWTS Season 23, Week 11 REVIEW: Calvin & Lindsay
Opening up Season 23’s exciting Finals and Redemption Round
with the Re-dancing of a Viennese Waltz to “I Am Your Man” by Ryan Shaw, Calvin Johnson and his Professional Dance Partner, Lindsay Arnold, presented their
first Monday Night Routine.
(Arggghhh!) <Face Palming with Frustration>
Why-y-y-y?!
(Ugh! Way to drop the
ball (Mirror, that is!), you two, on
one of your most important Dances of the Season!)
Beautiful; lovely; but, primarily boring, I’m afraid this
first Finals Performance by the usually dead-on Target Duo of Calvin & Lindsay missed
its mark by a mile, having failed to not only redeem itself from when it was first danced way back in Week 03 of
the Show, but also from recommending itself at all as being ANY kind of
note-worthy Performance for - what quickly shaped up to be on Monday Night - an
evening for Incredible Dances.
(Forget “Redeeming” the Dance, this Ballroom Style, to me, was
actually WORSE its second time around for TeamLindsatron!)
Well, there’s always the NEXT Round!! … Here’s hoping TeamLindsatron comes out for Part Deux of Monday Evening and
does what they generally always do BEST, absolutely kill it!!
As a closing note, just WHAT was that “8” about, Carrie Ann Inaba?!! (It wasn’t THAT bad, just bad for the usually INCREDIBLE Standard held by Calvin & Lindsay, that’s all!) … For an accidental
Lift?! For THIS, you gave a Finalist an 8
right smack dab on the Week where EVERY little point can make or break a
Competitor’s chance of winning the Mirror Ball, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! I
mean, PUH-LEESE, that so-called Lift
was CLEARLY unintentional (AKA not
included within the Number’s pre-planned Choreography); and, anyway, Calvin’s like FOUR FEET higher than
Lindsay, or something, so you’d HAVE to expect some accidental Lift-age during such a tightly
structured and firmly Framed Dance as the Viennese Waltz, right?!! … No getting around it, you were wrong for that one, Carrie
Ann!
Sheesh.
