Calvin & Lindsay – Review of DWTS Season 23, Week 11


DWTS Season 23, Week 11 REVIEW:  Calvin & Lindsay



Calvin & Lindsay 
DWTS Season 23, Week 11
- The Finals


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.
