So, Terra Jolé
and her Professional Partner, Sasha
Farber, were Eliminated last night from Dancing with the Stars.
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!!

Performing a Rumba to “Scars to Your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara, Terra Jolé and her Pro Partner, Saha Farber, danced their Week 10
Routine.
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Okay, so maybe NOT her best!
But wonderfully charming all the same!!
Portraying an unexpectedly sweet and story-telling take on
The Dance of Love, Terra’s
first Round efforts, although undeniably flawed at times, still served to
tear-jerking-ly captivate its audiences – A seemingly stereotypical by-product
of ALL of Terra & Sasha’s
more emotional Dances! – and gracefully showcase everything we, the fans, LOVE
about this particular Performer and her Pro!!
Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 10
Beautiful, you two, and very well done!! See video (below) to watch Terra & Sasha's Rumba on Week 10 of DWTS, courtesy of Dancing With The Stars' great YouTube channel!
Participating in Season 23’ Team Up Challenge, James, Sharna, & Jenna with Calvin & Lindsay, Marilu & Derek with Terra & Sasha, and Laurie & Val with Jana & Gleb all took part in
Week 09’s exciting 2nd Round of Competition! …
Team Last Men Standing – James, Sharna, & Jenna and Calvin
& Lindsay:
Whoa, Nelly!
James & Sharna and Jenna
AND Calvin & Lindsay
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
Stirring up some mighty fine performin' with the dancing of
this exciting Paso, this particular artistic excursion into the Ballroom’s wild,
wild West – albeit most gratifying! –
was far more Entertaining than it was
Well Executed!
James & Sharna and Jenna
AND Calvin & Lindsay
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
Now, don’t get me wrong, for overall I really and
truly enjoyed this Number – Of course, it would be really hard NOT to, with its
inclusion of two of Season 23’s top Mirror Ball contenders!! – yet, it cannot
be denied that Calvin’s
dancing, though powerful and strong, was, in a word, Heavy-footed, and James’ dancing, though once
again defined by his EXCELLENT
Character Portrayal skills and all around Performance Pizzaz, came off seeming
a bit weak and watered down.
Even still, the overall presiding fun feeling of this
Routine – Thanks in large part to James and Calvin's talented pardners, Sharna, Jenna, and Lindsay!!
– remained evident and extremely pleasing throughout!
Nicely done, y’all!!
James & Sharna and Jenna
AND Calvin & Lindsay
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
Team Chicago Cubs – Marilu & Derek and Terra
& Sasha:
Um, WOW!!
Marilu & Derek
AND Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
… No, WOW!!!
Seriously, now, folks, where did this magnanimous Jazz Routine even come from?!!
Marilu & Derek
AND Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
(Of course, we all know where it came from: The insanely
STUPENDOUS and creative minds of Derek
Hough and Sasha Farber,
that’s where!!)
Marilu & Derek
AND Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
I mean to say that this Dance just absolutely KILLED IT for Monday’s Team Up Challenge,
effectively bringing Manhattan’s Broadway right into DWTS' glittering Ballroom, pulling out all the show stopping-stops in one truly SPECTACULAR and exhilarating array of Choreographing Genius and Performance Pizzaz know-how!!!
Marilu & Derek
AND Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
… Even Marilu
couldn’t help but look halfway decent when dancing within this obscenely GREAT
Number, and naturally, as is only to be expected, Terra performed ever-BRILLIANTLY as well!!
Marilu & Derek
AND Terra & Sasha
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
<Whistling Loudly while Stomping the Floor>
BRAVO, bravo, you four!!! Encore!!
Team Sisters – Laurie & Val and Jana & Gleb:
Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting to you the ONLY Celebs to
have danced a “10”s-worthy Performance as part of DWTS' Team Up Challenge, within what was a no less than FANTASTIC Contemporary
Piece, I give you Laurie and Jana, kicking @$$, taking names,
and pos-i-tive-ly slayin' it for this final Showstoppers Night Routine!
Laurie & Val
AND Jana & Gleb
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
Gripping, dramatic, and daringly EXQUISITE, what else is really to be expected from the marriage of
these two great, Season 23 talents, whose pairing up for this Team was so incredibly gratifying!!
Laurie & Val
AND Jana & Gleb
DWTS Season 23, Week 09
Aided with what was, in a word, EXEMPLARY Choreography (Amazing work, Val and Gleb!!), this Dance served as the unequivocal BEST of Week 09’s 2nd Round of Competition, as well as one of the better ones of this entire Season!!
… Simply stunning.
GREAT job, guys!!
