Chris & Witney- Review of DWTS Season 20, Week 05


DWTS Season 20, Week 05

REVIEW:  Chris & Witney


Chris & Witney:

<singing> "Tiptoooooe through the tuliiiips! ... " ... Sorry, for some reason that song keeps getting stuck in my head whenever I remember this dance!

Chris Soules and his professional dancing partner, Witney Carson, danced the Quickstep Monday night to "Zero to Hero" from Hercules.

Chris & Witney at one of the best moments of their dance.















Well, Witney danced the Quickstep, anyway!
As for Chris, his dancing was more zero than hero, I'm afraid, as he seemingly "tiptoed" about the ballroom rather than performing the actual Quickstep; his complete lack of footwork, frame, and musicality being painful to watch at best!

Don't get me wrong ... I like Chris ... even though he made Witney cry!! ... but, I do hope that he'll give it a serious effort next week!

The Greek theme worked for Witney;
for Chris, not so much.

To top it all off, it must be said, (while I do understand what the costume department was trying to go for) poor Chris' dancing outfit, with its subtle feminesque flourishes, ended up coming off more Martina Navratilova … no … make that, Chris Evert ... than Grecian toga!

Witney, on the other hand, was perfect as always, and positively adorable in her Grecian get-up!  Plus, her choreography for this playful, Disney Night routine was absolutely marvelous!  
You go, Witney!!


The Hercules-inspired choreography was wonderful,
despite Chris' defeatist attitude in practice and performance.
