FINALLY!  A TV theme that can be danced to … I don’t know the show; but, at least its theme has a beat!!  Seriously, what Producer even came up with this ridiculous, waste of a Theme Night ... or at the very least, what deluded turkey selected tonight’s music line-up? There are at LEAST a dozen TV themes - new and old alike - that would have been FAR-better suited for Monday night’s show!

But I digress! … Alek & Lindsay absolutely killed it!!

There are few other words for Lindsay’s brilliant choreography of this dance other than exquisite, superb, and thrilling; and, as for Alek’s dancing, it was - simply put - nothing less than a delectable Tango-ing Treat!!

His Frame was excellent, he led the dance beautifully, and the amount of violent passion which he brought to this intense performance quite literally shocked me!

And for once, the judges seemed to agree! …

“ … true talent runs in your blood! …” quipped judge Bruno Tonioli; and judge, Julianne Hough, also stated, “ … I thought that was perfection!  In my opinion, I think you have one of the best Pros … what’s she’s done with you.  I think you have the best Technique of anybody in this competition!”.

Even guest judge, Alfonso Ribeiro’s, comment didn’t <Ahem!> suck:  “You are a Hero,” he smiled (granted, a little too condescendingly for my taste but, regardless … ), “you danced like a Hero tonight!”.

Despite, however, the Judging Panel’s overtures of praise, this terrific routine received only one “9” (from Julianne), and three 8’s … What up, guys?!  How can you give such a score when you awarded Alexa & Mark’s less-than-impressive Jazz Number with ALL 9’s??!!  Honestly, get it together, people!
