Alright, everyone, first thing's first, c’mon and say it (because you
know you want to!) … “Awww!!”

The Hero and the Dancer (by Dancing
With The Stars) ... how sweet is that?!
Not to mention, Emma
broke Alek's nose which - let's be real here - was unfortunate but completely endearing to the duo's
whole “Couple” imagery! (“All worth
it!”, Alek would later point out with a mile-wide grin!)
I thought this routine was absolutely beautiful, and the seemingly-budding romance enveloping this performance only helped to make this dance one
of my favorites of the Season thus far!

I now know what a pity it is that we, as fans of the show, have never
had the pleasure of seeing Emma choreograph a Rumba since first participating
as a Pro on Season 17! … I loved it!!

And what about Alek?! Seriously, is there a Ballroom challenge that he
cannot overcome without the seeming greatest of ease?!!
His Frame was excellent, his Lines strong, and his Musicality dead-on!

His Hip Rolls were, admittedly, a little stiff; but, in the end, it
cannot be denied that this dance rated an EASY all-9's scoring!
SO WHAT WAS WITH ALL OF THE 7’S?!!!
Good grief, Judges, have you all gone mad?!
“… I do have to say, that it's okay to show that you enjoyed it,”
cautioned Judge, Julianne Hough,
when critiquing Alek's facial expressions in the dance (which, by the way, did
not “express” so much as “scream” his obvious enjoyment …). “… You’re this close,” she continued
emphatically, “from going from here for me, to like there!”
“Well, part of his face was numbed by her elbow!” the ever-hilarious
Host, Tom Bergeron, reminded
her just before Guest Judge, Maksim
Chmerkovskiy, piped up and admonished with, “… For me you are the Dark
Horse of this competition, for sure! … you have great Lines, you're very
sturdy, I feel like every girl feels very secure with you … you can let your
emotion be part of the dance! …”
Uh, excuse me, his “emotion” was "enthralled"
in this dance! Honestly, guys, what have
y'all even been looking at, because it could not have been this dance!
This performance was 100% stunning, captivating, and romantic; AND, it is you guys who are totally killing the
mood here with your blatant stupidity! … “C’mon, let it go! Just let it be! …”

“I enjoyed it!” smiled Alek, upon receiving his ridiculous scoring of one 8 and three 7’s. Right on, Alek! We all enjoyed it, too! <sticking tongue out at judges>
