Marilu & Derek – Review of DWTS Season 23, Week 09


DWTS Season 23, Week 09 REVIEW:  Marilu & Derek




Dancing the Samba to “December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)” by The Four Seasons from Jersey Boys, Marilu Henner and her Professional Partner, Derek Hough, presented their Week 09 Routine.

Oh, what a Number!  Oh, what a Song!  Oh, what a …. Sub-PAR Samba!!

(Can I get an <Eeek!>?!)

With a horrible Frame, sloppy Footwork, and that more than slightly disturbing segment where Marilu seemed to have suddenly turned part chicken – Seriously, did no one else catch that weird and out-of-place Head Bob displayed by Henner during this Performance???  … What WAS that?! –this less than memorable showing (… Perhaps for even the Actress herself!) was hardly deserving of the “6”s or “7”s that would have ideally been thrown at it in Judges Points …

… Much LESS the all “9”s that were actually appointed to it!!

(WTF?!!  Are these DWTS Judges just off their uncomfortable looking, straight-back, Judges-Rockers tonight, or what??)

That said, the Choreography of this Routine was very rhythmic, and pleasing (Stellar job, Hough, as always!), and the live Performance from Broadway’s Jersey Boys – which included the Ballroom’s very own Mark Ballas, singing lead as the one and only Frankie Vallie, was far more than gratifying!
