DWTS Season 23, Week 09 REVIEW: Team Up Challenge
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!

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!

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!!

(Of course, we all know where it came from: The insanely
STUPENDOUS and creative minds of Derek
Hough and Sasha Farber,
that’s where!!)

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!!!

… 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!!

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!

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!!
