Famous Dance Week

So Dixieland’s Celebrity Chef, Paula Deen, has been Eliminated and sent away, away, away down South, to Dixie!

Well, let’s face it, y’all, we all knew this was coming; but, I must say that the ride was surprisingly fun, and it was so nice that Paula got to leave on her best dance!

REVIEW:  Paula and Louis

Dancing a Jazz to “Vogue” by Madonna, Paula Deen and her partner, Louis Van Amstel, presented their Famous Dances Night routine.

Paula & Louis

DWTS Season 21, Week 06 -

Famous Dance Week

Well, Dixieland’s Dancing Chef was certainly in vogue for this performance as she struck a (surprisingly great) musical pose and danced what was most definitely her best dance of the Season!

Paula & Louis

DWTS Season 21, Week 06 -

Famous Dance Week

Great Musicality, fine Form, and a delightful in-Character Portrayal all came together on this night for Paula to create a very enjoyable Jazz number!

Paula & Louis

DWTS Season 21, Week 06 -

Famous Dance Week

To be honest, I probably wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t already seen it; but, I actually found Paula's routine to be way under-scored by the judges!

It was Jazz, guys!!  And it was Madonna’s live, VMA (Video Music Awards) rendition of striking a pose.  And anyone (actually paying attention) could see that Paula’s routine accomplished all of the above!

All 6’s?!!  That just wasn’t right.  Not only was Paula’s execution of this dance worth much more than that; but furthermore, this was Paula’s absolute BEST dance presented so far and her subsequent scores should have reflected that.

REVIEW:  Paula & Mark

Dancing the Jive to “Shake” by Otis Redding, Paula Deen and her back-to-his-old-self Professional partner, Mark Ballas, submitted their Switch Up Week performance.

Well, I’m not sure that Paula moved her body like she’s hip now so much as moved her body like she’s got no hips now; HOWEVER, that dance was just all kinds of fantastic, zany fun!

Paula & Mark DWTS Season 21, Week 05 -

Due props must, of course, go to Mark (who, I’m delighted to report, was once again his fun-lovin’, big-kid, creative-genius, and endearing self!)

Paula & Mark DWTS Season 21, Week 05 - 
Switch Up Week

for the choreography and execution of this playful performance; and, Paula’s dancing - while far from any kind of decent - was still somehow (and even inexplicably) quite enjoyable in her bad-Grandma-with-the-Milkman-crush role!

Paula & Mark DWTS Season 21, Week 05 - 
Switch Up Week

But despite the overall pleasing routine, I still think that the 7’s awarded this dance were a little more than generous, as this Jive certainly rated no higher than a 6.

REVIEW:  Paula & Louis

Dancing the Cha-Cha to “Respect” by (the one and only) Aretha Franklin, Paula Deen and her Professional partner, Louis Van Amstel, submitted their Most Memorable Year performance.

Paula & Louis

Most Memorable Year Night

Well, the swag was most certainly there ... much, I'm sure, to the shock of everyone watching, and likewise the Musicality was great; but, as for the actual technical execution of this routine, Dixieland' s dancing Chef just barely passed mustard and merely tagged a halfway decent standard.

Paula & Louis

Most Memorable Year Night

Paula’s performance level, on the other hand, was greatly improved, as she was clearly having a lot of fun with this dance, which in turn allowed her audience to do so!

REVIEW:  Paula & Louis

“Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of an adorable dance, when Paula & Louis performed for us all a minute-long Samba … a minute-long Samba!”

(If you’re unfamiliar with the theme from Gilligan’s Island, there is just no helping you!)

Dancing the Samba to “The ballad of Gilligan’s Isle”, by The Eligibles, from Gilligan’s Island, Dixieland’s Celebrity Chef, Paula Deen, and her Professional partner, Louis Van Amstel, performed their TV Night routine.

And I must say, that I found this routine to be incredibly cute!

What Paula may have lacked in technical steps (which granted, was a whole lot, yet there was some improvement!), the performance more than made up for with great fun and entertainment!

Hey, y’all, that rumba wasn’t half bad!

Actually, it was really pretty good which, I must say, completely took me by surprise!

Paula & Louis

Seriously, who knew that Paula Deen had such a sultry side?

Not to mention, her Lines were good; her turns, albeit imperfect, impressive; and, her performance level - overall - very much improved ... Well done!

As for her Tango, I thought that it was even better than her Rumba, with her dancing Frame being all the more improved!
