DWTS Elimination: Kim & Sasha AND Von & Witney – Season 22, Week 07


Kim Fields and Sasha Farber
AND
Von Miller and Witney Carson
ELIMINATED
on Dancing With The Stars




Dancing With The Stars' Fans and Ballroom witnessed the dismal departure of not one but TWO Couples last Monday Evening as part of the show’s unnerving Double Elimination Night!

The Facts of Life Star, Kim Fields,

and Super Bowl Champion MVP, Von Miller,

each unwittingly closed down their respective, gratifying Seasons with one last Latin Hoorah, with Fields having performed a  (suffice it to say) Subpar Samba to a Jackson 5 hit – solidifying her as one of those unfortunate DWTS few to end their dancing Weeks on their worst Dance to date

– and with Miller (in stark opposition) having performed one of his best Dances to date, thrusting out a kingly Salsa to an Elvis Presley classic!

The Eliminated pair capped off 
their last Competitive hours under the Glitter Dome's roof, each taking part in opposing Team Dance Freestyles in an all out, Guys vs. Gals, Ballroom showdown with Miller’s James Brown crew firmly defeating Fields' Beyoncé ladies.

I must say that I had found myself a little more than shocked at the Night’s final result of sending Von home along with Kim (who, let’s face it, had to be the next Celeb to hit the California bricks, however unfortunate), seeing as how it was CLEARLY GMA Meteorologist Ginger Zee's turn to go next, having consistently displayed a much lazier form of dancing and Performance pizzazz overall throughout the Season!

Not to mention, I find it hard to believe that Super Bowl's reigning Champ – and, let’s not forget, MVP! - Von's Football Nation votes failed to effortlessly SQUASH (what would presumably be) Ginger’s  comparatively insignificant crowd of Weather-watchers.

Upon being formally Eliminated from the Ballroom, Kim expressed a fair amount of surprise concerning what she clearly deemed to be her untimely exit (which reaction inspired within myself an equal, if not, much more amused emotion), before graciously noting that she was “grateful for the opportunity” to have been part of the show, while Von commented that his time on the show had allowed him not only a pleasing life experience, but also the making of a new-found and endeared friend as well, remarking, “… It's been so much fun!  … Me and Witney, we have a special relationship …”

DWTS Season 22, Week 07

REVIEW:  Team Dances 



In an always gratifying display of Fabulous Teamwork, DWTS Seasonal Round of Team Dancing came and went once more with few surprises, but a whole lotta fun!
 

Team Beyoncé:

Hmmm.  An overall 
disastrously UNDERWHELMING affair – And an inordinately Out of Sync one at that! - this (Dare I say?) seemingly PHONED IN Chorographical Wreck of a Performance offered very FEW pleasurable aspects, including (and tragically LIMITED to!) some sub-par nods to the ever-thrilling, musical antics displayed by its Singer inspiration, Beyoncé.

It does seem worth noting, however, that the Individual Team of Paige & Mark unarguably killed it, whether dancing together, in a Group, or apart,

and that the suddenly-Progressive Duo, Ginger &Valergo saw some much, MUCH LESS definite highlights themselves!

Jodie & Keo were more or less impressive as well, although neither Jodie nor Ginger did very well with the In Sync Group Segments.

Kim Fields (now prepare yourselves for the Facts of Reality!) is, most unfortunately, not even worth discussing, as little to no actual Dancing took place with this Celebrity during the whole of the Routine.

All in all (and with respect to the gal(s) who ACTUALLY did well … <Loud Cough> PAIGE!), I found this Dance to be a Mood-downing, Epic Fail of a Routine, and was very glad for the “8”s which it received from the show's Panel Judges.

<Rubbing Temples in Disappointment>. Ugh!  C'mon ladies, now get in formation and prove to me that you’ve got some coordination, ‘cause I’ve yet to see it!
 



Team James Brown:

Ow!  I feel good, like I knew that I would now!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the night's all-Male Freestyle Dance and pos-o-tiv-ly KILLING it, it’s the TERRIFIC Teaming of Von &Witney, Nyle & Peta, Wanya & Lindsay, and Antonio & Sharna!!

I mean to say I absolutely LOVED this Dance, its Crazy-Cool Choreography (Splendid job, Ladies!!), and its every little STELLAR Detail!

“So nice, SO nice!!” (get it?) and “10”s all around!!  … Wait, ... only “9”s?!!  What up, Judges?!

Of course, I guess it would make sense to let Team James Brown’s follow up Performance of Team Beyonce have a chance to one up their predecessors with the earning of all “10”s; but in hindsight, what a waste!



“Well, you know, the whole night, for me, has been amazing!” exclaimed Head Judge, Len Goodman, following the Performance. “The dancing, the standard, has been great; and, when I look at you people, you’ve not only had to learn your Personal Dance, but you’ve had to come out, work tight, get it together.  I salute the lot of you!”

Team James Brown celebrates after their
incredible performance!

And what about those Lifts?!  Those CRAZY, nail-biting Lifts that were so beautifully pulled off and 100% THRILLING to behold!!


“Well, it was like a Pizza,” Head  Judge,  Len Goodman, described of the Performance afterwards.  “It was a bit crusty at the base, but tasty up top; and, the Lifts were spec-tac-u-lar!  Well done!”

Yes, all in all, one simply couldn’t help but fall in love (Get it?) with this Dazzling Dance; and, speaking as one of its besotted, I would like to take this opportunity to say to Von & Witney concerning it (Ohhh, YES, I am SOOO going there! …) “Uh, Thank you .  Thank you very much!”

Von & Witney – Review of DWTS Season 22, Week 06


DWTS Season 22, Week 06

REVIEW: Von & Witney



Dancing Jazz to "Bad" by Michael Jackson, Super Bowl Champion and MVP, Von Miller, along with his Professional dancing partner, Witney Carson, presented their Famous Dances Night Routine!

You know he's bad!  (He's bad!)  Who knew it?!


Von & Witney

Honestly, when I heard that this 6'3" Sports Star would be dancing Michael Jackson-style to, well, Michael Jackson, I was just a little more than worried for his Week 06 Score!

But the re-paired, "Thriller"-Duo that is Von & Witney just came out on Monday night and proved that they have still (and very much so!) "got a good thing going"!


Von & Witney
DWTS Season 22, Week 06

A no less than FANTASTIC display, this "Off the Wall" Routine for Von included all the right and "Smooth Criminal" Moves, as his In-sync Steps, and delightful Character Portrayal helped to make this Performance one of Von's best to date!!

Naturally, we also cannot forget his ever-radiant and brilliant partner, Witney, whose completely Pro and Creative Know-how was CLEARLY at an all time high, as she seemingly effortlessly pulled off - what was previously shaping up to be – a nearly-impossible Ballroom feat!

"… You were killing it!" voiced Panel Judge, Carrie Ann Inaba, once the Dance was over, "… What I loved was that everything had your own spin on it!  'Cause you're bigger [and] there's only one 'king of pop' … You brought your own style and flavor, and it had a rougher edge to it, and I loved it!  'Dangerous'!"

"It's not 'Thriller', Miller, it's 'Bad'!" agreed Head Judge, Len Goodman, "But I mean good 'Bad'! You didn't need that Wind-Machine, you've got a Fan here!  That was terrific!"
