DWTS 14 Week 5: Five tens and a tie for first

Things were heating up on “Dancing with the Stars” on Latin night, with three teams receiving tens and a tie for the top spot. The celebrities for season 14 are all dancing well with the lowest score a 19.

• Vote online

Taking the top spot were two teams who performed the Argentine tango: Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins and her partner Mark Ballas  and Latin telenovela heart throb William Levy and his partner Cheryl Burke. They received the exact same score with only head judge Len Goodman refraining from giving them perfect scores, settling instead for a nine.

Goodman gave a nine to TV commentator Maria Menounos and and her partner Derek Hough. With nines straight across, that team was tied for third with last week’s leader, football player Donald Driver and his partner Peta Murgatroyd. Driver and Murgatroyd received a perfect score from Carrie Ann Inaba, but an eight from Goodman and a nine from Bruno Tonioli.

Menounos and Hough performed a salsa to “The Cup of Life” by Ricky Martin. Driver and  Murgatroyd danced an Argentine tango to “Sin Rumbo” by Otros Aires.

Menounos and Hough were the high score for salsa for Week 5, but Levy and Burke, who performed a salsa during week 3, still have the high score for salsa this season.

Jaleel White and Kym Johnson scored a 24 (8, 8, 8) to be the highest scoring samba of the night, but were the second highest score for that dance. Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower received a 25 (8, 8, 9) for this samba routine during week 3. Singer/actor Jack Wagner and his partner Anna Trebunskaya received a 24 (8, 8, 8) for their samba during week 3.

At the bottom, were Gladys Knight and Tristan McManus with a 20 (7, 7, 8) and Gavin DeGraw and Karina Smirnoff with  19 (6, 6, 7).  Both teams performed a samba with DeGraw and Smirnoff performing to “Sweetheart from Venezuela” by Harry Belafonte. I think DeGraw and Smirnoff is likely to go.

DWTS 14 Week 4: Roshon Fegan V. Waltzes to second

Again, this week on “Dancing with the Stars” season 14, the producer continue with this program of adding individual dances that seem out of context. Roshon Fegan and his partner Chelsie Hightower were the only couple that performed the  Viennese waltz while the others mostly performed either the tango or paso doble.

The unifying theme was Rock Week, but in many cases it was theme over actual dance. Not all the songs were well matched and for the celebrities, it must have been hard giving the feeling of the dance versus the feeling for the song.

Fegan and Hightower danced to “The Time of My Life” by David Cook.

Like many hip hop dancers who don’t have either ballet or modern dance training, Fegan has problems with extending his legs into straight lines. Sometimes there’s a wobble where there should be snap and extension and a bit of a sickled foot.

Bruno Tonioli commented, “You’re flying so high you can touch the sky” and added, “You extend your line through your hand and link everything in such a beautiful way.”

Carrie Ann Inaba brought us back to the parent company, saying, “You’re so cute it was like watching the climax of a Disney movie” and told him of the men he was the best dancer.

Len Goodman told him, “Good job dog,” which is what Fegan mentioned in the practice footage he wanted to hear from Goodman. Goodman noted that he needed to work on the reverse turn in how he crossed his feet, but found Fegan performed with great style and rotation.

Wish we could have seen Fegan dance either the paso doble or the tango and see how to compared to the other men. Fegan and Hightower ended the night tied for second place with Maria Menounos and Derek Hough who performed the tango.

DWTS 14 Week 4: A gentleman takes the lead

On “Dancing with the Stars” season 14, it was rock week and for the first time, Katherine Jenkins and her partner Mark Ballas weren’t the high scoring team. Jenkins and Ballas fell to fourth place while football star Donald Driver and his partner Peta Murgatroyd finished in first with 27.

But Driver and Murgatroyd were only one point ahead of two teams: Maria Menounos and Derek Hough and Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower. Both teams received the exact same score: 9, 8, 9.

Another surprise of the night, musician Gavin DeGraw and his partner Karina Smirnoff were just one point behind Jenkins and Ballas. At the bottom were the Empress of Soul Gladys Knight and her partner Tristan MacManus. But I think fans will save them. Knight and MacManus tangoed to ”Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen which doesn’t strike me as a good sign for tango, American or international.

Driver and Murgatroyd were also the high score for their dance, the paso doble (which they danced to Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze.”) Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas were the second highest score with 24 ( ”Time Is Running Out” by Muse). Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were the low score (“Conquest” by The White Stripes).

Maria Menounos and Derek Hough were the high score for tango with 26 (9, 8, 9).  Their song was ”School’s Out” by Alice Cooper. There’s another song that doesn’t say tango.

DWTS 14 Week 3: First tens of the season posted

How hot is the cast for this season’s “Dancing with the Stars”? Tonight, two celebrities received tens. Two went to the number one couple, Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas who finished the night in first place (29) and Latin lover William Levy with his partner Cheryl Burke received one ten with two nines for 28.

Of course those tens were from Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. Head judge Len Goodman has get to give a perfect score of ten this season. His highest score of the night was nine. In all, 11 nines were awarded last night.

In second with straight nines was TV announcer Maria Menounos and Derek Hough (27). Five teams were tied at the bottom with eights straight across. This will be a hard elimination!

DWTS 14 Week 2: Roshon Fegan brings swagga to quickstep

To be a Disney kid you have to have clean cut talent and Roshon Fegan has that. On the second week of “Dancing with the Stars” season 14, Fegan and Hightower received the top score for the quickstep and finished the night with a cumulative score that put them in a tie for second with William Levy and Cheryl Burke.

Fegan and Hightower were dancing to ”Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” by Good Charlotte. Hightower was in white strapless looking full length gown. Fegan was in a black tux, but the collar of the tux jacket has crystals on it. They are a cute couple even if, as according to Fegan, Hightower “needs a swag upgrade.”

Len Goodman said he liked it. “It was young, it was fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Bruno Tonioli exclaimed Fegan had “more sparks than a bolt of lightening” and “a cheeky swagger” that was absolutely delicious.

Carrie Ann Inaba was worried that all that swagger wouldn’t work with the quickstep, but she dubbed him a little prince.

Did you love him? I did. He’s cute. He’s sweet and he has some fine dance moves and a great smile.  I even found it adorable that he stuck his tongue out at least once.
