Dancing with the Stars Season 30: These Dances Are Spooky

 The Miz and Witney danced a Paso Doble to Wicked Games-- I liked this for what it was but I was feeling like it could have used more content. Len thought he nailed it. Carrie Ann said he should work on his intensity. 

Score: 34 out of 40

Kenya Moore and Brandon danced an Argentine Tango to Take My Breath-- I love Kendra's spirit but her moves are just not as sharp which is tough. Bruno said she is a beautiful dancer. Carrie Ann said she freezes after she hits poses. 

Score: 32 out of 40

JoJo Siwa and Jenna danced a Jazz routine to Anything Goes-- This was one of the best of the night, and I have been a skeptic of JoJo. Derek loved the juxtaposition between the horror theme and the song. Bruno said it was terrifying and brilliant. 

Score: 40 out of 40

Cody Rigsby and Cheryl danced a Cha Cha to There Will be Blood-- This was a personal best for Cody. So good! I hope that they stuck around. Len said Hallelujah instead instead of Halloween. Derek said it was his best yet. 

Score: 36 out of 40

Jimmie Allen and Emma danced a Contemporary to Say Something-- LOVED Jimmie! He was so good and continues to get better every week. Len loved it. Derek said everyone is getting emotional on the dance floor. Bruno said it went beyond dancing. Carrie Ann said she is proud of Jimmie and that he understood the power of dance. 

Score: 

Olivia Jade and Val danced a Paso Doble to Beggin-- This was fun. I thought Olivia was with Val through the routine, not ahead of him or behind him. Len said she came back to life with a great Paso. Carrie Ann felt she made it look effortless

Score: 36 out of 40

Melora Hardin and Artem danced a Jive to Hound Dog-- For me, this was one of her weaker dances. Carrie Ann felt it was a little too safe. Derek agreed with Carrie Ann saying he wanted to see her push herself more. 

Score: 34 out of 40

Iman Shumpert and Daniella danced a Contemporary to I Got Five On It-- This was the dance of the season. I absolutely loved this!! Hope he stays in the competition. Carrie Ann thought it was genius. Len said Daniella's choreography made him look fantastic. Derek said he will watch it over and over again. Bruno said it was a masterpiece.

Score: 40 out of 40

Suni Lee and Sasha danced a Tango to Bad Habits-- Loved Suni's confidence this week. Len said good frame but footwork was hit or miss. Derek said there was a disconnect with the stepping and the music. Carrie Ann saw a tiny lift. 

Score: 36 out of 40

Amanda Kloots and Alan danced an Argentine Tango to Paint it Black-- I liked this but I felt like the footwork was not as sharp as it could have been. Derek found the routine challenging. Carrie Ann felt there was a little too much tension. Len thought it was sharp but lacked Argentine feel. I think that's how I was feeling too having watched these different dances. 

Score: 38 out of 40


Unfortunately on this Halloween edition of Dancing with the Stars Kenya and Brandon were sent packing. 


Next week Melora and the Miz might be in some trouble. Stay tuned.
