Dancing with the Stars | 13×05 | The Tango

I was experiencing theme fatigue at this point and I think Hope and Maks were as well. I don’t think Maks was even in the States in the 80s yet and Hope was a child. Seemed a bit unfair. That said, I loved their costumes, Maks’ eyeliner, and Hope managing to come out of it with a bloody nose. Hardcore to the end! And yeah, Hope had a meltdown but as a fellow introvert I am surprised she made it this far. At least she is cute while exasperated and flaily. The judges were bipolar, even in the same breath, and they were going first. AGAIN. Unprecedented times going first for this show. Don’t think we didn’t notice your shenanigans, DWTS. They did their best to make them feel unwelcome.

Dancing with the Stars | 13×04 | The Foxtrot

The Toy Story dance! So refreshing after that sexy (or at least Maks’ version of sexy) Cha-Cha the week before. Len started to really act up at this point. Whatever. If you wanted me to buy your storyline about Hope do not have “doesn’t work hard enough” headlining it. That’s some obvious BS. So a fun, nearly perfect dance was tainted by the judges. Those playing at home: Get used it it. The judges continue to be nasty the rest of the season. In the meanwhile, outside of the DWTS editing room Hope and Maks were off in NY and Chicago for most of the week being adorable and kickass when appropriate. ESPN Body Issue release party and Chicago Marathon and a great dance. What more could you want?

I want that shirt, Nike. One of those limited edition teases. Grrr…
