DWTS-4 3/27 Recap: “Barbie,” “Ken,” and Other Bits of Artificial Plastic Filler - Page 2

Wowza, SV - EXCELLENT recap.

Quote:

If nothing else, this segment is bearable because of all the shiny silver objects on the ladies’ sequined skirts, which distract the casual viewer from the band and singer’s brutal murder of the song.

We are even treated to a demonstration, where the nattily-attired Jimmy is joined by mustachioed parking lot security guard Guillermo, who looks lovely in his elegant red, sequined evening gown. The pair proceeds to show off the tango’s “sharp head-turns” and then romps and stomps up and down with all the grace of . . . Jimmy Kimmel and a parking lot security guard. It’s quite funny, but I just can’t help but think of George Orwell’s famous line from 1984, “Imagine a boot stamping down on a human face, forever and ever. . . .”

which is a new breakthrough of culinary metaphors--saccharin cheese. I have to admit Dionne looks and sounds the same as she did 50 years ago when this song was first performed. She’s aged well—just like fine cheese should.

In contrast to Ian and Cheryl’s hug, they are all business, giving each other a high-five and hopefully heading out to dance around large slabs of meat while Foreigner plays in the background.

So, basically, this couple is a Stepford Wife holding a killer Charlie McCarthy doll. Wonderful. If that’s the all-American couple, no wonder we live in a perpetual orange alert!

Fantastic recap, SV!

What a great recap! I enjoyed reading it very much. It's almost better than watching it on t.v. Well, it is much more entertaining this way. Great job!

Say, we need more entertainment, so Dionne Warwick is going to sing the only other song in her repertoire. How can a five-time Grammy winner only have two songs in her lifetime? Just saying. . . .

I guess AI took all the good celebrity guests and she was the only one without a gig.

Great recap SV!

This was so, so good!

Samantha bumbling her lines like a verbal Clouseau

Heather and Jonathan are the first couple called out. Ooh, well, as shocking as that is, I think I can put away my defibrillator.

However, bottom-feeders Clyde and Elena are then pronounced safe. What!? Clear!

Billy Ray is visibly shocked at being told he’ll be dancing next week—he probably hasn’t been this baffled since his cameo in Mulholland Drive.

How can a five-time Grammy winner only have two songs in her lifetime?

I'm glad you took the recap plunge!

Don’t tell anyone, but I think these girls were just working in the parking lot and Guillermo happened to pick ‘em up.

So, basically, this couple is a Stepford Wife holding a killer Charlie McCarthy doll. Wonderful.

Great job, SV!

ShrinkingViolet thanks for the great recap.

I've noticed that a lot of people vote according to who they like, not necessarily the best dancer. I do try to vote for the dancing skills but there is one professional dancer I just don't like, Karina Smironoff. She is a great dancer but last year she had a bad attitude that turned me off. Billy Ray Cyrus is improving every week and seems to try hard and he really is good now. So, I vote for him regardless of how I feel about Karina. Clyde is awful all he does is shuffle his feet. I like the guy but don't vote for him because he isn't improving at all but still just shuffling his feet. I'll give him credit for trying but not my vote.
