When America votes like this, the judges' scores don't even seem to matter -- and neither does the quality of dance! (via toofab)
The choices here were based on styles the couples have performed before in the season already, but it also created a divide where some of the dancers were facing much stiffer competition than others. Each judge could award one point to their favorite couple in this round, so there was a chance at 4 bonus points, which is huge, if you dominated!
Then, they rolled the wrong package, so we saw the JoJo/Olivia/Jimmie prep package first, followed immediately by Mike/Iman/Cody. Of course, that just meant no package before the second dance of the round, but kudos to “DWTS” for keeping it classy for “Fredury Mercury” Night!Right off the bat, we were missing some of that hop and energy from Mike, but he came through with it about halfway through.
Suni seemed a little out of sorts at times during the middle of this piece -- which may again have to do with her feeling sick -- though she had better contact than we’ve seen in the past and overall good quality waltz. But she was bookended by two incredibly strong dancers in Amanda and Melora. Melora lacked just just a bit of the grace we were looking for, while Amanda seemed to ooze it from the moment she hit the stage -- and her lines were incredible, to boot.
Suni admitted at the end that she was a bit embarrassed because she’d never done it before -- though she has -- and that informs so much of what we’ve seen all season from her. She has danced like a self-conscious teenager embarrassed because she isn’t 100 percent confident in what she’s doing, and it’s held her back from rising to her full potential. She is only 18 years old, so part of that is natural, but she would grow so much if she could somehow get past it.
