Almost, but no
mirror ball.
On Dancing With The Stars Ralph was probably the weakest technician of the remaining four dancers. Even so, I was extremely dissatisfied to see him leave.
He had such a great work ethic, and Karina had her best partner in years. I loved their chemistry, and I loved how they always had each other’s back through all the injuries, falls, and low scores.
Ralph and Karina should be proud of making it so far, and I only wish they had gotten a chance to really prove their technique in the finals.
The problem was not specifically Ralph’s injury, but the fact that this team peaked far too early.
| Got thoughts? Post them at the end. |
Ralph and Karina had an explosive Foxtrot, but even in their first routine I worried that the judge’s were far too stunned by the performance value that they failed to really criticize Ralph’s awkward dancing.
Ralph has improved his technique throughout the entire season, but unfortunately it just became glaringly obvious to the judges that his dancing was a tad awkward and the technique was sloppy at times.
Kirstie needed a strong week, and even though I strongly feel like the judges overrated her Viennese Waltz, her Paso Doble was easily the strongest dance she has done all season.
Kirstie’s Waltz lacked refinement, and Kirstie’s face should have been poised and her lines should have been elegant, but they just flowed through the motions without any true impact.
Her Paso, on the other hand, was genius. I saw amazing Spanish lines, and when Kirstie charged at Maksim like an angry bull, I loved every crazy second of it.
That dance alone deserved Kirstie a spot in the finals, but looking back on every single routine, I still felt Ralph was more consistent and a stronger fighter.
Yet, the ending weeks are truly what counts, and I guess America felt like this final three was the most appropriate.
I have to say, it really should come down to Hines and Chelsea.
Honestly, I think Hines should win because of how consistent he has been, not just as a dancer, but as a tremendous partner.
His emotions over Kym’s injury, which could have been extremely life-altering, demonstrated his compassion and genuine heart.
He may be a tough.....
