It’s the first week of eliminations on Dancing with the Stars Australia, and the stars are ready to fight for their positions in the competition. So this week, they danced to songs that had meaning to them. Behold, My Jam Monday! Oh, and the score is important.
Be sure to read through to the end to see who got eliminated.
1. Courtney and Josh
Last week’s leaderboard leaders, Courtney and Josh, are the first up and dancing the cha-cha to the Spice Girl’s Wannabe. However, Courtney’s dance was a little slow for a cha-cha, unlike last week’s dance which was on point.
There wasn’t as much confidence in the routine though the concept was excellent.
Courtney’s score is: 21
2. Jett and Lily – Second Last In The Score
Lifesaver Jett Kenny was criticised for not being sexy enough and stiff. However, their Samba was a lot better than last week’s performance. Craig said there was development in the hip department.
Jett’s score is: 17
3. Denise and Jeremy – A Low Score In The Episode
Denise’s dance this week is the Jive. Again, Crag hated it, saying it was laboured, while Sharna and Tristan loved it.
Denise’s score is: 14
4. Curtly and Siobhan – One Of The Lowest Score
Curtly’s score last week was only ten, earning him a place at the bottom. His dance this week is Samba, and his hip action is much better than last week. Tristan was impressed, but he felt Curtly’s knees weren’t great. Sharna was happy he danced to his height. Craig, however, said the performance was like watching a scene from Jurassic Park.
Curtly’s score is: 12
5. Miguel and Megan
Chef Miguel Maestre is loveable on and off the dance floor. His chosen song is The Greatest Show to the Tango. It’s a little odd to associate the song with that dance. The tango wasn’t a tango, but the performance was remarkable to watch.
Miguel’s score is: 13
6. Olympia and Jarryd
Actress Olympia Valance’s performance was terrific last week. This week’s dance is cha to First Kiss. Her leg work needed to be worked, and her personality was spot-on.
Olympia’s score is: 17
Note: Olympia’s score is the same as last week
7. Jimmy and Alex
Kids Entertainer Jimmy Rees wowed the judges last week. His song is Don’t Stop Me Now to the Jive. Jimmy embraced his inner Freddy Mercury with his routine as he got a standing ovation.
Jimmy’s score is: 21
8. Michelle and Aric
Michelle’s performance last week was a little ‘wooden’. This week, her performance is the Jive to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off. From this viewer’s perspective, it’s a little off in place, but it was fun to watch. Her footwork needed work.
Michelle’s score is: 18
9. Cassandra and Marco – Cass’ Lowest Score
Cass’s performance last week gained a load of media because she ranked. Her dance is Quickstep to Kylie Minogue’s Dancing this week and was better than last week’s dance. Craig was still critical, but he was friendly towards the end.
Cass’s score is: 10
Note: Cass’s score is the same as last week
10. Constance and Gustavo
Blogger Constance Hall beat the bullies last week, and now she’s dancing the Quickstep to Amy Winehouse to Valerie. Her footwork was impressive for a first-timer in the dance.
Constance’s score is: 18
11. Samuel and Jorja
Actor Samuel Johnson was a surprise last week, and his dance this week is cha-cha.
Sam had the time of his life performing the Bruno Mars song he chose. Craig didn’t like it, but Tristan and Sharna loved it. No surprises there.
Sam’s score is: 20
Who Was Eliminated?
Now for the moment of truth. It’s time for someone to go home.
After a recap of the performances and the bottom two were announced as Cass and Marco and Miguel and Megan.
While the elimination is the most daunting part of DWTS, the process is often drawn out. However, this time it wasn’t drawn out. Instead, they got straight to the point.
The couple eliminated was Miguel and Megan.
Talk about a shock! I was not expecting that.
The show must go on while we have to say goodbye to the Crazy Bull. Dancing with the Stars continues with week three at 7:30 following Monday on Channel 10.
