Which couples will America pooh-pooh? I’m predicting:
Chelsea Traille & Thayne Jasperson
The quickstep sucks. To sell it, you have to kill yourself trying, and these two didn’t. Every chasse looked painful.
Courtney Galiano & Gev Manoukian
This routine was The Worst. For counts and counts at a time, they stood still and stared at each other, or lifted one arm in the air. It wasn’t their fault; it was the crap choreography.
Jessica King & William Winfield
This is my most audacious pick. The judges loved Jessica & Will, both dancers are hot, and the choreography was fun and accessible. But midway through this routine, I started screeching with anxiety. It looked like Will was going to drop Jessica on her head or her butt. Every lift and turn was scary.
Anyone else feeling brave enough to weigh in with predictions?
