“America’s Favorite Ballroom”

Last week, Billy Ray and Karina finally were sent home. That leaves only four couples left to compete in this week’s Semi-Finals:

Ian & Cheryl (Well that was a surprise)
Laila & Maksim
Apolo & Julianne
Joey & Kym

Last week I was stunned when they announced that Joey & Kym were in the bottom 2! I was sure it was going to be Ian & Cheryl. Obviously Joey & Kym will be really stepping it up this week. They have been my favorites all along. They mix up their routines, they’re entertaining, and Joey is a really good dancer. I will be pulling for them again this week. Ian & Cheryl are the other couple that needs to have a couple of exceptional performances this week. While they have never been in the bottom two, of the four remaining couples they’re performances have been the weakest. If they want to avoid Billy Ray & Karina’s fate, they are going to have to be in top form.

Apolo & Julianne just need to keep up the high quality dancing they have been bringing ever week and they should not have a problem. Laila and Maksim have been been one of the better couples throughout the competition but, have had several lackluster performances. I think they are in a strong position both in their abilities and with the audience but, at this point in the competition, the first couple that flinches is in danger. With only four couples remaining, all four pairs are going to be under pressure. I suspect the segments showing they’re practice will have quite a bit of drama tonight.
