Did He Do That?

Judges? Bruno says that she's got moves, class, and sass, and she's a real star. Carrie Ann says that routine made her want to get up and dance, and she's honored to have her here. Len loves that Gladys's dancing is natural and not forced, and it oozes rhythm. Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 7, and Bruno 8.

The final dancer tonight is Jaleel "Urkel" White. Here's what I know about him: he was Urkel. I'm assuming he's kind of over being known for only that, since he hasn't done a Neil Patrick Harris or a James van der Beek and made fun of his former persona. His partner is Kym, who is psyched that Jaleel is a natural, and not at all geeky or awkward. Um, maybe because that was a part and he's an actor? Just saying.

They have the foxtrot. They start off with some very athletic and graceful leaps, and that sets the tone for the dance. It's very smooth and very well done. In the very beginning, Jaleel gets a little ahead of the beat, but he recovers and the second half is excellent. I'm shocked.

Judges? Carrie Ann calls him "the icing on the cake" because he was so smooth. Len loved the routine, calling it elegant and sophisticated. Len also says this is the best first show of any season, and I kind of agree. Maybe not for entertainment value, but definitely for dance quality. There is real parity here, and no dead weight or clunkers. Bruno says that Jaleel reminded him of the late Gregory Hines, which is an AMAZING compliment. Scores: Carrie Ann 9, Len 8, and Bruno 9. I agree wholeheartedly.

So, yeah. That happened. A lot of dancing, and none of it was really, really terrible, which hardly ever happens. And a lot of it was good, and even most of the ones that weren't good showed potential. So this should be an interesting season. See you next week! Here are the final standings:
