https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o97_jDomyqc

Performance: it is set around a beach bar and skateboarding, there is a nice bit of rise and fall going on, but too much off hold dancing, also Kristinia was seen miming along with the song

Michael: 7
total; 25

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nE2spOw_o

Performance: whole thing is set around the Cake Boss studio, Buddy shouting his catchphrase ''Want Some Cake Baby'' there are some nice rotations of the hip, hand placement looks ok, it is overall very watchable

Bruno: 6
Carrie: 7
Julianne: 7
Michael: 6
total; 26

Judges: Bruno is in shock how decent that was and so very funny at same time, Carrie commented on Buddy's hip rotation which was very good, Julianne praised his efforts at entertaining the crowd as well as focus on dance technique, Michael commented on him being flatfooted in places however all of the rest was quite good

Nickytorium: Buddy is in awe with judges scores and feedback, said he had expected a worse start to his journey, Emma more relieved the hard work in training paid off

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETxmCCsMoD0

Performance: it is set around her Alzuarr HQ office, overall the performance is quite a disaster, as Zeynep seems to be very stiff, wooden, flatfooted, basically also being carried around like a broom by Gleb, out of hold she's pretty much helpless

Bruno: 2
Carrie: 4
Julianne: 5
Michael: 4
total; 15

Judges: Bruno commented on her bad footwork, no hip rotation, and being very pedestrian, Carrie didn't like the lacklustre attitude from her in the performance, Julianne sees the potential but it didn't go as planned here, Michael wants more fire from her next week

Nickytorium: Zeynep almost bursts down in tears, saying must've been a blackout during that performance, she forgot most of the steps and just randomly did something, Gleb comforts her and hopes things will go better next week

dancing next it's Dane Cook and Karina Smirnoff

VT: my name is Dane Cook, i work as stand up comedian for comedy central, at few Roasts, and been on quite a few movies alongside few big name hollywood actors either, Karina: our dance is foxtrot to hold back the river

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqiH0ZSkM9I

Performance: very nice contemporary theme for this foxtrot, proper content throughout, Dane also wasn't bad technically wise either

Bruno: 7
Carrie: 7
Julianne: 7
Michael: 8
total; 29

Judges: all 4 were pleased, Michael gave ovation too

Nickytorium: huge smiles on both Dane and Karina their faces

dancing next it's Judy Sheindlin and Tony Dovolani

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPAttqn-QYE

Performance: set in court room, quite a nice performance for the week 1 standard, Judy on occasion is kinda wooden though but a nice crowdpleasing performance

Bruno: 3
Carrie: 5
Julianne: 5
Michael: 6
total; 19

Judges: Bruno commented on her not having correct hip action, Carrie said it was decent but if she wants higher scores more work needs to be done, Julianne appreciated the fun quality of the performance, and Michael has respect for commitment of someone at her age to still have some potential at dancing

Nickytorium: Judy thanked Tony especially, saying how dancing makes her feel young again

dancing next it's Jason Aldean and Jenna Johnson

VT: i am Jason Aldean, country music star, i am dedicating my appearance on this show to some of the victims of the las vegas shooting what occured during one of my live concerts, Jenna: we are dancing cha cha cha to one of your songs the way a night should feel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Woy69WD3c

Bruno: 8
Carrie: 8
Julianne: 8
Michael: 7
total; 31

Judges: Bruno admires his bravery of immediately opening a performance on judges desk, and loves his effort in the straight leg cha cha hip action, Carrie said HOT HOT HOT, and that is how a night should feel for sure, Julianne praised how Jenna had tought him the right steps, and a decent workable choreography for week 1, Michael wants more emotion, a more fragile side of Jason next week

Nickytorium: Jason happy about feedback and scores, and said he will work on more emotion bit in weeks to come, Jenna also delighted

and last to dance in this part one show is Mikaela Shiffrin and AJ Pritchard

VT: i am Mikaela Shiffrin, olympic gold medallist in alpine skiing, Always wanted to do this show, dream come true for me, AJ: we are really the MOST Competitive couple in whole line up this series, our first dance is foxtrot to i'm ready by sam smith and demi lovato

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glD1M418bC0

Performance: setting is more preparing for olympics, AJ of course having thrown in way too overcomplicated techniques, difficult choreography, and no real Chemistry visible between the two, Mikaela has potential to be a superior dancer but it is not a good first performance

Bruno: 5
Carrie: 6
Julianne: 6
Michael: 5
total; 22

Judges: Bruno commented on how bad he feels for Mikaela how AJ did all the wrong things in terms of choreography, Carrie sympathizes for Mikaela and hopes it will go better next week, Julianne says a partnership goes both ways and this is a duo without the ''teamwork'' Michael said maybe Mikaela should have a different dance partner

Nickytorium: Mikaela cries but AJ doesn't understand judges criticism, and said their performance was one of best performances this show has ever seen worldwide


Nicky: join me again later on, for part two with rest of our couples

[Nicky91]

welcome to part two, and up first now are Van Hansis & Dianne Buswell

VT: my name is Van Hansis, you might know me best as Luke Snyder from soap series As The World Turns, one of the first ever gay couples on that series i was also part of, i am happy to be paired up with Dianne, she seems fun, fresh, chill, Dianne: we are dancing cha cha cha to evacuate the dancefloor by cascada

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNSxNsr4wmA

Performance: this was a bit of a miss, no match song/dance wise, lack of rise and fall, however it was a pleasant to watch performance

Bruno: 4
Carrie: 6
Julianne: 5
Michael: 5
total; 20
Judges: all 4 had something to say on the weird choice of music for the type of dance but they forgive her a bit since it is only week 1

dancing next Bobby Brown and Anna Trebunskaya

VT: my name is Bobby Brown, you might've heard of my music, if not then because of my relationship with Whitney Houston, Anna: we're dancing cha cha cha to how will i know by Whitney

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3-hY-hlhBg

Performance: Anna throwing in all the gimmicky props she could've found, one big novelty performance, technically this was decent as disco but bad as cha cha cha, also as controversial as he is, they also did one ILLEGAL LIFT near the end

Bruno: 5
Carrie: 5
Julianne: 5
Michael: 4
total; 19

Judges: not much to say here, apart from Bruno's antics who had to bring up Bobby's skills as performer, but not technically precise or perfect, and they ignored the illegal lift

Nickytorium: Bobby laughs most of low scores off by saying he didn't dance in like so many years, Anna already said she has best time of her life (even more than with Carson Kressley)

dancing next it are Opal Tometi and Val Chmerkovsky

VT: hi i am Opal Tometi, i've gathered international fame as co-founder of Black Lives Matter movement, i'm also a book author, Val: we're dancing cha cha to on my way by sheppard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcY9XnNA92A

Performance: Opal starts off being carried around by Val, when dancing eventually starts it isn't bad at all, however everything feels bland, not much character from her in this first performance

Bruno: 4
Carrie: 5
Julianne: 4
Michael: 5
total; 18

Judges: some of comments from all 4 were her being bit lazy in execution of hip action, armography, loads of work needs to be done etc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tTUqh8q0bE

Bruno: 7

Julianne: 8

week 2 results

Bottom Two: Marg & Pasha vs Bobby & Anna

bringing their tango again for survival, it's Bobby & Anna

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gOHvDP_vCs

ok now, dancing their quickstep again for a place in week 3, it's Marg & Pasha

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShlW5plD_40

my dear judges, i want each of you to say one name who you think deserves to stay in DWTS Nickyfied and why (in case of a split decision, head Judge Michael has the casting vote)

Bruno: i'm going for the couple who made more improvements in this particular dance off, and the other did not, i like to save Bobby & Anna

Carrie: based on these 2 dances, one had a superior routine over the other, i am saving Marg & Pasha

Julianne: this is comparing apples to pears, also both who deserve to be longer in competition compared to few others who are weaker, gonna go for one with most potential and that for me is Marg & Pasha

Michael: i gave both couples a 6, based upon this dance off, and performance i liked the most seeing again, i am saving Marg & Pasha

so this means we say goodbye to Bobby & Anna
