DWTS Episode 4 Recap: Viennese Waltz

Hello friends!

Well, over my years of watching Dancing With The Stars, I come to realize one thing...the Viennese Waltz gets a lot of tough remarks!  I'm not quite sure why (I'm not exactly a ballroom dancing expert), but year after year, when I catch episodes, if there is a Viennese Waltz, watch out...the judges seem to be hard on the competitors.  That being said...I think this guy right here...

...did an excellent job!  This was his first really serious dance (and by the way, I can't wait until he does a Latin dance...I've never seen him shake his hips, so I'm really curious to how that's going to go down!), and I thought he had nice form, the choreography was great, the music was great, it matched his theme of how 2012 was a great year for him...the Shull family was proud!

But...I do have a few other comments and observations from Monday night's show...

 I kind of think it's stacking the deck a bit when you allow a person to enter the contest that won a gold medal in gymnastics only 8 months ago...

...I'm just saying...

Her dance was really, really good...but part of why she is so good is that she has had experience in floor routines, counting music, showmanship, flexibility  etc, that the other competitors haven't had.  I wasn't going to point it out...but when I saw her tumbling pass on Monday's episode, I couldn't take it any longer.  She is incredible!  But...is it fair to compare her to let's say him...

...probably not.  That's all...Aly seems really sweet but there is just no way that she is an equal competitor to the rest of them (cue bitter, angry comments from my Aly fans).  And by the way, once again, I found myself saying, "I just love Andy Dick".  Really...who knew he would be so likable lovable?!

My new favorite pro (besides Peta...I adore me some Peta!) is this guy...

...Val has all of the swagger and skill as his brother Maks but he doesn't come across as arrogant.  He is just so much fun to watch!  Which is why I predict his partner...

...will make it to the top three for sure!

And then there is this lady...

...Lisa might have been down and out on Monday night...but she looked smokin' hot!  Holy cow!  Lisa is 20 years older than me but geez, I'd love to have a bod like her's today!  Who cares if she is a weak dancer?  She's gorgeous on the outside and lovely on the inside...and that's a winner to me!

Well...to add a fun twist to my week, I received this fun bracelet from Nicole at My Happy Place Shop...

...and since it's fun and sparkly, I thought why not share it on the day I share DWTS with you...because they're both just so fun and sparkly!

Nicole has a special offer for my readers, if you go to her site and purchase two jewelry pieces, she'll mix and match you a third beaded bracelet for free!  (And honestly, wouldn't three be even more fun?!)  Just make sure you leave her a comment with your order that says you're a reader of mine.

You can also check out Nicole on Face Book here.

DWTS and jewelry...such a great combination!  Want to know what else is a great combination?  Me and Sheaffer...you must check out her DWTS Told Me To post today!  Hilarious as always!

Jewelry, check.

Sheaffer, check.
