Review
Disney Night is one of the most anticipated themes for the season; however, this year’s version fell short. The costumes, dancers, and characters selected weren’t nearly as captivating as they were in previous years.
Every couple is showing improvements every week, even though there are clear top contenders. As incredible as she can be, Maher frequently falls short when compared to other superstars. While Karagach is the best pro, she, as well as Howard, appear to be relatively stagnant, even though there must be some ease given their enormous size difference. Tran appears to be a bit engrossed in her head, which is her movements becoming more fluid than they need to be.
Scores from the judges appeared to be a bit unfair in certain areas, particularly when Graziadei and Maher got the same score; however, Maher had more dance choreography and ability in the performance. In the same vein, Maher’s most prominent criticism by the judge was the fact that there wasn’t enough dancing or tricks—a criticism that was not discovered in Amendola’s evaluation even though Maher’s jazz consisted of mostly tricks and lifts.
After watching all eight couples dances, even though the couples who are safe have always been “in no particular order,” the two bottom couples seemed obvious: Maher and Howard. Although both are showing improvements and are extremely entertaining, their progress is slow compared to other stars.
The final three stars included Parks, Tran Nedoroscik, and Nedoroscik, with Parks getting to be sent home. It was evident that Nedoroscik would not be a part of the show since the judges have been incredibly supportive of him, and he certainly has the fans’ votes. While it was surprising that neither Howard nor Maher was among the three bottom spots, the judges were pleasantly surprised. surprise.
With the theme of next week being Halloween, and arguably one of the most enjoyable nights of the year, couples will be arriving eager to make their way to the semi-finals. The performances should only be scary in the way they’re meant to be.
