Tonight they’re celebrating America.
Congrats to Team Cherico for making it to the halfway point!
Team Chericho performs second.
In the pre-dance video package, Jericho says his goal is to get a score higher than 7 from Len. Cheryl says he’s going to want to have good technique to impress Len.
He wants to prove that he’s a top contender in the competition.
Team Chericho performed a Viennese Waltz to a soulful rendition of Oh Beautiful. It was nice but it’s hard to appreciate a dance when the song is this mellow. Here’s what the judges gave them.
Bruno: 9 Big yet graceful. Strong, yet elegant. It was absolutely wonderful.
Carrie Ann: 9 I feel like we’ve underestimated you. Tender.
Len: 8 It was a little bit flat footed. Work a little bit more on the footwork.
My Take ~ Score: 7
I’m always going to be favorable when it comes to Jericho. With that being said, I liked this performance but I didn’t love it. Jericho looked like he was thinking a little too much tonight but he did provide a strong and sturdy frame to showcase the beautiful and amazing Cheryl Burke. It was a solid performance and the judges seemed to LOVE it…except for Len.
Wow. I didn’t expect the judges to give Team Chericho a whopping score of 26! This assures them a spot in the competition for at least another week or two. I think Jericho is winning people over with his great interviews and personality. He busted out a Justin Bieber reference during his post-performance interview. It was almost like reading a page of his pop reference-laden book. He was close to the top today but Hines Ward remains as one of the front-runners of the season.
After the jump we’ll see how the rest of the cast did.
Team Chericho earns the lowest score on DWTS
April 25, 2011Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke performed second tonight and received the lowest score of the night.
In the pre-performance video, Jericho finds out that he’s going to perform to Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing. He says how much of an inspiration Steve Perry is. They show footage of Jericho’s band, Fozzie.
He seemed to show a lot of frustration in rehearsal. Jericho usually doesn’t lead on to what he’s thinking about but in this clip you could totally tell he was stressed out and flustered. Maybe going to the Big 4 concert in Indio this weekend wasn’t a good idea. Kidding. Heh.
Team Chericho performed the Tango and this how they fared with the judges.
Bruno: 7 You turned into a lump of granite.
Carrie Ann: 7 I feel like the pressure got to you this week. It wasn’t passionate.
Len: 8 You had good posture. It lacked a bit of intensity. Excellent job.
My Take ~ Score: 7
The judges were unforgiving here. This was Jericho’s stiffest performance but not by much. Nothing terrible happened here. It just wasn’t spectacular. He seemed like his mind was concentrating and he wasn’t enjoying the moment like he has in the previous week. Everybody else did very well so tomorrow’s show is going to be scary. Good luck, Team Chericho!
After the jump we’ll see how the rest of the cast did.
