Tonight the 3 remaining couples faced-off with the Cha-Cha. Cheryl and Cristian were the first to hit the floor followed by Edyta and Jason and Kristi and Mark.
It was the first time the show had done dancing in this format (where all the couples danced for 1 minute and ended it with a group performance complete with a great air pose/lift by Kristi. I must say it worked quite nicely, excitement wise.
Each couple brought their own flavour and energy to the Cha-Cha. The most energetic being Kristi and Mark of course, who won the first round (and the night but more on that in a bit) with glowing comments and a perfect score of 30/30 from the judges. Can't say I disagree with their assessment Kristi was definitely awesome.
Cheryl and Cristian received a 26/30 and Jason and Edyta the lowest a 24/30.
Next it was time for the Free-Style, Kristi and Mark were first, both wore some very glittery out-fits (looked good though;). And the dance was just as impressive, a perfect execution of lifts, spins and MJ inspired moves.
I particularly loved how they managed to stay in unison through-out despite it being a very fast-paced dance. Even Len was beyond impressed, which not surprisely give them another perfect score, ( 60/60 overall) making them the ones to beat and setting a very high bar for the rest.
Edyta and Jason chose to dance R&B style. Which I think worked quite nicely for a big guy like him.
The dance was filled with lots of lifts through-out. And I'm sure Jason will earn a few extra fans for taking his shirt off at the end lol. With a 6 pack like that he would get my vote for sure!.
The judges thought it was great as well (but not great enough to warrant a perfect score). Still a 27/30 is nothing to sneeze at, it give them an overall score of 57/60 putting them in second place.
Cristian and Cheryl concluded the night with a Free-Style infused with lots of Latin flavour. I gotta hand it to this guy, he's definitely got a hell of a lot of fighting spirit.
Despite only having one useful arm (and despite risking possible re-injury during rehearsal) he still managed an excellent performance. He got a 26/30 and 52/60 overall.
Tomorrow night a champion will finally be crowned, and I have a feeling that for the first time in the competition it'll be a woman. Unless Jason pulls a few more tricks out of his sleeve. Again it's all up to the fans.
