if Kristie & Max would've done that same exact dance they would've gotten straight 10's. Like everyone has said Ralph & Karina got underscored the whole season.
I don't watch the judges anymore, just the dances. In my opinion, ralph and karina were way underscored the whole season,while hines, kendra, and kirsty were extremely overscored. When ralph made a mistake the judges would lay into him but if the others made mistakes the judges didn't say anything.
It's pretty sad when Ralph & Karina can only get a 10 because of a guest judge,Len wtf is wrong with you an 8?? This dance was awesome, yep underscored again!!
thank frickin god they finally got there well deserved 10! i loved the ending of that dance! hilarious. what the hell is wrong with mark this year? hes normally so sweet....
Anyone else notice that all the others stars / pros are smiling and applauding, but Mark B is just a grim face, and barely smiling? He's got such an attitude this season...
@MrReed314 I noticed the same thing about Mark, seems like a different person,like a spoiled brat. Ralph and Karina, all the way !!!!!! Everyone vote, the judges aren't supporting him, his fans are !!!!!!!
Personally, I dont see what the big deal is..The human form is a beautiful thing, created by God, and He banished Adam / Eve out for covering themselves. (Things that the right-wing insecure puritans choose to ignore.). The sexist card is always played, but women lusting over men are given a pass. Artists have created great works of art using the nude form of men and women. Karina is a beautiful woman, and if she choolses to display tastefully done pics of herself, I see no prob with that.
@MrReed314 The specific reason for the banishment of Adam and Eve is stated explicitly in the Bible: to keep them from eating from the Tree of Life after their sin. What idiot would believe that God saw Adam and Eve put clothes on, and then decided to kick them out of the garden because of it? If you're going to pull the Bible into a discussion, at least read it first.
@MrDavidC99 : Point taken..Now that you mention it, it did not come out quite the way I meant it to sound, and it sounds ridiculous. However, they were still made by God originally without clothes, so obviously God had no probs with nudity...Enough of this topic, time to move along.
What a great comeback!! Loved their dance, it was by far my favorite of the night. So great to see them finally get a much deserved 10. Fantastic dancing, wonderful choreography, and great costumes. Ralph is such a cutie, and he and Karina are a great pair. Hope they win!!!
Thats the way to go Ralph, show the "kids" a real quickstep. Great choreography Karina, loved the 20's costumes, loved the old school feel to the dance. Ralph and Karina for the win.
BTW; Anyone know who Donny Burns really is? Well, I will tell you...He is the greatest judge and ballroom dancer in at least the last 20 years...14 World Professional Championships, 11 Internatlional Latin Championships, and undefeated in 20 yrs of competion..In the Guiness Book...He is considered a god by all B-dancers..Karina later in interviews couldnt stop saying things like "We got a 10 from Donny Burns!"
@MrReed314 Karina recognized the value of Burns as he deserves. He is a legend and also is Karina for me. Most viewers don't know anything beyond DWTS.
Karina competed for a short time, but she danced in excellent level and was ranked second in the world. She has a lot more titles than any pro in DWTS. I think that if she had continued competing with Slavik could have as many titles as Bryan and Carmen (the major champions of that time).
@MrReed314 The level of Karina and Slavik dances is vastly superior than the DWTS dance professionals. People need to see her dances with him. I heard that they would return to perform together. It would be a dream. I'm a huge fan of karina.
What a class act! This couple is beautifully-matched for so many reasons.....Karina has such womanly beauty and yet Ralph still has that youthful charm -- Plus they both seem to exude a real commitment to excellence and creativity. This routine was bouncy, stylish and had great performance value. All the way, Ralph & Karina!
Interesting that the guest judge was Scottish, as well!
Can't believe how young Paolo was when he put together that great song - about 21 years old at the time, I believe. It still lifts my spirits when I hear it and makes me want to dance! I'll never forget my surprise in 2008 when he debuted it at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Excited to hear what he has coming for us in his third album. Hopefully, he'll put it out this year. . .
Excited to see them dance to Paolo Nutini's 'Pencil Full of Lead'! Disappointed they didn't have Paolo singing it; however, the artist used did a nice job of it. ♪
Paolo's music and the dance are between 2:41 and 4:19. Carrie Ann's comment concerning Ralph made me think of Paolo and what he put into that particular song: full exuberance, fun, passion and joy. :-) Carrie Ann sure picked up the vibe of it all!
Seriously am I the only who thinks, "Who's the real dancer here?" whenever Ralph dances. He is amazing and can keep up with Karina all the way. Go Ralph!! I would love to see him go all the way. :o)
@andiakm88 You're not alone! Hines is overrated! His footwork is not that good, he always looks like he is counting steps in his head, and Kim dances around him. I don't get why he is the judges favorite.
Go Team Kamacchio! Their chemistry has grown so much and they really get along so well. Ralph has the long lines of a dancers and he has natural talent. His killer instinct needs to step up to match his competitors so he surpasses them to win! Ralph, you got to keep that mean confidence because you are awesome!! Ralph and Karina all the way!
So happy they finally got a 10! They deserved it. I thought they should have got 10's for their waltz. Really enjoyed this quickstep. Ralph was amazing! Figures Len would give them 8. He was also terrific in the team cha cha cha. Go Ralph!
Yea ! Finally Ralph & Karina recieved a 10 ! What is up with Len giving them a 8 ? They looked so good I'm proud I can be happy because Ralph is back on Top.
thank God, a judge actually mentioned Ralph's terrific footwork. It's about time it was acknowledged. Thought this was a great QS, and underscored, which seems to be the story for Ralph and Karina this season.
@lamaddussa I agree;all his dances were diificult and complicated( it's from Karina-what do u expect?) but i like the fact that Karina tried to showcase his potential and not mask it with gimmicks. i 've always loved karina despite her private life-she's very competitive like her ex..and she too needs to win that MBT...she was robed 2x - both Marios. And Ralph is such a nice and humble person. Go Ralph go !
@lamaddussa Yeah either Ralph or Hines will likely win which is fine, but i feel like this whole season is sort of lackluster dancewise from all of the contestants. I know they aren't dancers, but I guess over the years I've come to expect more.
well, i think chelsea is the female contender, so i don't think the contest is limited to ralph & hines... but, i also find the show too boring (& the music too awful) to watch very much of it...
well, i don't watch judges & the rest of the show, i just watch some of the dances, so i wouldn't know. but i can't imagine why he'd be the favorite. he's not the best dancer...
@lamaddussa He is not the best dancer but for some reason the judges fawn all over Hines Ward. They are pretty brutal towards Ralph at times but they seem to be coming around!
@lamaddussa I don't understand either! Speculation is that the show is upset over Karina's playboy pics so that might have something to do with the low scores and the judge's harsh comments. He is the best male dancer. Great footwork, technique, and artistry as well. Go Ralph and Karina!
@gevoks They all have favorites especially Carrie Ann, she has a weakness for football players. Len is a tough nut to crack b/c he has been up and down all season. I think Bruno is hard on Ralph b/c he thinks that Ralph can win.
wow. that sure sounds catty of them. if that's true. why penalize the contestant because of the personal activities of the pro. if they didn't want her there, they should have let her go, i suppose, though i don't think they should. anyway, it's a bit ironic, because half of the show is something like a playboy spread. i'm exaggerating, but i think you get my meaning. the show can get pretty slutty....
@lamaddussa It is just speculation from the gossip shows and Wendy Williams. I know what you mean about the show and the skimpy costumes for the women, Maks ripping off his shirt, and Bruno always talking about sex. It is hypocritical for DWTS to hold anything against Karina especially a lot of the past female contestants have posed for playboy including the current co-host.
@softsable79 Being Ralph's fan since the 80s, I think I can say this w/o being biased. There's something about Hines's dances that makes viewers just sit back and enjoy. He's a natural. Ralph's great too but he always seems to be thinking or trying, instead of just dancing. I don't know maybe it's because of age; Ralph being almost 50 and Hines is what, like, 35?
@nicknsharonfan I disagree. I actually feel that way about Hines. When I look at Hines' face it seems like he is counting steps in his head. Ralph brings the character to life and always has a smile on his face. I do think that Ralph is doing great for being 49. Usually the older celebs on DWTS can't even compete with the younger ones.
I hate the Quickstep, it's a very awkward dance...there have only been a few that I liked, and this was one of them...very good...he's a great dancer.
I love Ralph looking like a baby face gangster! Too cute! It took the guest judge to give them their first 10! C'mon Len a 8! Seriously, Len needs some fiber! Underscored again!
@nicknsharonfan I know. I think Len was annoyed with the lack of space at the judge's table. They seemed really squished in that night. The show should have made a bigger table to account for the guest judge.
@softsable79 I agree, he is too adorable! I also agree he was underscored again. Thank goodness for the guest judge finally giving them a well deserved 10
