Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff - Argentine Tango

[jussara2851]

VERY SEXY ;D

[jussara2851]

HE'S AWESOME!! I LOVE HIM!!♥

[lightningboysgirl16]

Damn Ralph is so hot in this dance!!!!!

[IvyKeystone]

1:08 Is it me or does he look like a kid?!

[victoriat84]

Ralph looked particularly hot in this suit, with the red shirt underneath.

[Horselover215]

I hated how hard the judges were on Ralph and Karina. Constantly underscoring them, while they overscored others. Rarely giving Ralph credit when he improved. It made me so mad how they never gave R&K the scores or they credit they deserved. And don't get my started on Bruno's rude comments and the manipulation of the WTA cha cha.

[nicknsharonfan]

I've been Ralph's fan since the 80s but I don't think judges were biased against R&K. Perhaps since their fantastic foxtrot the 1st week, judges had higher expectation of him. And judges have given them deserved credit on other dances like foxtrot, waltz, quickstep, even Viennese waltz when Ralph danced injured; Bruno especially really liked and appreciated it and gave 9. This tango, sure was nice but compared to Hines's or Kirsty's, it was a bit flat, and not as sexy as a tango should be.

[softsable79]

@nicknsharonfan Well have to disagree. I think the Romeo & Juliet waltz was underscored. Len giving them a 8 for that quickstep was ridiculous. I actually liked the Viennese Waltz and it didn't appear that he was favoring one leg. Chelsea was told that her Tango wasn't up to par, lacked emotion and leg work was off but received 9s & 10. The only complaint about R&K's was the emotion but even Len pointed out how good the choreography was and technique of the leg work yet they received 8s & a 9.

[nicknsharonfan]

@softsable79 Their waltz was tied for 2nd place that week with Hines & Kym. The quickstep was tied for 1st place that week with Hines & Kym, and 8 was the highest score Len gave that night. Judges point out different things and say different things but give score based on the overall performance. They obviously felt Chelsea's tango was overall better.

[softsable79]

@nicknsharonfan We'll just have to disagree. I know that they tied Hines & Kym for the waltz and QS but I don't think they should b/c they were better routines. I noticed that Len didn't give higher than a 8 that night but I assume that was b/c he was squished at the judges table b/c of the guest judge. The comments should much the scores. You can't say someone is not up to par and the leg work is off and give them 9s & a 10.

[minhmongngam]

@softsable79 : Agree. It seems that Chelsea and Ralph have been judged on double standards the whole season which Hines and Kirstie were exempted. Chelsea's outstanding technique put her through but Ralph got screwed b/c the judges obviously favored Hines.

[123Rockchild]

Lacked emotion...Len is an idiot . OPEN UP your eyes, old man!

And Bruno is ridiculous. How about judging the inferior couples the same way you judge Ralph? Ralph is tremendous! This show is rigged!

[SheilaAlarconM]

Ralph y Karina estuvieron excelentes, danzaron con una buena tecnica, pero la musica fue muy extraña, un Piazzola hubiese sido apropiado.

Bruno es muy emotivo para juzgar, unas veces es exhorbitantemente positivo y otras veces es miserablemente deplorable, no merece ser juez, no juzga técnica, presencia, habilidad, solo critica detalles irrelevantes. aaaghhh Bruno!

[dancepark49]

The judges were extremely biased and unfair to Ralph & Karina. That was a great tango. Unfortunately, the music was terrible for this dance. They were robbed. Yes, he was clearly thrown under the bus. He tweeted that one of his DWTS experiences was to have bus tire treads across his chest so he felt it too.

[fashiondesigner552]

i dont understand this: ralph is praised for his technique and gets 8's. chelsea is told her argentine tango is not on par, yet they give her 9's. make sense? i don't think so. ralph was ROBBED.

[Californiachik85]

Underscored!!! He deserved at least one 10!

[alexcheeze16]

hes so adorable :)

[msschuester]

HIS TANGO WAS WAY BETTER THAN HINES!!!SON OF A BITCH THE JUDGES ARE MOTHER FUCKING MONSTERS!!! ralph should have NOT been eliminated! fricken KIRSTIE should have!! she doesnt try NEARLY AS HARD AS RALPH DOES!! he DANCES! while kirstie acts!!! WTF DWTS!!

[jam2425]

Poor ralph has been underscored and treated shitty ever since they decided Hines was their favorite weeks ago.

He never had a chance no matter what he did...unfortunately resulting in him jumping thru hoops trying to please them wearing a butt pad 'n all. F-U DWTS!! Carrie Ann all teary eyed calling Hines "magic" GIVE ME A BREAK!

[SoSBxo]

This was great, really disappointed Ralph went home. Kirstie can barely stand on her feet, yet she makes it to finals. What a joke. The judges are not consistent and clearly have their favourites.

[TheDorapapi321]

Ralpha maccio is a scumbag, like he was in Karate Kid

[msschuester]

@TheDorapapi321 your a scumbag!! kiss my ass...ohh and while your at you can suck ralphs 10 foot long dick you ass whole

[lightningboysgirl16]

@TheDorapapi321 Go fuck yourself sideways, jackass!! Ralph is an awsome performer!!! D:<

[allisonpeace]

I think that Ralph did good, uh! o well

[malscyllis]

that asian is a cunt

[VaronteInc]

A shocking score for an absolutely beautiful dance! Rigged!!! Just sayin'...

[superlegals]

It's sad to watch these judges. I don't understand why they are still there.

[imcrazy85]

for the 1st time i disagree with all the judges i thought i was great and in his own style but correctly done

[morthren]

This was brilliant! I can't believe they were scored so low. Len had the right take on this. btw @spartacusnv, Hines is 35, Ralph is 49!

[MrMarla123]

Look at how far apart Maks and Karina are standing on stage. lmao. Why do they underscore some people and overscore others? Ralph's Argentine Tango was really very good to me. I want him to stay for the finals. I want Chelsea to go home.

[Ajotma]

I liked this dance! He really deserved at least a 27 in my opinion!

[Joyce51]

I hope everyone's votes were enough for Ralph & Karina to stay...I get so damn disgusted with these judges piss poor comments. :(

[minhmongngam]

Well, much as i have to admit that this Argentine Tango was not as good as I expected, I was totally pissed off by the judges last night. Ralph got injured last week and they did not give a single credit for the decent job he pulled through. Carrie Ann said something like as the judge they have to give score regardless of the injure. Fine ! And then, they give Hines and Kym a perfect score out of sympathy for Kym's injury. I'm very sorry but this whole thing seems like a scam to me :(.

[fashiondesigner552]

do you think the judges want him off the show or something? seriously, i feel like theyve underscored him in this, the jive, and especially his waltz!

[spooonakabigd]

I also wasnt impressed with Hines performance. Even though Kym injured herself and thank god that shes alright, they just gave him 10s for nothing. I was disgusted at the judges the whole night. Even when Carrie Ann said that Chelsea's dance wasnt up to par, she still gave her a 9. The judges are stupid or really stupid last night. You choose. I hope Ralph stays.

[spartacusnv]

I was not impressed by Hines. Also, this is terrible to keep hearing such bad remarks about Ralph. Ralph has always been such a gentleman despite what they say, and I believe that is why the judges are so cruel to him because he does give the judges the reaction they want, hence they give him low scores even though they know he is damn good. I like Hines and have voted for him but really, Hines' moves are not captivating and rhythmic like Ralph's (Ralph being younger). All votes to Ralph.

[softsable79]

@spartacusnv I find it interesting that Hines always thought of Ralph as his competition and even watched his performances but the judges acted like Ralph was a crappy dancer.

[nicknsharonfan]

@softsable79 Or maybe judges knew that Ralph was a good dancer and had higher expectation of him, whether that's fair or not. And, Ralph was Hines's closest MALE competition throughout and he too must know that Ralph is a good dancer.

[softsable79]

@nicknsharonfan I thought about but every time he improved something they criticized like his hands they would find fault in something else and overlook mistakes of the other celebs. Kirstie forgot the steps to her jive and received about the same score as Ralph who didn't miss the steps but was told it was frenzied!

[Ibelieveinmisoul]

I like Hines but he has been overscored all season. The judges have been too harsh on Ralph. Bruno has been downright rude to him.

[kprpearl]

8s???? C'mon, at least 9, but 10 wouldve been fair considering how they've been handing 10s out 2 Kirstie AND Hines so easily!

[khuong204]

i really hope they STAY!!! I really like these two, Ralph comes out 110% every night and does his best. This was a great dance and he was underscored, yet again! VOTE FOR THEM!!!

[Barclay1987]

I reallly like that dance! The best part about it is the technique of their legs! I believe that Carrie Ann and Bruno are being to hard on him. I'm very sure of it!

[jojoyauyau]

how can i concentrate on him........I just see Karina, she is perfect~

[dpcjb]

The judges are way to nice to Kristi, Ralph deserves to be in the final instead of her...

[seabyskit]

A terrific performance! Judges scored too low!

[parabreed]

He was not that bad, bruno was wrong.

[darilyn92]

this is totally underscored

[MissRmcc]

Yeah, I agree about the blatant underscoring. Carrie Ann made some critical comments about Chelsea and Mark's routine but gave them a 9? But for Ralph, she gives him an 8. This was probably one of Ralph's best dances. I wish the music didn't sound like out of an action sequence from C.H.I.P.s though.

[softsable79]

@MissRmcc The music has been a hit or miss all season!

[IdEst8]

It seems that judges hate some people and always underscore them. How come Ralph got it so low when Hines got three 10's? Hines is good (and I like him, btw), but his tango wasn't good at all (only Kym's choreography was great). He didn't do any dancing move. He was like a moving pillar supporting Kym. Ralph actually did some dancing here.

They are obviously setting Ralph up for elimination.

[IdEst8]

Judges are a bigger joke than Trump. Inaba and Bruno are having a constant period, their mood is unpredictable. They certainly don't think with their brain. Len is usually correct, but he has some strange outbursts of idiocy.

Judges are not supposed to base their judgment on pity. Kym was in hospital so Hines got three 10's for nothing? The same goes for the fat one (Kirstie). This fat angry woman may get charity votes from the audience, not from the judges.

[Astroknot3]

I think out of all the dances on this show, I'm loving the Argentine Tango the best! So much drama and suspense. Hope they make it a permanent addition to the show.

[sheilapiglet]

the judges clearly have their favourites and they're being so obviously biased against Ralph that it pisses me off.

[spooonakabigd]

@sheilapiglet 100% agree with you. im sick of carrie ann and bruno playin favorites and it really pisses me off. they are really setting up ralph to go home. i want to spray water on bruno and carrie ann

[prettyjess81]

This is some BS! Ralph is clearly being thrown under the bus here!

[JDubs878]

@prettyjess81

The judges and the show didn't only throw Ralph under the bus, it backed over him, ran over him, back over him and ran over him a few more times!! >:(

Seriously how the HELL does Kirstie who barely did any dancing makes it to the finals with those stupidly high scores while Ralph tried his hardest and gets taken to the cleaners on his scores? And then just to make it almost 100% sure that the fans can't save him, they convienently give Chelsea those extra 15pts? WHAT A JOKE!!

[fashiondesigner552]

@prettyjess81 the judges said he didn't follow through with the character or something or was missing intensity. (i can't remember, i dont rly wanna watch that part again because it ruins my perception of this great dance). honestly, i dont see what they see. it's not because im biased towards my favourite actor, its actually because shes a great dancer! why did the judges underscore him? did they not want him in the finals?

[Horselover215]

@prettyjess81 I totally agree!:(

[karalott19]

Ralph was thrown under the bus big time tonight. But as a vast majority predicted online, this week seemed set up to get him out and someone else into the finals. Bruno's turned mean. They didn't do anywhere near as bad as the judges made it out to be. And I like Kirstie, but I feel Ralph is better than her. I'm hoping for a surprise tomorrow and to see Ralph make it. But I'm not counting on it. My votes go to Hines after this.

[cdcotr]

liked that routine, karina did a good job

and love how Ralph is just open to whatever - even wearing pants with butt implants LOL!
