I bet Apollo feels pretty dumb saying that he&#039;s aiming to be the first person to score 60, and not only doesn&#039;t he do it, but two other people do it in the same night.<\/p>\n<p\/>Here&#039;s some trivia.  This weekend, My Big Fat Greek Wedding was on tv.  Know who plays cousin Angelo in that movie?  Joey Fatone.  He even gets to dance a bit.<\/p>\n<p\/>This week Joey is the first to be safe, and then Laila, so it&#039;s down to Apollo and Ian.  The obvious guess is Ian.  He made a valiant comeback, but he&#039;s not as strong a performer as the others.<\/p>\n<p\/>You know, when the musical guest (Julio Inglesias) just sings and there&#039;s no dancing, I think we&#039;re pushing it a bit.  I think that the combination of a musical guest with a dancing demonstration is absolutely brilliant, combining the best of several worlds into something that is completely unique on television today.  But then they go and fall into a pattern &#8212; sing an old song that everybody knows (Let Me Be Your Hero), and then sing something to promote your new album.  Which would be fine, except why wasn&#039;t anybody dancing during the second number?  Lame.<\/p>\n<p\/>The flamenco (am I spelling that right?) demonstration looked&#8230;.weird.  I swear it looked like a bunch of guys in an ethnic neighborhood sitting around on the front steps banging on the side of the house while a guy in his pimpsuit pretended to be Michael Flatley Lord of the Dance.  I guess it just wasn&#039;t for me.<\/p>\n<p\/>And after 25 minutes of filler and 30 seconds of payoff, Ian goes home as it should be.  Everybody&#039;s happy.  He got his 10s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big semi-final week, with scores of 60-60-59-58.
