Celebrity Circus – final four!
This week wastes no time before a star leaves, though it’s not because of an elimination by vote – Christopher Knight fell from the trapeze and re-injured his arm. We watched a recap of ‘his journey’ and the judges showered him with praise, and how he’s an inspiration and unique. Awww. Poor old Brady Dude! That means that the competition continues – and Joey says that Chris would not have been eliminated tonight according to the vote – which means they’d better step it up, big time!
WeeMan is up first, and he’s doing Hand Balancing with Vlad. He doesn’t want to let Vlad down like he did in the German Wheel. After a visit from the smallest body builder in the world, Romeo, who’s only 20 inches tall, he was inspired to keep going, despite the limitations of their size differences. They swing in on ropes and get started with the act.It’s standard fair, and WeeMan wobbled a bit, but he did what he could do, being so short – but en the end, he did pick up Vlad, which was pretty awesome! The judges were impressed, and gave him a score of 10, 10, 10! Huh. I didn’t think it warranted that much, but alrighty.
It’s Stacy Dash’s turn, and she’s going to perform the Cradle. She took time out to go to her daughter’s Birthday party, and then it was straight to the gym once again. It’s breathtaking as they tumbled and swung and jumped and wow – nice. Lots of tricks, but the judges were a little hard on her for concentrating too hard and not making it fluid enough – but they want the Diva Dust back. Her scores: 8, 8, 8.
Next up, Antonio Sabato Jr. tackles the Wheel of Death after only 4 days of training. Heh. He was supposed to do trapeze, but it just wasn’t coming together for him after 8 weeks, so he moved to the Wheel of Death, but he says he loves being afraid. This is the event for him then! He’s in search of a 10 as he takes on the Wheel. Shirtless. RAWR. They kept cutting away from him though, but what I saw was pretty cool. He ended with a headstand on the outside of the wheel at the very top. The judges weren’t happy that he was repeating the same trick over and over, though what he did perform it was done well, but the event wasn’t his strongest event. Antonio starts getting uppity, with Aurelia and says he won’t crack her head again for her, he’s a man and won’t take it anymore. The scores: 7, 7, 8. He gets in one more shot, says he’s doing it for his kids and the fans, not for Aurelia.
We get a montage about training, and learn that they had 8 weeks to train the first act, and since then they have 4 days to meet their trainer and partner, , learn the routine, music and every week is getting harder and they’re all exhausted physically and mentally.
Next up, it’s Rachael Hunter vs. “a vicious beast in the most dangerous act we’ve ever attempted!” Why do I get the feeling – after all this buildup – that this is a clown act? How will she handle taming a raging bull? They show her training with her trainer wearing a bullshead before she has to face the bull, though they don’t show it until the performance. Joey says to stay in their seats no matter what happens, and it’s time for Rachael to fling the cape a bit – which she messes up once but then she says she’s ready and its…. nope, not clowns. It’s…. dogs. Chihuahuas.
Little dogs who end up pulling her pants off, showing ruffles. Nice. Aurielia isn’t sure what to say, but it was entertaining. They didn’t expect this type of act from her, but it was amusing and they’re speechless – except Louis of course who says it was a carcrash but he loved it. The scores: 6,6,7 – 6.3 average. She says they were a little higher then she expected, and she’s giggling and says she was just glad to make them smile.
So next week we’ll find which three stars will perform in the finale!
