Judges’ comments: Len Goodman said it was well done and that Rob did a terrific job. “Your foot work was great. You did a fantastic job. Well done.” Bruno Tonioli: “You are the master of the house, you never have been so manly and in charge, you were really leading.” He also told Rob to “keep your bum under control.” Carri Ann Inaba said it was Rob’s best dance so far.
Dancing With The Starsseason 13 was back in full swing for its premiere September 19, 2011.Reality TV star Rob Kardashianand Cheryl Burke danced the Viennese Waltz as sisters Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney and bro in law Lamar Odom watched on. Kris and Bruce Jenner were also there. Rob said he is doing DWTS because he wants to come out from under his famous sisters’ shadow. He was a bit stiff on the dance floor, but his adorable factor made up for it. I look forward to his next routine.
Bruno said Rob looked petrified and he needs to relax. He also said he felt no musicality at all and needs to take control. Of course Khloe yelled something about wax between Bruno’s ears and that she felt the music. Score: 5
Carrie Ann said she saw potential when watching him dance and called him debonair– “You clean up nice”. Score: 6
Len said he’s not impressed, but he’s not depressed either by the performance. He said Rob was too careful and thinking about all the instructions. He told him instead of worrying if he’s good or not, “Go out fighting, but just come out and dance!” Score: 5
