Gisel and Berto are up last with the tango. I have to say that Gisel's stalker qualities transfer well into the hot Latin dance. Furthermore, Gisel is clearly the least bad singer out of the group, but American idol she ain't. Berto's singing is not so good, but he delivers his part with confidence and panache. Beside Jenn, Gisel and Berto appear to be the only ones that can actually dance. I would have given a lot to see Jenn paired with Berto for this dance, I'm thinking it would have been sizzling. After their performance Gisel is sure that they won, but Berto, working the humility thing, is a little more critical of their performance.
Look deep into my eyes. I'm the only one for you.
And then it's judgment time...
Maria Conchita announces that the winner gets to be a guest DJ on a Latin radio show. Then Serg gives his analysis of their dancing.
He loves Jenn's style and pizzazz, but says that she and Enrique lack connection. He's finding this especially disappointing since he talked to them about that specific issue. Jenn agrees that they lacked a connection because when Enrique missed her hand she was pissed that he was going to ruin her dance. Way to put your feelings aside and rise to the occasion. As much as I like Jenn, I'm beginning to thing that a few rageaholic meetings might be just the ticket.
Maria Conchita chimes in that Enrique's singing was flat and lacked confidence. Things aren't looking so good for little Enrique if Maria Conchita is once again disappointed. Just like you don't want to bore Nina, you don't ever want to disappoint Maria Conchita.
Serg goes on to tell Geovannie and Roseny they lacked precision. I have to say that I'm little surprised that that's all he had in the way of a critique, but Roseny's all like, "Whatever, Sergio." Maria adds that it sounded like they were singing two different songs.
Then Serg goes to Gisel and Berto and he almost swoons with delight. Gisel and Berto embodied tango more than any other tango he'd ever seen. Anywhere. Ever. It's the stalker thing, you know, it adds the intensity. Maria Conchita's maternal claws come out just a little and she tells Gisel that she has no idea how beautiful she is when she isn't complaining. Then, a little reluctantly, Maria kind of says something along the lines of, 'Hey you, Gisel, I guess you're the winner.' And I'm giggling a little, while Gisel tells the camera that winning made her feel like she belonged in the house.
Roseny has a serious hissy fit with the camera, telling us in a voice dripping with sarcasm what a shock it was that somebody with such severe ankle injury suddenly healed and won and maybe she had a miracle cream on her ankle. It's much easier to listen to her when I have chips, salsa and tequila to take the edge off. Go away, Ice Princess.
Not surprisingly, little Enrique is the loser because once again he didn't give what they were waiting for him to give. Charo, having a kind heart, runs up to give him a kiss because she doesn't believe there's such a thing as losers. And I'm not going to go with any obvious jokes here. But the editors insert a shot that makes it look like Geovannie's not too thrilled that his adolescent fantasy is kissing another man, which is pretty funny. I appreciate the editors' attempts to spice things up. Then, Maria Conchita says that because this is Viva Hollywood and, you know, it's normal for Latinos to break out in spontaneous music and dance, just like Bollywood and gay lovers in piano bars, they should dance.
After the festivities, the Chicos head back to the house to decide who's going to duel with Enrique. Roseny feels her biggest competition is Jenn. Geovannie tells Enrique that the only people who can go would be him or Jenn.
Carlos shows up with the death cards wearing a fuchsia shirt and a striped tie that is not a good choice. Note to Carlos: you are the highlight of my week. Seeing you makes this train wreck of a show worthwhile, so please get your wardrobe together.
Dear Yenta, I promise to burn this shirt. Heart, Carlos.

This review cracks me up. Does the "under the table" cameraman get paid extra for having sit under the entire day, or does he just get the "perks"?

I have to disagree, I think Carlos can pull off the fuschia shirt, specially if it's as tight as that one. He is so dreamy! :) Hilarious recap Yenta, loves it!

Hola;
bmcl: I can't help thinking that working a camera on this set must be a totally bizarre experience...Don't mind me I'm just going to squat under your dinner for a few moments...
MichyPR: I wish that Carlos would sing on the show, but maybe the comparison with the actual contestants would be too painful...sigh...
