DWTS Week 1: Monica and Jonathan - Foxtrot (Bubbly, Colbie Caillat)
March 22nd, 2008
Monica is best known for her power on the tennis court. But to be the girlie girl, Jonathan teaches her to be softer. Monica’s anxiety and self doubt leaves her always looking for an exit. She said she hasn’t been this nervous in any of her grand slams. constantly feels like she needs to escape.
For her Foxtrot, Monica wore a bright pink prom dress. The whole routine recreates the prom she said she missed because she was at the French Open. Unfortunately, she was stiff. The whole Foxtrot was a bit too peppy. Not being an actress hurts Monica here. If the goal was to recreate the prom she missed, then that may well be a success. But for this competition, that recreation was a little too real. In the past seasons, it may not turn out to be as bad, but the competition in Season 6 is much better at the top.
The judges encouraged Monica to lift up with her core or as Len would put it, “Life it to shift it.” This should be her advantage as Monica probably have the best core of the ladies.
