The Hinchburg Chronicles

Oh absolutely.  They are my team this season too.  I just tend to be a worrywort. 

Just watched James SI report. Unfortunately my reply box editor is missing so I can't put a ding dang thing on here beyond small print! They had just finished rehearsal at 10:30 at night.

I know, sue, I worry too. I am starting a mantra, James and Sharna will win, and every time I start questioning I will repeat that mantra. Can't hurt!

Sharna Burgess' 'DWTS' Blog: 'Everything Magically Came Together'



ABC
Sharna Burgess is our “Dancing with the Stars" guest blogger this week. Check out her post below!
“Most Memorable Year” is always one of my favorite weeks on “Dancing with the Stars.” I love getting to know our celebrities and finding out something special about them and their story. I usually need a box of Kleenex from start to finish, and this season was no different.

I was incredibly proud of James. It was a tough week putting our tango together, and not because he was not learning, but because I was not producing choreography that I thought was strong enough. I have to be honest and say that I was changing choreography on him right up until Sunday, and he handled it like a champ. I, of course, put the pressure on him because I wanted to make sure this dance emulated James’ story.

Usually I have contemporary for “Most Memorable Year,” so it was very different for me to have a tango and try to tell the story while having to stay in frame. Everything magically came together the night of and James performed beautifully. He blew away the judges and we almost got a perfect score, but more importantly we got OUR highest score yet. We were an amazing team on Monday and it was an honor for me to choreograph that piece for James.

Heading into Week 6, it is Latin night, which means we need to get the hips moving and the sexy face happening. We have the rumba and I love our song, it is very romantic and sexy in its own way. I have decided to go very authentic, ballroom competition in our costumes. It is going to be a great night.

It was amazing to not have to lose anyone this week, but someone is going home next week and we need votes more than anything!

Thank you for all the love to everybody that is voting and supporting us. You guys are amazing. #TeamStopNGo, we are going to keep making you proud!

Sharna is a perfectionist and with James she has a very willing and able accomplice. They are such a good team, things just mesh for them. James, in his SI report jokingly referred to Sharna as "the boss".

James and Sharna will win!!!!

What a beautiful photo of the team!  How interesting that Sharna wants to present it in traditional ballroom competition fashion.  Will Len be back on Monday?  He will appreciate their approach, and maybe that is the idea. 

James and Sharna will win! 

I forgot that Pitbull is going to be there next week, so yeah, Len probably won't be there.  

Got a question.  If James does win, will he appear on the tour?  I'm guessing it's not a requirement for the mirrorball winners, although I can imagine that they are encouraged to participate (and of course get paid for appearing).

Great picture!


James and Sharna will win!! 

Love this team.

Sometimes I think JH likes playing the "bad cop". They should have had a 10.

James and Sharna will win!

Looking forward to another Ricardo appearance. Using an alter-ego may be the best way for James to perform a sexy rumba and not have problems with his sweetheart. A significant portion of the public also has a hard time understanding that two people can perform a very romantic dance with each other and not be in a relationship. I prefer the alter-ego solution to the fake showmances. Good luck this week Ricardo!

Couldn't figure out how to post a tweet here, but Sharna tweeted a post from a fan who posted a crossword puzzle entry from a Toronto newspaper.

Across #24:  "Ms. Burgess (Pro-dancer who is #5-Down's partner on "Dancing with the Stars")"
Answer:  "Sharna"

Down #5:  "As per #24-Across. . .James ___ (IndyCar driver from Oakville, Ontario who is on the current season of "Dancing with the Stars")"
Answer:  "Hinchcliffe"

Sharna responded:  "Omg this is awesome!  Look Ma!  I made it!!!"


The puzzle even got their names to intersect at the "h".

Good to hear the equipment is fine. So we can assume James has the balls to dance the steamy Rumba that Bruno will be looking for, which should include the connection Carrie Ann is after. Finish your arm extensions James, get those hips going and drag your feet to take the wind out of Julianne's sails. Pitbull is somewhat unpredictable, but surely this guy has his own opinion. Part of it will depend on how he likes the song.
Sharna has absorbed everything the judges had to say about their expectations for a certain dance style over the years, so I don't expect points will be deducted for choreography or content. James is used to leaving nothing to chance; that's a question of survival in his job. This should be their first perfect score. If not, something's rotten in the state of Denmark.

           Oh brother, you crack me up!!!     Thanks for saying what I was thinking!!!   Betta you say it than me!!

                               TeamStopAndGo Will win!!! 

As we wait for Latin Night--a few videos just for fun:


Helio and Julianne do their Rumba (Florence Henderson is in the audience too)

James and Sharma FTW! 

You find and deliver lots of goodies for us, sue. Thanks.

James and Sharna will win!

I'm having eye surgery tomorrow morning so by show time I will be a one eyed jack and that one eye isn't that efficient. So I am depending on blow by blow descriptions from everyone. I will have to read them with a magnifying glass I guess.

Eye checkups--I've always hated the times when when they would use those drops to dilate the eyes on me.  It always seemed like hours before the effect finally wore off.  I'm sure you'll do fine on your surgery though, and I hope you will feel comfortable enough to enoy the show.

Good luck with your eye surgery, sis.  I do hope you can make it to the annual "Latin 
Night" celebration at the St. Petasburg Inn tomorrow night.  All you have to do is
shake your hips and enjoy the Mexican food.  I'll be generous this year and let you have the first whack at the pinata.
