The tax Dancing with you. Rating 2
Who sits on the couch to watch Dancing with the stars wants to see Dancing with the stars. Not the end of year essay. He wants to see the official competitors dance, the venomous jury, the outbursts live. But no: from last night at the opening of prime time the tax returned Dancing with youor the tournament of talented rookies coming from the spin off Dancing On The Roadwhich until last week aired late at night. The idea is also noble, it is the tradition of the house, “let’s give dreams a chance”.
But from a television perspective it’s like a tricycle walking on the highway. So the episode gets longer and heavier to the point that when the real contestants finally arrive, half of the weekly patience is already exhausted.. The moment Dancing with you It’s not bad, it’s just out of context. It doesn’t introduce the show, it slows it down.
The slab-gate of Dancing with the Stars 2025all smoke and no fire. Rating 0
Nothing else was talked about this week, after Francesca Fialdini’s revelations. The Tuscan presenter is temporarily out of the competition due to injury but this did not prevent her from taking part in Secret dancingthe spin-off of Dancing with the stars available streaming on RaiPlay. Here, iInterviewed by Milly Carlucci and her right-hand man Giancarlo De Andreis, she said that two competitors (a man and a woman) would have asked her to show the x-rays, casting doubt on her injury. Initially she hurt her right foot during the tests, then the tests revealed three displaced rib fractures.
Milly Carlucci, in connection with Alberto Matano a Life livehad told of a “lively” confrontation between Fabio Fognini and Francesca Fialdini. Last night Martina Colombari and Barbara D’Urso, implicated by rumors as instigators, were not named. In the end Fognini approached Francesca Fialdini sitting in the audience to apologize, calling the whole thing “a misunderstanding”. In short: much ado about nothing.
Martina Colombari can compete in Argentine tango competitions. Rating 9
«Can you give it an 11?» asks Ivan Zazzaroni after seeing Martina Colombari’s Argentine tango with maestro Luca Favilla. On the dance floor, watching them dance, the distinction between professional and competitor is not noticeable. Therefore, Zazzaroni is not wrong. «You were elegant, precise, perfect: tangos like that have rarely been seen on Dancing with the Stars». Fabio Canino invited her to continue dancing even when this experience is over: «Your tango is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen here, certainly in the last two or three years».
According to Carolyn Smith, the former Miss Italy can go to an Argentine tango competition starting tomorrow. “It was done so well that at times it seemed like a tutorial,” said Selvaggia Lucarelli. Guillermo Mariotto ruined the atmosphere: “Everything is beautiful, but there is zero feeling.” The truth is that he deserves the zero who wasn’t emotional because what the other judges said is true: rarely has such engaging choreography been seen on the Rai 1 track. And Martina Colombari, so far, is the competitor who has improved the most compared to all the others.
Andrea Delogu with Nikita Perotti (IPA)
Nobody can put Andrea Delogu in a corner. Vote 10
Whoever turned on the TV while Andrea Delogu and Nikita Perotti were dancing will have thought that it was being broadcast on Rai 1 Dirty Dancing and not Dancing with the stars. Because their freestyle to the tune of the film’s soundtrack with Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze, it was more emotional than the original. The result? Crazy, powerful, romantic, with that lightness that seems natural only when there is a lot of work behind ita lot in fact.
AND when Andrea flew on Nikita for the angel grip, the one most dreamed of by entire generations of girls, spontaneous applause broke out in the studio and at home. Not only for the performance, but also and above all for the newfound smile: after a dark moment, Andrea has returned to being bright. It is no coincidence that she is the first semi-finalist of the evening, without going through direct challenges. When someone dances like this, they don’t compete: they win.
The jury that rewards Magnini by sacrificing Fognini. vote 3
Seeing Fabio Fognini beaten in the challenge directed by Filippo Magnini was a great television injustice. Then yes, luckily Fabio was saved. But the idea that it could go out that way remains a stain on the episode. It must be said that Magnini dances well, no one claims otherwise. But Fognini is certainly no exception. And he brought something extra every Holy Saturday: lightness, irony, self-irony, enthusiasm.
Until now he has been the official animator of the program, always with a smile on his face, never a sulk, never a controversy, loved by the public and until yesterday… also by the jury.
Instead, just last night, the stab wound: the same jury that for nine weeks preached the importance of the human component suddenly changed its mind. In just one night the dance suddenly became sacred, unquestionable. End of feelings?
