Motown Legend, Gladys Knight was in the bottom two with Disney star
Roshon. This would be an interesting dance duel, a contrast of young and
old (or should I say, classic/seasoned — I hesitated to call Gladys
old, but dance is like an athletic endeavor, after all). Host
Tom Bergeron
interviewed the two bottom-dwellers to extend the suspense. The couples
would be dancing jive, a hard dance for the duel and I thought this
would definitely benefit Roshon’s hip-hop energy. Poor Gladys! This
seemed way unfair.
The dance duel began with the pairs performing simultaneously
Already, Roshon looked much more limber than Gladys, although she kept
up gamely with Tristan’s choreography. It was a short duel, but nice to
see the more-seasoned competitor giving it her best shot. It was like
comparing apples and oranges.
