Showmatch - Programa 22/10/18 - Cuarteto - Gala 1

THE QUARTET HAS BEGUN ON DANCING 2018 On Monday, October 22nd, three couples kicked off the competition's new rhythm. Cinthia Fernández received the highest score, Jimena Barón kissed Mauro Caiazza, and Mica Viciconte, with Poroto Cubero visiting, crossed paths with Flor Peña again. JIMENA AND MAURO, FIRE AND PASSION Marcelo started a new week of Dancing 2018 with the presentation of the quartet, which will eliminate one contestant and featured an opening number by the show's dancers. Jimena Barón and Mauro Caiazza were the first couple to take the floor and performed a choreography to "Cómo olvidarla" by Rodrigo. Before their performance, Jimena shared her feelings after her show at the Opera Theater, where she also sang with Mauro. "Are you dating him?" Marcelo asked her. “Did they kiss outside of here?” Laurita Fernández asked, seeing that neither of them dared to confirm the romance. “I see Jimena as willing, and him as very hesitant,” Ángel De Brito commented. “The team is fine as it is,” Mauro justified himself. When it came time for the judges' feedback, De Brito (secret vote) stated: “I don't know if it's a staged romance to create a buzz or if they want to hide it. I see Jimena very eager to dance, but they seemed rushed. It was strange. I think they can do much better.” Laurita (7) noted: “What happened beforehand carried over to the dance. I saw Jimena on fire, and Mauro seemed more timid. But I really liked the first trick.” Florencia Peña (6) commented: “It wasn't my favorite thing about you two. I think you're capable of doing better. You have to translate that chemistry to the quartet.” Marcelo Polino (10) objected to Jimena being "put on sale," but she clarified: "I'm putting myself on sale with him." After so much back and forth and insistence, Mauro finally agreed to kiss her. "I love it because they put on a great show. I'm going to celebrate this kiss with this score," the journalist added. Total: 23 points. MICA, LOVE WITH CUBERO AND WAR WITH FLOR Accompanied by Nacho Saracerni, and with her boyfriend, Poroto Cubero, present, Mica Viciconte danced to the rhythm of "Yo no te pido la luna" by La Konga. "He knows I love him," she said previously about the Vélez player, who asked for a 10 from Polino in exchange for a kiss. "You like all the ones who keep you on a short leash," De Brito (secret vote) teased Cubero. And she added: “I like the couple they make. However, I didn't like what Mica did today. I think she can do better.” Laurita (5) agreed: “All the ease I saw in the last gala was missing today. I didn't like it that much.” Flor (2) gave her a concise thumbs down: “I didn't like it either. That's it.” Mica asked for an explanation, and the actress replied: “You say I'm not qualified as a judge, so I have nothing to say to you.” Finally, Polino (1) was ironic: “The kiss was good, and a kiss gets a point.” Indignant at Flor's “lack of feedback,” Mica fired back: “You think you're so great. You're here today, but who knows about tomorrow.” The couple's coach, Lorena Portillo, requested the BAR (Video Assistant Referee), which observed an improvement in Mica's performance and added a point. “It's a shame that personal issues are being mixed in, because it was wonderful,” Lourdes Sánchez commented. Total: 9 points. CINTHIA, WITH THE ESSENCE OF QUARTET Cinthia Fernández and Gonzalo Gerber closed the night with a performance of “Cómo le digo” by Rodrigo. “Why don’t you bring your boyfriend?” De Brito (secret vote) asked Cinthia during the scoring round. Regarding the dance, he remarked, “I really liked it. Finally, I see real quartet.” Laurita (9) also gave her approval: “I loved it. This is the energy of quartet. I’m only going to deduct one point because I still see Cinthia frowning, and I would have liked more partner dancing.” Flor (10) was very complimentary: “They brought back my joy. I love this group; they always strive for more.” Meanwhile, Polino (8) concluded, “I loved what they did, although it was a little over the top with the acrobatics.” Total: 27 points.
