After last weeks great performances I wasn’t sure what Celebrity Circus would bring, but wow did they sure bring some great acts! Although the show was full of great performances, it starts off with a sad note. During his practice Chris took a large fall and re broke his arm. Because of this the doctor said he could no longer compete in the circus and therefore he removed himself from the show. Because of this all the celebrities move on to the last round before the finals. Saving someone who was meant to go home this week.

First up was Wee Man. Last week the judges finally gave him praise and I wasn’t sure if he could hold up to their standards but he really did. His act was the hand balancing act and he performed it with his “bro” Vlad. It was a great performance with Wee Man keeping up with the seasoned Vlad and it was hard to tell that they had limited practice time. He even lifted Vlad up in the end, earning him a standing ovation and the shows first 10 from each of the three judges.

The shows Golden Girl was up next and Stacey’s act was amazing as well. This week she wanted to take the stress out of the circus and not focus so much on winning. It seems this was her downfall as although her performance was amazing, the judges were somewhat harsh. Stacey’s act was the rocking cradle and it took a ton of skill to perform it. She worked with a partner who mostly swung on the cradle as she flipped and spun as he caught her mid air. It was a very risky stunt and she handled it well. Of course there were a few flubs but still it was great. The judges all gave her an 8 and said she didn’t bring her “diva” style. Stacey is growing on me more yet the judges and I seem to always have a differing view of her.

Next up was Antonio who after a lackluster week last week needed something big. It turns out his original act was trapeze and in the end it didn’t work out. Because of that he ended up changing to the wheel of death. Although he was scared to do the act, Antonio pulled through and had an ok performance when it counted. The first three turns of the wheel had Antonio doing the same grasping/upside down move with really no variety. In the end he did a handstand at the top of the wheel and that’s about it. If I was a betting man I’d say he’ll be heading home next week after that but really who knows. Thankfully the judges agreed with me and gave Antonio two 7s and an 8.

Rachel was the last to go this week and her act was being billed once again as one of the most dangerous acts the show has seen yet. Her pre-performance package showed her hyping up to battle the bull but in the end we were all fooled as the bull ended up being a dog! It was VERY entertaining and one of the most fun acts to watch ever on the show. It may not have been dangerous or risky but it will be one of the most memorable acts from the show. The judges seemed to be speechless after they saw her act but seemed to love it. Rachel said she knew it was a risk but wanted to do it to get the full circus experience. The judges seemed to go against their sheer joy of the act by giving her two 6s and a 7. Hopefully the votes are there to save Rachel since her act was good even if it wasn’t risky!
