ABC/KELSEY McNEALNo matter what you think about Rocco DiSpirito's dancing, you have to agree that it took some pretty big cojones to do what he did last night.
The chef wore a pink chiffon shirt with ruffled sleeves!
Unfortunately, the samba he performed with Karina Smirnoff wasn't nearly as inspired.
Read on to find out what Rocco says about that colorful costume, his mom's reaction and a possible dance-off with...Bruno's accountant?
Let's get right to it: Pink chiffon ruffles? What was that about?
I was willing to try anything to capture the spirit of the dance and Brazilian Mardi Gras, and Karina and I had fun with it. The costume crew is amazing.
And then you ripped the sleeves off!
It's the kind of show and song to pull out all the stops. I don’t think I will ever have a chance to do that again—thankfully—but it was really fun.
What did your mom think of the shirt?
Mama looked at me the same way she did when I came home with my marshmallow high-heel sneakers in 1972.
OK, enough about the shirt. Had you ever danced a samba before?
Well, you saw my dance. I think you know the answer.
Bruno said, "Rocco, I like you very much, but all the ruffles in the world can't disguise the fact that you haven't got a musical bone in your body." Ouch! Does that hurt?
I am sure there is one musical bone. I just need to keep looking.
He also said his accountant can do a better samba. Maybe it's time for a dance-off with Bruno's accountant?
I just heard his accountant is the Latin American five-time samba champion.
So what do you want to say to the viewers? Why should they be voting for you?
Karina and I are so grateful for your votes…This is the most fun I have ever had, and it is all because of your support.
