Robert Herjavec And Kym Johnson: ‘Get A Room’ Or Just Sexy On ‘Dancing With The Stars’?

Perhaps the biggest shock of Monday’s Dancing With the Stars was that Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson were quickly declared safe when the results were announced. It was Rumer Willis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy facing off against Willow Shields and Mark Ballas for the elimination spot. Shockingly, the likable, high-scoring Shields and her dedicated partner Ballas saw their journey end.

This was despite Robert and Kym’s comparatively low judges’ scores. Monday night’s Argentine tango showcased Robert and Kym’s strongest asset: chemistry. While Herjavec was praised early on in the competition for his good-natured attitude and joy at being on the dance floor, the couple has increasingly turned up the heat.

After Monday’s program, Glamour blogger Jessica Radloff noted that the performance had clear romantic undertones.

“Did any of you guys feel you were watching something you shouldn’t be? If that’s what they’re doing on national TV, I don’t want to even think about what’s going on behind closed doors.”

Host Tom Bergeron called it “our get-a-room dance of the night.”

Radloff also revealed she saw Robert and Kym lock lips at the Race to Erase MS Gala on Friday. At that event Herjavec apparently let slip he’s taking Johnson on vacation. As Radloff tells it, Robert looked lovingly on as Kym posed by herself for photographers.

Some commentators seemed fine with Robert and Kym’s overt affection during Monday’s tango, performed to a slowed-down version of the 80s song “Word Up” by Cameo. TV Fanatic called them “cute” and approved of the more-than-meets-the-eye implication.

“There is obviously more going on there than their relationship as dance partners, and it’s adorable.”

Others, however, were less enthusiastic. ET Online called Robert and Kym’s “touchy feely” dance one of the worst moments of the evening.

“Yeah, we get it, you guys want to… It doesn’t need to be the focus of every dance, and it’s awkward. Like when you’re hanging out at a party and your friends are making out right next to you. Just get a room.”

The assessment of BuddyTV was that Robert and Kym should get a 10 for the tango if it is judged solely on its romantic elements.

Meanwhile, some viewers seemed to enjoy the performance, if Twitter is any indication.
