Dancing With The Stars

I admit, I really enjoy Dancing With The Stars! It is one of the few shows that while I am watching, I realize that my face hurts because I’ve been smiling at the TV screen for 2 hours! It makes me smile! Very little on TV makes me smile anymore.

Now- I do not know anything about dancing but like to think that I know a good performer when I see one, and since I pay close attention to what the judges criticisms are, I’d like to think that I can see falters or flaylings when I see them. Stomping vs. gliding etc.

Len is my favorite judge as he is less dramatic than Bruno and less macho crazy than Carrie Ann (and Bruno). Len is no nonsense and tries to give constructive criticism. I like that.

This year so far my favorites are Giles, Shaun, Melissa and Ty.

I love the fact that you can see these folks working their tails off on something that they wouldn’t normally do. I like the improvement, the letting loose. Ty quickly became a favorite of mine the 2^nd week. He was so very stiff and movements seemed so foreign to him- but he came out and decided to step it up and I really enjoy watching him. Do I think he’ll “take it all”. No, but I will like watching him from week to week.

Woz left this week. And I think it was time. I love his spirit and optimism. I did think at times the judges were on the cruel side and I crossed my fingers hoping their remarks would end so that the show wouldn’t become another bashing contest. I want smiles, remember! I think folks like Woz and Jerry Springer and crew are the reason (partly) that this show is having huge success. These guys come out to try something they otherwise wouldn’t, and we end up rooting for them to go as far as they can!

So- next week I think it will be Steve-o’s turn to go. I wish him the best and I hope that with this venture he has proved to himself that he can make it sober. I think that LT will go out along side Steve-o, if it is a double elimination. If not, LT will go soon. But again he will have proven to himself and all the little league footballers that dancing can be cool- and if you want to do something- DO IT, and do it the best that you can.

See- Good stories- all of them! J
