Dancing with the Stars - April 29th

Dancing with the Stars - The Results Show
April 29th

So last night was another Dancing with the Stars Results show, and Monday night had it's share of excitement, with Christian pulling a muscle in his arm in the middle of the dance, and yet they were still safe.

So who did we say good-bye to, well, as the pictures tell, we said good-bye to Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough. It will not be the same without Derek, I loe to watch him dance, but overall, I'm okay with Shannon going home.

I have no idea who Shannon Elizabeth is, or how she got on Dancing with the Stars, but she tried and worked hard, and I think this is the downfall of just about every model type on the show, when you are tall and thin (like they want models to be) you have the tendency to look gangly when dancing, there is just not the smoothness or flow of the arms and legs as with others.
Personally, I would have been jumping for joy if Mario and Karina had went home last night, they were my vote to go, but sadly they stayed. Sorry to all of you out there that like him, but there is just somethign about him that doesn't set well, and then there is the ice princess karina, I really liked her when she danced with Mario Lopez, but since then she has developed an attitude (although I think it has always been there, but with Mario L, they were dancing so well, and he was such a great sport that it didn't show on her until the end when they announced the winner and you could tell she was pissed and Mario was like it's okay)

So another week of my guilty pleasures in watching "reality" tv. Thanks for sharing with me in my fun, and look for an update on the Brownie Camping trip soon (just give me a little more time to recover!)

Dancing with The Stars - ResultsShow - April 22

Last night was the results show on Dancing with the Stars, and you know, that means another star went home.





Marlee Matlin and her dancing partner, Fabian were in the bottom two, and they were annouced as in the bottom at the very beginning of the show, which I hated.

They shared bottom two, or the red light with Mario and Karina, and while I know that Marlee was not the best dancer, I would have been fine with Karina and Mario leaving last night, but alas that was not to be as Marlee and Fabian were sent home.

You know, I loved watching Marlee dance. I know the fast dances were her downfall, but then what did you expect. I am just so amazed and proud of her to see a deaf woman get out there and do as well as she did.
She learned the slower dances and looked great, and she tried as hard as she could on the faster dances, but they were too hard, which says nothing against Marlee. I think she is a wonderful actress and person and I am just so proud that she risked it and got out there on the dance floor and showed they what she had.

For next week....well, I personally have just had enough of Karina, her personalty is just wearing on me, so she and Mario can go. Then Shannon Elizabeth and Derek, although I love watching Derek, she just still has not figured out how to look like a woman on the dance floor, no hips, and she can cry all she wants, in dancing the hips have to be there, and no just there, but overly exaggerated to show up. I think she is starting to learn to move the hips, but not enough to show up. Personally, I think Kristi wins this season, there is no one that can even come close to her, but then there is Mark Ballas bad luck, last year he had one of the best dancers in Sabrina Bryan and got kicked off way too soon, but still I think she wins it all. As to who can go the whole way with her....well, really, no one else is anywhere close.

Okay, so next week we get two dances. Let's see how they do!

Dancing with the Stars - Women's Night

Dancing with the Stars - Women's night!

So last night the women danced, and I saw most of it, although for the first half hour I was switching back and forth between Dancing and Biggest Loser.

Shannon Elizabeth is paired with Derek Hough. Ok, I have no clue who she is, although I thought I heard a profession poker player, but still, she was pretty decent last night, so if that keep Derek around for awhile, I am all for that one! She is cute, young and did a good job, so I can handle watching her for awhile.

Priscilla and Louie, well....humm, she did well last night and Louis is good, and she is dancing for the older crowd, but I need to say one thing, Priscilla, I hope you sued the pants off the plastic surgeon that did that to your face! She has had at least one if not more BAD face lifts. At this point her cheek bones stick out and her lips have this exaggreated bow pointsto them, and it is really hard to look at her! I feel so bad, and she was and would still be such a beautiful woman if she hadn't gotten that bad surgery! I can handle watching her dance, but not when they show a close up of her face. I am feel so bad about that!

Marisa, I know she is on broadway, I think playing the Ricki Lake role Hairspray, which is great, and I love, love the fact that she is NOT a size two! And then there is Tony!! Oh, how I love to watch him dance too! This will be nice. She did a good job, a little low on content, but it was the first week and I think Tony took it a little slow on her, maybe he has Jane on his mind still, so this should be a good one to watch too.


Monica Seles and Jonthan Roberts, this should be good! She is such a great athlete that it will be fun to watch the committment she puts into this, but she is defintely not a girly-girl. I think she can pull it off though and it will be nice to see. Jonthan, well I didn't like him last season with Marie Osmond, he started looking like a long lost Osmond by the end of the season, so I not sure what I think of him right now. Hopefully it will be fun to watch.


Kristi and Marc, they were amazing last night! I am so excited that Marc got another awesome partner this season, and personally I think it is time for the gals to win. They should have won last season, but I think they have a cast set up for them to win this season! Kristi and Marc could be it! She is graceful and beautiful and although the dancing is not the top, I think she could be. She is determined, just like Monica, so I can see these two putting alot into their practices and doing very well.

Marlee and Fabio (?), okay so we have a new guy, don't know what to make of him yet, but Marlee surprised the pants off me! I knew that she is good and has mastered alot even being deaf, but I wasn't sure about this, but she did great, and I think we will see her for awhile in this! I love her, and I am so excited to watch her. I just hope that having a new guy doesn't hurt her in the competition this season. I would like to see her go far.

So, now you know what I thought....I think it just might be the women's year to take the title, and I would love to see that happen.

Dancing with the Stars - Men's Night

Okay, so last night was Men's Night on Dancing with the Stars, and you all know that I was watching, because by this point you know that you can count on me to be watching anything reality and voting show-wise because I am just addicted to the stuff! Oh well, at least it is a cheap habit!

Steve Guttenburg is paired with Anna, and all I can remember about her is that she was pair with Albert or somebody last year and was the second to leave, I think. Steve is kinda like having John Ratzenburg on the past year. He is a nice funny guy, but he has a LONG way to go in the dancing. He didn't do too bad and I can see him staying around for a little while.

Adam Carrolla and two time champ Julianne Hough....well, it's about time! Julieanne is a great girl and a wonderful dancer, but two years in a row she has pulled the best athlete in the competition and then the best smiler and won both years. You knew that it had to happen, she was going to get paired with someone that couldn't dance his way out of a box! Finally it happened, she got Adam, who has got to be the worst dancer. You know, I think he might even be worse than Billy Ray Cyrus, and yes I like his music, but he is no dancer, even he said that. So this is the year for Julieanne to leave early, and the earlier the better is all I can say.

I have no idea who this guy is that is paired with Cheryl. His name is Cristian something, and he's latin, but other than that, I know nothing. He is a decent dancer, I mean really, he's latin he better know how to dance! So Cheryl has a chance to stay around for awhile this year. You knew after she won her second title that they would have to give her some bad guys to even it out, and that is what happened, but I think she is getting back up there now. We'll see how this on goes.

Jason Taylor and Edtya, well....I like Jason, he's our token football player this year, and I think he will be a good dancer. He's paired with Edtya, and although I think she is a great dancer, I hate her outfits! She starts out the season okay, then they get skimpier and skimpier, until it's like a string bikin with a skirt! I am sorry, but I have never been able to understand her dresses and that just makes me not want to watch them. Although if Jason dances as well the rest of the season as I am expecting him to do, then they could be there in the end.

Mario and Karina, haven't we seen this before? You know I loved watching her and Mario Lopez dance, although that may have been because I would watch anything with Mario Lopez in it! I liked her that season, she had a softness to her that I have not seen since, and I don't know if that had to do with her and Mario's relationship or what, but since then she has just gotten, well, bitchy. She is a little cocky in the interviews and then she is kinda mean to her partners, and so I am not sure what is going on with her. This Mario is young and good, so watch out, but I am not sure I can handle to much of Karina, unless she softens up again.

Penn and Kym, you know I am really tired of Kym getting all the left-footed guys, I mean after Jerry Springer, she should have gotten a winner! Really!! I would have liked to see Kym and Jason. I think Kym deserves a better partner, but then again maybe Penn will surprise me, but last night was not a good beginning, but then again it wasn't good of anyone, aside from Mario. So I am hoping for good things from Penn because I think Kym deserves better, so I hope he doesn't disappoint.

Tuesday night is the ladies and I am looking forward to that one again. Check back tomorrow for my thoughts on it. Voting online for Dancing with the Stars is free and you can do it at http://www.abc.com/ and that is the ONLY way I vote, if I vote! I refuse to pay money for this stuff!

So who is your favorite?
