Dancing With The Stars

Monday nights mean only one thing in the Mushett house for Reagan and her mom...Dancing With The Stars. That has been Reagan's favorite show for quite a while as she recognizes the music from dancing with mom in the living room. We dance around doing many spins and dips. When we are done, Reagan lets out a "Whew!" and puts her arm in the air as her big finishing move. It is quite cute!

Reagan and I decided that we are going to update everyone on the show each week in case you missed it. And for all you guys out there...I will add Andrew's commentary since he watches the show only for the costumes, or I should say lack of costumes, each of the female dancers are wearing. I think Reagan has adopted the female dancer mentaility as this is what she watched the show in last night!

After week two, there are two clear cut favorites for us - the race car driver and the Cheetah Girl. They are both fantastic. Race car driver (Helio) is absolutely awesome. He is so polished and precise. I can only describe him as dreamy. He is what you would have imagined Fred Astaire to be like in the 60's. He is just so smooth...it is almost like you have stepped into a fantasy world when he is on the floor. It has to be that Brazilian blood! His partner, Dallasite Julianne, is also amazing for only being 19 years old. She would make any man a better dancer.

Cheetah Girl, Sabrina, is also great. She has such quick and light feet and her facial expressions are just awesome. She looks like she is having so much fun. It is almost not fair that she is on there, being an accomplished hip-hop dancer, but I guess ballroom dancing is a lot different than the hip-hop scene.

We are also big fans of Mark Cuban. He may not be the most technically sound dancer, but he is working extremely hard and looks to be having so much fun. I know he can be annoying (I personally think he is great. He just says what is on his mind and doesn't have a care in the world. I guess billions of dollars will do that to a person.), but I hope he sticks around for a few more weeks.

Poor Jennie Garth. I think she really was hurt after falling and getting hit in the head by her partner. She looked like she wanted to cry when they were giving the scores and then at the end when they were showing all of the dancers, she looked like she had been crying. She is so beautiful and I am sure her 90210 following will keep her in for many weeks to come.

Marie Osmond was also great last night. She looks amazing for having seven kids. She seems really energized during this whole process. I am sure it has to be great for your self-esteem to accomplish something so awesome. I am surprised at how much I like to watch her.

Wayne Newton has to go. He was awful, but I am sure he will stick around a few more weeks. Kind of like the Jerry Springer of this season.

No one else really knocked my socks off last night. I was disappointed Jane Seymour was not a little more saucy in her performance. She was absolutely stunning the first week. I cannot wait to see more of her.

Andrew's favorite moment was when Edyta and her partner took the floor. He had to do a double take when he saw what she was wearing - or what she wasn't wearing. Her costume did not leave a lot to the imagination, but I guess when you have a body like that, you can wear those things. She has a new video out that promotes dancing for fitness. If I can get a body like that, I will be first in line to buy it!

Anyway...that is our take. We would love to her what you thought. Just comment back to the site.

Gotta "go, go, go,"

Helio is my favorite too! Juliane is just so beautiful and accomplished for only being 19 that it makes me feel like a slacker. I'm so mad that Wayne didn't get the boot tonight. I would have been happy with him or the boxer. He isn't very good either. That model guy did not deserve to go home. My sister Heather is devastated because she thinks he is so cute. I personally think that Cameron is cuter.
