Jennie Garth Might Have To Go

Tonight was a mixed bag for me when it came to Danicng With the Stars. Helio was great and really showed once again that he is the person to beat, while Jennie Garth did not do so well. Even though she had the third-best overall score, I think she might be the one going home. She just lacked the charm she usually has and really did look like she doesn't believe that she is a good dancer. Plus anyone who gets so emotional from a pep talk given by Richard Simmons makes me wonder.... She is my girl, though, so that would make me sad if she went home, but at least I still have Helio.

In the first round of dances, only Helio and Julianne stood out. They did a paso doble that was pretty good - definitely deserved 9s across the board. Maks and Mel were the second best and then everyone else was blah.

The second round was much of the same, but Helio and Julianne were awesome. They did a quickstep that might have been the best dance of the year by any couple. It was awesome and the kiss that Helio planted on Julianne just before the end of the dance ... hmmm. She looked a little surprised that he did that, so I have to wonder if that was planned or not. In any event, it was awesome and makes them the clear leaders going into the semifinals. Can you believe there is only two weeks to go?

Otherwise, the show was really uneventful. Everyone had clothes on tonight so Andrew was disappointed about that. I do have to say that I really enjoy watching Maks dance. He looks like he is having fun this season and Scary Spice allows him to be in the spotlight much more. I think she is an above average dancer, but it is Maks that makes that couple good. It is very refreshing to see a male professional make it so far since a woman has not won the title since the disputed first season with Kelly Monaco and Mr. Peterman.

I personally think Marie should be the one going home, but I am sure she will get the sympathy vote again tonight due to the death of her father and the tears Donnie was shedding after Marie's first dance. She also played the sympathy card tonight so I am sure she can't go home. I did enjoy the "I'm a little bit country tribute" she did. It reminded me when I would watch Donnie and Marie every Saturday night and the highlight of the night was the "I'm a little bit country/I'm a little bit rock n roll" segment. I was always a big fan of the rock-n-roll tribute, which is pretty funny since I love country music now.

We will see what happens, but my order right now is Helio, Scary, Jennie, Cameron and Marie. Until tomorrow night...
