So...thankfully... not so much ... I am not sure what I think ... I'm tired ... Reagan woke me up last night at 2:00 a.m. - just in time to watch Dancing With The Stars if I wanted to since it was preempted by the Vikings game (they had no business winning that game). Of course, Reagan went back to bed right away (in my spot naturally), but I was then up for the day, and relegated to the couch, so I had no choice but to watch. Right?
Overall, it was a good show. I thought everyone was good except Susan and Cloris. Really, Cloris has got to go. She actually lost her wig last night and it was just an embarassment all the way around. The choerography was bad and the dancing worse. I am tired of her act. ABC...it is time.
Of course, she is going to stick around since I am guessing they will not kick anyone off the show tonight after the loss of Misty May-Treanor to a ruptured achilles tendon (more on this later). What I would like to see is the show actually eliminate someone tonight (Cloris) and then decide that one night is a surprise non-elimination night - like they do on the Amazing Race.
Here is a quick summary of the show since I can hardly keep my eyes open right now!
Susan was first - not a good night for her. She did the jive and it just does not suit her. She looked old and frail. I thought they had learned their lesson the first week. The costume was not flattering for her and her heels were 6 inches high. How can anyone dance in those, especially when you are only 4-11?
Next were Lance and Lacey - they were fine. They did a waltz and stayed reserved. Actually the judges, except Len, told them they were boring because of it. They have really come back to the field in the last two weeks. They looked like sure-bets for the championship, but Brooke and Warren have easily passed them.
I cannot remember the exact order of who was next so I am just going to randomly comment.
Karina and Rocco were boring - they will be going home soon.
Warren and Kym were really good. Warren did a waltz and performed it great for a 300 pound man. They are definitely one of the couples to beat. They got one 9 and two 8s. Good for them. I am still shocked that Warren is so good.
Toni and Alec were different, but I really did not like it. Toni also did not play to her strength which is her incredible body as she wore a Marie Antoinette costume that weighed 22 pounds and did not show any skin.
Cody and Julianne started hot, but faded fast in the middle. Him using her leg as a guitar, not once, but twice in the dance was ridiculous. There is no way he is going home though because his Hannah costar Miley Cyrus pledged on camera last night that she was going to come to the ballroom and watch him. They would never give up those kinds of ratings, especially since this is a pretty boring year for the show.
Maurice and Cheryl were the surprise of the night and I thought they did the second best dance of the evening. The jive is definitely Maurice's thing and Cheryl looks like she has lost some of that offseason weight.
Brooke and Derek were awesome and made me cry. The song they danced to was so sweet and then to have Brooke kiss her daughter at the end was really awesome. I was also glad that Brooke stood up to Derek and told him to stop being such a jerk. I hate him and I think he is an arrogant little $^#*$% (family blog, Lisa). Anyway...I am glad she stood up to him and hopefully he will start respecting her a little bit.
Of course they saved Misty and Maks until the end. They showed her getting injured. The pop of her leg was so loud and horrible. I could not get over how loud it was. She even thought she had hit the step with her foot instead of suffering such a gruesome injury. Misty was right on when she said the women would not be happy because they would not get to see Maks anymore. I think she was talking directly to me at 4 a.m. It was sad and Maks was pretty emotional too. Honestly, if she comes back from her injury, I hope that they offer her and Maks a chance to compete next season.
It was a good night (or morning in my case) for the show. We will see who gets the boot tonight. I hope it is Cloris!
