Dancing With The Stars Recap

I know, I know...I have been slacking. I did not write about Dancing With The Stars last week, and if you can believe it, I did not even watch it. Tennis gets in the way of a lot of things - and then I lost my match so I was really mad. :)

This week's show was OK, nothing great. After Gilles and Cheryl, there was nothing that was outstanding. Gilles and Cheryl are so far ahead of everyone else. I am not sure what the show can do to bring them back to the pack - given them an occassional 9? They are outstanding and he is smoking hot. I knew he was going to be awesome last night doing the Paso Doble. That was the one dance I was waiting to see from him and he did not disappoint, even though the music they had to dance to was a very difficult selection. And then for him to start the dance with no shirt on...no else had a chance!

Shawn and Mark, my preseason picks, were also very good. She is so beautiful and just seems so much older than 17. I wonder what her mom thinks of those outfits. I am pretty sure that I would not want Reagan to be wearing those outfits at age 17, but then again if she was making $250,000 minimum, I might reconsider. Did you know that for just appearing on the show, you make $250,000? And it only goes up the longer you stay on the show.

It was a tough week for me in the Dancing With The Stars pool. I had a pretty good lead after the first four weeks, but this week will definitely bring me back to the pack as I had Ty and Chelsea and Lawrence and Edyta. I had to use different teams than the big four this week so I thought I would take a chance on these two and it is did not work out. They were both average and should be worried about being sent home. I thought Lawrence would embrace the Paso Doble, but he just is not very good. I am getting the feeling that he is not that dedicated as he shows up to practice in his golf clothes every day. Edyta also looks very crabby this season - although I loved her outfit last night (so did Andrew by the way). I made a mistake on Ty and Chelsea because I was thinking they were going to do the waltz which would be pretty safe for Ty. When I saw they were doing the Paso, I knew I was in deep trouble. He was awful...stiff and extremely rigid. They were lucky to get three 7s. I seriously think these two better look out tonight (although it should be Steve-O to go).

And for the first time, we saw Melissa struggle. I am sure she will bounce back just fine, but they were not very good last night. She made a number of mistakes. Her costume though was awesome...her stomach is amazing.

Lil Kim was good, although I thought she smiled too much when she was dancing. Classic moment though when Kim was talking about her Buddah Board (which is where you paint on the board's special surface with water; the image darkens and then slowly fades away. It is a Zen thing.) and stupid Samantha thought she said voodoo doll. What an idiot. I am sure the producers were just hoping Samantha would shut up. It was pretty embarrassing.

Chuck and Julianne are just so darn cute. She is so perfect - gorgeous, great singer, great dancer, seems to be so nice and has the hottest boyfriend. He is pretty awesome as well. They are almost too perfect.

David Alan Greer better look out too. He was awful last night and he is not very popular. He could be the next victim tonight.

Steve-O needs to go, although Andrew has decided that Lacey is really hot so maybe I need him to stick around so I can watch the show on the big TV. I need all the positives I can find behind so I can continue to watch it downstairs! Lacey does look great this year. She has lost some weight and is really pretty.

Did I miss anyone...if I did that probably means they were not worth mentioning.

p.s. - just a Celebrity Apprentice note, Donald Trump was way out of line the other night when he fired Tionne and Khloe. I think he fired them because they add nothing to the show and they will not generate any ratings for him, but still. The way he talked to them and treated them...inexcusable. I am also really annoyed with all the degrading of women on his part this year. He continually talks about how women look and really has said a number of inappropriate and offensive things. Of course I am still going to watch it as it is the best season yet, but he has made an ass of himself this year.
