The stars thought they had it hard until now. But at this point in the competition, they are responsible for two dances a night. Of course, tonight the second dance is just the 60’s themed group dance. (Just, he says. As if he ever had to do it. And yes, Mark is now referring to himself in the third person. At least until this paragraph ends.)

And we can’t forget that the stars actually designed the costumes this week. So far, I don’t notice too much out of the ordinary except for Edyta. She is wearing a fur collar coat or something else equally funny. I may not be able to stop laughing when it comes their turn to dance.Read More »Dancing with the Stars 8-7: Big Group Number Time

I hope you had a good Easter weekend. I’m finally back in town after extended time with family. That means I will be cramming both nights of dancing into one post. Hang on, this is going to be fun.Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week Six All in One

It’s that time again – reckoning time for one star who can’t keep up with the competition. Who will it be? We’ll find out soon enough.

And if the first few moments are any indication, I am going to be proved wrong time and time again. Read More »Dancing with the Stars: 8-5 Results

With two stars eliminated last week, we are down to 9 stars and an hour and a half. My DVR can catch a bit of a break on Monday nights. But we still have a long ways to go, so let’s get down to tonight’s action.

I do find it funny we are doing the Viennese Waltz since we did a regular Waltz in week one. I’m a little unclear about the differences between the two, so that’s part of why it seems funny to me. But, since they didn’t consult me, I guess we’ll just take what they give us.Read More »Dancing with the Stars 8-5: Viennese Waltz and Paso Doble

The time has come for the dreaded double elimination. Shall we see how it all plays out?

Once again, they are throwing two brand new dances into the mix. This week, we’ve got the Lindy Hop and the Argentine Tango. This should challenge not only the stars but the professionals. Plus they can do lifts. I know I’ll really enjoy the Lindy Hop since it’s another high energy swing type dance, and you know how much I love those. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out.Read More »Dancing with the Stars 8-4: Argentine Tango and Lindy Hop

So, I’m still curious to see how the dance off will be changing things if at all. I really wish they’d tell us how close the couples who were saved were so we had some idea how the fans are voting. Oh, I know why they will never do it – potential manipulation. They never told us before, for that matter. But the numbers geek in me still wants to know.

Meanwhile, this week, we will see the dances from last night again tonight for the dance off. And it appears I was right – an encore wasn’t even mentioned. So instead of the best, we’ll be seeing the worst dance again each week.Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week 8-3 Results
