Dancing with the Stars: Season 12 Preview

The Dancing with the Stars Season 12 premiere is just over a week away, and I don’t know about you, but I got pretty excited when I saw this year’s cast announcement. While there’s an unfortunate lack of Olympians, there are also no political figures, soap stars, or token oldies. Which means … maybe this season will actually focus on the dancing? Or maybe that’s too much to hope. Either way, let’s take a look at the new cast and make some early predictions:

Chelsea Kane
Partner: Mark Ballas
You Know Her Because: She was in Jonas, Jonas L.A., and various Disney Channel movies
Mirrorball Potential: High. Disney Channel stars have a solid track record on this show (case in point: Monique Coleman, Cody Linley, Kyle Massey, Sabrina Bryan), and I think Chelsea will be no exception. She’s young, she’s pretty, she has the right partner – if she can dance, it should be smooth sailing to the top.

Chris Jericho
Partner: Cheryl Burke
You Know Him Because: He’s a six-time world champion wrestler, host of ABC’s Downfall, and contributor to various VH1 shows.
Mirrorball Potential: Debatable. Big guys are usually lacking in the grace department, but Chris’s charm may take him further than expected.

Hines Ward and the rest of the cast below the jump:

No Ordinary Family 1-17: No Ordinary Love

It’s interesting that we still don’t know much about what Dr. King is up to because this episode introduced a new villain. I already knew she’d be around for multiple episodes, and she is obviously going to make life interesting.

This episode? Well, it seems like it was supposed to introduce her, but it did feel like it was a little light.

Let’s get some of the sub-plots out of the way first, shall we?Read More »No Ordinary Family 1-17: No Ordinary Love

No Ordinary Family 1-16: No Ordinary Proposal

What do you know, two good episodes of the show back to back. They dealt with a plot thread they left hanging months ago. And it really feels like they are building toward something.

It all starts with a proposal. Read More »No Ordinary Family 1-16: No Ordinary Proposal

No Ordinary Family 1-15: No Ordinary Powell

Okay, so you know how I’ve been complaining about how this show isn’t really moving forward, how they take baby steps forward and then ignore them the next week? Well, that definitely changed tonight. Holy cow was that a great episode!

We do start with one of my least favorite storytelling techniques. It’s night, and Stephanie is coming home from work. She walks in the door to find Jim lying on the floor dead.

And we flash back 12 hours to the start of the story. You know, I’ve never found a case where we truly needed that flash back to get engrossed in the story. But lots of people seem to think it needs to be done. Heck, they used to do it on Alias all the time, and I still loved that show.

But moving on…Read More »No Ordinary Family 1-15: No Ordinary Powell

No Ordinary Family 1-14: No Ordinary Double Standard

This is a hard episode to recap. I feel like something significant happened tonight. But, frankly, I’m a little hesitant to hope that’s the case since they seem to follow up on things so slowly if at all in this show.

So let’s start with the kids. Read More »No Ordinary Family 1-14: No Ordinary Double Standard

No Ordinary Family 1-13: No Ordinary Detention

Feeling trapped? Okay, so I’m not either, but the Powells managed to find themselves in three different lock down type situations. (Okay, so I’m stretching here with the kids. Just work with me.)

After an opening scene where the family is too busy for breakfast, they agree to eat dinner together that night and go on their ways. Who knew what an eventful day each of them would have.Read More »No Ordinary Family 1-13: No Ordinary Detention
