Five years. 1000 dances. 121 stars. 200 episodes. Dancing with the Stars has come a long way since it started, and it was an anniversary (Milestone? What do you call a “200th episode”?) celebration worth watching. The show opened with a routine featuring all the… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week 7 Performances

Last night, DWTS redefined rock (rock = shiny clothes) and tonight, one of our stars will be kicked off the tour bus. The leaderboard got rocked like a hurricane, and the night’s lowest scoring couples were Bristol/Mark, Kurt/Anna, and – gasp – Jennifer/Derek. Of those three, Kurt/Anna and Bristol/Mark were safe, leaving Jennifer and Derek in jeopardy. Tonight’s results are going to be interesting.

More surprises – Bristol and Mark were given the encore this week. Fine with me – I didn’t get a chance to appropriately admire Mark’s footwear last night. Purple shoes – not just for Grimace anymore.

Heart was the first musical guest of the evening, providing a rare moment of genuine rock in this Rock Week. For reals – someone threw a microphone stand and it rolled around while the professionals were trying to dance. I hope the Wilson sisters trashed the dressing rooms.

Another round of results – Rick/Cheryl were safe, and Kyle/Lacey were in jeopardy (nooooo).

Since it is Rock Week, it was only fitting to have a montage called Actual Rock Stars Discuss Ballroom Dancing. Yes, ballroom dancing is exactly like being a rock star.

Whatever happened to just plain ol’ “Dance Week”? And really, how “rock” can… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week 6 Performances

After last night’s sillies, complete with TV theme songs and gorilla suits, I was dying to see which couple would be cancelled like an NBC show tonight. And very quickly, America’s favorite (and lowest scoring) couple Kyle/Lacey was sent to safety, along with …. Bristol… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week Five Results

When I heard it was going to be TV Theme week, only one thing came to mind: please let someone do Darkwing Duck. Alas, that wish would go unfulfilled, but there was plenty else to keep me occupied: (Also, why don’t TV shows have proper… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week Five Performances

Last night’s show was a whole new party – a circular stage, an acoustic sound, and an unfortunate Situation. And after a night of mostly solid performances, suspense was in the air as the ballroom readied itself to devour another couple. The top three scoring… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week 4 Results

Alright dance fans, I hope you fixed yourself a drink. It’s Argentine Tango and Rumba night, and things are about to get steamy. Or awkward. Probably a little of both. And, for the first time, the judges will give out two sets of scores –… Read More »Dancing with the Stars: Week 4 Performances
