Dancing with the Stars....and dancers soon to be the pros on that show...

So I only watched a brief amount of Monday's show when the men danced...however, I did watch all of the women's show on Tuesday.  I didn't watch the results show...'cause I don't need to waste that kind of time when there is so many better shows on.  However...I can report (fans already know this) that Ashley Hamilton and Macy Gray got the boot.  I saw a brief bit of Ashley and he was just STIFF...but Macy, well, she plain sucked.  I will tell you who surprised me....Kelly Osborne.  I wasn't as blown over as the judges, but I thought she did a really good job. Other then that, there are way too many people to keep track of...

Guy in the freaky pants...I can't tell if he is good...so a contemporary dancer for sure...but I didn't see anything "techniqy" that says he is good.  Interesting...he is going straight to Vegas

Cornrow dude...also straight to Vegas after his impressive display of...I don't even know what to call that arm body around the back thing...pretty sure he will fail in all other genres...but his try-out was cool!

Ice cream girl...pretty sure she'll make it if we see all this info about her. Her strength and control remind me of Jeanine. And decent chorography...to a GREAT song! I like her! What? choreography...whatever...

Mr. 6'8'' is TALL...and going on to choreography....it would be funny to see him do hip hop! But, alas...not this year...we will see ice cream girl though!

The old guy...why do they even let these people on the stage...if he is too old, he's too old...don't waste our time!

K'bez...I love when people have nicknames and put them as part of their "names"...what? Do you want to be an ultimate fighter? Dancers shouldn't have nicknames...I don't care how HARD you think you are...Tyce was HARD on him...kinda funny! 

Final choreography...K'bez is a winner along with "mr. Sexy"...next week...Atlanta...see you then...

WARM UP THE DVR!

One good thing about the end of summer is that many of our favorite shows will be back on in no time. Here's when they are scheduled to air:

September 9th:
So You Think You Can Dance
America's Next Top Model
(Both have extended first episodes)

September 15th
The Biggest Loser

September 17th
Survivor
Some of aren't lovin' this show, but I do. It's set in Samoa this time.

September 21st
Dancing with the Stars
Not usually my favorite show, but this season they have Donny Osmond and Kelly Osborn dancing. Too bad not together :) Oh, and Macy Grey will dance. Hopefully they'll get her to sing as well!

September 27th
The Amazing Race

American Idol seems like it won't be here until forever. January 2010. But since we lose Paula, who's complaining???

And the winner is....

Is it okay that I got teary-eyed...seriously...I did!

She was my favorite to watch during the Olympics...she is the cutest thing ever!  And I am soooo proud of her...that's all I can say!

Congrats Shawn!  This was the best "winner" ever!

another one bites the dust...

...and he wasn't even riding a bull!

Farwell Ty...I will not miss your stiffnes...but I will miss little Chelsea Hightower...my favorite from SYTYCD...have I mentioned she was robbed?

This "celebrity" has danced her final dance...

Good job Lil' Kim for making it this far...

I'm just glad we never saw any pasties during your time on Dancing...

I missed it again...

Well, most of it.  Why I can't remember that it is on at 7pm on Mondays I will never figure out. But, I did get to see the "practice" routine of Melissa and the 2 group numbers.  I am totally bummed about Melissa not being able to perform.  I have missed her performances pretty much every time I have even caught part of the show...so needless to say, I finally turn it on time for her and am disappointed again because she isn't even there.  I hope America gets a voting on her.  I really hope Lil Kim gets sent home this week...or that Hough chic and her boyfriend.  Luckily, I will be with Nana T next Monday and she won't let me miss it...as we find out our final 4!  Can't wait!

My thoughts on Dancing...

I don't watch this show but maybe twice during each season...I love dancing...I love watching dancers...but ballroom is not my fav...for you "Dance" fans...you are fully aware that it is hip hop that I LOVE!  But anyway...I don't make the time for those dancing "stars"...however, this year I did want to...I just always forget about it.  Which makes me sad, because so many people I love to see are on.  The professionals (all straight from "Dance")...Lacey and Chelsea.  And some fantastic stars...cutey little gymnast Shawn Johnson, Lil Kim (awesome that she is paired with an LDS kid), and my fav...bachelor star Melissa (kinda glad she got dumped and rid of the silly Jason). 

I watched this past Monday...and how fun is it to watch cute little Chelsea Hightower...or spunky little Shawn Johnson.  I will probably have to set my tivo to catch the last few weeks...I'm just torn as to who I really favor.  I think my top picks are Shawn and Melissa.  But then again...it would be fun for Chelsea to be the professional that wins since she totally got robbed on "Dance".  The only pair that I would like to see go and NOT win....Julianne and Chuck.  Kinda feel like that whole pairing was Julianne saying...hey, I'm a country singer now and my boyfriend is a country singer and therefore a "star"...so maybe you all should let us dance together....bleh!

So there it stands...I like so many that are on the show still, so I will have to make a little more room in my tv watching schedule...

Dance Dance Baby

Seriously, someone needs to write about Dancing With the Stars. I am not sure who is watching this season, but with the various people on the show, how can you not watch?

First the stars:

“Our favorite local girl” Julianne Hough is dancing with her real-life boyfriend.
Julianne’s brother, and last season’s winner, Derek Hough is dancing again this year. His partner is Lil’ Kim, but don’t hold that against him.
Lacie Schwimmer, “the bad girl of the ballroom” is back…and her partner is STEVE O, of Jackass fame.
As if those professionals were not enough to cheer for, they’ve added another local girl (from Orem): Chelsie Hightower, from last season’s So You Think You Can Dance.

Among the “stars” dancing this season:
Belinda Carlisle…of the GoGos…is strutting out.
Shawn Johnson, 17 years old and an Olympic Gold Medalist, is showing strong in the first episodes.
Holly Madison, Hugh Heffiner's Ex-girlfriend is showing she really is all looks.
Jewel and her husband, rodeo star Ty Murry , were both to dance, but someone damaged the family Jewel and so Mr. Murry is dancing alone.
But in Jewel’s spot is jilted Bachelorette Melissa Rycroft. She didn’t need stinky Bachelor Jason anyway, apparently.
There’s also “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated”. I only threw that one out there for Joel McHale, and my SOUP friends.

So is anyone watching this? It's too early to have favorites, I think, but what are you thoughts?

Ding dong....is gone!

Woohoo...Kim Kardashian was sent a packin' on the kick-off show of Dancing with the Stars tonight...I am so glad.  I had to watch last night to see how awful she was.  I really don't think she knows how to move her hips at all...She just awkwardly stood there throughout!  She is NOT a dancer!  I also caught Lacey and Lance...I was so excited about her being on the show...but I hate to admit...I don't think they did all that great.  I was very disappointed and may have to watch now to see how things continue to go!

DWTS...Dancing with the stars

I wasn't able to watch the show tonight due to 2 other shows on at the same time (yes I have to share my DVR with D)...So I had to look up the results...and sadly? Al Bundy was eliminated...Don't be too sad....I'm sure he is still working...some where!  But Dang it!  That stupid Kim is still on the show!  Maybe next week!

So they think they can dance...stick to TV, or whatever it is you do!

I will admit.....I watch a lot of reality tv...but it is so difficult to watch it all during the fall when "real" shows are on.  Keeping that in mind...I have never been a fan, or haven't had time to be a fan of dancing with the stars.  Besides, there are so many people right now that it just is way to long of a show.  All those excuses aside, I did watch the last 15 minutes of the show last night.  Now I realize that I missed the opening night, and was not able to see everyone's performances prior to the "kick-off"...however, why in the world is Kim Kardashian on this show...good night she is bad.  I was soooo disappointed that she was not eliminated.  I was even more disappointed after watching her perform to "Baby got back"....oh my goodness that girl cannot dance.  She was completely awkward and I was just so embarrassed for her.  The thing that made me laugh the hardest was the very beginning when she was supposed to shake what her momma gave her "beyonce" style.  She was shaking a little....but really, her partner, was moving his hands twice as fast on the sides of her booty to make it appear that she could actually shake it.  She was sooooo stiff.  D said it looked like the guy was just jiggling her fat...Awesome!  Anyway...hopefully she will go soon.  Even more hopefully, Joel Mccale (the soup) will totally trash her this friday on his show.

I am sure that I will tune in on occasion to see who is still in the running.  Just from the recaps I see a handful of people who will be going home shortly...I don't really see a ringer like yamaguchi from last year.

Oh my goodness...I got so side tracked about freakin' Kim K that I forgot to state my most happy news that will actually keep me tuning in more often then normal.  The one and only Lacey from SYTYCD (last year placed 4th...my personal fav all year) is one of the "professionals"  and she is dancing with none other the Lance Bass (astronaut...I mean former n'sync member)  I am hopeful with his background of "dancing" they will go far!!!  Yeah Lacey!
