DWTS - 2nd week

Oh boy, here we go. This is going to be another crappy season. We'll be suffering through some seriously bad dancing. What the hell is wrong with America?!

Nicole the Pussycat Doll is my pick. She can dance! She's not a diva! Derek is her partner! No-brainer! Of course, we know voters are idiots so that won't matter.

Erin the broadcaster is right behind her for the best female. I can't believe Bruno hasn't mentioned her legs. They go on and on, and he's mad for long legs. I don't really expect her to be around for long. She's not famous enough.

Evan the skater is so far the best male. He just needs to get control of his talent and skills.

No other male is impressing me at this point.

Shannen the actress was kicked off. Too bad. She had potential. She definitely wasn't the worst dancer.

Pamela the sex kitten was in the bottom two. WTF??? I guess this proves most of the voters are women. They would hate her. Ok, she's over the top but she doesn't apologize for herself, her choices, or her actions. Girl just wants to have fun and she does. In my humble opinion, that's class. Oh and BTW, she's a pretty good dancer. Hey, Pam, dial down the sex a bit. Give women a reason to like you.

Niecy the comedian. Not funny. She's not a terrible dancer, but not great either. I'm already tired of her weak attempts at comedy relief.

So we have to suffer through more dancing from the worst dancers.

Kate the mom. That's her only claim to fame. She has a pile of kids, put them on TV, and her marital breakup was big news. How stupid. She is a really really bad dancer, and a whiney bitch with no personality. To make her patient partner Tony want to quit proves how insufferable she will be. I did not want to see any more from her. But there she is thanks to all the bleeding-heart housewives out there with texting phones in their hands.

Buzz the astronaut. Ok, I get that he's a hero, but he's too old for this. It's so painful to watch. I give him credit for having personality. Something the other mediocre dancers lack. *Off-topic: Did his wife use the same plastic surgeon as Joan Rivers? They have the same "Joker" face. Creepy.

Chad the football guy. Ugh. Does he ever smile? He's still there only because he's a black sports star. They always hang around too long.

Yeah, it's looking like a pisspoor season for those of us who tune in to see good dancing.

One more note. I was glad to see the end of Samantha Harris as co-host, but Brook Burke is no better. I guess it was the writers' fault after all. Same dull interviewing style. Drew Lachey's short stint as co-host was so much better. He could ad-lib. Oh wait, maybe that's it. He was competition for Tom's ad-libbing.

DWTS

Hey there. Long time no write. Haven't had a rant or anything in a while but now I do.

Dancing With The Stars. Ok, by now you know I love dancing shows. This used to be one of my favs but it is getting rather old. Samo samo ya know. I fear its day has come. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel for sure.

The new dancing cast was announced. Oh yeah real exciting. Well, there are a few interesting possiblities.

Nicole Scherzinger - The Pussycat Dolls front woman. I see her going all the way, she already can dance sexy and she has a personality.

Evan Lysacek - Olympic figure skater. Skaters have proven to have the natural talent and grace to pick up the ballroom dances.

Pamela Anderson - well you know who she is. She'll probably hang around for a while due to her fan base, but I just can't see her as a ballroom dancer. Pole dancer maybe. She and Nicole should draw in the male viewers.

Niecy Nash - Reno 911. I'm not a fan of this show, not my taste in humor, but she might have what it takes.

So what's left?

Kate Gosselin. Oh pulease! Why is this person even famous? It will kill me if her sympathizers keep her around. But that's the way it goes with this show. A better dancer will be voted off.

Shannen Doherty. She's admitted to live stage fright and I'm sure it will show.

Jake Pavelka. A Bachelor. So? I think those "matchmaker" shows are the most stupid waste of air time ever devoted to people desperate to be on tv. And no, I don't watch them. Although...there was that one Bachelor reject who came very close to winning by virtue of her talent for [gasp] dancing.

Buzz Aldrin. The token old person. No one will ever live up to George Hamilton in that catagory.

Some female sportscaster. Pretty, maybe she'll be able to dance, but will anyone care.

Some soap star. They've proven to have a little talent. Except for Susan Lucci.

Some football star. Pffft.

I am so glad to see the end of Samantha Harris as co-host. I love DVR, I could FFWD past her insipid backstage interviews.

BTW, I should mention I don't vote on any of these shows. I just sit back and rag at the stupidity of the ones that do. Hey it costs to vote. Valuable minutes on the cell bill or valuable time on slow dialup.

In other TV talk.

Some of the shows I got into are finally picking up again. After I've completely forgotten what was going on way back before the Xmas season. Sure would be nice if they'd rerun the earlier episodes so we can catch up again by the time the new shows air.

So what, you might wonder, was I watching?

Flash Forward. This is one I'll probably add to my DVD library. Fascinating storyline and characters. Can't wait to see where it goes.

V. Yeah, I'm hooked but it's not library-worthy.

Smallville. Actually on hiatus for I don't know how long. I love how they are bringing the Superman mythology together. My favorite episodes are the ones that tease at the Justice League to come. I also love Clark's dark look in the long leather duster. To this day, I can't get over his resemblance to Christopher Reeves, the most iconic Superman.

Some were cancelled and I'll miss them.

Dollhouse. An awful lot of questions weren't answered.

Warehouse 13. Now this show had a lot of stories to tell!

Sanctuary. I have mixed feeling about this one. It started out really cool with interesting "abnormals" but then sort of fizzled by focusing on the caretakers too much. Some of the more interesting characters were killed off. Come on, give us more of the mythology the show was based on.

All for now.
