Hey folks...sorry for the delay in my review. I did watch it on Monday but I was soooo tired and there was nothing really too exciting that happened other than Tom DeLay, Kelly Osborne, and Mark the Food Network guy...having some near and real falls. That of course was most exciting for me.
I'm gonna go quick...so try and stay with me...think of it as a QUICK STEP type of review.
I don't get the whole muppets thing...in fact, I thought that was stupid. I guess I'm not the biggest muppets fan---however Karrrria calling herself Miss Piggy was a true delight---hearing that kiss ass Samantha say..."oh no never...I would never call you that"--made me throw up in my mouth a little.
Maks is still a jerk during rehearsals and well...I loved it. I know he would never talk to me like that because I'd give him a titty twister if he did. (I might give him one anyway--ha ha) No seriously...he can get a tad intense but hey...it is what it is...
That "model" Joanna...who by the way, I've never heard of before--CAN and SHOULD take out her "Invisalign" retainer/braces thinga-ma-jig during the one on one interviews. It's extremely distracting---and please don't tell me you never noticed. She doesn't wear it during performances just rehearsals (which is okay---but when you're on the camera talking to the audience about nothing but yourself---please take it out!) oh oh oh and how can I go on without saying how ANNOYING Derrick is this season. My goodness. He's a total spaz. Oh that Derrick and his wild hair and antics. GRRRRRR
I can't believe I'm gonna say this but Donny grew on me this week. He's not really quite as annoying as his sister so I might have to retract my Donnoy nickname...key word is MIGHT. I'll have to wait and see for now.
Aaron Carter still acts ghetto...that's getting just a tad old.
Umpa-louie-pa is so cute. I really like his little smile and the partnership he has with Chelsea. I hope they last a little while. Call me Len-da but he could use a hair makeover. BIG TIME.
Tom DeLay, Kathy Ireland, and the football dude and his ZERO personality professional partner can go, too!
Mya is doing hella good. I like Dmitry. So...good work.
Kelly---quit your crying..it's way too early for the waterworks.
Melissa Joan Hart...I think she put on her grandma's dentures...what's up with her teeth??
I missed Len.
Bruno needs to take a seat and stop standing for his critique...seriously...JUST SIT DOWN.
As for the results show...didn't watch much of it at all...a lot of forwarding. BUT---I was extremely nervous for my Thebi and Makth. I'm glad they made it. However, I think I need to start voting cause it's not looking good for him---excuse me...them.
Oh and don't forget to vote for the whole "Create the Dance" thing they've got going on...this week we select the celebrity we want to come back and dance. I am voting for Mel B!!!!
Well, folks...that's it for this week.
I'm perfecting my "Karrrina" for a future video...stay tuned.
Keep dancing---

Season 9 First 2 eliminations!!
The ones that have departed were right on. No surprises there. As much as I wanted Macy Gray to hang on a few more weeks to see her try and attempt a lift...that dream was squashed. However, I felt surprisingly very sorry for her. She looked devastated. I was expecting tears would come rushing out any minute. In fact, the other "stars" saw it, too. You might have noticed them buzzing in the background (and yes...I read lips...so I literally saw, "I feel so bad for her")
Anyway, she and Ashley took the defeat well and moved on.
How funny was the Adam Corolla bit?? I know a certain someone who was in heaven at that very moment. So for you Monica...He was outstanding. I laughed out loud at the, "Donny...you're 51 years old. When can we start calling you Don?" I loved it!
A little bit of funny trivia that some of you probably don't know. I got an email about 2 weeks ago asking me if I want to participate in the live audience for the taping of the Lion King performance we saw last night. The fine print in this email said, none of the stars of DWTS will be there---no judges, pros, hosts...anyone. It's just a special recording for a Macy's Lion King performance. Well, last night...they would have the viewers believe that the Lion King performance was live. Well, it wasn't. In fact, it was a completely different audience than the one that was at last night's elimination show. So, the funny part is, after the performance (by the way...it was awesome and trust me the entire production is worth seeing) but anyway...after the performance and the return back from commercial. Tom Bergeron says, "You should have seen the smile on Tom DeLay's face when that giant elephant came down the steps..." The woman in the audience behind Tom Bergeron had this look of absolute confusion...like.."huh??? what?? what elephant?? I didn't see an elephant???" It was priceless because of course you didn't...don't worry lady...you haven't lost your marbles. It never happened!!! Anyway, it cracked me up. Sneaky little producers...
And finally...was anyone else emotional over the tribute to Patrick Swayze??? I loved it. It's performances like that, that make me appreciate the beauty of dance and how it can really speak volumes!
Well...week one is done and I'm pooped.
Keep Dancing..

Season 9 Premiere--night 2- The ladies
Ladies and Gentlemen a travesty has occurred. The first time in 9 seasons, my tivo malfunctioned and didn't record. YES, it's true. I couldn't believe it! I think I'm being punished for my droolfest over Maks the other day. I got home late last night and I decided to start watching the show at 9:30pm. When I noticed it had not recorded, I was extremely bummed, but I realized I had tuned in precisely at the moment of the relays. So...like a true champ, I got over it and got to work. (I'm sure I'll catch what I missed tonight...on the 4 hour recap show!!!)
Let's just say that the last 30 minutes was all I needed to see.
The first dance---The foxtrot.
I think that Thebi Mathar and Makth are thoing very wellth. Ith isth a thrue pleathure to wath them performth. (that lisp however hath got to go!)
I really do think she's got talent and if she can get some fans and lose that lisp...they might be okay. My favorite part was when Thebi Mathar said, "I loved being elegant and laying on Maks" and for the first time in DWTS history Samantha made a funny!!! She said, "I think there are many women out there who would love to lay on...nevermind...I'll leave that one alone" I'm impressed...truly impressed.
I can't stand that model Joanna. I gather she did well last night cause the judges just kept going on and on about her...well...let me tell you all something. If you didn't watch the show SuperStars (FYI--Maks won!) you didn't get the chance to see what a poor sport she is. She is very competitive and when something doesn't go her way she flips on the "witch" switch. Just wait until she has a bad night and the judges get a little harder on her...you'll see a side of her that you might be surprised about. AND of course she'd be paired with Derrick of all people. I'm thrilled because WHEN-- not IF--- but WHEN they do get eliminated...2 people that I don't like will be gone. I wait patiently for that day!
Kathy Ireland should just go home now. She's gorgeous but can't move...and she can't seem to fit in the camera shot---so adios sista!
The swimmer...ahhh...nothing to get excited about.
The second dance--The Cha Cha
Oh dear...Macy Gray. My goodness. There are just no words. NONE. Okay, there might be some. It looks like Macy got an anvil dropped on her head and she's still woozy from the crash!! I mean she's ready to hit the floor at any moment. You know like she just got off those horrible spin you round and round carnival rides and is trying to regain her balance. She's higher than a kite! I really need her to stay around a lot more cause I'm busting up watching her! BUSTING UP!
Sabrina the teenage witch-- did pretty good. I'll have to wait and a see a little more with her.
Mya--Shmya...I don't see why everyone was soooo excited about her.
The most surprising for me was of course Kelly Osborne. She did great and she truly looks like she's been dreaming of being a contestant on this show. She's loving this! and guess what...I love it, too. I'm really rooting for her to stick around a while. She also was very gracious backstage and eloquent in her answer to Samantha (who I still think will reveal she's pregnant this season!).
Finally, the last thing I want to bring up is something that I really should have discussed yesterday. What's the deal with Marie (Kill me now) Osmond and Jermaine Jackson sitting together?? And more importantly why do they insist on showing Marie before and after every commercial break. Geez Louise...
Well folks...I think the double elimination will include Tom and Kathy.
Let's just say that the last 30 minutes was all I needed to see.

Season Nine Premiere--(night 1 of 3)
Welcome back my fine friends!!! Season 9 is here and of course ABC is gonna drag this out for 3 nights. Oh brother. Here is a thought--how about we don't start with 40 couples off the bat? hmmmm??? If we started with 10 couples we could probably get to every couple and still finish in 1 hour. I love this show but 2 hours for 3 nights???...is just darn ridiculous.
But anyway...when I heard that the women and Macy Gray (I'm not quite certain she's a woman yet) would be dancing Tuesday night, I almost turned the TV off. If Maks is not performing then I might as well call it a night--so with eyes rolling, some grumbling under my breath and while reaching for the remote to hit the OFF button--- I hear the music, I see the flashing lights and of course they hooked me in. More specifically..I saw that my precious Maksy and his back up dancers were descending to that shiny dance floor---My heart started beating and my eyes were fixed on him. No need for the remote except for maybe to hit pause on guess who??---(okay Linda...wipe the drool and move on already. You'll have to excuse me...he is single again. Who didn't see that coming??)
General Observations:
1. Is Samantha pregnant?? Never in my life have I wanted to hear that announcement made about someone. Just think of it...Samantha pregnant=MATERNITY LEAVE which in turn = a very nice break for the viewers.
2. Do any of you have any idea how much joy it brought me to see Cheryl paired with Tom?? Hysterical. She needed a good kick off her pedestal from last seasons very touchy grabby love fest with the gypsy Gilles. Take that you hussy!
3. Good grief Kathy Ireland...could you move any slower coming down those stairs? Was she using a cane? I know the stairs have proven to be slippery but come on! I'm aging here!
4. I can't stand that so-called model Joanna. Probably because she looks like Karrrrrina! Both trash.
5. Macy Gray---tame the Afro baby...I can't see your partner (oh who cares...it's only Jonathan). I can't wait to see her perform. If it's anything like her singing performances...we're in for a treat! A real treat!
6. Nice dye job Bruno...I believe you are more of a walnut dream rather than blackest black.
Now on to the dancers.
1. Aaron and Karina-
Okay Aaron..newsflash...you're white!
You had a hit record at 8 years old? Really? I highly doubt that! Your only real claim to fame is being one of the Backstreet Boys' kid brother. Get over yourself. Antother thing what's with Carrie Ann saying , "My, my Aaron...you're all grown up" Hands off you cougar---I don't think he's legal yet. And finally... Any moron that calls Karina a hottie or an ideal coach because she's beautiful---is officially on my "You disgust me list"
2. Anna and Chuck-
I just want to say that I'm pretty certain he was picturing Anna as that big blue punching bag he uses during workouts. Because while dancing he tried his little heart out to smile but instead just looked constipated. A real pity. And it didn't appear that Anna appreciated the very poetic Samantha calling her a "thing"--She's still the idiot I remember.
3. Edyta and Ashley-
He's a comedian? Yeah...sure. and I'm a politician! Boy oh boy did Orange Hamilton look bad or what? I didn't think it was possible to get more orange but some how he managed. Keep it up and you'll lose that signature mole of yours. Anyway...it's pure music to my ears, hearing Edyta say, "Pooosh poosh"-- that accent kills me every time! I'm a tad surprised he got a 4 and Mo"huck" Chuck got a 6. Come on!
4. Donny and Kym--
One word---ANNOYING! That fool manages to annoy me the first second he's on. He gets no "puppy love" from me. His new name is Donnoy---cause he Donnoys the crap out of me! Already with the shenanigans---running across the floor, making those stupid "performance faces"--Get ready folks...we're in for a very very long season! I do love that the judges called him out on being a little too "showy"---a little? Paahlese! Oh and I get it...Marie is gonna be in the audience...no need to show her every 2 minutes.
5. Louie and Chelsea-
Holy moly---Willy Wonka's umpalumpas called and want to know when you'll be back at the candy factory??? (I know that was mean...but something is just not right there!) And if you had any doubt about what's really going on there...his circus tricks proved it!.. Yes, I'm mean...but who cares, you guys all eat it up. I say the things you'd never say yourselves, right?...Bruno HOWEVER--has no right to call him "a cute dancing hobbit"---Oh really...now there is the smurf calling the hobbit short...At least Umpa"louie"mpa is cute and clever...unlike you...
6. Michael and newbie Anna-
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
7. Tom and Cheryl-
Pure joy...it's just so fitting that she get paired with him. I love my little conservatives!
8. Mark and Lacey-
I literally almost forgot them. So that shows you I'm not very interested in these two. Lacey the self proclaimed rebel looked a little thick to me (sorry but had to say it) and finally when Carrie Ann said she's happy that the Asians are being represented...I practically puked. Uhhhh hello...what about Kristi Yamaguchi???You weren't so thrilled then. What? You're only happy when the MALE asians represent? How about I Kung Fu fight your face in!
Dancing Relays...
Just make the show 1 hr and 30 min.---okay???
Looking forward to Maks...errr...I mean the ladies dancing tonight. Until then...
Keep Dancing.
