Dancing with the Stars Reviewed (Thanks to Twitter)
The 8th season of Dancing with the Stars is here! I don’t normally review the early rounds of DWTS since everyone’s just feeling their way, but NEENZ put a shout out on Twitter so I had to oblige. 😉
Lil’ Kim started watching Dancing with the Stars while in prison. She calls herself a “black Barbie,” dedicates her first dance to “all my girls in the Federal Detention Center,” and cha chas to Janet Jackson’s Nasty. What else can you say? Oh yeah, partner Derek Hough puts Lil’ Kim in the running.
Belinda Carlisle still looks great, and Jonathan Roberts is a classic partner, if not a mango. Enjoy the former Go-Go now before she’s gone gone.
Lawrence Taylor has the NFL pedigree and follows the success of former DWTS footballers. I’m not sold and neither were the judges.
Fresh out of rehab, Steve-O brought some interesting choreography to his waltz with Lacey Schwimmer. Despite his background, he did not make a jackass of himself.
Cheryl Burke is back and has a male hottie in partner Gilles Marini. And Full Frontal can dance!
Chuck Wicks, believe in your girlfriend and partner Julianne Hough. Now it’s okay if Julianne kisses her partner for six seconds without starting rumors.
Replacement Holly Madison is dancing with Michael Phelps?! Oh wait, that’s new pro Dmitry Chaplin. The Playboy Playmate looks good, but this is a dance contest.
Ty Murray is one lucky guy. Yes, he’s an accomplished cowboy and is married to Jewel, but Ty is really lucky that Steve Wozniak is also “dancing” this season.
At 17-years old, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson is the youngest competitor ever and proof that Amazons really do exist. Check out her stature. She can take you out! But she did prove that she is a front runner.
Going back to Steve Wozniak… I really don’t want to but I must. Steve is a genius, not just on the dance floor. I won’t belabor the pain since it’s already been done here and here. Geeks unite!!
David Alan Grier is bizarre. This bit might work on the comedy scene but not in a ballroom dance competition. I think former Fly Girl and now DWTS judge, Carrie Ann Inaba, is going to dish out some In Living Color payback!
Denise Richards is a head case. She’s going to meltdown during the season. Crying might help get the male votes, but the women are gonna hate even more.
My performance of the night goes to really new newcomer, Melissa Rycroft. I don’t watch The Bachelor, but she got screwed over from what I understand. Melissa stepped in for injured Nancy O’Dell and with less than two days to practice, she did great! Tony Dovolani, you pulled it off!
No one will be eliminated this week giving everyone a chance to get in it to win it.
