DANCING WITH THE STARS<\/em>, PART 2<\/h1>\n

Okay, so as promised yesterday, I went back and re-watched the Dancing With The Stars <\/em>season opener. Most of my opinions didn\u2019t change, but there are a lot of observations I didn\u2019t get to note yesterday. So here they are, in, as they say on the results shows of this series, in no particular order:<\/p>\n

BTW–I\u2019m using only first names; it\u2019s much easier that way, especially since I hate typing capitals and long words! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"dancing-with-stars-211\"Nicole had the best dress by far!!! It was gorgeous and elegant, which are both rarities for this show.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness Cheryl stopped rocking that comb-over! She must cringe when she looks at old shows. And while I\u2019m on her, I\u2019m also thrilled that she\u2019s finally wearing rehearsal clothing other than those same two track suits she\u2019s worn for at least the last two seasons.<\/p>\n

The judges screwed Chad (Ochocinco–it\u2019s the only last name I don\u2019t mind, oddly enough.) Big-time. He deserved at least 7s across the board, yet got only 6s.<\/p>\n

Posture–that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been telling everyone for my whole life. Growing-up in Brooklyn, I\u2019ve seen my fair share of slouching. Even though I was a chubby kid, I always got singled out in dance classes for having the best posture, and I always beamed with pride. Now that I\u2019m fully-grown, I always notice everyone\u2019s round shoulders, and even point it out to my good friends, as I ask them to do for me. Only one person has ever listened to me on that topic, and it\u2019s made a world of difference. So, I never understand why these wanna-be dancers don\u2019t improve when they see themselves on TV! Just stand-up straight already!<\/p>\n

Much as I hate to admit it, Evan was the best in the good posture category. I\u2019ve always noticed that about him, and lauded him for it. But did anyone else notice that he was just blank during the whole show? He has no personality whatsoever. He was the only one there who didn\u2019t seem happy for the others.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never seen so many boob jobs in one place! Most of them were way too big, and they all sagged<\/em>! Ugh. Have the costume people never heard of a bra??? (And I\u2019m saying this as the possessor of a big natural chest, so I know the pitfalls, so to speak.)<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe that Evan was the only competitor they ever told to point his toes! His weren\u2019t great, but he was far from the worst. Niecy and Shannen were pitiful in that category. And Joanna, the trampy girl from last season whom no one knew, had feet that were downright comical, while they heaped praise on her constantly. And for the record, Carrie Anne–skaters do<\/em> point their toes, even in their boots. At least, the good ones do.<\/p>\n

The judges were way too mean for Week #1. This isn\u2019t a real competition, for pete\u2019s sake. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this, but I was actually grateful for Carrie Anne the other night! And she was kind-of funny when she imitated Pam\u2019s hair toss.<\/p>\n

Shannen seemed nicer than people think, (I actually know very little about her,) but I hated that phony, \u201cI\u2019m an actor.\u201d You\u2019re an actress<\/em>. And a pretty bad one at that, I\u2019ve heard, so please don\u2019t use that actor<\/em> nonsense on us.<\/p>\n

I love Maks!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

I know that yesterday I pointed-out just how not-good-looking Erin is, but close-up, she does have great teeth and nice eyes. But that voice! Ugh.<\/p>\n

I loved Niecy and Louis\u2019 closing step, where she falls on him backwards. Never seen that before. He\u2019s a brave man.<\/p>\n

Regarding the inane bits the show forces the couples to do before the breaks–most people just aren\u2019t funny, no matter how hard they try, so please stop doing these! They actually make me throw-up in my mouth a little.<\/p>\n

I wish that the skaters and gymnasts who appear on this show would stop making believe they never danced! They all have dance training! The same for music performers. If you\u2019ve done a video, you\u2019ve danced!!!<\/p>\n

Evan has the best posture, spins, and arms, but I was shocked to see how ungraceful his actual feet are! He\u2019s probably never danced with a girl before. Len told him to get chemistry with his partner. I\u2019m biting my tongue on this one. Actually, his partner, Anna\u2019s, husband isn\u2019t exactly a bastion of masculinity either. (BYW–I knew exactly what she meant about when they show the skating scores, they tell the audience what place they\u2019re in \u201cfor now.\u201d That was her point–she and Evan were in first place, but others were to dance, so their lead was only \u201cfor now.\u201d Duh.<\/p>\n

Poor Ashly– this is the third time, out of her four seasons, that she\u2019s gotten stuck with a terrible dancer. The first season was good for her with Joey McIntyre, but then she got Master P and Harry Hamlin. And now 80-year-old Buzz Aldrin. Maybe they figure that since she\u2019s a religious girl, she\u2019ll turn the other cheek, but enough is enough.<\/p>\n

Carrie Anne to Buzz: \u201cMy little moonwalker, so cute.\u201d I don\u2019t think he\u2019s ever been called a cute little moonwalker before! That\u2019s just so weird. What would she say call Albert Einstein? A \u201c cute little relativistic cosmologist?\u201d (Yeah, right–like she even knew who Albert Einstein was!)<\/p>\n

Nicole is the only non-pro who ever almost pointed her toes!!! You go, girl.<\/p>\n

Please tell Bruno to stay seated from now on.<\/p>\n

Hate the new room for the celebs to talk after. It\u2019s just really uncomfortable to watch.<\/p>\n

The new co-host, Brooke somebody, is better than the that awful Samantha Harris for two reasons: 1)anyone would be! And 2) she is basically colorless, so she just stays out of the way. But she, too, says the cringe-worthy \u201cdeensing,\u201d rather than the correct \u201cdancing,\u201d which just sounds so low-class.<\/p>\n

Love that guy Aiden\u2019s voice. (Yes, he\u2019s one of the \u201cstars,\u201d though no one knows who he is.) He should do voice-overs. He\u2019d win in a \u201clistening to the stars\u201d competition. But what was up with the crotch on his dancing pants? It came down to his mid-thigh! And I\u2019m not saying this in a \u201chubba-hubba\u201d manner; it\u2019s more like an \u201cugh-ugh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did I mention yesterday that I like Pam? I think she\u2019 nice enough, and entertaining, and that she\u2019s just being herself. And she toe-points and has good legs. But that rat\u2019s nest \u2019do has got to go!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never seen this Kate woman before, so I didn\u2019t hate her like the rest of the population seems to, so just judging from this one show, she seems somewhat creepy and I hate her voice. She actually \u201cdances\u201d worse than Buzz. Heck, she\u2019s worse than Elaine on Seinfeld!!! I don\u2019t get it–she\u2019s famous for having lots of kids? What is this world coming to??? Mr. X said, \u201cWhat\u2019s next year? Octomom?\u201d Let\u2019s not give the producers any more bad ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
