Let's face it, they use the term Dancing with the "Stars" rather loosely, don't they? Did you see last night's new kickoff to the season?
There was no Len. I am sorry, but I love Len. He is the grumpy dad who keeps everyone else in line and at least the slightest hint that this is about talent and improvement and not just a popularity show. I am skeptical about how this season will go without him.
But there was a Gary Busey. Holy cow! You just know that people are going to vote to keep him around a while for the sheer entertainment value of watching a train wreck in slow motion. His poor dance partner. Lawzy, do I feel bad for her.
And speaking of oh-my-god-what-were-they-thinking casting, did you see Paula Deen? Good lord. She was awful. She also managed to be disgusting by shoving her partner's face into her bosom several times, belching loudly and talking about how her white undies were no longer white. Now who wanted that mental image? And who can't get rid of that image?
The ones who shone and looked like they were enjoying themselves were Crocodile Hunter Daughter Bindi Irwin and Nick Carter of BSB fame.
And for some reason they have a married couple on and had them compete back to back and wait to get their scores at the same time. We get it. It's a competition. We get it. They are married and won't it be great fun to watch the sparks fly while the producers create drama and friction between the duo. I just don't think it's going to be as much fun as the DWTS people think it will.
Did you watch? Do you care about this competition any more?
I agree. Most of these people I would not call a star. Seems every year they get someone on who is controversial, sick and may be dying, or just are never going to be any kind of dancer. I stopped a couple of years ago and got back hours of time for something more entertaining. I hated how they dragged out the show too. Cheryl
