Dancing With The Stars — Page 11

I've learned to not take the judges really really seriously all the time. I swear, they just seem to choose what they like from week to week, regardless of how bad something seemed.

After tonight's episode, I definitely would rather have Lance in the finals than Cody. Sorry Julianne! The only dance he has done this season that I really really liked was the Jitterbug. He is also very annoying and I feel like I want to punch him in the face anytime that he speaks.

I couldn't stay up and watch last night.........and I forgot to tivo. How was it?

Oh, and Mitzi Gaynor was in the audience. The show drives me crazy. They are always showing someone who I recognize, and nine times out of ten, I get who it is; but, last night, they showed a couple of guys who were driving my wife and I crazy! If anyone has the show, who is the guy with the dark hair, sitting behing Lance's father? Also, the guy to his left? And, who is the guy sitting with Stacy Keibler?

No. I know him when I see him. Anyway, it just dawned on me who the two guys sitting behing Lance's father and grandfather were. I don't know their names, but they are both on Days of Our Lives. One of them is Bo and Hope's son, and the other is that Brit-guy that likes Sammy. At least he used to. That just leaves whoever was sitting next to Stacy.

No, not a former contestant. Some Z-List celeb who's not famous enough to be on DWTS.

SPOILER










Cody.

The results show was only an hour. The first hour was a recap of last night's dances.

I didn't get to see the show last night, so I appreciated the recap tonight. What on earth were Cody and Julianne doing in those military costumes? That was horrendous! I wasn't surprised in the least that they were axed.

Warren is not a great "dancer," but as the judges all agree, he is a true "entertainer." If I wanted to see top-notch ballroom dancers, I'd watch those ballroom dancing competitions, but know what? I hate that crap! I watch DWTS because it's amusing or even, as in last season with Marlee Matlin, occasionally touching. But that's because the non-dancers ARE non-dancers.

Ballroom dancing is SO completely artificial to me that having these non-professionals compete makes it more accessible and fun. I suppose that's why I liked Strictly Ballroom. It made fun of the genre while still respecting it.

I mean, come on, this show is about as cheesy as you can get! But then again, so is ballroom dancing!

I find it an extremely challenging and difficult sport. I thought Sunset Blvd> was "cheesy", but that, of course, is a matter of opinion.

I was disappointed last night. I don't find Warren entertaining at all. I just find him horrible and think he should have been gone WEEKS ago. I haven't liked any of his dances and noticed that the judges wouldn't criticize things about him that they criticized about others.

I am hoping Lance will win now. I love Lacey's choreography and think he has really improved throughout the season

Everybody, calm down! Maybe "cheesy" doesn't mean the same thing to you as it does to me. I don't think something is "bad" when I call it "cheesy." But maybe "corny" is a better word...although I don't think that is quite the appropriate word either. Nevertheless, I didn't mean it in an insulting way.

Ballroom Dancing certainly requires skill and talent. I just think that as a "sport" (as JohnBoy called it) or an "art form" (as someone else might call it), it's gawdy and over-the-top. I happen to love "gawdy and over-the-top," which is why I love ice skating and ice dancing too.

I have also been won over by Lance and Lacey, and I was firmly in the other corner--any other corner-- which proves how far they have come

---

I will be happy with Brooke or Lance winning, just please not Warren.

Thank you, liljay. I guess some people think "cheesy" is a bad thing. There's room in this world for everything. My tastes run the gamut. It makes life less boring, that's for sure!
