“Dancing with the Stars”: Elimination #1
First up, we’ve got some recaps for you!
So yeah. I missed last night’s show. I just haven’t had time to watch it, and chose to watch “Biggest Loser” live instead. So after tonight’s show, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to watch last night’s show, right? Anyhow, the skinny is that the men to beat are Cameron Mathison (who I’m sort of rooting for) Albert and Helio. And the one who got beat is Floyd. Poor Floyd. Mark wasn’t so hot either but he was charming with the judges which counted for something.
The judges really enjoyed Sabrina and Mark and invited them to reprise their now famous Cha Cha Cha. Which, yeah, it’s really good. Fun to watch and she looks like she’s having a great time. I’ll be interested to see how she handles a ballroom dance. She’s got the energy down for the latin dances, but how about grace for the waltz? We’ll see.
The first couple definitely going onto the next round are, surprise surprise, Sabrina and Mark. Second are Jennie and Derek. Wee! The women are doing well, aren’t they? Still, we’ve got Josie who got an abysmal 16 points. After the break we are treated to Dolly Parton singing “9 to 5″ and some of the professional dancers doing a little routine to it. Dang, Dolly’s still got it. And I’m not just talking about the singing here. Yowza.
So who is safe next? Drew chats up the men backstage before Tom reveals the next safe bunch. First off, we have Helio and Julianne. Duh. Secondly we have Albert and Ana (and I’m so happy, cuz he’s pretty hot). Sabrina admits to being nervous about trying ballroom dancing, she wants to go right home and start working on it. Albert promises to “keep is sassy”. Yes please. Now we get to watch famous tap dancer Sabien Glover do his thing. And he’s pretty good. Makes my feet hurt to watch him.
Aaaaand… another performance from Dolly Parton. This one is off her new record and is not accompanied by any dancers. This is followed by some fluffy filler about the “origins of dance”. Cute though, and it keeps us distracted. However, the inclusion of one of the Geico cavemen was pretty stupid. Dude, that little fad is SO over. Ahem. Anyhow. Next saved are Mel and Maksim and Cameron and Edyta. Wee!
(more commercials)
We get to see a bunch of clips along with commentary from the judges about just how hard these celebrities have been working. Or how hard they HAVEN’T been working, as the case may be. Len may have jinxed things about talking about how important the judges decision is, how they influence what America thinks. Mmm… sure about that? I mean, I think it’s true, to an extent. But let’s not go nuts here, either.
Jane and Tony are safe, THANK GOD. I was worried. Wayne and Cheryl? Also safe (he’s got some DIE HARD fans, ya’ll). Marie looks about 60 right here. Marie and Jonathon are safe and I throw up in my mouth a little. Josie had the lowest judging and voting scores from Monday night. Not a big surprise. Floyd and Karina are safe, despite him having the lowest judges score. Mark and Kym have the lowest combined total from Tuesday night. So who is going home? Dun dun DUN! (after the commercial!)
So we’re back and who is it? To the surprise of NO ONE, it’s Josie and Alec. I kinda feel bad for Alec. Mark looks relieved but still worried. I just don’t think the audience really knows or cares about who he is. Josie has a little snarky comment for the judges, which you know, she had a right to. I think Marie was worse. (It’s the dress!) Anyhow, that’s enough dancing for one week. Tomorrow? “Survivor”!
