“Dancing with the Stars” premieres
I missed the first half of this, so I’m not going to do my “Big Brother” style recap for this episode, unfortunately. I will give you a list of recap sites so you can catch up if you missed out (like I did! *sheepish look*). And I’ll give you my impressions from where I picked up.
When I picked up, the “Cheetah Girl” had just finished dancing and was getting her scores. So I go to see Marie Osmond’s intro and performance. While I kind of enjoyed her energy, her dancing I did not. Nor did I enjoy her dress. The slit in the side I found very distracting and I was constantly afraid I’d end up accidentally seeing something I didn’t want to. I thought the judges were AWFULLY kind when they spoke to her, but luckily their scores reflected (mostly) her performance. They were 7, 7, and 7 for a total of 21.
Next, was Mel B, of “Spice Girls” fame. She’s a card, that one. I could see where her personality would get annoying, but so far I’m enjoying her. And her performance was a LOT of fun and I really dug her dress. I missed what her scores were because my husband was delivering to me a peach crisp for desert at the time (and who wouldn’t be distracted by peach crisp?).
After the break, we get to see Jane Seymour. I adore her. I used to be a big “Dr. Quinn” fan so I’d like to see her do well. She’s very excited to be on the show and I think she has some great potential. Her dress…. eh. Not so much. It’s a little PINK and the length is pretty long but it’s still a lot better than Marie’s. Her dancing, however, seems awesome. Not terribly energetic, but the foxtrot doesn’t seem to call for much energy. The judges had some pretty nice things to say too, very elegant and beautiful. Watch the turns. Their scores? 8, 8, and 8 for a total of 24. Not shabby.
So that sums up the women. Tomorrow, we see the men. Who am I most interested in? Cameron Mathison because I used to be a big “All My Children” fan, at least until they killed off Dixie. I’m also interested to see Wayne Newton. The Indy car racer totally makes me think of Sascha Baron Cohen’s character from “Talladega Nights”. Don’t you think? Anyhow. Vote now for your favorites. Sabrina is in first with 26 points, with Mel B and Jane in second with 24 points. Apparently Josie stunk up the joint and got 16 points. My husband (who saw her perform) says she did MUCH better than Marie Osmond. So we’ll see. Anyhow, that’s it from me, later taters!

As a friend of mine said, “I didn’t think it was possible to make a sequin gown look frumpy, but Marie managed it.”
Jane Seymour, on the other hand, was the epitome of elegance. I’m really pulling for her to do well. And can I please look even half that good when I’m 56?
