Dancing with the Stars

After the individual dances they were broken into teams as follows: Team Paso Doble: Mark and Anna T. Aaron and Karina Mya and Dmitry Michael and Anna Team Tango: Joanna and Derek Kelly and Louis Donny and Kym Bottom line: I think the two to be eliminated should be:

Well, even though I predicted a shocking elimination last week, it doesn't mean I wasn't shocked when lovely Natalie was eliminated! Now, this week two will go, and the question is this: Will it be the two who are clearly weaker dancers than the other seven? Or will the DWtS audience once ag...

But someone has still gots to go. Last night the Top 10 took to the floor with two dances that call for drama and passion: The Argentine Tango and the Paso Doble. They ended up leaving me pleasantly surprised, and not really sure how eliminations are going to.

4. Aaron and Karina danced the forrrrrrbidden dance, the Lambada...and got totally crucified by the judges. A little disproportionately, I think. Sure, it was frenetic, but he has good basic moves and they did some really fun tricks. It did not seem fair that he would score as low as Chuck. Bottom l...

So yes, it was Latin Week at Dancing with the Stars, and couples were going to have to tackle the the romantic, sensual Rumba or the sexy, sizzling Samba. Whether they have to get their hips moving slow and sensual or fast and furious, it tends to be tough for the celebs, particularly the guys. B...

On Viennese Waltz, in order of *my* ranking of them: 1. Aaron and Karina 2. Mark and Lacey 3. Tom and Cheryl 4. Michael and the other Anna On Cha Cha Cha, in order of *my* ranking of them: 1. Mya and Dmitry 2. Kelly and Louis 3. Melissa and Mark 4. Macy and Jonathan

Yes, the models became the clients (which they have done before) and as always these designers seem to forget that eventually, yes, someone has to want to buy their clothes. I alway crack up when there are Project Runway challenges that involve dealing with an actual client. The designers l...

Ellen guest-judged on So You Think You Can Dance last season. Which is almost relevant because she does love to dance and dances on her show every day. In any case, the problem was that her job was clearly to tell a joke every time it was her turn to judge, and it got monotonous. And was more about he...

I did like Christopher's a lot, but I would have booted Ra'Mon and Jonny right out of there. I can think of at least four others I liked better, including Shirin, Irina, Logan and Nicolas. Although I hated Carol Hannah's a lot. (And does she really go by Carol Hannah as her first name all the time?...

Donny Osmond: Oh. Ma. Gah! Total ringer, but I don't care. Sure, I went more for David Cassidy, but Donny still looks pretty damn good. Former Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay: As the little girl in Strictly Ballroom would say: "Well, that was unexpected."

Like Dancing with the Stars, a bit anti-climactic. Mostly because that original song was atrocious...for both contestants!

I had high expectations for last night's Dancing with the Stars finale. The best three dancers actually made it to the end, and each of them has had moments this season when it was hard to tell apart from the pros. This should have been the best finale ever!

OK, my reality TV recaps are a little bitter this week, I admit it. At least America did the right thing last night and finally eliminated Ty (see my Dancing with the Stars recap for that little amuse-bouche of bitter.) But will American Idol producers do the right thing and realize that lots o...

Their ballroom dance was the Quick Step. This was fun and frothy and lovely. And certainly entertaining. I can see why it didn't get perfect 10s. If we're being picky, I didn't actually see all the heel leads all the time that Len has been harping on her about. And it didn't have quite the effervesc...

Each couple had to do one ballroom dance and one Latin dance last night. Am I the only one confused that a Paso Doble is a Latin dance, while the Tango is a ballroom dance? Confusion aside, doing one from each kind of dance was bound to put the contestants' strengths and weaknesses on full displ...

1. Gilles and Cheryl danced the Lindy Hop 3. Chuck and Julianne danced the Cha Cha Cha Ty and Chelsie, Gilles and Cheryl and Lil Kim and Derek danced the Tango, and it was much better than the Mambo, mostly because they weren't trying to be so gimmicky, and actually focused on the dance.

So far Shawn has excelled at elegant dances, and has impressed with athletic dances. Latin dances seemed like the ones she would have the least natural affinity for. Well, get out! because this Cha Cha Cha was her best yet. She was sexy, snappy, sassy and really got her groove on. I was totally su...

Season 8 of Dancing with the Stars has shaped up to be a pretty good year. Even those stars with limited dance skills have had charm and appeal. This year there is no Billy Ray Cyrus or Jerry Springer to drive me crazy with their inexplicably long stays on the show. It's oddly heartwarming to see t...

A little sad that the music from the 80s now officially qualifies as oldies! Every season American Idol has a week when contestants sing a song released in the year they were born. Used to be some 70s songs snuck in there, but now the very oldest contestant was born in 1980. I am dying inside!

Last week I couldn't understand why the judges gave this couple's Tango a perfect score, and why they raved so interminably. This week I thought they should have gone on even long and given them another perfect score, rather than the near-perfect 29 they received. This was absolutely kick-...

2. Lil Kim and Derek danced the Argentine Tango 3. Chuck and Julianne danced the Lindy Hop 4. LT and Edyta danced the Argentine Tango 6. The Woz and Karina danced the Argentine Tango 8. Holly and Dmitry danced the Argentine Tango 10. Gille and Cheryl danced the Argentine Tango

Despite injuries and insults...nothing some sequins and spray-tan can't cover up! Who knew ballroom dancing was such a brutal sport? Well, if you watched last season and saw it take down Olympic Gold Medalist Misty May Treanor, then you probably knew. But who else knew?

2. Go-Go Belinda Carlisle and Jonathan danced a Waltz 5. Actor Gilles Marini and Cheryl danced the Cha Cha Cha 6. Country singer Chuck Wicks and Julianne danced a Waltz 10. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Karina danced a Cha Cha Cha 12. Actress Denise Richards and Maksim danced the Cha Cha Cha
