Random thoughts:
First, the no-surprise, I called it first here last night, Mark Cuban would be safe. Glad that America rewarded the hard worker.
Now the shocker, but, to think of it, it really wasn’t one. My week 1 result recap was subtitled “Fan Base”, where I said “fan base is always a big factor in the first week”. Well, guess what, the second week is not much different from the first. Continue reading
Injustice #1:
Helio had little to none hip action. The choreography covered that up really well so it didn’t show. He got 27 the highest of the night which was very undeserving in my opinion.
Injustice #2:
Mark Cuban was decent in his Mambo. I thought of the three men dancing Mambo his upper body action was at least the second best. And his footwork was pretty good too. Continue reading

No surprises. Josie went home, as I expected. Like she said in her clip, “being a model you only need to look good, you don’t have to train the strength”, and Alec summed up “(she is) deceptively unfit”, I don’t think many people were shocked that she’s gone.
What was a little surprising was Mark Cuban was the bottom man, not Floyd. Considering their physical talent and body attributes, I would think Floyd should’ve danced a lot better than Cuban, but in fact he did worse. Fan base is always a big factor in the first week. Continue reading

Two things I didn’t expect to happen happened tonight:
1. Mark Cuban is better than I thought.
I like how he said he’s doing this for his little daughter.
2. Helio Castroneves is way better than I thought.
Before the show I was saying to my hubby that a race car driver would have nothing but upper body strength, when lower body is probably the more important portion in dancing. It turns out that Continue reading
Three things I liked the most about Monday’s opening night show:
1. Co-host is no longer Samantha Harris (I don’t dislike her but she’s just not been a very good co-host). Instead it’s Drew Lachey which I think played off Tom very well. The Len’s assessment joke came very natural and cracked me up. He also related better with the celebrity dancers, being a former contestant himself, as a result asked more sensible questions. Continue reading
If you already know what the acronym SYTYCD stands for, the chance is pretty good that you know what DWTS stands for (even if you don’t, it’s not too late to start learning). If you, like lots of other people, have no clue either of these two is, like I just said, it’s not too late to start learning… =)
DWTS is Dancing With The Stars, which has been ABC’s most watched TV show for 4 years in a row now. Its 5th season starts 2 weeks from now, Sept 24th.
Lots of buzz has been going around everywhere since the celebrity cast has been announced and I figure, being a fan myself, maybe I should blog a little about it, too. Continue reading
