Dance War Recap

No, I did not actually go back and watch my taped version of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann.  I did however, find this recap at TVGasm, which, no doubt, is far more entertaining that the actual episode itself.
It properly sums up what is wrong with the show and gives you a play-by-play with much [...]

There will be no week three recap of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann today because I could not even bring myself to watch it last night.  It is still on my TiVo, so maybe I will get to it at some point.
I thought that watching the Democratic debate was more important than Dance War, [...]

The 2000 movie Center Stage follows students at a dance academy as they deal with the rigors of becoming a professional dancer. Topics covered in the movie are eating disorders, egotistical choreographers, as well as how hard it is to live up with the near perfect standards necessary.
While the dialogue is not the greatest, [...]

On her appearance on the Tyra Banks Show, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was asked what reality show she would want to be on (hard-hitting question there, Tyra).
Clinton said “in my dreams” she would be on America’s Next Top Model, but thinks she would be better on Dancing with the Stars.  She said that she would [...]

Indy car driver Danica Patrick said that she won’t be following in the footsteps of fellow driver Helio Castroneves. Helio, who of course was this year’s winner on Dancing with the Stars, recommended her to be on next season’s show.

Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann week two

I only watched bits and pieces of this week’s episode of Dance War, flipping back and forth between it and Unwrapped, followed by Jon & Kate plus 8. However, that was enough to know that it still is mediocre television. It says a lot that I would much rather watch a bunch of [...]

Has it really been a whole week since the torture that was week one of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann?  Tonight is episode two at 8/7c on ABC.
Although the episode is described as the judges picking their teams and sending two sad souls home, I think more likely that Bruno will say something “outrageous,” [...]

Dancing with the Stars was named “Favorite Competition/Reality Show” at the People’s Choice Awards tonight.  That is not too big of a shock, given the extremely high ratings that the show brings in every season.
DWTS beat out its competition of American Idol and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
It is no secret that the stars love DWTS [...]
