Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska -(Cha Cha Cha): Jason kept his head looking down too much during his solo dancing, looking at his feet or Edyta’s feet, which I found distracting. The choreography was fun, though. Scores: 8/8/8
Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough - (Rumba): That was one beautiful routine. […]

The dancers really upped their game this week and the judges finally handed out some 10s this week.  If you didn’t watch, you may be surprised who were the dancers who picked them up.
Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas - (Paso Doble): I really loved this routine. I thought that Kristi really had the acting […]

This morning on The Oprah Winfrey Show was the “Dancing with the Stars Extravaganza.” Oprah sat a table with host Tom Bergeron and judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli sat at their judges’ table. The whole set was transformed to look like the DWTS ballroom.
The prior dance champions performed on the […]

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 hosts Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba debuted their new show Dance War. I thought it was okay. I thought that Bruno and Carrie Ann were annoying during the auditions. Rather than watching/listening, they were chatting to each other the whole time. It was very distracting.

This week on the finals of Dancing with the Stars, each dancer had to perform two dances, one style chosen by the judges as a repeat performance and one freestyle routine, with the rules about lifts, uh, lifted.
Mel B. (Cha Cha Cha, judge request) : I thought that this routine was really fun and playful. […]

This week on Dancing with the Stars, the contestants were able to pick the dance styles that they wanted to perform. They also had the benefit of a master class with judge Len Goodman during the week. The judges were fairly liberal in handing out tens this week, with Helio Castroneves, Mel […]
