Dancing With the Stars, Season Eight

DANCING WITH THE STARS is BACK…and first up is

Lil’ Kim and Derek…question has her butt always been that pronounced? Okay so far I’m not impressed she looks like she’s behind him on a couple of steps…what say you?  Score:  21 (out of 30)

Up next Belinda Carlisle (of the Go Gos) and Jonathan Roberts; they’re doing the waltz…she needs to master her spins and balance…lol.  Belinda very cautious…I agree with Bruno she went from Julie Andrews to Cloris Leachman…okay well maybe not that bad…but she was very unsure of herself.  Lyn was positive…hmmm made me think he had a thang for her…or is trying to start out nice this season…lol.  Score:  17/30  OUCH THEY PANNED HER.

Lawrence Taylor and Edyta they’re doing the Cha-Cha (and he says he has more dancing ability than Jason Taylor)…well he needs to prove it…cuzz so far he looks very uncoordinated.  Bring it or we will talk about you.  Okay so far she’s doing all of the dancing…he’s very stiff and unsure of himself.  He looked like a prop.  Is Bruno supposed to be the mean one this season…did he and Lyn switch bodies…lol. Score:  16/30…so far Lil’ Kim has done better than the last two.

Steve-O aka Jackass and Lacey–Seems like it’s going to be wild!  Balancing Dancing With the Stars and Stevie-O…he has a good sense of humor…said he’s very Caucasian…yea he is…okay he’s doing the Waltz…how bad can he mess that up?  Well he looks like he’s trying.  I expected much much worst…his technique wasn’t very good…but I could tell he was trying.  Hmmm his score…predicting a 15 or 16.  Wow he got 17 did better than LT.

Who is this guy with Cheryl?  Where did he come from.  Okay his name is Gilles and they’re dancing the Cha Cha.  Glad the music is more upbeat…okay she’s outdancing him.  Okay looks like he caught up with her…he’s definitely entertaining and seems very sensual.  The hottest guy yet.  Oh my he’s hot…he’s sexy…Cheryl has someone to play with this time according to Bruno.  He’s the Sexy Naked Neighbor…what show is that?  Okay their score is going to be better than Lil Kim’s.  I predict a 23/24.  Yep he got a 24…the best score of the night so far.

Okay Julianne and Chuck they should do very well together since they should be in tune…hopefully he can dance…country singer doing the Waltz.  Yeah it’s going to be hard to teach your boyfriend…but let’s see what they got.  Julianne looks like she’s already ready for the wedding in that dress.  Ya’ll I’m not feeling the music…lol.  They looked cute together.  Bruno thought he was chasing her…and he did look like he was strangling her at the end.  Lyn liked that he had good footwork…needs to work on refining his dancing.  CarrieAnne has the hots for him…however…DO NOT LIFT FEET.  He has a lot of potential…says CarrieAnne.  Predict their score to be 21 or 22.  Oh wow only 20…

Holly Mattersen huh…she replaced who?  Oh gosh she is SO BLOND…she’s supposed to be doing the Cha-Cha…with Dmitry…well I like the music…all else fells she can pretend she’s on the cover of Playboy…:)  Okay she’s a sex kitten…I don’t see much dancing…but to her defense sh’e only had one week to practice.  Her score shouldn’t be higher than a 15.  Lyn thinks she’s going to be fab next week.  CarrieAnne called her a newborn deer with wobbly legs.  Bruno said she’s easy on the eye…but there’s hope…keep working hard, keep working hard…her looks will help her with the male judges.  What she got 18…how…all about the perceived looks because it wasn’t about the dancing.

COMMERCIAL BREAK…I like the Liberty Mutual TV ad.

Okay Jewel’s hubby…what’s his name…Ty he’s dancing with Chelsie.  I don’t think he knows what he’s in for either.   Yep her work will be cut out as you are so stiff and GOOFY…oh gosh.  Why is he on the show…he doesn’t even look like he has any rhythm…okay they’re doing the Cha-Cha.  He is truly Caucasian.  Oh he is SO PAINFUL TO WATCH.  Left right left right…yes army drill…and CarrieAnne even put her head down because he was so bad…so far he’s the first who needs to go home…Lyn was trying to be politically correct…CarrieAnne  said he ‘was one cute cowboy’…can we say Pluto?  Predicted score 15/16.  Score:  14/30.  Okay I’m not voting for him or bringing him back…

Shawn Johnson the youngest contestant and she’s dancing with Mark Ballas.  She’s doing the Waltz…it’s going to be interesting to watch her connect with these dances because she’s so young and so immature.  Gymnastics should help her with poise, grace and class.  CarrieAnne was moved by her.  Bruno said she’s surprisingly refined.  Lyn found the whole thing very appealing.  Okay they’re goshing over her.  Predicted score:  23/24.  Score:  23.

Karina and Apples Co-Founder Steve…yes they have a lot of work to do.  Yeah it’s going to be interesting to see if his body can pull it off.  Okay he’s going to be doing the Cha-Cha and wearing pink…oh gosh…he’s trying but it is not smooth…NO TECHNIQUE…oh gosh…he’s Caucasian…lol.  The ending looked sort of awkward.  I liked the knee-spin also…lol was like watching a telly tubby going mad tell em Bruno.  CarrieAnne…said he’s doing something new and going out on a limb.  Predicted score:  16/17.  Dang they only gave him 13…I liked him better than Jewel’s husband!

David Alan Grier and Kim Johnson…okay I hope he can dance because his jokes right now aren’t that funny.  Okay in practice he looks good…can he win?  Check out his Waltz.  He’s cheezing up a storm…but he’s actually looking good.  Oops awkward section in the middle and on the ending he stumbled.  Bruno is funny with the character comments; CarrieAnne says he has to be careful with the face…okay I agree because I wasn’t sure either.  Len  said there was far more good…very well…and commendable.  Predicted score:  18/19.  SCORE: 19

Denise Richards  the slut/backstabber, husband stealer is up next.  Personally, I so don’t like this girl so I hope she’s not around for long…sigh.  Oh gosh this child is already crying…YES YOU ARE STUPID…take your arze home with the whining esp. since I’m don’t want to see you anyway.  I DON’T EVEN LIKE YOU…lol.  She doesn’t have enough rhythm for me…too stiff and not very graceful.  Next. CarrieAnne thinks she has potential.  Lyn believes she gave it a little shout at the beginning but she needs to tighten.  Bruno says she has it all but she doesn’t know what to do with it.  Ya’ll Bruno is crazy…lol.  Predicted Score:  18 I called it…SCORE 18/30.

Final Couple…Okay this girl gets around…first the Bachelor has been and now Dancing With the Stars…is this the consolation prize or what?  LOL.  Oh gosh no prelude…all we get is the actual dance…let’s waltz people…so far…so good with only 48 hours notice.  She must have had some prior dance training because she was really good for short notice.  Another door sure opened for her…and yep Lyn she’s danced before.  Bruno liked how she unfolded the arm with grace and fluidity…sympathy vote…CarrieAnne thought she had a lot of natural talents and beautiful lines…but she needs to not take it so lightly. Predicted score:  20  Wow they gave her 23…FINAL SCORE.  Go Melissa.

Well that’s all folks; same time next week.  Thanks for hanging out with us this evening and look forward to seeing you again next week.

    Yeah, does look like she has gotten butt implants. I read somewhere that black & latin people are among the most who get butt implants. I think she can get better though. But here face and body…yikes!

    I missed Lil Kim; Belinda has had a lot work done in her face…and you can see her counting steps….very safe/cautious routine…like she’s ultra-fragile.

  3. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 6:52 pm:

    Oh my gosh…she needs to leave the plastic surgery alone!

  4. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 6:55 pm:

    Well so does Lil Kim. They both had enough for six people. However, Lil Kim was not bad. Belinda bored me with her performance.

    Hey Yas- Lil Kim was a lil stiff. I think she’ll work it out. She’s out of her element. I think she’s got a good partner, and he’ll bring it out of her. Plus he’s young and probably has an appreciation for hip hop.

    Don’t know about the booty. It was looking a little wide. LOL. I’m just saying.

  6. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 6:55 pm:

    Phyllis…Lil Kim was okay…actually better than Belinda…and Belinda has had mega work…whew.

  7. GravatarPhyllis on March 9th, 2009 at 6:55 pm:

    If she can’t handle spins w/o getting dizzy — why did she volunteer to do this?!?!

  8. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 6:57 pm:

    Belinda looked more graceful to me…I expected more from Lil Kim…lol. The booty looks like it has had some work…lol.

  9. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 6:57 pm:

    Phyllis good question…didn’t she watch prior shows to know what was required.

  10. GravatarPhyllis on March 9th, 2009 at 7:03 pm:

    LT looks like an older Emmit…

  11. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 7:04 pm:

    Phyllis aha…yes he does! Oh yeah and a bigger Emmitt…hehe.

  12. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 7:04 pm:

    Ok can we get new attire for the football players. Lawrence Taylor had on the same outfit that Emmitt Smith and Warren Sapp had on. Cream silk shirt with brown pants.

  14. GravatarLashonda Silver on March 9th, 2009 at 7:07 pm:

    I have missed everyone. I saw LT get his score, only because I was on the crackberry and saw Yas’s comment. I am about to braid my oldest hair and watch the rest…Hope her parts remain straight…teehee.

  17. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 7:11 pm:

    LOL…was Lawrence Taylor in rehab also?

  18. GravatarDjuanna on March 9th, 2009 at 7:11 pm:

    Yawn. So far, it looks like Lil Kim is going to be the only chance for some spice. That’s not good.

  21. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 7:14 pm:

    Djuanna I know…Lil’ Kim the best…oh gosh…lol.
    Phyllis…my husband said the same thing…I swear I didn’t remember the details…but hubby remindedme.

  22. GravatarPhyllis on March 9th, 2009 at 7:21 pm:

    Was the close-up on his butt supposed to be sexy??? And why is she challenging his masculinity…did anyone else notice that?

  23. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 7:22 pm:

    I noticed Phyllis.

  24. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 7:23 pm:

    Gilles is given Lil Kim a run for the money. He did the best for the men so far.

    Jennifer C´s last blog post..Worth More Than a Penny

  25. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 7:24 pm:

    Gilles is in the lead now. I knew he would take it from Lil Kim.

    Jennifer C´s last blog post..Worth More Than a Penny

  26. GravatarChantay on March 9th, 2009 at 7:24 pm:

    Well, he did swing his bottom quite well…I’m just saying!

    Chantay´s last blog post..Top 25 MAXWELL: SONGS

  27. GravatarDjuanna on March 9th, 2009 at 7:25 pm:

    So Gilles is Lil Kim’s competition. Interesting.

  28. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 7:25 pm:

    I peeped that too Phyllis. She keep telling him he wants to look like a man, not so feminine.

  29. GravatarVictoria Wells on March 9th, 2009 at 7:27 pm:

    I noticed too! So far they have the highest score. I thought Lil Kim was good. I’m so glad her costume flattered her body type!!!!

  30. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 7:33 pm:

    Bruno is killing Chuck.

  42. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 7:55 pm:

    Karina’s outfit is designed to cover her private parts; otherwise she’s naked. They need to have the genius man go home. He’s smart but lack all sense of rhthym.

    David did better than I expected, but he scared poor Kym. He was doing a comic routine on the poor girl and she was confused.

  54. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 8:20 pm:

    Djuanna–thanks.
    Jennifer–what happened when Sabrina was on the show.
    Phyllis/Djuanna–David does have skills but he does need to control his facial expressions.
    Jennifer–yeah she was…she was so confused…hehe.

  55. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 8:20 pm:

    Jennifer…Bruno called him a Telly Tubby and I agreed…hehe…but yes Herman Monster…very apropo. hehe.

  56. GravatarPhyllis on March 9th, 2009 at 8:23 pm:

    She’s crying and apologizing profusely already…..oh puleeze!!!

  57. GravatarPhyllis on March 9th, 2009 at 8:23 pm:

    I think I need to get into the spray-on tan business, I’d make a mint!

  58. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 8:24 pm:

    I don’t like her Phyllis…and yes regarding the spray-on tan.

  59. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 8:25 pm:

    Ok seriously, Denise Richards should stick to stealing other women’s husbands. It was horrible. Her performance sucked rocks.

    Jennifer…rotflmao…U R so wrong but so true…I agree she sucked.

    Phyllis…yes the crying, whining was annoying.

  61. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 8:27 pm:

    Sabrina was fan favorite. The night that she was the best out of everyone else it seemed like no one voted for her, so she did not make it to the top 4. The judges were shocked when she was sent home.

  64. GravatarDjuanna on March 9th, 2009 at 8:32 pm:

    I hope Melissa doesn’t get the pity votes. Seriously. She was on a reality tv show trying to find a man. Give me a break.

    Djuanna´s last blog post..The Spring Chronicles

  65. GravatarJennifer C on March 9th, 2009 at 8:35 pm:

    Now I know if I ever want to get on DWTS I will get on a reality program and be embarassed. I mean come on now, she was dumped on national tv and came back on DWTS. I don’t think she’s a star; fool yes, but not a star.

    Jennifer C´s last blog post..Worth More Than a Penny

  66. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 8:38 pm:

    Jennifer…sorry to hear about Sabrina; and yes DWTS is a consolation prize..
    Djuanna…a lot of folks like that chick so she will probably go far…sigh. Melissa is actually decent…she should be around for awhile…if folks vote for her.

  67. GravatarAPOOO on March 9th, 2009 at 8:39 pm:

    Jennifer…I agree I don’t consider her a star either.
