Dancin' again
I don't have a lot of time but I wanted to get a quick post in about the first night of Dancing with the Stars.
Ian and Cheryl. Yay, for Steve Sanders, I mean Ian for having to go first and doing a good job. He has potential and I will always have a soft spot for the old 90210 gang. I think it is going to be tough for them to win even with or maybe because of Cheryl's previous two wins. They are going to be tough on her.
Laila and Maksim. Laila Ali scares me a little bit and I would imagine that the two of them are going to but heads and/or egos during this competition but she danced much more gracefully than I would have thought. She looked stunning. And she is going to rock the Latin dances!
Billy Ray and Karina. Billy Ray, oh boy. That was some Achey Breaky dancing. Gah. Hopefully he can do better but I don't see it happening. Look for Billy to be the first one to go. Hey Karina...where's Mario? Curious minds want to know.
Clyde and Elena. Meh. He was ok. There was some class and style there but it didn't seem to come naturally. I think he can do better but he won't be Emmitt.
Joey Fatone and Kym. Joey Fatone was the surprise for me. I was never an *NSYNC fan so I didn't really know who he was. But he's fun! And more than that, he's fun and he can dance. I like him to win so far but anything could happen.
Shandi. I was prepared to hate her. I really was. But she's not that bad. Their smiles were almost painful and I am not sure how they will be at the latin dances but she's ok. Barbie and Ken! lol.
Leeza and Tony. Leeza is my other "please go home now" vote. She just bothers me. She's awkward and fake and didn't do that well. I don't think she will go home first but she won't last long.
Heather Mills and Jonathan. I keep finding myself thinking that she did really well for someone with only one leg. But I think she did pretty well for someone with two. I am just not sure that I like her yet. We'll see how it goes. Ugly dress. Seriously ugly dress.
Apolo and Julianne. Could this be a cuter couple? Look for them to be hooking up on air within a few weeks. He can dance too. I thought they were fun and as he gets better they will be tough to beat. I could have done without the Ralph Macchio, Karate Kid, do-rag but other than that I loved them.
Paulina and Alec. I really wanted to hate her. Don't we generally want to dislike supermodels? But she is genuinely goofy and I loved that. I thought she did very well and hope that she can handle the Latin dances. I don't think she will win but she is fun.
John and Edyta. What a good sport Cliff Claven is--stepping in and taking over and doing it with class. On top of that? He didn't look that bad. I love that the judges all said how surprised they were that he wasn't terrible. I'm not sure if that's a compliment. Better than Jerry but he won't last too long.
Just happy that they are all back and dancing. It always makes me want to take some lessons. Then I think about what Paulina said. She said something along the lines of "It's like stepping into your favorite TV show and it's just like you think it's going to be only you aren't as good as you thought you were going to be." I'll watch for now.
