Every article I read about this show thought Bruno had the better team. So it figures the public vote would go Carrie Anne's way.

I just wonder if this means Carrie Anne has a few people on her team that really have alot of faithful fans voting for them. If that is true Bruno will continue to lose every week. He has already lost anyone that was voting for his team just because of Charity. Not sure what the plans are if the same team loses every week. I do not think this is about talent as much as about popularity. Obviously a team with more people on it will have more people voting for them.

I figured Charity would go if Bruno lost. So it was no surprise.

Dunno. I thought Carrie Ann's team has better talent overall. His team has some pretty weak links. The two who did the sing-off last night, for example, were equally bad. Bad, bad...

The show was way too staged for me last night. When they were criticizing Carrie Ann's team and she was participating in the criticism, it seemed obvious that Bruno's team had lost and that the producers are setting it up so her team loses this week. Ugh.

The show isn't going well. More talent would help.

I missed last nite. We have tv problems - only one for now - and DH gets to chose! wah!!!!
I can't remember which one was Charity. What does she look like?

Charity was the last female that Bruno chose. She has long dark hair.

I thought they were setting it up for a Carrie Anne loss. Both Bruno and Carrie Anne seemed surprised and I don't think they are that good at acting.

Regarding the last performances, I thought that on the first number Carrie Anne won, but Bruno's number was okay. For the second performance I thought that Bruno won and Carrie Anne's number was awful. Who knows!

I agree. Poppa was a Rolling Stone was a great performance, clothes to that stomp dance they did, but the second number was very weak. I didn't love either of Bruno's teams performances, but the second one was not as bad as the first.

This show is losing me fast. I think outside of
producer manipulation, Carrie Anne's team will win every
challenge because Bruno's personality is just too strong.
He fits in perfectly as a foil to the Len on the other
dancing show. Here, he is just plain annoying. He wasn't
at first, but for me, he is now.

And the singing? Ugh. I lvoe me some mute button.

I am surprised they didn't find more talented people for this show. Quite a few of them on both teams are not that good.

I do think Bruno was using strategy lastnight. He put Zack in the bottom 2 with Tony when we know that is not what Bruno thinks. But since it seems Zack is the most popular person on Bruno's team he wanted to put him in jeopardy. I believe Bruno is hoping the Zack fans will get scared that Zack might be booted if Bruno's team loses again. So they better vote to save Zack and Bruno's team.

Plus I think fans could get curious to see who Carrie Anne would boot if she lost. That might change the voting for a week. But right now you have 6 people against 4 people. Odds are 6 people should pull in more fan votes than 4 people. This set-up could be a disaster.

Carrie Anne's team will win every challenge because Bruno's personality is just too strong.

I agree. It seems that viewers are voting agains Bruno rather than for Carrie Anne. There is no way that Tony should have gone this week. There are some very weak people still on team CA and I really hope they get rid of them soon or I will lose interest.

Also agree that it was a good strategy to put Zack in the bottom two!

Was that Julianne Hough cheering in the audience?

Yes, it was.

I guess I was proven wrong since Bruno's team won.
However, I will stand by my claim of producer manipulation.
I watched the whole show in 20 minutes and was still not
entertained.

I don't see how Bruno could have compared this to AI. Most
of these singers would have been on the William Hung end
of the spectrum. He dances, right?

I noticed Bruno toned down his rhetoric a bit. A teensy weensy
bit.

Ditto. The singing is so bad that it's difficult to watch. I muted all of the time they spent doing the backstage/training bit. Way too long and not that interesting.

Bruno was definitely making an effort to be nicer this week.

I'm amazed that they couldn't find better people for this show.

Glad Bruno's team finally won, but agree that the quality of performances is sadly lacking. I think this type of performance show is dated. When you are doing singing and dancing shows, the audience accepts a little cheese if it is a little Broadway. You can't have production numbers like this and make it so darn cheesy. Thank goodness for the FF button.

Having said that, I have stuck it out this long, I will stick it out 'til the end.

Trigirl, you made me realize that I really like the
Broadwayesque numbers on SYTYCD but the attempts at
a Broadway style on this show fail miserably. I thought
it was just because I didn't like the style. I just don't
like the choreography, the dancing and the singing on this show.
Sadly, I liked Carrie-Ann, Bruno and the host guy on DWTS,
but now, not so much.

Did anyone bother to watch?

With all the recrapping they could have had a half hour finale instead of 2 hours. They were even recrapping the recraps. And what was up with Drew's number?

Bruno's team won. But I doubt either team would have gone on to any success no matter who won. There really was not enough talent on either team.

And they made sure to drag out the DWTS announcement to keep people watching.

Biggest surprise to me was that they were saying this was the first winner of Season One of Dance Wars. Do they really plan a Season Two?

I barely watched. During the first hour I didn't watch at all, too many recaps. I've already seen all that stuff twice anyway, the first time it happened and then the first time they recapped it...

ITA about Drew's number. That came out of nowhere!

I didn't even stay up to find out who won. Mostly I wanted to see Kenny Maines doing the DWTS annoucements, which I did manage to catch, happily. (By far the best part of the show). I didn't watch any of the dancing/singing numbers.

Surprised to see that Bruno's team won, though. I thought CA's team was better, albiet not very good.

Can't imagine a season two... who on earth would watch?

>Can't imagine a season two... who
>on earth would watch?
I'd watch again if all the other tv pickings where as slim as they were the past few months.
Buy i'll watch any crap with the chance of some good dancing.

Taped it in it's usualy timeslot only to find out it was two hours long! Missed the last half hour which was the only bit of new stuff. Cannot BELIEVE that they recrapped as much as they did. I seriously ff'd through 75 minutes of recrap. Unbelievable! Then I miss the ending. Aaaagghhhh!

Thankfully this crap is over.
I ff'd most but the DWTS announcements. Those segments actually made
me laugh several times. Kenny is hilarious.

I think Carrie Ann and Bruno knew the final results already. Nick had a slip
of the tongue when he asked Bruno how he felt about winning "last night" when
he meant "last week." He tried to cover it up instead of making a joke about it.
I think Bruno and C-A wanted to know ahead of time so they could script their
reactions.

If any of these contestants make a name for themselves as a direct result of
this show, I will go streaking down my street.

I thought the same thing, about Drew's slip. I liked Carrie Ann's team more, but I guess they wanted the message that "talent" wins out in the end over "chemistry". All in all, not my favorite show, but I didn't mind watching it via DVR, so I could fast forward all the recrapping that was done all season long.

Icey bounces our hearts!
