Please keep details of this week of "As the Disco Ball Turns" here until the medics take the last person off of the dance floor on a stretcher.

Steve Woz might have to do his dance on his segway, and Steve-O is still seeing the irony of something as "tame" as dancing causing him the most.pain.ever!

"Drink of the night"

Drink of the night

Mango Margaritas and grapefruit Izzes.

Snack of the night

Courtesy of my neighbor .... Chipotle. Carnitas, roasted veggies, guacamole, tomatillo red-chili salsa, rice and black beans.

I am not a fan of Chipotle, but my neighbor loves it. At least she brought each of the ingredients in separate containers,which must have made the Chipotle staff apoplectic.

They decided to play "20 Questions" to get to know each other better......

They're total opposites.....

Dmitri dragged her around. She shows promise, but my heavens. Looking forward to seeing her again.

Well, the honeymoon is over. She's got to step it up.
"RE: Holly and Dmitri"
Posted by Sagebrush Dan on 03-17-09 at 01:04 AM
After seeing the whole show, I think some of the contestants did a better quick step than Dmitri. She wasn't the greatest, but I think she could have done better with a better teacher/dancer.
Loved Dmitri on SYTYCD, but I think he's just doing this to help his movie career (which he has started).
"RE: Holly and Dmitri"
Posted by mtopaz on 03-17-09 at 11:45 AM
Although the judges criticized Holly for letting Dmitri drag her around the floor, I hope they were also trying to send a message to him. He's the one doing the dragging. Holly won't last long, unless she has some amazing dance breakthrough, but I do feel she's trying and doing her best. I'm not sure how good a partner/instructor Dmitri is -- to last longer, he should try to emphasize his partner's strengths and make her look as good as possible.

I think I'll try an Izze before I get drunk....
"RE: Ruh-Roh"
Posted by whimsey on 03-16-09 at 07:13 PM
Rumor has it he hurt his back. With some folks that may not be a problem, just a shot of something and dance. But Steve-O is in rehab, an addict. I don't think he can take anything, am I right?
"RE: Ruh-Roh"
Posted by vince3 on 03-16-09 at 07:16 PM
I know he just came out of rehab recently..... or at least the rehab building......
"RE: Ruh-Roh"
Posted by Snidget on 03-16-09 at 07:29 PM
Yep, he's been in rehab lately.

That may complicate what they can give him for the pain. I think if it is bad enough they just have to go for it so you can heal and then re-detox you afterwards, but that they wouldn't let him out wandering around much to do. I mean after surgery they will use pain killers even on addicts because sometimes you have to or the brain shuts off to get away from it and that isn't good.

However if he is anything short of needing intervention they probably won't do anything narcotic and that may make it so he can't take enough to numb it out to function (or depending on the injury may be told not to move even if they can numb it out with something).

How will I get the margarita off the screen?

"RE: David Alan and Kym"
Posted by whimsey on 03-16-09 at 07:22 PM
A harder dance, requires a higher technical level. I would have thought DAG would have stepped it up. He is clearly trying not to be the "jacka$$".

When I saw DAG would be on the show, I wondered which David Alan Grier would show, the smart, erudite, quick thinking DAG, or the In Living Color smutty DAG? I'm pleased so far, but there are other 50-somethings to get the votes.

That was not very good. Felt like he had to drag her around the stage.

All caught up now, just watched the dances.

It is amazing how they can cram 20 minutes of dance into 2 hours isn't it.

Uhh, unfortunate. Poor Maks, maybe Denise will go to a hypnotherapist and learn to throw herself into it, like Mel and Laila. I can dream can't I???

Bruno was demonstrating dancing in rhythm of the music, and Tom went to the desk and swiped Bruno's #1 Paddle! I was wondering if they had a paddle that low......

Someone needs to take the extra pins out of her hips so she can move them around a bit more.

She needs to be able to let go a little bit, but the ability to be precise is a good thing, just it can be a bit too tight for me.

"RE: Chuck and Julianne"
Posted by mtopaz on 03-17-09 at 12:37 PM
Judges took Chuck to task for not really throwing himself into the performance. I have to agree -- I know all the celebrities are here for the free teevee time, but seems like Chuck thinks dancing is all girly and he's too afraid he'll be accused of "walking like a girl," like Derrick. Get over it or get off my tv screen.
"RE: Chuck and Julianne"
Posted by Loree on 03-17-09 at 04:05 PM
My complaint with Chuck was that he hardly moved around the floor at all. He spent so much time in that one spot in the middle of the floor. As usual Julianne was dancing around him. Reminded me of Helio except Chuck doesn't have the smile.

Scores: 5~4~5 for a total of 14, 2-week total of 31, and in deep trouble. I wonder what will happen if they're forced to go into the Dance-Off?

Because they were judging the Dress Rehersal, the excitement wasn't there, so the judges were a tad harsh.......

"RE: Lil Kim and Derek"

I think this was my second favorite dance of the night. Kim really is a teeny tiny thing! I think these two are well partnered and I hope they last a long time in the competition. Very fun to watch!
