Tonight has tremendous potential for a major train wreck... It's TV Theme Song night, in which they will somehow, some way attempt to dance to a variety of TV shows' themes, which is made even worse by more than likely the Worst Band in All the Land attempting to do them...

I will be honestly surprised if Florence doesn't get The Brady Brunch theme....

What dance goes with the theme of "Gilligan's Island".

Or a Tango to the Addam's Family Theme.

LAST EDITED ON 10-18-10 AT 07:42 PM (EST)

Looks like I picked the right week season to stop sniffing glue watching.

drink of the night
Vodka and cranberry juice with a splash of seltzer

snack of the night
layers of grilled portabella mushroom, eggplant, spinach, mozzarella sprinkled with garlic, oregano and olive oil

In their infinite wisdom, my ABC affiliate is airing a debate between the candidates for PA Governor right at this second...

Which means I may miss some of the show...

zap2it claims your debate should be over at 8, but I can help out if they decide to pull an Idol and can't end on time for any reason.

They just signed off, so I should be good, it appears...

Although with the whole season recarp filler with each judge going on and on and on one couple at a time it may be a long time before you would have missed any of the action.

Hammiest.open.ever!

Of what they need to do well...

Audrina/Tony: (Len) Better hip action in Latin... also for Tony to crank up the pressure on choreography...

Kyle/Lacey: (Bruno) Needs to control himself better, needs to work on the frame in Ballroom... Needs to work on his footwork...

Brandy/Maksim: (Carrie Ann) Work on her spots. Needs to be less insecure.

Kurt/Anna: (Len) More musicality in his upper body, and disguise his hands... Also, work on his footwork.

Bristol/Mark: (Bruno) Try to be sexy in the Latin dances... Try to keep her face from appearing vacant during the dances... Let the Minx out!

Florence/Corky: (Len) Up the ante on her own level of skills: Footwork, Artistry, smoother transitions, and elegance...

Egad, any hope they'll ever drop from two hours--or are we going to be fillered to death for the rest of the season?

Are we there yet?

Rick/Cheryl: (Len) Work on upper body mobility, musicality, one to watch...

Jennifer/Derek: (Carrie Ann) Try not to let nerves get the best of her... and don't let her psych herself out... and try to stay injury-free... Also, the bar is very high, if she doesn't keep it up... downhill slide can occur...

FINALLY!

I have a few ideas from the outfits, but it looks like Florence might be doing Doris Day, not Brady's... or maybe Leave It To Beaver?

LAST EDITED ON 10-18-10 AT 09:11 PM (EST)

They're going to try to embrace the idea of friendship this week...

Dancing the Quickstep to the theme from Friends (I'll Be There For You)

Happy, jumpy, slick - very nice.

It was fast, it was kinda fun, but something in her body language and face that comes across as a bit checked out to me and that messes up any chemistry that might be there.

Scores: 9-9-9 for a total of 27 and a very high bar to start with!

I loved it. I smiled during the entire dance.

They got it! She decided to call in Barry Williams, otherwise known as Greg Brady, to help her out in practice... Barry quips that Corky is younger than Peter nowadays!

Dancing the Tango to the theme to The Brady Bunch

A ga gah gee gah.

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

*snort*

I prefer this classy Florence. I wasn't afraid to look this time.

Scores: 7-7-7 for a total of 21.

I liked that. This is the Florence I like to see.

This frightens me.

Halloween's coming up, that must be it.

Do the 'Castle'? Ai ya...

Kurt knows what it's like to have to overcome adversity... he hopes it can translate to the dance floor... Anna, being from Russia, hasn't watched these classic TV shows... or knows who Walter Payton is...

Dancing the Quickstep to the theme from Bewitched

They start up in the Celebriquarium area, where the first nose twitch is...

He played his part well, but still a wee bit clumsy. But I hope it was supposed to be.

Well other than I kept waiting for him to be replaced mid dance by another football playing Kurt...

It was nice, could have been a bit more polished, but a pretty good job.

LAST EDITED ON 10-18-10 AT 09:10 PM (EST)

Scores: 8-8-8 for a total of 24

I loved Anna in this dance. And Kurt was OK.

This might be the first time the house band has had to lengthen a song to make it fit the dance's time period... both of the more 'classic' songs seemed to have been extended, compared to the theme from Friends

They just said that both the Hoff will return tomorrow, and there will be talk from Bruno's Dance DVD...

LAST EDITED ON 10-18-10 AT 09:12 PM (EST)

I thought this might happen to her, but I wasn't sure... since I never watched this show...

Tony gives her a tip to try to get past the awkwardness of the romanticality of the Rumba: Try eating raw garlic/onion...

Dancing the Rumba to the theme from The Hills (Unwritten)

What a snore.

Was that supposed to be sexy?

Scores: 7-8-8 for a total of 23

That was pink. I was bored.

LAST EDITED ON 10-18-10 AT 09:21 PM (EST)

He was wishing it was Baywatch... (That was reserved for The Hoff)

Lacey brought in Kym and Chelsie to assist in practice... Kyle's Angels...

Dancing the Fox Trot to the theme from Charlie's Angels

Also, the announcer's voice played out like it was coming out of Charlie's speaker...

That was very...odd.

Oy vey! What do you expect from the "Charlies Angels" theme?

There might've been too much disco in that...

Kyle didn't know who the original Angels were... he thought about the movie Angels...

Scores: 8-5-7 for a total of 20

Len's got a serious case of cranky pants.

That was very disjointed and strange.

The song and costuming killed the whole thing. How were they supposed to come up with a foxtrot with all of that?

He gets confused from point to point... To try to help himself out, he heads to LA Laker training camp to have Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson try to explain Rick to Cheryl...

Dancing the Rumba to the theme from Hill Street Blues

Very romantic.

The music betrayed him. Not as spicy as I would like, though

Yeah, music was lame.

I was a little bored with that.

Scores: 8-8-8 for a total of 24 and a share of 2nd place, currently...

In an attempt to help her personality out... Mark decided to bring Bristol to a clown school to get her facial expressions out better...

Dancing the Jive to the theme from The Monkees (Hey Hey We're The Monkees)

Hot mess, I say!

So, um...

British slapstick means looking like you forget a whole bunch of the steps and being off the beat?

Bristol was so far behind and lost half the time.

Mark was happy because he got to wear his short pants and sparkly socks.

They started out in gorilla/monkey suits and midway stripped down to their normal outfits... Performance went up, but technique train wrecked...

Scores: 6-6-6 for a total of 18 and dead fricken' last right now...

Good news is that this won't be a physically taxing dance, compared to the past two weeks... Bad news is, she's been so far away from Ballroom that she's not able to learn it too well... to start with. She had a minor nervous breakdown from Derek attempts to teach her further...

Dancing the Fox Trot to the theme to Married, With Children (Love and Marriage)

Beautiful, not perfect, but quite good.

It was good, but didn't really thrill me.

Not only is next week Rock and Roll Theme Week, but they also will have to learn a 2nd dance! (Question is, though, will the second dance be another full dance, Team Dance, Group Dance, or Dance-off?)

Scores: 8-8-9 for a total of 25 to get 2nd place on the Judges' Leaderboard.

I didn't care for it.

The dance was nice, but her little temper tantrum in the preview was outrageous. Good thing she didn't get stuck with Maks as her trainer. What a wimp.

Slice n' Dice's Sigpic Chop Shop 2004

You're calling Jennifer a wimp? She wouldn't have reacted that way if Derek wasn't such an impatient little jerk. He's a jerk, always been a jerk since they got him, and he thinks everything oughta be easy as pie and that the celeb should get it right the 1st time and never have any problem remembering it or understanding it. Maybe he's not as bad of an a$$ as Max, but he's a conceited little weasel, a spotlight hog, and an excessively tightly strung little jerk. If I didn't love Jennifer so much I'd root for him to get 0's.

Her reaction was so over the top relative to his action that it made her look like the immature one. Her accusation that he was letting his TEMPER get the best of him? Totally delusional. He may have been slightly frustrated, but I didn't see a HINT of "temper" in him when she walked out.

Major DIVA moment.

Slice n' Dice's Sigpic Chop Shop 2004

This was a tough one with TV shows. Great job!

Be ready for a special dessert tomorrow...
