PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue

1. "RE: Dancing With The Stars Love List V6.1" |
Well, I've come up with a few that may or may not stick. Some are faves, some are not. We'll see what you all think.
Karina and Mario part deux, or the sequel. Or Kario.
Steve+Anna=SteveAnna
Penn and Kym are kind of tough since they are mono-syllabic. Anyone??
Adam+Julianne=Juliadam?
Cheryl+Christian=Chiristian?? (not crazy about that one)
Jason+Edyta=Jedyta
Marissa+Toni=Marroni
Monica+Jonathan=Monathan
Marlee+Fabian=Farlee or Mabian. Like Farlee better. Couldn't figure out how to put the interpreter in there-maybe someone else can?? Mark+Kristi=Misti?
Shannon+Derek=Sherek or Dannon That's MY contribution for the day. About all my brain can handle at this time. As far as faves for last night-wow, who knew about Priscilla?? No wonder the King was so enamored, eh? Those moves! And this woman is in her 60's! She's amazing. I mean, just because you've had some botox here and there, and a few nips and tucks doesn't mean your body can keep up, but obviously in HER case, shes's in great shape! Way to go, Girl! Of course, Kristi was great, too. I think most of us felt she was going to have an advantage, no matter what she said about skating being so different. It's still about being an athlete, picking up routines quickly, and that mind-body connection. And she is SO petite and in such good shape. She really does have that advantage-fair or not, she's really in there! Felt a little bad for Monica. She really has that competitive edge, but just not quite the perfomance package to go with. I think Marissa and Marlee could both go far in this if they don't get passed up by the above. Shannon? She is still in the shadows for me. But, boy, does that little blond-headed boy know how to choreograph! Way to go, Derek!

I think Shannon and Derek should be Team Shrek.

2. "RE: Dancing With The Stars Love List V6.1" |
1. Penn & Kym (Team Bullsh!t): I'll probably be the only person who has him in the pole position. I can live with that. I'm not always completely in tune with Penn's life of myth deconstruction and carefully-directed sarcasm -- and yes, you probably do have to consider the source on that statement -- finding it works best in moderate to small doses. In this case, the amount of time he spends on the dance floor is a small dose. He'll have fun out there for as long as he lasts, and he'll be one of the few who can blast the judges right back. There's no denying he's got problems as a dancer -- but at least he won't be denying them...2. Marissa & Tony (Team Fireball): It's not ballroom. It's more like a new anthem for Not Appearing On America's Next Top Model Nation. The best description I ever heard of Marissa was 'men would switch types for her: women just consider switching gender attractions'. That level of self-confidence can be (to pull in someone else's phrasing) hellasexy, and she'll draw votes from some odd quarters. The problem is -- it's still not ballroom dancing. At some point, she has to get herself under control, or she's going out like Sabrina: in a blaze of glory with no public backing behind it. 3. Shannon & Derek (Team Sex): The tomboy making good and the Leonardo wanna-be coaching her through it. If you've seen Shannon's prior ventures into the genre, you know she doesn't take herself too seriously. (Established her screen presence in a series of direct-to-DVD sex comedies: what's to take?) She's here to have fun with this. But eventually, Derek is going to want more classic moves, and I'm not sure he's going to get them. Shannon's very much in character: the self-induced ditz who can stop it any time she likes -- and she'll decide when that is. 4. Jason & Edyta (Team Tutu): So much potential, so little chance to fulfill it. How did Jason even talk himself into being here? He's far too concerned with what the rest of the world will think of him, or at least the tiny subculture he spends most of his time in. If it's not bleeding, it's not macho: if it's not macho, then he officially turns into a girl. I'm already nominating him for Most Likely To Fake An Injury To Get Out Of This. An excruciatingly painful, manly injury. He might be able to progress more than anyone -- but he's living in fear of people mocking his doing well. Jason can live with failure: success may not be an option. 5. Mario & Karina (Team Reuben): All right: one team on the male side which could conceivably stick around for a while. Right now, he seems to be far too toned down: either he's got a very low-key personality or he's suppressing himself so he won't scare the Midwest. ('I'm a potential teen idol! I must be completely safe at all times!') He's good -- but beyond that, I don't know who he is yet. 6. Kristi & Mark (Team Ringer): I don't like this. Yes, they're good, but -- I've never liked professional ice dancing because of the horrific restraints involved. Performers aren't contained by the rules: they're bound by them, locked in chains that say any mistake is the final one, any display of originality must be punished, and the worst sin you can commit is having a personality. Kristi's good, but it's in a way that feels like a robot freshly reprogramming to do the exact same task in a slightly different setting. She's locked herself in, and she's not coming out any time soon -- if ever. If I got the impression she was into this on any level, she'd be close to the top. As is, her skill keeps her from dropping any further -- and the mask prevents her from advancing. 7. Marlee & Fabian (Team Menage a' Trois): I can't wait until her interpreter gets out on the dance floor with them... There's a definite elegance about her, and it'll serve her well in the close dances. But more than anyone else, she has to rely on memorization and visual cues: any ballroom routine with extended separation between partners is going to push her to the limits. Beyond that, this is pretty much the 'meh' middle position. She's there, she's decent, and she's not making much of an impression yet. Could go up, could go down, could go out -- but she should get a few weeks to make a move before that last happens. 8. Steve & Anna (Team Just Here For The Experience!): This may wind up being a waste of a perfectly good contestant slot. 'I'm in the public eye again! I'm making my parents happy! I got a free top hat!' But is he here to seriously compete? Probably not: he already made his parents happy, so mission accomplished. This is a Survivor crossover of sorts: put Steve on that show, and he'd be openly, actively, and on-camera wishing to make the jury. Anyone who comes for the experience tends to get it -- and nothing else. 9. Adam & Julianne (Team Marionette): Actually, no: this is the waste of a perfectly good contestant slot. Is Julianne begging for votes or an early release? You make the call! Adam's admitted he's no good at this, which is fine: no one expects expertise on the first dance. I just don't know if he has any interest in getting better, because comedy depends on staying bad. Steve is here to enjoy himself, while Adam may be around just to mock himself: a few minutes a week on the air, hours of material for the radio show! As such, I vote we give him lots of bits to use. Nothing's funnier than going off first, right? 10. Cristian & Cheryl (Team Telanovela): I don't like him. I don't know why. There's something here that's rubbing me the wrong way. Maybe it's all the 'ain't I pretty?' side glances at the camera. It could be the feeling that he only showed up to get an American career on some level of 'established'. Or it's that smile. It could definitely be that smile, because it feels like he painted it on. News flash, not-so-pretty boy: you're not fun. We've had fun. You aren't it. 11. Monica & Jonathan (Team Pity): So. At any point during your non-childhood of training, training, and more training, with the occasional break for a competition -- did you ever remotely consider saying the word 'No'? 12. Priscilla & Louis (Team Laminate): I'm suspicious. Sure, she's generally a private person. Yes, she doesn't spend a lot of time in the public eye. And yet -- here she is. Willing to be in front of the cameras. Out of nowhere after a long time vacationing in it. I dunno about the rest of you, but I smell an autobiography...

Fair enough. I just believe that all forms of figure skating ultimately come down to some amount of dancing on and over the ice.

1. Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas (Team Ice Dream) Yep, she has an advantage with her background which seems unfair. However she is also married to one of our local Hockey Players and from what I've seen about them in local news she seems to be a genuinely nice person. She did really well and used her skill to her advantage so she takes the top for me this week.2. Penn Jillette & Kym Johnson (Team Does this Mean Kym can't talk?). Dancing skill ain't much, but he had a lot of fun. He also used what skills he has to his advantage so he tops my list from the guys side. 3. Priscilla Presley & Louis van Amstel (Team Plastique) No wonder she's been hiding away. The recovery time from that much surgery has to be extensive. Surprising amount of grace for their first time out. Will she be able to do any of the explosive Latin dances without something popping off is my question. 4. Mario Barrett & Karina Smirnoff (Team Redux) So you need someone with the same name so you don't forget it? He has some skills and did OK, but I'd need to see more to rank them higher (both skills and personality) 5. Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez (Team Gimmick) You know a big part of her being there is the producers think people will turn in just to see if she can do it. On the other hand, I really do enjoy seeing people with various disabilities on reality TV. I think she did a pretty good dance for the first time out even if she could hear the music. Props to Fabian for working out how to make this work for her with the choreography. 6. Cristián de la Fuente & Cheryl Burke (Team maybe we will let you have a chance this year again). DWTS sure does hate the threepeat, don't they? I like her much more than him. Hopefully she'll get a chance to stick around a bit. 7. Adam Carolla & Julianne Hough (Team no threepeat for you, either). DWTS sure does hate the threepeat, don't they? Watching Julianne beg was worth getting this spot even though the dancing was painful. 8. Steve Guttenberg & Anna Trebunskaya (Team All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun). You had fun, I had fun. Not enough fun to rank you higher, but enough to take 8th place. 9. Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska (Team Jock) Needs to stop worrying about what the guys will think, but may have some chance of actually learning to dance. 10. Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani (Team Jackhammer) If this was a contests where speed counted...Oh and stop pulling the Broadway faces. There is a camera. It shows your face really big on the TV. You don't have to make sure the back row sees your expression. 11 Shannon Elizabeth & Derek Hough (Team She's Got Legs) I think she may have stolen some of Marissa's. Now if she could just learn how to use them.
12. Monica Seles & Jonathan Roberts. (Team Balls) She dances like she has them, and not in anything approaching a good way. Eeek!

Well, you can certainly see that I am NEW at this!! Just call me team STUPID!OK, I'll have to think about all this, take it in, and see if and how I come up with anything more original. I doubt it, though. At this point looks like Estee and Snidget-as always-have got it down pretty pat.

LAST EDITED ON 03-19-08 AT 01:53 PM (EST)"I wonder why they partnered a new dancer with a deaf star?" I wondered that as well. I wonder if the ego of any of the dancers that have been around awhile might have anything to do with it. After all the show has been on long enough sometimes we know the professionals more than we know some of the D-listers they are dancing with. ETA: Not that all of the stars are unknowns, but some of them I really don't know much about or haven't seen much of lately and I recognize the dancers on sight by now.

1. Kristi & Mark (Team Ice Dream): I knew Kristi would knock my socks off. I've been a Kristi fan for years and was excited to see her this season. While I am not impressed with stars with prior dance experience, I love the atheletes, with their dedication and work ethic who come in and give it their all. She was spectacular.2. Marlee & Fabian (Team I'm not Listening): I was very impressed by Marlee's first week out. I really didn't expect her to do as well as she did. Definitely a few missteps, but she was elegant, beautiful and impressive. 3. Penn & Kym (Team Illusion): Huge fan of Penn's sense of humor. As expected, Penn's jokes were great and his feet were not. I want him to stick around to keep me laughing and to see how much he can improve. 4. Adam & Julianne (Team It's Called Sarcasm): Adam had me laughing from start to finish with his sarcastic comments and witty retorts. I didn't think he was the worst dancer either (actually my man Penn looked worse). I wish Julianne would have choreographed something a little easier so he wouldn't look so bad. I don't watch DWTS for the amazing dance routines (I watch SYTYCD for that), I watch DWTS to be entertained and root for people I like. Adam is very entertaining. 5. Shannon & Derek (Team Ante Up): I really like Shannon, she is funny, competitive and has the tomboy thing going for her. I thought she did pretty good first week out and I feel bad that she will most likely be booted since it seems voters have something against hot women. 6. Jason & Edyta (Team Inadvertent Touching): He sure is pretty and I love Edyta. I thought he did pretty good out of the gate (much better than Jerry did). His personality is a little dull, but I don't mind 'cause he's just so darn pretty. 7. Priscilla & Louis (Team Freak Show): Priscilla was surprisingly graceful and good on her first week out. I just don't know what to do with these two. On the one hand, Priscilla seemed really nice and did a great job. On the other hand, her face is really freaking me out. Why can't women just allow themselves to grow old gracefully, rather than turning themselves into porcelain-like monsters? On the one hand, Louis did an amazing job with choreography and working with Priscilla. On the other hand, I have always been skeeved out by super creepy, icky Louis. 8. Mario & Karina (Team Been There Done That): Here we are with Karina and her partner Mario, who has past dance experience and natural ability. Same Mario, different nationality. Same Karina, hot for her Mario. *Yawn* Mario 2.0 is much cuter and only slightly less obnoxious than original Mario. 9. Cristian & Cheryl (Team Chilean Sea Bass): Well, his hotness flew right out the window as soon as he opened his mouth. Ick, I don't like. I felt bad for how harsh the judges were on him, though. Haven't we learned already that not all Latinos(as) are great dancers? For once, I hope the model curse comes through and he is the guy boot. 10. Steve & Anna (Team Here to Revive my Career): Shockingly unfunny and boring. I wanted Steve the comedic actor to be on this season, not "world peace," "I'm just so happy to be here" Steve. Crossing my fingers Steve (or Cristian) is first guy boot and my precious Penn & Adam are spared. 11. Marissa & Tony (Team Shut-the-Frick-up): She is so annoying and I can't take it. Poor, poor Tony. She was surprisingly terrible at what was supposed to be a cha cha. Unfortunately, it looks like she is an "audience fave." I don't understand it, just as I didn't understand Lisa Rinna. 12. Monica & Jonathan (Team Prom Date): I felt sorry for how bad she was at the dancing. I did not feel sorry for her "I missed my prom" sob story the 100 times she had to tell us. 
Get (Irish) Jiggy With it.

16. "RE: Monica" |
I was thinking about that whole Monica missing her prom thing. So what? You were freaking making more money that Donald Trump at the time, had world tours, trophies coming out of your ears, and you didn't have a prom date?? Well, guess what? NEITHER DID I!! And I wasn't a world-class tennis player, either!I just grew up in a small mining town where more than 1/2 the guys didn't think it was even macho to go to the prom! So go figure! Are we supposed to feel sorry for her and give her sympathy votes or something? Play dress up once, and we'll applaud you for that, but dance badly, and you're out! That's how THIS game is played, Baby. Sorry to sound so harsh, but I, for one, am getting REALLY tired of these millionaire super-star hero-types crying over their lost childhoods. Did someone put a gun to your head? Well, even so, I don't see you living in a (Snidget??) double wide mobile home, driving a '76 Pinto, now DO I???
