Meandering Thoughts on DWTS

I can remember when Dancing with the Stars used to be a showcase for D listers. Those quasi-celebrities vying for a come back, in fact I can't even recall past winners, which is probably a good thing, who needs to have that information stored in one's head? I did start to watch regularly when Donny and Marie Osmond started making it respectable. I loved their wholesomeness but I'm biased since my 7th grade gal pal was in love with Donny and I loved it when Marie fainted. Come on, how many times do we get to see someone faint? But who are all those athletes? Sure Apollo Ono, what a cutie, even if is as tall as the Travelocity Gnome. Or Evan Lyschek, I simply adore ice skating, sequins and all, but come, big burly line backers doing the fox trot?

So as a there's nothing else to watch watcher, I will have to put in my two cents regarding this seasons contestants. I loved Brandy, she definitely knew how to move, much to the criticism of the judges, I thought she was good enough to win and well, Maxim as a partner, yum! Jennifer Grey winner of last nights finale, the girl has been through some physical challenges, but do we have to hear it every episode? If you enter a dancing contest where you are required to move it and shake it, then you better be physically fit or bow out. Enough already with the neck, the back and the Patrick Swazye. Out of the three left standing, she was clearly the winner. I just thought it would have been nice if she did do a tribute to Dirty Dancing after all isn't that what's she's known for?

I thought Kyle Massey was cute in a chubby sort of way and he sure can hip hop. I'm just wondering why he didn't drop any pounds?

And now for Bristol Palin. The girl can't dance. She dances like a white girl, all wooden and stiff. Sure she improved 100% from when she started, so snaps for that, but all that tea party voting just because her mom is Sarah Palin. Well, to me that stinks of voter fraud and I'm sure tea partiers wouldn't stand for it if Democrats stuffed the ballot boxes with 80 votes each. No matter how many lessons from Arthur Murray, the girl will never be a great dancer and maybe DWTS knew better than give her the mirror ball trophy!
