DWTS Season 12: “Dancing’s Like Walking, Except Not At All”

Like, at first I thought that was Wilmer Valderrama, but it's not.

The 12th season of Dancing with the Stars is here! And as Tom Bergeron said, it’s the “widest ranging collection of stars” the show has ever had, which basically means “least famous.” Despite my love for Kirstie Alley, the beauty of Petra Nemcova, and the prowess of Sugar Ray Leonard, this cast is undoubtedly filled with a majority of little-to-un knowns. But does that matter? Not really. I’d watched this show if I was trapped in a cave. With cable. So in the immortal words of Brian Fellows, “let’s get going!” It’s been a long winter, and I’m in desperate need of some Cha-cha-cha.

Chelsea Kane, Foxtrot: So Chelsea Kane’s claim to fame is breathing the same air as the Jonas brothers, which may mean she’s not that famous if you’re over 15, but that she’s also going to be quite a dark horse on DWTS. And if she’s not dating Mark Ballas by the end of the season, I owe everyone who reads this blog a dollar (or I don’t and this is just an outlandish statement). Anyway, Chelsea’s doing the Foxtrot, which is not usually a dance you see on the first night, which I assume means it has some level of difficulty. But sister pulled it off well! She’s pretty and tiny and adorable and a spunky dancer. I think people are really going to respond!

Dancing with the Stars: The Season 12 Cast Announced

I hate that I’m going to say this. Hate it. But I am seriously underwhelmed by this season’s DWTS cast.

While I at least know who a majority of the celebrity dancers are this time around, I don’t feel like there’s anyone that an audience can seriously root for, save for maybe Kirstie Alley.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still tune in, and I’ll still develop a love affair with one of the dancers and root for them and defend every heel-toe and Paso Doble. But after last season, I feel like ABC could have done a bit better job. Also, do we think Derek Hough is kicking himself for taking this season off, considering he definitely would have been paired with Petra Nemcova?

Here is the cast, in order of fame:

Teen Mom and Eyeliner, the Untold Story

Over the past few years, I’ve done my best to avoid shows like 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom, because they depress me. However, recently I’ve become intrigued by Teen Mom 2, the second season of MTV’s beloved (is beloved the right word here?) series. After some serious over-analysis of the show’s first two episodes, I have a few observations I feel need to be shared:

1. Most of these girls are southern, right? They have southern accents, so I’m assuming they are. But sometimes when I drink tequila I get a southern accent, so this is not a definite. Sometimes when I’m really drunk I can speak Spanish. Hola.
