Dancing with the Stars: Now that World Peace is Out of the Picture, Let’s Get the Competition Going!

So Ron Artest is gone, which means I can finally unclench my butt cheeks. Seriously. He scared me like no other. He was involved in that Detroit Pistons/Indianapolis Pacers brawl right? Yeah, this is what I’m saying. It looks like we’re doing the Quickstep and Jive tonight, which is super fun because these are my two favorite dances. They’re fast and furious – no wonder the opening package showed everyone passing out. I’m excited!

Hope Solo, Jive: Hope is playing soccer and dancing, and I just think this is ludicrous. She’s having a tough time kicking correctly, because all she wants to do is kick a ball. You guyyyyysss! Maks and Hope are dressed up like soccer players. Well, something like that. And they’re kind of all over the place. Maybe it’s because her sneakers are high heels! It just kind of looks like she’s jumping all over the place. It was silly. And I didn’t love it.

Dancing with the Stars Season 13: Where Men are Men and Women are Men!

And we’re back! I’m so excited about this season of DWTS I can barely contain myself. K. Cav will definitely be bitching people out, David Arquette is a loose canon, and Chaz Bono had to become a man to find his fair share of sequins, when God knows he could have just looked in his mother’s closet. And Derek Hough is back! Things could not be better!

Ugh. Except that Brooke is still around, but with a new last name. I hope this makes her more endearing to me. The competitors are coming down the stairs. Nancy Grace is wearing a blazer, which can only mean there’s a snazzy dress underneath! Ron Artest (excuse me, Metta World Peace) is the scariest of all scary. And there’s a new ballroom! Steeper stairs! I wonder if George Clooney is watching?

Ok, Jeanie’s crying. She missed these guys so much. Let’s get this recap going!

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!
