I'm such a total dork. Last night, as we were watching, I turned to Greg and asked, "Is Don writing this up in his blog? 'Cause I can't wait to read it."
I've gotta agree with you for about all of it. As to the judges' Drew-love, let's look at it this way; he's probably the best dancer of the men. His personality is something else, but his body is in the best shape, and I expect he has an easier time getting the idea of the dances. And his jive was certainly better then many I've seen out of the silver groups at college comps.
After her rhumba last week, I'm completely in love with Stacy. Those legs just go on for miles and miles! But yes, I think Tia's tango was just amazing. (And yeah, I'd LOVE to look that good a few months after popping out a baby.) Lisa scares me, even if her body is very impressive. And I re-watched Giselle's ending leap last night three times.
Last season, there was only one person I wanted to win. And I spent several minutes ranting at the tv when things didn't turn out as expected. But this season, I can't make up my mind. There are several real contenders. As soon as Master P(athetic) is kicked out on his ass, I can sit back and really start to enjoy things.
Just to follow up, Carrie and I used all of our phone-in votes (2 cellphones + 1 VoIP phone times 8 votes each = 24 votes) for Jerry Rice. Not because he was wonderful, but because we wanted to do our best to make sure that he gets more votes than "the big galumphing elephant" so we can be free of him. Cripes. There weren't any other interested male celebrities anywhere to replace his son? And I feel for Ashly. The poor girl got two waste-of-flesh partners in a row. (Okay, Joey wasn't all that bad, but he consistently annoyed me.) I wonder if she'll even bother with the next season.
Saw this today on one of my RSS feeds; thought you might be interested.
