Not Bothering With Dancing With The Stars This Week

2014-05-05T20:04:00.001-04:00

The steadily increasing number of reality contestants, the contrived drama in the weekly packages, the corny "in jeopardy" announcements and the guest judges are all chipping away are the show's legitimacy.

But to have a guest judge that screeches at small children on a minor TV show is over the top.

So I'm not watching this week.

But if you decide to watch I hope you enjoy the show.

Week 7 (Latin Night) - Judges' Scores

2014-04-28T20:03:00.001-04:00

DWTS Disney Live Scores

2014-04-14T20:06:00.001-04:00

It's Disney week - the couples dance to a Disney song and dress vaguely like disney characters.

And Donny Osmond is a guest judge.

Charlie and Sharna are safe, as are Drew and Cheryl.

Drew Carey and Cheryl Burke - Aladin Quickstep - 7/7/7/7=28

Charlie White and Sharna Burgess - Mary Poppins Jazz - 9/10/9/9=37

Some more "results" - Amy and Derek are safe, as are Danica and Val. NeNe and Tony are in jeopardy, as are Cody and Witney.

Danica McKellar and Valentin Chmerkovskiy - Beauty and the Beast Quickstep - 10/9/10/10=39

Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Jungle Book Samba - 9/9/9/9=36

Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas - Little Mermaid Samba - 8/9/9/9=35

So the three couples in jeopardy are Candace/Tony, NeNe/Tony and Cody/Witney. This is a combination of the last two weeks.

NeNe and Tony are safe.

The couple eliminated this week are Cody Simpson and Witney Carson. I guess he didn't have enough fans vote for him!

Live Scores From The Switch Up!

2014-04-07T20:02:00.001-04:00

EThis week's meaningless gimmick is the switch up - for one week only everybody gets a new partner. Not sure what the point is but it's that sort of season!

Having said that I'm actually enjoying this season more than normal!

Oh, and Julianne Hough is the guest judge!

Oh, and no one's going home! Last weeks judges' and viewers' votes are combined with this week's to decide who goes home next week.

Too complicated!

Here are the scores:

Candace Cameron Bure and Tony Dovolani - Quickstep - 7/7/7/7=28

James Maslow and Cheryl Burke - Tango - 9/8/9/9=35

Drew Carey and Witney Carson - Cha Cha Cha - 8/8/9/8=33

Danica McKellar and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Jive - 8/8/8/8=32

Peta Murgatroyd and Charlie White - Rumba - 7/8/9/9=33

Amy Purdy and Mark Ballas - Salsa - 9/8/8/9=34

Cody Simpson and Sharna Burgess - Foxtrot - 8/7/8/8=31

Nene Leakes and Derek Hough - Jazz - 8/8/8/8=32

Meryl Davis and Val Chmerkovskiy - Argentine Tango - 10/9/10/10=39

Here are the totals from both weeks:

Meryl - 78

James - 71

Amy - 70

Charlie - 69

Danica - 68

Cody - 67

Drew - 63

NeNe - 63

Candace - 60

Week 3 Live Judges Scores

2014-03-31T20:03:00.001-04:00

We have the "best year of your life" episode (I think i'm the only person in the country that hates it!) and Robin Roberts as a guest judge (I like her).

Breaking: Billy Dee can't dance tonight!

James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd - Jive - 9/9/9/9=36

Here's Billy Dee - his doctors won't let him dance anymore (bad back). Oh well, maybe Sean Avery didn't need to go home?

Nene and Tony Dovolani - Rumba - 8/7/8/8 - 31

Cody Simpson and Witney Carson - Jazz - 9/8/9/9 - 35

Danica McKellar and Valentin Chmerkovskiy - Contemporary - 9/9/9/9 - 36

Drew Carey and Cheryl Burke - Waltz - 7/7/8/8 - 30

Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Foxtrot - 10/9/10/10 - 39

Amy Purdy and Derek Hough - Contemporary - 9/9/9/9 - 36

Charlie White and Sharna Burgess - Jive - 9/9/9/9 - 36

Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas - Jive - 8/8/8/8 - 32

So, assuming someone gets voted off next week, NeNe and Drew are most at risk.

Also, it's the switch up - next week (only) every celebrity will change partners!

Week 2 Live Judges Scores and Eliminations!

2014-03-24T20:07:00.001-04:00

The judges' scores from last week are being combined with last week's viewers' votes and TWO couples will be sent home this week.

Also, they are not saying when during the show the couples will find out.

Here are the judges scores and eliminations:

Drew Carey and Chery Burke are safe - Jive - 7/7/7=21

Pause for who is safe - Billy Dee is safe. So is Meryl. Danica is too!

Danica McKellar and Valentin Chmerkovskiy - Samba - 8/8/8=24

Billy Dee Wiiliams and Emma Slater - Tango - 5/5/5=15

Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Swing - 8/9/8=25

Three more couples find out their fate! Amy and Derek are safe. Candace is safe. Diana Nyad and Henry Byalikov are eliminated :-(. They don't even get to dance! CORRECTION - Tom let them dance anyway! Diana looked great!

Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas - Rumba - 7/7/7=21

Amy Purdy and Derek Hough - Swing 8/8/8=24

Another elimination break. Charlie/Sharna and James/Peta are safe.

James Waslow and Peta Murgatroyd - Salsa - 9/8/8=25

Charlie White and Sharna Burgess - Tango - 9/7/9=25

Elimination break! They're not going to tell us! Well, that was a waste of time!

NeNe Leakes andTony Dovolani - Jive - 7/7/7=21

Sean Avery and Karina Smirnoff - Salsa - 7/7/7=21

Cody Simpson and Witney Carson - Tango - 7/7/8=22

The second couple eliminated is Sean and Karina. (Cody is safe.)

Well this was a manic episode. Two eliminations and eleven competitive dances.

Til next week!

Season 18 Opening Night Live Scores

2014-03-17T20:09:00.001-04:00

It's season 18 of a much reduced Dancing with the Stars. Will the changes work? I still don't like the scoring system (it's now the judges scores and viewers votes for the same week are added together and the lowest couple is released the week after) but we'll see how the rest goes!

Here are the judges scores:

NeNe Leakes and Tony Dovolani - Cha Cha Cha - 7/7/7=21

James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd - Foxtrot - 7/7/7=21

Danica McKellar and Valentin Chmerkovskiy - Foxtrot - 8/8/8=24

Sean Avery and Karina Smirnoff - Contemporary - 7/6/7=20

Billy Dee Williams and Emma Slater - Cha Cha Cha - 5/5/5=15

Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Cha Cha Cha - 8/8/8=24

Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas - Contemporary - 9/8/8=25

Cody Simpson and Witney Carson - Cha Cha Cha - 7/7/8=22

Drew Carey and Cheryl Burke - Foxtrot - 7/7/7=21

Amy Purdy and Derek Hough - Cha Cha Cha - 8/8/8=24

Diana Nyad and Henry Byalikov - Foxtrot - 6/6/6=18

Charlie White and Sharna Burgess - Contemporary - 9/9/9=27

The first couple to leave will be announced next Monday.

Season 18 Line Up

2014-03-04T11:12:00.003-05:00

The stars in season 18 of DWTS are at once more well know but lesser celebrities than previous seasons.

I actually think one of the great things about the show is getting to know stars in areas outside of what you nornally like. I'm thinking of people like Ty Murray, Mark Cuban, Albert Reed, Brooke Burke etc. I'm not saying I liked them, I just enjoyed getting to know them.

This season I know everyone apart from the skateboarder and the Big Time Rusher. The rest are, shall we say, past their prime, or just going with the flow.

Having said all that you never know - it might be the best season ever!

Here are the couples:

Sean Avery - ex-hockey player - and Karina Smirnoff
Actress Candice Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas
Price Is Right host Drew Carey and Cheryl Burke
Skater Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Reality star NeNe Leakes and Tony Dovolani
BTRer James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd
Actress Danica McKellar and Valentin Chmerkovskiy
Swimmer Diana Nyad and Henry Byalikov
Snowboarder Amy Purdy and Derek Hough
Skater Charlie White and Sharna Burgess
Star Wars Star Billy Dee Williams and Emma Slater
Pop star Cody Simpson and Witney Carson

Is Sean Avery joining 'Dancing With the Stars'?

2014-02-27T06:59:00.001-05:00

I'm not a hockey fan and I've never heard of the guy (I'm sure he's very nice) but it's good to get different sports on the show.

New York Post: Sean Avery is joining the cast of "Dancing With the Stars," sources exclusively tell Page Six. The former Rangers star has been spotted working out in preparation for the show...:http://pge.sx/1bNcQuo

A dailymail.co.uk article from Dwts fan

2014-02-14T23:55:00.001-05:00

New couple alert! Dancing With The Stars pro Cheryl Burke is 'dating' Cougar Town actor Josh Hopkins

The 29-year-old dancer and the 43-year-old actor are said to have started dating following a recent reunion after they met each other for the first time 'almost four years ago', Us Weekly claims.

Season 17 Starts!

2013-09-16T20:02:00.001-04:00

Here we are in the 17th season of Dancing with the Stars!

After some ratings problems the producers have made some changes that include only having one show per week.

This season's cast is interesting, with the women being particularly strong. I'm not holding out much hope on how the voting is going to work, but we shall see!

Tom just mentioned that "how you vote tonight affects who goes home next week". I hope they don't add this weeks votes to next weeks judges scores!

To the scores:

Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd - Cha Cha Cha - 7/8/7 = 22

I looked up the voting rules. This week's viewers votes are added to next week's judges' scores. That's just silly and was the only problem with the first season.

So I think I'll give this week a miss and how things go.

Sorry!

Don't They Want Us To Get Excited?

2013-08-06T06:50:00.001-04:00

The semi-annual gossip-fest of who's going to be on the next season of DWTS has been intensely quiet this time around. Whilst I understand the need for secrecy I do think throwing us a bone or two wold keep interest up.

Add to that the fact that the cast announcement will be made on September 4th on GMA, only 12 days before the Sept 16 premier it really seems they are trying to shrink the show, I assume to make it more exciting when things actually happen.

I can't say I'm raring to go yet (although its great that Derek and possibly Maks will be back.)

Hopefully that will change!

Live Blog of the DWTS Final Results Show!

2013-05-21T20:54:00.001-04:00

Well, apparently the Results Show is canned for next season so this may be the last! (I was never a fan.)

The final four couples:

The current standing are:

Zendaya/Val - 65

Kellie/Derek - 64

Aly/Mark - 61

Jacoby/Karina - 56

Jacoby seems to be a long shot but the others are in with a chance.

Tonight is lots of filler, an Instant Dance and the Champions are revealed!

We start off with a group dance featuring all our celebs of course.

And now we have the encore dance chosen via Twitter. Even though Zendaya was a trending topic on Twitter Kellie and Derek actually won. I agree it was the best dance but I am surprised. A good sign for Kellie!

We are about to find out the fourth place couple. It's Aly and Mark!

Aly was fantastic, a real pleasure.

That leaves Jacoby, Kellie and Zendaya who will do an Instant dance. They will have 60 minutes to prepare.

Now they're making poor Aly dance in a tribute to the women in the final.

And here is Wynonna singing. And yes, she's much better at singing than dancing?

Lisa Vanderpump starts a foxtrot with Gleb but finishes with Len - very cute.

Dorothy Hamill segment - Dorothy had to withdraw and Tristan can't dance in the final! So Dorothy is dancing a Viennese Waltz with Henry. And they are joined by Kristi Yamaguchi and Sasha! Never saw that coming!

Andy Dick returns with Sharna to dance to Poker Face. I enjoyed him.

Now we have PSY. That was fun!

Jacoby and Karina will be dancing salsa by the way.

Kellie and Derek have the jive.

Zendaya and Val also have the jive.

Here's Pitbull. I discover Pitbull through DWTS and I quite like him, but it's just like the PSY routine we just saw! Big group number.

The Instant Dances:

Jacoby and Karina - Salsa - Len said he was full of fun, a breath of fresh air; Bruno felt he had the power; Carrie Ann said it was a dance of a champion - 10/10/10=30, total 86

Kellie and Derek - Jive - Bruno said "Goodness Gracious Great Balls Of Fire", Carrie Ann loves watching them, Len said she was awesome - 10/10/10=30, total 94

Zendaya and Val - Jive - Carrie Ann is going to miss them, Len said she was a star and Bruno said "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" - 10/10/10=30, total 95

We now find out who is in third place....

It's Jacoby and Karina. He's a funny guy, a strange guy, good dancer.

Here we go...

Kellie and Derek are the Champions! Zendaya and Val were second.

DWTS Finals Live Blog!

2013-05-20T20:11:00.001-04:00

It's been a long but enjoyable season!

The remaining celebrities are Jacoby Jones, Aly Raisman, Zendaya Coleman and Kellie Pickler.

Each couple dances up to four times - judges' choice, Cha Cha Cha relay round and Instant Dance.

Let's get started!

First off its the judges' choice.

Jacoby and Karina - Jive - pretty good, seemed a bit subdued to me - Len thought he was getting better (bit late, it's the final!), Bruno called Len Gandalf, Carrie Ann thought he was a bit flat footed - 9/9/9=27

Aly and Mark - Samba - Bruno called Aly scrumptious, Carrie Ann loved it, Len saw improvement - 9/9/10=28

Kellie and Derek - Quickstep - fantastic, thoroughly enjoyable; Len said it was excitement, Bruno said that technically it was a tour de force, Carrie Ann said thank you - 10/10/10=30

Zendaya and Val - Samba - Carrie Ann said it was magical, Len thought she'd only scratched the surface of her talent, Bruno said she just keeps getting better - 10/10/10=30

Next is the Cha Cha Cha relay - each couple dances a portion of the song. The best couple gets 5pts, second is 4, third is 3 and fourth is 2.

Len said these couples are the four that should be in the finals. Bruno went along and commented on everyone. Carrie Ann said it was hard, it was so diverse.

The Relay Scores:

Fourth - Jacoby - 2

Third - Aly - 3

Second - Kellie - 4

First - Zendaya - 5

Next up is the Supersize Freestyle. Each couple can have extra dancers, props etc etc.

Jacoby and Karina - Un homage de New Orleans - Len said it was like his 108 yard touchdown, Bruno loved it, Carrie Ann thought it was a good choice for him - 9/9/9=27, total = 56

Aly and Mark - highlighting Aly's strengths - (I didn't really get the stripper poles) - Bruno said they took an incredible risk, Carrie Ann said it was fun, Len said she was Alexandra the Great - 10/10/10=30, total = 61

Kellie and Derek - From the mind of Derek - Stunning. Carrie Ann said it was one of the most beautiful things she's ever seen, Len gave a standing ovation, Bruno said it was spell-binding - 10/10/10=30, total = 64

Zendaya and Val - Cha Cha Cha to Contemporary to Hip Hop - seemed to finish a little early; Len babbled a bit, Bruno babbled of course, Carrie Ann didn't really say much - 10/10/10=30, total = 65

So Jacoby is at a bit of a disadvantage, the other three are neck and neck.

Tomorrow sees the instant dance, and the winner of Season 16 of Dancing with the Stars will be crowned!

Semi Finals Results Show Live Blog

2013-05-14T21:02:00.001-04:00

It's the 300th show! I'd forgotten that! Eight years of sparkly stuff. Wow.

So we have five couples left and one, probably Ingo and Kym, will be eliminated!

Starting off with a pro dance of course! Some old favorites there - hi Louis!

The first couple in the finals is....Jacoby and Karina. Hey they just bleeped him!

The encore dance is Kellie and Derek's Argentine Tango. Here's one I prepared earlier:

Here is a young girl who just beat the World record for pirouettes. She is dancing with four pros, including her favorite Chelsie Hightower. Lots of spins going on here.

The Wanted sang a tune that is to highlight www.childhungerendshere.com - highlighting child hunger in America.

Now it's Avril Lavigne. she hasn't aged much but she seems to be leaning towards country.

This show is why they should go to one night. The entertainment is top notch but I want to know results!

Zendaya and Kellie are up!

Kellie and Derek are in the finals!

Zendaya is in jeopardy! She joins Aly and Ingo in the final three.

Gleb and Sharna are doing a dance now.

Ingo and Aly are up.

Ingo in jeopardy, Aly safe.

Zendaya/Val and Ingo/Kym are onstage. These are not necessarily the bottom two couples says Brooke.

Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson have been eliminated.

Ingo seems like a great guy, lasted longer than perhaps he should have. Peanut is great!

Final next week. See you then!

DWTS Live Blog from the Semi Finals

2013-05-13T20:11:00.002-04:00

I'm off to a slow start this week - the dog wanted to do her business! Came in through Kellie and Derek's tango - and the bit I saw looked great!

Each of the couples dances twice tonight - the second time it's the dance the Twitterers chose last week.

DWTS Live Blog - Week 8 Results Show

2013-05-07T20:58:00.001-04:00

USix couples are left, four will be in the final so the stars who leave this week and next lose out big time!

Zendaya's Salsa with Val and Gleb has been chosen as the encore dance. Well deserved but so was Kellie's Paso - the one where Len had his melt down. The worst one yet!

Sean Lowe finished with 42 points, Ingo 48 and Jacoby rounded out the bottom 3 with 52. So Sean needs a lot of votes!

All the couples are on stage.

Ingo and Kym are through!

Kellie and Derek are in jeopardy. Huh? I know they got lots of votes! I think the producers are trying to milk Lens little tantrum.

Zendaya and Jacoby are on stage.

Zendaya and Val are in the semis.

Jacoby and Karina are in jeopardy.

Ooh, some hidden mike of the judges discussing Kellie and Derek's Paso. Len actually said it was as good as Sean's dance!

Jason Derullo is now pretending to sing a song.

Here are the results of the Twitter exercise on choosing who dances what next week:

Zendaya/ Val - Hip Hop (duh)

Jacoby/Karina - Lindy Hop

Aly/Mark - Afro Jazz

Kellie/Derek - Flamenco

Sean/Peta - Disco

Ingo/Kym -Charleston

Nothing surprising there, Zendaya owns Twitter.

Now a segment on Peanut, Ingo's son. Sweet.

So here's Derek Hough and Jaime Goodwin dancing in a little room! The room is rotating but the camera is still and it looks like they are dancing on the ceiling, walls etc. Very clever of course. Really quite amazing!

So Aly and Sean are up. I suspect Aly will go through and Sean will be in jeopardy.

And I was right.

So the final three are Sean/Peta, Jacoby/Karina and Kellie/Derek.

Kellie and Derek are (of course) through to the semis.

Those left are not the bottom 2 - interesting!

Sean Lowe and Peta Murgatroyd have been eliminated. Although a little stiff, Sean does seem to have a great sense of humor. He didn't warm me to The Bachelor though.

Semis next week!

DWTS Live Blog Week 8 - Trio Night

2013-05-06T20:05:00.001-04:00

We're without Andy Dick this week (note I didn't do a dick joke) so were down to the "good" dancers.

This week the dancers perform twice - once on their own, and once with a pro (the third wheel/stool) to enhance the dance and highlight the celebrities strengths. Anyway, it was fun last season.

The first round:

Zendaya and Val - Foxtrot - Len loved it, Bruno loved it, Carrie Ann thought it was the most beautiful hold she'd ever seen - 9/10/9=28

Sean and Peta - Tango - Bruno said he started well but..., Carrie Ann thought it was OK, Len said it was powerful but ended saying it was ugly - 7/7/7=21

Jacoby and Karina - Viennese Waltz - Carrie Ann loved the posture and grace, Len and Jacoby's Mom thought it was a fantastic, Bruno conservatively agreed - 9/9/9=27

Ingo and Kym - Foxtrot - Len liked the musicality and smoothness, Bruno that it was a little Fred Flinstone occasionally, Carrie Ann felt it was his best posture of the season - 8/8/8=24

Kellie and Derek - Viennese Waltz - Bruno thought Kellie was a Queen tonight (hehe), Carrie Ann liked it, Len thought it was technically great - 9/9/10=28

Aly and Mark - Argentine Tango - Carrie Ann didn't like the lifts, Len thought it was terrific, Bruno thought she was good at being bad - 9/10/10=29

The second round is the Trio Round:

Zendaya and Val with Gleb - Salsa - Len said the boys made Zendaya a star, Bruno thought it was sizzling, dazzling, amazing, Carrie Ann thought she was the queen of the salsa - 10/10/10=30

Sean and Peta with Sharna - Jazz - Bruno wished he hadn't looked at his feet, Carrie Ann thought he got out of routine a little too much, Len thought he attacked it too hard - 7/7/7=21

Jacoby and Karina with Cheryl - Paso Doble - Carrie Ann thought it needed more finesse, Len thought it was a bull ring and he was a contender, Bruno thrust his hips around - 8/9/8=25

Ingo and Kym with Lindsay - Jive - Len thought it was Full On, Bruno thought his energy was great, Carrie Ann said it was heart and fun - 8/8/8=24

Kellie and Derek with Tristan - Paso Doble - Masterpiece Theater said Bruno, Carrie Ann hugged Keelie, Bruno hugged Derek, Len thought it was a sham - too many flashing lights - 10/7/10=27

Aly and Mark with Henry - Jive - Carrie Ann though it was fantastic apart from being a little flat footed sometimes, Len thought they were great, Bruno liked the way she played a character - 9/9/9=27

To summarize the total scores:

Zendaya 58
Ally 56
Kellie 55
Jacoby 52
Ingo 48
Sean 42

Sean has the biggest hill to climb!
