Ever get the feeling you’ve seen Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba before? Maybe it’s because she played Fook Yu (scroll down) in Austin Powers in Goldmember. Now, I’m not exactly sure I’d agree with Inaba’s assessment that the role was ”all in good taste,” but considering she’s worked behind the scenes as a choreographer for such reality shows as Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?, Married by America, and The Swan, played ”Goddess Dancer” in the big-screen bomb Showgirls, and worked the pole during Madonna’s Girlie Show Tour, I guess everything’s relative.

If people want to watch ballroom dancing, watch “Strictly Ballroom” a briliant film that carries much more value than watching “celebrities” (who is the celebrity on the show?) try to dance (yes Kelly M. I mean you), and play to the camera that they are not liked by America (yes Rachel H. I mean you, my goodness you were a model, stop your whining, of course no one wants to see you win, you are a model), I will admit I watched for a few mintues last night, and am ashamed. I then but in the film and life felt so much more at peace and right. Who cares about the scandal of a judge? So American Idol.
Carrie Ann was also a fly girl on “In Living Color”…that’s where I (sadly) first recognized her from…this show is such the guilty pleasure for me!
Can I just say that I was once in love with Joey McIntyre back in his New Kids on the Block days, but he has become so not attractive in his “old” age. It depresses me.
I have to say that I’m not that impressed with her resume.
I am so happy DWTS is on television because now people can see real entertainment!

“Dancing with the Stars”
I have a real problem with the outcome of the “Dancing with the Stars” competition.
John O’Hurley and his partner Charlotte did an even better job with their quick-step, than they did the first time. They were rewarded with wonderful marks.
Kelly Monaco (and her partner Alec) didn’t do quite as well with their repeat performance, as they did the first time. You’d never know it from the marks, however.
Then came the free dance. John and Charlotte were wonderful, and got good marks.
Kelly made several mistakes, that were visible to even non-pro dancers. Yet she and Alec were awarded the first perfect scores of the competition. Not from one judge, but from all three.
I guess I’m supposed to surmise from this that it was the best performance of the entire competition? Not even close.
But wait, here’s a possible explanation: Kelly Monaco, DWTS new darling, just happens to be employed by ABC.
Conflict of interest, much? I mean a win by Monaco is nothing but good press for “General Hospital” (lagging in the ratings) and ABC, right? Not to mention that the “winners” will appear on “Good Morning America” tomorrow. Another ratings bonanza for ABC.
I have a suggestion for season 2 of this show:
a) either give the competitors the scores they truly deserve
or
b) as in most contests, perhaps employees of Disney, ABC and their subsidiaries should not be eligible. Just like for the rest of us.
O’Hurley? You got ROBBED.
I quite agree with the poster who said that John O’Hurley was robbed. This guy has been a class act throughout, knocked himself out, and yet seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself the whole time. Kelly Monaco shakes her hips and gets carted around by her partner, and she gets a perfect score?? Fred and Ginger are rolling in their graves tonight!
Extremely interesting to read last year’s comments/criticisms about the outcome of DWTS….
Talk about a true shame is what is happening on the 2K6 show. A disasterous decision on ABC’s part to include audience votes.Takes the professionalism completely out of it.
Maybe next year…
Wow… no wonder she’s so comfortable in those extremely low cut dresses. I’m a little disturbed, to be honest, why she wears them every week. A little too risque for a judge when the other two are wearing tuxedos.
Hey, this show keeps me awake! I love it! Now that P’s out I can watch without wanting to swear at the TV. What were they thinking! His big clunky clown feet would have broken Ashley’s foot had he missed his step! Anywho, George has got me in stitches every show but he is no Jonathan. It’s nice to see Tia losing so much weight and it is inspiring me but my favorite is Stacey. Show off. And I’ve heard Drew will be doing the next new reality show called “The Newdaddy” not to be confused with “The Newlyweds”. HA HA. Ahhhhhh. Keep em coming reality TV. We could blog all night….
LISA GOT ROBBED! That Jerry Rice may be nice, but not at all top material. Lisa was wonderful and I cried when she lost…it was totally not fair! What’s with the public voting for him! You know he is not a good dancer for that caliber of competition. Really, let the best person win..and not by favoritism!
For weeks we had this big build-up on Stacy and she was not pushing the limits in her dancing. And then you come to the freestyle and the women with all the makings of putting a great routine together falls flat. I don’t blame Stacy for the routine I blame Tony for putting that crap together. I would like to see Stacy and Tony do a freestyle route to “Foot Loose”.
What the hell was the show producters going don’t they review the route before the show. They had a chance to real have great Sunday and now hey will have a flop. If they don’t watch out the will have a results of Jerry, Drew and Stacy. If Stacy would win I see her making $$$$$ but Drew he will go back to acting with his fame of being the ex-brother-inlaw to Jessica Simpson.
I have to say half way into the show. That I can’t believe that Jerry is still in it and Stacey is out. This goes to show you that the viewers out there are purely stupid. To back the worst dancer since the show aired (Jerry). If Drew doesn’t win tonight against Jerry, this household will never watch Dancing With the Stars again.
Jerry’s still on and Stacy is out. I could care less who wins. Jerry is a nice guy but never should have made it to the final three. This was my last Dancing with the Stars.
