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.

This show is so lame — and they’re calling it summer’s biggest hit. Why doesn’t the public ever support GOOD shows, like “The Real Gilligan’s Island”? (Kidding.)
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.
Should have been two winners tonite! And not Jerry. Stacy and Drew both deserve to win tonite. Unbelievable!!

Even though many will feel sorry for Stacy losing,
somehow it seems to fit. DWTS has simply embraced
the WWE format. The entire program is a put on. At its very core is the soul of liberal belief: OJ was
innocent, midnight basketball keeps them out of jail
and ebonics is good for self esteem. Can I have your
vote now?
The real problem is allowing the audience to vote. It’s not about dancing. Stacy and Drew were good. Jerry was not that good but lasted because he is likeable. Lisa could dance but she was not as good as these two. The guy bounced the frist week and P were the worst.
Dancing With the Stars: Great costumes, wonderful professional dancers, terrible match of music to dances. The musical director should be fired immediately.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH THE JUDGING PROCESS ON THIS SHOW BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE ACTUAL GOOD DANCERS ARE GIVEN THE CREDIT DUE THEM. I’D LIKE TO SEE A WHOLE LESS JUDGING OF PERSONALITY AND A WHOLE LOT MORE JUDGING OF DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m afraid that even from the first episode this season it doesn’t look like a great cast. The “stars” are so less than stars that they make the Surreal Life casts look like superstars! (And that’s tough to do)

Goodbye, Gibbons.
It’s the strongest lock since I picked Florida to buck Ohio State in the college football title game.
OK, so I picked Ohio State to return the favor in the recent hoops final. But who’s counting?
On the floor that counts right now — “Dancing With the Stars” — Leeza Gibbons won’t stand for long. Like tonight. She’ll glide right past Clyde Drexler and fade stage left.
Not that it matters much. Drexler is a slam-dunk goner next week. McCartney will beat it soon thereafter. The Cheers guy is facing a last call. Billy Ray won’t be aching in practice much longer.
Start counting down to the Fat One vs. Ohno.
Joey is this season’s Mario Lopez, a ringer stepping all over the competition. The big guy truly hammered it out last night, doing footwork only a pro can nail.
As for Apolo, he has two big factors that will shoot him to the final: a gold-medal ethic and a partner who is a drop-dead superstar waiting to happen. That would be Julianne Hough, the hottest teen to hit

Girlie man? No. Girlie fan.
Ask most guys why they’re dazzled by “Dancing With the Stars,” and they won’t sidestep the truth. It’s the chicks.
Especially Laila Ali. She’s a knockout figuratively. Good for her daddy for producing something glitzier than a heavyweight title belt.
Then there’s that dancing titlist, Cheryl Burke. She rode Drew Lachey to the top two seasons ago. Then rushed Emmitt Smith to the trophy last fall. Now she’s trying to win with “90210” actor Ian Ziering. If the judges are staring at her backless outfits, she’ll wear a threepeat.
As for the sexiest of them all, Julianne Hough, I save her for the last of my musings:
Week 1: Some wag wrote that model Paulina Porizkova was safe from the voters’ ax. Wake up. The tall Czech was too short on name recognition. Even more than 2004 Miss USA Shandi Finnessey. Which meant no fan constituency to offset any rips from the judges.
Sure, the Clyde The Glide can’t hide his dulln
I must say that I’ve watched a few episodes and I didn’t find myself absolutely needing to tune in. Probably because I am not interested in ballroom dancing. I think “So You Think You Can Dance”, and MTV’s up and comming “Rapping With The Stars” will be more appealing to me.
