“David A. looking like a ventriloquist dummy behind Ron A while he was getting his scores” –LB, endorsed by azmouse

All of Annie’s ‘DWTS’ episode recaps
Did anybody see the camera shot of former competitor Kyle Massey applauding after one of the performances? I recognized him right at that moment! I didn’t see that at first but Nancy Grace’s kids picking on their noses during the camera shot at them was surprising and funny and a little gross. Maybe they had the sniffles or something. How come their dad didn’t bring some tissue with him to blow their noses?
I saw him! It was after Chaz and Lacey (as Lacey was his partner).
Also, I thought BOTH kids were picking their noses. I did a spit-take in my living room.
Aw, c’mon, they’re three.
YAY!!!! I was mentioned a bunch and got the last one!!! WOOt WOOT!
Thanks for including my gems Annie! My favorite caption though is: Bruce_Jenner_feels_left_out. lol
Thanks for reminding us of the Hidden Gems captions “behind” the screen grabs!! Had forgotten about them.
I can’t believe I forgot about those too! How could we??
Keep your snacks close is pretty funny!
You missed Derek’s bum. I think it’s trying to rival Mak’s!
Never happen! Maks doesn’t have a rival in that department. He’s perfection personified.
Key word here is TRYING.
Woo Hoo!! Two shout outs!! Thanks Annie!! P.S….The Jeepers Creeper Gem had me LOLing.. And that shot of Coco doing the shimmy dance..too cute! Enthusiastic Coco Arquette…ECA!!
WHAT is going on on the judges table during LMFAO’s performance??? Is that Carrie Ann and Bruno??
OMG, what just happened? Loved Tom’s WTF quip!
We need an isolation shot of them dancing.
Some of you people really have no life.
Maybe the “Jeepers Creepers” shot is really one of Chynna’s “angels”.
Angels? Did I miss something Squish? I was doing a lot of flipping so I could check out Ashton on Two & a Half Men and then NCIS: LA (I so want to be Linda Hunt’s Hetty when I grow up, LOL)!
Oh, it was some little article that EW had after the premiere… I don’t know if it will let me do a link…http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/09/20/chynna-phillips-on-dancing-with-the-stars-orphans-were-dancing-around-me-huh/
It’s kind of sweet but a little nuts too.
Wow!!! I appreciate the sentiment but what the heck was she smoking??! Definitely a little crazy though I guess you have to be when you’re married to a Baldwin!
I do love Billy though…he’s always been my favorite.
So have you picked favorites yet? I was impressed by Chynna & David’s dancing yet I’m smitten with Carson’s personality & antics! LOL! Thankfully I think this season is going to be far better than I initially thought after the cast announcement.
I still can’t believe Francis Ford Coppola produced the Jeepers Creepers movies.
picking their nose was gross, but let’s give 3-year olds a break..
I thought it was cute. She’s got the sweetest little haircut, too.
Yeah, that was my thought too. I mean, it’s not like a grown up was doing it.
Don’t all kids pick their noses? Poor little things, that will probably haunt them forever.
Was that really Mel Blount in the audience? Still? HInes Ward was last season, dude. Or could it be some doppleganger I keep mistaking for old Number 47.
So glad to have this show back on and great HG’s this week Annie!! Cant wait till next week!
Eeeee! How excited am I that my HG is the photo used for the revolving top stories thing on the main page?? That’s like my own little mirrorball trophy right there!
Who was the lady in the audience that was crying after Chaz’ performance?
His girlfriend.
I thought Brooke stealing Ricki’s “high five” was a hoot. Oh Brooke, what would we do without you….
