Toni

and the quick step. She's got a heart problem. Nice costume. Looking good quick stepping. She's really got a nice way with this dancing thing.

Judges? Bruno...light, sparkling, elegant. Carry Ann, they move well together, good. Len says, mostly good movement but weird footwork in spots. Very very good. At least they agree with me. But the scores? After the comercial? No, Samantha interview. 2 8s and a 7. Solid. She could be a favorite. Easily.

Safe next? Warren. Where's Susan?

Alright!

Chloris saved. Good. Mambo. She sure knows how to perform. Moves charmingly and having fun. My dad couldn't have done that at 82. I can't do that now. More power to all of 'em for giving it a shot. She's just joy to watch and a treasure.

But the judges say...Carry Ann points for entertainment. Len congratulates Corky for his good job. Bruno never saw such a mambo.

Hope she stays. No scores yet. More commercials. One 6 and 2 5s. Not so bad. Better than last night, I think.

Next couple...Toni Braxton. She's good too.

Brook

She's really good. Great song. Qick step. Looks good to me. This is a hard one. It's one of my favorites next to the jive which is the perfectest dance in God's creation.

Len and Bruno love it. Bruno is over the top emoting. Carry Ann says fantastic. Geeze. 2 9s and an 8. Already. She really is good.

And who's safe next? Always a comercial.

next...

The next saved couple...The Olympian volley ball player, I think she is. Missy? Misty? Missed her name. It's probably something completely different.

They're announcing one at a time who's saved, then they dance. This show is different every year and I can never figure out what's going on.

She looks pretty good, but I'm not latching on. She's not a favorite yet. Carry Ann says much better tonight. Len says good stuff. Bruno also mentioned her arms. I didn't notice them at all.

After all these seasons, I should be a dance observer expert. Clearly I'm not.

3 7s. Solid scores, same as last night. But I thought she was better. I don't get how they score, either.

Maurice saved. He's a happy dancer. He really does good. Naturally good mover with lots of umph. Lots of attitude and fun. Hope he stays.

Judges enjoying it so far. Len says...great but no more 'free willie' steps. He did the worm. Len no like. 3 7s. Guess that's better than last night. I don't remember last night.

I just hope Susan and Chloris especially stay. The I want Kim and Ted to stay. But this is a popularity contest as much as anything, so it's fan base that counts an awful lot.

Ok, I'm tired of blogging now.

guess I should blog

This is gonna be grim. I even got a good nap, but am sleepy already and the show is just starting. And it starts an hour later than last night. I'll never make it. Probably. Or is that, 'probably not'?

Elimanitions already. Then there were, will be, 12.

Lance is upl. he looks good, natural, moves well. Kick-ass song, too.

Judges? Say yea...good news?

Len, didn't like posture and hold, not for him. Bruno, fresh, good timing, sells it, dynamic. Carrie Ann (thanks for printing names on screen!) 6, 7 and an 8 from Bruno. I think he's very entaining, so is his partner, a new girl. I kinda like her. Looks a little punk or goth or something. Seems nice and has great energy and flair on the floor. Good for me, anyway. Think I might not want to hear what Len says.

Kim got

2 6s and a 7. I thought she did pretty good. I like her. Like her show and her family. That stuff carries over from one product to the next. I lost my last post, lost connection. That's been happening a lot lately. What I said I've no idea, and you probably are saved from having to slog through it.

Susan's doing good. Throughing that attitude into the mix. Looks like good feet to me. Just needs more dance practice and she'd be totally sharp. But they all need more practice, don't they. She just needs to lube up a bit and relax. That's such a scary thing to do it's not surprising people are self-conscious. I vote for her, too. And Ted. And Kim. I vote for all my favorites. Lots and lots of times. Judges say, 3 5s. I thought she was a bit better than that. Just needs to relax. She knows how to act, just act it out and forget the self.

I watched All My Children when it first started for several years. Her character was not very nice, very needy and took what she thought would work for her. It never seemed to. She was married to someone who was really meant for Mary - the two later married in real life. Then there was Tara and Phillip. They married each other in a cave all alone. Did she then get pregnant? Oops. Was it Luke and Laura later, or is that another show? Haven't watched soaps for a long time now. Never saw Kellp Rippa in Children, so I'd quit before she started, I guess.

Volleyball champ, Misty's up now. Don't know her, either. Athletes have to overcome their training and move differently and it's not so easy sometimes. She looks pretty good. A little wobbly, but good effort and some good moves.

But the judges say...so far so good. A couple of suggestions. Glad I don't have to, or can't even, vote. What a problem to pick. 6, 7, and an 8. Pretty good score.

I missed it again. Warren? Another athlete? Football player, I think. Pretty darned ood. Has natural moves that brings it alive and his body bends around pretty good. I'd say he's got lots of potential. Lot of character in his dancing. Appealing.

Judges...like him, fun and joy on the dance floor. 3 7s.

Show's over. I hate tomorrow. Elimination. But there's 3rd night this time. Another elimination. I really hate this whole week.

And why is this show on till 10:01? It's the weirdest tv time I've ever seen.

Guess what starts tonight?

That's right, no mystery. Dancing with the Stars.

There's several people on it I already like. Several I don't know.

Julianne's up with a stranger to me. He's some young guy I don't know who he is or what he does. Too young to be interesting.

Same judges. Very excellent. Same hosts. Excellent, too. Guess he danced ok...gots potential.

You know I'm waiting for Chloris Leachman and Susan Lucci. (sp? as usual)

All sixes for the first couple. Not too bad at all for the first day.

Rocko's up. I've seen him a bit on cooking shows and always liked him. He's not so bad, needs to smooth out some. Probably not a brilliant dancer, but a solid effort for the first time. Bruno's not impressed with technique, but good effort. Carryanne says it was cute and generally positive. Len, needs finess, but he's not too mean about it. Rocko really did pretty good. 2 fives and Len, a 4. Not total disaster. Hope he's saved. A good guy.

Stranger up next.
