Dancing With the Stars weeks 1 and 2

Posted by Suzanne - April 1st, 2008

Hi readers

I bet you have been wondering why i have had nothing to say about this programme? I thought I would let it “bed in” a bit first before forming any opinion. So, here we go!

I am not going to bother writing about everyone (who is who, and who is with who) etc - you can find that out from anywhere - but the ones that stand out so far for me are:-

The Bad

Julie Anne/Adam Corolla I think it is fair to say she wont be winning the treble! I didnt like him much last week, thought he was a bit cocky, but this week he didnt seem to be quite as full of himself, so thats a start! Foxtrot was dire, Mambo - better! -loved her green dress!

Kim/Penn Poor Kim. The best bet was when he broke the bar in the training room! I didnt like his voodoo doll thing, i thought he was rude to the judges and I didnt like at the end when he would not dance properly and kim had to walk away from him! I think to be fair though, he was always going to find it tough - big tall people always do!

Steve - he is a darling, but he dances like my dad!

Monica - Poor girl never stood a chance. She looked wracked with nerves, and was as far removed from what she is used to than she could be.. Good for her though for trying. She will be missed.

I like watching all the people who don’t find dancing comes naturally! It makes it clear just how hard it is to actually dance well!

The good

Kristi Yamaguchi - could win, but probably wont! i think her lifetime of ice skating experiience will count against her, as traditionally people vote for those who dont have an advantage. I am unsure how much she really has, but i know people perceive her in this way.

Shannon Elizabeth - One of my favourites. I loved her cha-cha, and her quickstep was amazing. I dont know if it was good technically, but as a viewer, it was a joy to watch.

None of the others have made much of an impact on me yet.

back soon!
