I am totally loving this season, are you?  Brooke Burke was D-I-V-I-N-E.  The kiss to her daughter at the end of her dance brought a tear to my eye.  Seeing the behind-the-scenes footage of her and Derek really brings to light the emotion behind all the stress of preparing for a dance and juggling their lives and work.

Warren Sapp is just the sweetest guy, isn’t he?  Maurice Greene was also outstanding.  It’s breaking my heart to see Rocco Dispirito struggle.  He is a gem.  I love his smile and personality and physique.  It would be sad to see him go, but I don’t know how big his fan base is compared to others.  I would have thought Kim Kardiashian had a big enough fan base to keep her in the game.

So tonight we learn how they will compensate for Misty May-Treanor’s untimely departure.  Lots of rumours are speculating that they will bring Kim Kardashian back, but I find that hard to believe.  First of all, sorry to say, her dancing was not very good.  On top of that, how would they justify bringing her back, but not someone like Ted McGinley (who was not that bad). 

If you noticed last night, Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend/ex-girlfriend/girlfriend in transition was in the audience.  I wonder if she will be asked to join or will they just modify the show’s format to accomodate this glitch?

Who do you think will go tonight?

So Ted McGinley is out??  I really can’t believe it.  But it’s all about fan base isn’t it?  I really like her, and no offence, Kim K, but your dancing put me to sleep.  Seriously it can’t just be me right?  But her butt will keep her in the race. 

And although I’m all for older folks getting their equal share I have to say Cloris Leachman needs to tone it down a bit.  How did she stay on and Ted McGinley is off?  I’m a little surprised her fan base is that much wider than Ted’s.

He tells OK! Magazine:

I’m an old dude,” he sighed. “I represent the men who are sitting there — they’re not going to get up and vote. My people aren’t necessarily tech-savvy. I think they’re happy to have me back on the couch where I belong.”

“I was expecting disaster from the judges and Len [Goodman] started off saying something really kind and sweet. I felt so exhilarated and I was very proud of myself.”

But Ted said, ultimately, he learned, “I’m a sh**ty dancer!”
