Dancing With the Stars – The finale!

My girl Chelsea Kane got the shaft on not winning Dancing With the Stars this season. She was rooked. It was a fix. I’m mad as a hatter. It ain’t fair, and all the rest! And I wonder if the results would have been different had Hine’s partner Kym not injured herself.

So tonight I thought I’d share with you my random notes on the show. See, I take notes constantly while watching, and then drum it into a cohesive unit later. Usually. But. As I have to work at “dark thirty” tomorrow, I thought I’d do it differently this time, and share with you what I was jotting in “real time” while watching. Ya follow? Okee Dokee.

Let’s do bullet points. I like those …

• The Black Eyed Peas – I’ve finally understood their whole M.O. Feel good party music, plus weird costumes and lighted up background dancers equals Grammys.
• Return of the Failed Contestants – I’ll never get these additional minutes back, ABC. Never. There’s a reason we voted these folks off, and we remember why.
• Josh Groban – I bet his song with Petra dancing was nice, but I’ll never know. The husband always makes gagging noises and turns the channel whenever Josh appears. For the sake of keeping the peace, I make concessions sometimes, I admit.
• Chris Jericho and Wendy Wiliams do Comedy – Oh. Is that what it was? Yikes.
• Maks, Lacey, Cheryl and Chelsie dance to the Go Go’s – Now who in their right mind wouldn’t want to see Maks dressed as a cop and getting his uniform ripped off to a great Go Go’s tune? Finally, I’m having some fun!
• But then! – Some more dance recreations by past contestants. I have heartburn and chew Rolaids, while the husband changes to hockey. Don’tcha feel like you’re right here with me??
• Now we’re talkin’! – The final dances for the judges scores. Of course, everyone gets a perfect ten. Why not? They’ve each worked hard, it’s a feel good night. The judges would look heartless otherwise.
• Chelsea and Mark performed their (and my) favorite dance of the season, and it was impeccable.  Kirstie and Maks made a wise choice to showcase her dramatic weight loss and overall improvement by recreating their first cha-cha. And Hines and Kym are entertaining and charming as usual.
• Which is When – My husband turns to me and says, “At this point, I hope Kirstie wins it, just to f@#k it all up!” Pretzels, anyone?
• And finally – My girl Chelsea comes in third. Third?? Third??? I think my whole neighborhood heard me scream.

That’s when I went back and had to re-write the first paragraph. So, it just goes to show. You never know. And it just goes to show what it’s like to watch Dancing With the Stars minute by minute with me. Hey, I kind of like writing this way.

Until next season … may you have no wardrobe malfunctions, and your dances all be tens!
