Official Dancing with the Stars Season 7 Thread!

Kim Kardashian looked lifeless! That was painful to watch; seriously, I think I could do better. And I thought she has had plenty of opportunities to perform! At this point, I think Brook Burke is the one to beat, but I still haven't picked my favorite.

I fell asleep and missed the show last night.
I DVRed it, so I guess I will have to watch tonight. I'll check back in tomorrow and see what you guys thought.

 

[Mean Queen]

...was that the reincarnation of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo??!??!?

Reincarnation? I think Cloris is older than both of them ever got combined. But that was so funny I had tears in my eyes.

My favorites are Lance (though I don't like that Lacey girl because of her attempts to make herself famous by creating a relationship with David Cook), Brooke (as much as it pains me to see someone look like that after 4 kids), and Misty May (in large part because she's with Maks.) I do think everyone did better tonight with the exception of Kim Kardashian. Honestly, did she not know she needed a personality to do this? Her step-dad, Bruce Jenner, did a better job on the show than she did. And he was horrible. I really hope people don't vote to keep her on. It's just too painful.

Edyta was the only reason I watched....

 

[RUDisney]

I'm glad that Jeffrey is gone. He was definitely the weakest of the entire group. I hope Kim goes home tonight and then Susan Lucci and then Ted McGinley. The rest were at least entertaining. Susan Lucci looks like her collar bone is going to snap out from her skin. She's way too thin. I thought Cheryl looked better last night. Do you think it was her costume on Monday that made her look heavier? I'd like to be as "fat" as her.

I felt sorry for Kim. She had to stand there the whole show even though she wasn't necessarily in the bottom two. She's not an actress or singer or athlete, so she doesn't have the experience to draw from to just turn it on and get focused like the others. And also, unlike the others, she had to dance to a song about one of her body parts. Yes, I know it's one of the reasons she's "famous", but she's still human and she seemed really self-conscious and nervous out there. At least she remembered her steps! For God's sake, please get Cloris off of the show! Is she even really trying?! I won't be able to stand it if someone like Kim (who legitimately tries and is just nervous) gets kicked off before this old hag who doesn't know the dance or seriously cares about the judges criticisms/advice to get better.

Personally, Brooke looks like she is going to be really good. I've never cared for Lance and his partner has a lot to learn about what the judges are looking for in terms of choreography. I think they want to keep this a ballroom competition and not turn it into So You Think You Can Dance with celebrities.

Ok...I have finally caught up, thanks to my Tivo...thank goodness....I think at least 50% of what was there was commercials.

I thought that Cheryl looked bigger Monday night too. I really think it was the way her dress was cut though...she looked much better last night...sometimes I wonder what the costume designer was thinking with some of these.

I was surprised that Susan Lucci didn't do better...I figured with all of her concerts and broadway shows she would have done better. She was better at the balroom last night than the Latin the first night though. I agree about the skinny...she looks like she will break in half.

Who does the coreography and picks the songs? the Professional dancers? While Kim Kardashian's dance last night was entertaining, I think it would have been much better if it was a different song. I get the symbolism, but think t hat a song with a latin beat would have been a better choice, anp probably easier for a beginner to get into the latin feel with.

I think Brooke, Warren and Lance will do very well.

I believe the producers give the pro's the song and dance choices after the elimination to prepare for the next week. Then the pro's choreograph the routines themselves. There has been some debate that not all the pro's do their own choreography, but regardless they have to put together the routine either on their own or go find their own help.

Oh, and it was driving me nuts trying to remember the past NFL players from earlier discussion in the thread cause I knew we were missing someone.....Jason Taylor! So not a bad track record, Jason and Jerry Rice came in second and Emmet won.

I agree with this completely and I think that is what Carrie Ann was trying to get out. I don't really care for Kim, but I think she deserves to be in a few more weeks. They got their shock/entertainment value from Cloris, now get her off the show!!!!!!!

 

[Mickeyistheman]

I missed last night cause I was at a New Kids on the Block concert...

But I did hear who got cut and I have to say that I really think that Cloris should have been cut. She is not really trying and I don't think its fair to the others that are really trying to get cut becuase Cloris is funny. This is a dance competition not a comedy show....although sometimes it does feel that way.

I also DO NOT like Lances partner at all, she was a contestant on So you think you can dance and now they put her on this show and I don't think it suits her well.

She also made a comment on Monday that she was so excited to dance with Lance b/c she thought she had a shot with him, but not really now. Ummm sweetie, Lance has been out of the closet for the past few years....where have you been. I mean he even wrote a book about it. I thought that was uncalled for and it looked like it made Lance uncomfortable.

 

[troobabiee7]

Cloris was HYSTERICAL! I absolutely love her and hope she makes it far. I don't care if she can't dance, she's the most entertaining one on there

I don't think Cheryl looks big at all, I think she looks awesome. If anyone can stand to lose weight it's some of the guys on there (the celebrities, not the dancers). If Cheryl's "fat" then sign me up!

 

[julezdisney]

I didn't last too long before I fell asleep but I DID see Brooke Burke and she KILLED it! Not sorry to see that comedian guy go, but sad that Edyta is gone. I also think people will get sick of Cloris soon, although she is a RIOT!

And I heard from co-wokers Kim was awful. She was awful on the first night.

I took that comment to mean that she used to have a crush on him when he was in Nsync but knows there's not a chance now that she finally got to meet him.

I think Lacey has her own style, and I didn't always like her on SYTYCD, but I think she did a great job with choreography. I don't think she meant anything by the comment, and I didn't get the feeling that Lance was uncomfortable. It looks like they have great chemistry together.
