Dancing With The Stars Premier Thoughts
So “DWTS” premiered last night. I was able to watch the first hour live, had to Tivo the second as it interfered with “Heroes.”
Unlike last season, which I really wasn’t interested in the stars, I do like this season. I think the injury factor did in fact help to peak interest too. I am very sad Jewel is not competing as I love her to pieces!
Last night there were some amazing dancers. Lil Kim was really good, though I had to chuckle when she talked about the first time she saw the show was when she was in jail. It was odd to see her just talking about it as openly as she was.
Giles (the Sex and the City naked guy) seems to be the one to beat. I also chuckled when his partner kept telling him to be more manly!
I think poor Steve Wozniak or Jewel’s hubby will be the first to go. They just weren’t good. I would say Steve O might be there with them, but he has fans to vote for him. Woz might be kept around by the Apple fans for a bit, so we could see Ty go home.
I totally want to see David Alan Grier come out in his “Men on” outfit and do a dance to something like “It’s Raining Men.”
As for the newbs that had to come in and replace Jewel and Nancy O’Dell? Well I thought Holly was fun and great. Melissa I am just not sure I’m sold on. Sorry, she was on one reality show that just ended, I don’t know if I think of her as a star yet. However if she’s the new Bachelorette, well I could see how ABC would wanna use her to create more buzz for that show. Plus from the moment she started, you could see she had dance training. I guess that was also a plus, given she came in at the last minute.
The new Bachelorette has been announced–it’s Jillian Harris–the bachelorette from Alberta, Canada. I still think Melissa will bring in some viewers who were upset with the “Final Ending”! ABC is banking on the same viewers who have been watching the same time slot for the past few months and will be hoping for a “happy” Melissa. The fact that she has a dance background doesn’t hurt either.
Just my opinion.

I love shawn also. She is to cute. I think it’s brave of Melissa to join with only 2 days of practice. It’s hard stuff. I sure wouldn’t join if I only had 2 days to practice.
