What's With Changing the Encore Dance on Us, Judges?

Heh!  On Monday night Len said he wanted to see Derek and Joanna's Lambada as the encore dance.  On Tuesday, he wanted to see Melissa and Mark's Charleston.  I'd be seriously ticked off if I were Derek and Joanna!

Well...that was about it for drama on the results show this week.  Two boring filler segments containing shocking revelations, such as:

--It's stressful to be standing under the red light listening to the scary music during elimination.  Who knew?
--Some of the stars have cute kids.  Some of the stars have kids that threaten other stars with comments like "our dad can beat up your dad".  Yawn.

Was there no Macy's Stars of Dance this week?  Even they can't stretch to find something not even vaguely related to ballroom dancing to put on for their regular segment?  Fine with me!

Shakira sang twice...without any professional dancers dancing around showing off how good they can be when they aren't forced to dance with clumsy "stars".  That's usually the only redeeming quality about the musical guests!  Geez.  Were the female Asian drummers and the belly dancers supposed to be our dance connection?  A serious disappointment.

And then we wasted more time revealing the next "Bachelor".  Jake somebody or another will star in the upcoming season of "The Bachelor...On the Wings of Love".  Whatever.  He looks like a total drip and like he's scared to death of the cameras.  This should be fascinating, huh?

The highlight of the show...and something I'd like to see done every week...was the professional dancers demonstrating the two dances we'll be seeing next week--the Argentine Tango and the Paso Doble.  I find it fascinating...and the stars find it terrifying...so why not make this a regular segment? 

Samantha looked fabulous in her red satin ballgown.  I swear that's the only reason they keep her on the show--she looks good in a ballgown.  We all know it's not for her hard-hitting interviewing skills and fascinating commentary!  Let's see...my favorite was probably, "Don't worry.  A lot of people are always trying to interpret what the judges are saying."  Yep--that's some hard-hitting journalism there!

Are we ready to see them "do the Hustle" this week?   Bring it on!
