Dancing With The Stars Recap… Who Shined the Brightest?

With such a colorful cast, there are so many favorites to choose from.  My favorites from last night?  Definitely… 

All of these dancers showed promise… all for different reasons.  Carson Kressley was completely hysterical in his funky chicken dancing with tons of glitter.  

J.R. Martinez was superb. 

  Chynna Phillips just nailed it on her first dance out.   

I think Rob Kardashian has the raw talent, he just needs to calm his nerves and let go. 

 David Arquette was a surprise of the night with his above par dancing.  I really enjoyed seeing Courteney Cox and Coco, their daughter, there to support him. 

 

 Who was the most controversial of the night?  Well, one can say that Ron Artest aka “World Peace” was a bit much, but I think that Chaz Bono and Lacey were the most anticipated couple of the night.  Their dance was okay, but I don’t see him lasting on the series for more than a couple of episodes.

Until next week…

Bachelor Pad 2 – September 5, 2011: Pick a Couple, Any Couple…

Now that Blake has ditched the bain of his existence, Melissa, he is coupled up the self-proclaimed “prettier-and-much smarter-than-Holly” Erica for the Nealy-Wed Game.   A confident Casey and Vienna go to bed without cramming for the competition.  Holly decides to be loyal to Michael for once in this season and keeps her promise to keep him as her partner for the game.   The greatest part of the Nearly-Wed game was discovering that the majority of the household hated Blake more than any other contestant.  Michelle and Graham win the game, are granted a dream date and are saved from elimination.    The 2nd place winners,  Blake and Erica are also awarded a dream date.  Blake cringes at the thought of it.

Graham and Michelle get swept away on a helicopter for a movie night in L.A.  While they were away, Casey and Vienna get into a lover’s spat about having sex.  Casey strips the promise ring from her finger until she puts out.   He threatens to leave the house (as his bags were apparently already packed) unless she comes downstairs to “cuddle” with him.   Reluctantly, she gives in.  In the meantime, Graham and Michelle share an ultimate, romantic date on the rooftop of  a building in L.A. while watching a private screening of What’s Her Number.

Blake and Erica are given an opportunity to make a connection.  Erica, in her infinite wisdom, has informed Blake that his flirtation with Holly is ruining their chances of winning as he is infuriating Michael.  So what is a girl to do?  Of course, her plan is to seduce him on their date and make Blake forget that he ever liked Holly.   They are swept away to the Mission Inn for an evening alone.  Erica puts the moves on Blake like a professional wrestler.   The best way to explain Blake’s reaction?  Scared straight!

So, Blake and Erica are given safety roses to give away to another couple.   Ella and Kirk were hoping for it, however Blake and Erica gave the roses to Casey and Vienna.  Ella was devastated and felt that their fate was sealed… they would be voted off for certain.  My gut told me that Blake would be going home for certain.  And, I was right.

Blake the Snake is gone for good!

 …Until next week…

Bachelor Pad 2 – August 30, 2011… What Did That Yogurt Do To You, Melissa?

I’m not sure which made for better television… Crazy Melissa Schreiber beating the heck out of her yogurt while experiencing an anxiety attack on national television or watching her completely losing it while waiting for “exactly 40 seconds” while Blake Julian completed his teeth brushing requirement.  Volcano Melissa was ineffective in preventing Blake from sweeping Holly away to Mammoth, CA for a snow-filled day and giving her the rose.

 I do know what made for sad television… watching Michael Stagliano going through the agony of spending the entire  night worrying about his beloved, naive Holly Durst in the arms of the user-abuser, Dr. Blake.  How can she not see through this guy?  Holly gave the song “Torn Between Two Lovers” an entirely new meaning.  She not only said “yes” to Blake’s date invitation, but she also stayed overnight with him in their little snow chalet where they supposedly “only kissed once.”  Holly returned to the bachelor pad where she swiftly found her way back into Michael’s arms and lips.   Note to readers:  it has been reported that the couple are currently dating and recently attended a Los Angeles wedding together.   Holly, Holly, Holly!

Dr. Blake could’ve better utilized his time giving our guard and ever-protector, Casey, a lesson in oral hygiene.  With the exception of his own girlfriend, Vienna, who “ooh’d and awwh’d” over his recognizable kisses, all of the Bachelor Pad ladies commented on the ultimate disgust they encountered in the form of his raunchy breath during the kissing contest.  He should have done them all the favor of honoring his girlfriend and bowing out of the contest… he would have spared the ladies of the horror of that nightmare!

My girl, Ella Nolan, brought home the winning trophy of “best kisser” for the ladies.  She chose a private, hot air balloon date with Kirk.  Although it’s always my luck that my favorites will not win, I am putting out hope against hope that she makes it to the finals.  Her story of losing her mother at the age of 13 to domestic violence was heart-breaking.

The Bachelor Pad 2: It’s Guard & Protect Your Heart Time…

It’s officially GUARD AND PROTECT YOUR HEART TIME…

Yes, he did say that while flexing his tattoo. 

I laughed so hard that I came up off the couch.  All for the love of his beloved sinking ship, Vienna.

For all of the ruthless backstabbing, ridiculous bragging, and childish antics, this show graced us with a wonderfully touching ending tonight.  Our true romantic, Aames stopped Jackie’s limo and rode off with her into the night sky.  $250K had nothing on Jackie… he won in something invaluable… love.  For that, congrats to ABC for 10 minutes of good television tonight.

Now… how do we figure out how they are paying the contestants off not to vote off Jake and Vienna?

In my next life, my job will be a producer for ABC working on The Bachelor/ette/Pad.  There’s no more guilty a pleasure!

My guess is that Jake Palvelka is voted off next week.

P.S.  Did y’all hear about  Ben (from Ashley’s season) went on a date with Jennifer Love Hewitt?  True True.

Bachelor Pad & Breaking A Million…

Lingering in my hangover from the THREE HOUR EPISODE of Bachelor Pad… I thought long and hard about writing a recap on last night’s saga.  However, in order to guard and protect my heart, I felt it best to let the ABC time filler speak for itself.  Even Chris Harrison joked about how long it was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.

And, why was I up so late for that?

Kids are gone on vacation and I can’t sleep without them.   2 hours of sleep last night and again tonight, I’m wide awake.

But, for those of you who caught last night’s episode… just how much of a villian are they making out Vienna to be!!!  My goodness.  I actually feel bad for her.  And… must state that I truly believe that Jake’s acting skills have developed so much.  Gia has perfected her hair flipping and I’m sure she must have an agent by now.  Rated-R is the biggest duffas-head I’ve ever seen.  What did his mother feed him as a child?  My hope is on Ella and Michael!

I’m admitting… a total waste of time… but, such a guilty pleasure.

P.S. – Broke a million visits.  THANK YOU, READERS!
