Judge me

But I LOVE Dancing With the Stars. I have for the past 3 years or so, and have watched every season since Kristi Yamaguchi won. I honestly didn't understand why my parents liked it so much, and then I tuned in one night to see what the fuss was about...and I fell in love. In 2009 for my 22nd birthday, my parents and I went to Orlando to see the DWTS Tour. I was head over heels. It really was a lot of fun.

I am an avid watcher, and I make sure to be home every Monday night to see them dance. Last season, I even made Wade watch with me (normally only when Kyle Massey was on with Lacey - he finds her super attractive and thinks she has a great butt, but if it'll get him to watch with me then yes yes yes) and sometimes he would tune in for the whole show. It makes me happy, so he does it. (However, I am emotionally invested in American Idol this season because of him, so it's kind of like "you do what I like, and I'll do what you like" kind of deal) It's always nice to watch it with someone, especially when they kind of start to enjoy it after a bit.

Anyway, I would like to say that although there have been better seasons with more "quality" stars, the stars on this season are wonderfully talented. Chelsea Kane (the main reason I am excited for this season) is so talented it makes me jealous! But the judges are not giving her the props that she deserves (and Mark too, one of the most contemporary and interesting choreographers). I'm very upset with their scoring, especially when they have given Kirstie Alley higher scores (she's good but Chelsea has more energy and is better). It makes me want to think that the show is rigged.

Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas - Jive to "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic! At the Disco

Here is their dance. It had tons of jive moves, like Mark says at the end of the video, but since it was a little too "weird" and wasn't "jive-y" the whole time she got poor scores. It makes me so mad. I voted for her because I admire her.

Another stand-out to me is Kendra! She's very talented. She's a little rigid sometimes, but she does a wonderful job. She can get the choreography down very easily, but she has to let herself shine a little and open up her personality more to the dance. She could really make it far. She can move so well and she looks so great doing it. Her Cha-Cha from last week was outstanding; I was very surprised!

Here is her quickstep. I thought she flowed beautifully. She reminds me of Kelly Osbourne. I will admit, though, the song choice was awful.

And my last pick of the night has to go to Chris Jericho. He kind of reminds me of Wade. He's very down to earth and really funny all the time. Plus, he is LIGHT YEARS ahead of where he was last week. I don't know what happened! His frame was lovely and I think it was the best dance of the night, although no one else seems to agree. I hated his Cha-Cha; I feel like Cheryl has lost sight of what this show is about and makes the dances more about herself. Also the song was awful and they had stupid outfits. It just didn't suit him because it suited her more. I used to really like her too. Oh well.

Anyway here is their dance. I was floored and I cheered at the end because I was so surprised! It had a classic feel to it and the song wasn't stupid. It was very nice for a quickstep and he did AMAZING.

The results show is on tonight at 9... I really hope my three favorites stay on. I'm worried for Chelsea because her fan base might not be big enough, and the judges did not like her Jive. But I'm hoping she stays so that I can watch happily next week.
