Dancing With The Stars: Week 8 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
With only five dancers left last night, the competition was really anyone’s game. If voting was based solely on competence alone, yesterday’s Bottom Three (Marie, Cameron and Jennie) should have been justifiably nervous tonight. Unfortunately, it’s already been proven that high-scorers like Helio and Melanie could easily be knocked off Sabrina-style due to lack of viewer support.
Well, tonight’s Dancing With The Stars elimination was note the type to set off major shockwaves. Although Cameron Mathison seemed to be making large strides in the past few weeks, his dance card average (24.5 points) was barely higher than that of last night’s lowest scorer, Marie Osmond (24.1 avg).
Maybe Mathison - who still has his day(time) job to turn to - should look at this as a mixed blessing. Now he doesn’t to accrue more frequent fliers believing he ever had a chance against Helio.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 8
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
The Final Five competitors were each two dances away from next week’s semi-finals. Read on to see how they fared tonight:
JENNIE GARTH (partner Derek Hough)
(Dance: Jive/ Song: ‘It Takes Two’)
Something about Jennie’s green-sequined outfit tonight screams mermaid to me. (Tom Bergeron said her outfit made him crave frozen vegetables.) I think she looks incredibly awkward with this fast-paced dance. She seems a bit wobbly and a little sloppy overall. Len said that the dance wasn’t one of her best; he wasn’t sure the performance was worthy of a berth in the semi-finals. Bruno said Jennie wasn’t as sharp as she should have been. Carrie Ann said she lacked good posture and clean pump action. Score: 8/8/8 (24)
CAMERON MATHISON (partner Edyta Sliwinska)
(Dance: Viennese Waltz/ Song: ‘Harry Potter Theme’)
Cameron and Edyta make a beautiful pair tonight. I really like his grey tux/tails and her pink gown is gorgeous. He looks very confident with this dance and his lines look great. Bruno said it was majestic and sweeping. Carrie Ann complimented his great lines and holds. Len praised their beautiful rotations. Score: 9/9/9 (27)

Dancing With the Stars: Week 7 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Features,
Despite the palpable tension, Dancing With The Stars felt weirdly anti-climactic tonight. Seriously—how could anything surpass last week’s results shocker? Any dancer eliminated from this point forward had to have known their day could come.
Of the Final Six competitors, only three have managed to avoid the Bottom Two (Helio, Jennie and Marie). The remaining three (Jane, Mel, Cameron) have only faced elimination once. So who ended up getting the glowing red light tonight?
Hoping to keep us on our toes, the DWTS producers decided to change things up a bit tonight. Instead of the usual Bottom Two—there was a Final Three: Helio, Jennie and Jane. Thankfully when the dust finally settled, we were left with a controversy-free elimination. Having earned the lowest score the past two weeks, Jane Seymour had to admit it was her time to go.

Another Death Affects ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Family
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, News,
Another week, another unfortunate story for the participants of Dancing With The Stars.
Early this morning, Marie Osmond’s 90-year-old father, George, passed away. Just last night, Donny Osmond was on Entertainment Tonight talking about a large family reunion scheduled for later this week. Members of the 125-member clan were being flown into Chicago for a special appearance on Oprah. Friday’s episode is now currently up in the air (as is Marie’s attendance on tonight’s DWTS results show).
This news comes one month after Jane Seymour’s mother died in England. Marie Osmond often commented that she and Jane had bonded over this tragedy; Marie lost her own mother, Olive, just three years ago.
Of course, bad news has not been limited to the dancers on the show—several DWTS performers have experienced family emergencies as well. Gloria Estefan cancelled her performance last month after her mother suffered an intestinal rupture. The following week, Jennifer Lopez was forced to adjust her taping schedule when her grandmother passed away.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 7
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Features,
The Final Six competitors performed two full dances tonight—a ballroom and a Latin number (no group dances this time around). Read on to see how they fared:
HELIO CASTRONEVES (partner Julianne Hough)
(Dance: Tango/ Song: ‘The Jean Genie’)
Helio looks like he’s wearing a black, crushed-velvet version of something from The Love Boat. He’s very stiff and awkward tonight, though it’s hard to tell if the jacket or his dancing is to blame. Len complained about Helio’s lack of ‘heel leads’. Bruno said the technical aspects of the dance needed more polish. Carrie Ann really liked the performance; she thought it was a nice twist on the tango. Score: 9/8/8 (25)
MARIE OSMOND (partner Jonathan Roberts)
(Dance: Quickstep/ Song: ‘Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy’)
Marie looks great—I could really see her as an Andrews Sister. It’s obvious she’s having a lot of fun with her dance tonight; I think this style suits her well. Bruno said her performance was a morale booster. Carrie Ann thought it was wonderful. Len said entertainment runs through Marie’s veins; he liked that she put a lot of twist into her dance. Score: 10/9/9 (27)

Sabrina Bryan Confirms ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Romance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, Rumors,
Let’s just call it the worst-kept secret since Jennifer Lopez’s pregnancy.
On last week’s elimination show, Dancing With The Stars viewers heard Sabrina Bryan drop the words ‘love’ and ‘baby’ when referring to partner Mark Ballas. The audience also witnessed a suspiciously tight embrace when the did their final dance. And while anyone could have smelled a romance a mile away, Sabrina and Mark spent the whole week dodging coupledom questions (while holding hands) on the various talk shows. Thankfully, TV Guide has ferreted out the truth putting the rumors to rest once and for all: Sabrina and Mark are dating!!!
Now can I go back to being Cheetah Girl-ignorant again?

- Beauty and the Geek (2.3 million, 1.1/3) was down almost a million.
9pm
- At 18.8 million, Dancing With The Stars (4.3/10 in 18-49 demo) had the hour’s largest audience.
- House (17.2 million, 7.0/17) still outperformed in the demos.
- The Unit (2.8/7) came in third with 8.1 million viewers.
- CW’s Reaper (2.5 million, 1.1/3) was about even with last week.
10pm
- Thanks to a repeat on NBC, Boston Legal (11.2 million, 3.0/8 in 18-49 demo) had the hour’s best audience.
