Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 1 Loser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars,
When you don’t have a soap opera fan base supporting you, a large asset on you or eighty years of living behind you—chances are, you’re going to be eliminated. And that was precisely the case for Ted McGinley.
Tonight on Dancing with the Stars: Season 7, the Love Boat/Married with Children/Hope & Faith/Happy Days star was asked to leave the parquet floor. His elimination came one day after comedian Jeffrey Ross was sent home with only one eye.
Although McGinley was not the competition’s lowest scorer - his his combined total of 35 bested Cloris Leachman’s 32 - no one expected the feisty octogenarian would be going anywhere quite so soon. And while he was technically tied with Susan Lucci and lazy Kim Kardashian coming into this evening, his charm was outmatched by their appeal.

Dancing with the Stars 7: Week 1, Day 2
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Editorial, Features,
Last night, Dancing with the Stars: Season 7 kicked off with a jam-packed premiere.
All 13 couples - including 2 injured dancers - attempted either a Cha Cha Cha or a Foxtrot. After Round 1, actress/model Brooke Burke was sitting in the lead with a score of 23 while comedian Jeffrey Ross was resting at the bottom with an embarrassing 12. (Even Adam Carolla managed to get a 15 at this point last year.)
Tonight, 12 of the pairs were given one more chance to win voters over before Wednesday’s second elimination. Who proved they were worth saving…and who asked to be sent home? Read on!

Monday Ratings: Heroes Season Premiere Down
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Dancing With The Stars, Heroes, Prison Break, Ratings,
So much for trying to start over again. Although Heroes did its best to bring viewers back, the former NBC hit saw a 25% decline from last year’s premiere. In fact, the show tied its lowest numbers for an original episode to date. The Peacock’s competitors did nicely though. ABC was the most-watched network of the night while CBS had the best demos.
8pm
- Dancing with the Stars (5.3/13 in 18-49) debuted to 21.1 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (3.6/10) returned to 9.4 million; How I Met Your Mother (9.7 million, 4.0/10) did even better.
- A Heroes clip show (2.6/7) had 6 million watching.
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (5.8 million, 2.2/6) was up 300,000.
- Gossip Girl (3.4 million, 1.6/4) took a 300,000 hit.

Last night, Dancing with the Stars premiered with its largest - and most interesting - cast so far. In addition to having the series’ youngest and oldest competitors to date, the seventh installment also boasts two Olympians and several interesting rivalries.

For the show’s first night, all 13 couples each performed one dance. They will then follow that up with another routine on Tuesday. Come Wednesday, the program’s first two celebrities will be eliminated.
So how did the new hoofers stack up? Read on!

- Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm): Special two-hour premiere. “The season begins with 13 new celebrities.” Any time a reference is made about Kim Kardashian’s butt or cut foot, take a drink.
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9pm): “Charlie runs into an ex-girlfriend whose son bears a striking resemblance to him.” As if Charlie Sheen really needed to get involved in another custody issue.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Special two-hour premiere. “Suresh makes an important breakthrough.” It’s taken him two seasons to realize how boring his character is.
- Worst Week (CBS, 9:30pm): Series premiere. “Disaster-prone Sam Briggs, and his girlfriend, Melanie, visit her parents – who don’t like Sam – to tell them that they are engaged and expecting a child.” It’s always good to get the disappointing news out all at once.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Gossip, News,
The official lineup for Dancing With the Stars was announced earlier today by Tom Bergeron.
And while history has seen rumors proven horribly wrong, parts of this season’s list were accurately predicted long before.
For the show’s seventh installment, we’ll actually start off with an uneven 13 contestants. This will lead to a double-elimination in the reality hit’s very first week. We’ll also see the oldest and youngest performers in the program’s history.

The Latest Dancing with the Stars Rumors
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Rumors,
Since our last report two weeks ago, the latest Dancing with the Stars rumors have been dished out a rapid pace. And we still have another two weeks to go until the final cast is announced!
According to TMZ, Toni Braxton will be one of the competitors hitting the floor this fall. If the buzz is true, this decision would be very interesting considering the singer’s recent issues. Braxton was forced to cancel her Las Vegas show back in May citing health reasons. (While the specific problem was not revealed, Toni has been treated for hypertension and pericarditis in the past.)

Celebs Turning Down Dancing with the Stars
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Dancing With The Stars, Rumors,
Although we’re still weeks away from finding out Dancing with the Stars’ next lineup, speculation about the latest cast has been growing for months.
Already we’ve heard about Paula Abdul’s interest and Lance Bass’ possible male partner. Just recently Kim Kardashian’s name was even thrown into the mix. And while there are many D-Listers who would kill for a chance to revive their career, there are some D-Listers who apparently don’t want to risk the embarrassment.
In an interview with Extra, comedienne Kathy Griffin admitted that she had received a “hard offer” to compete on ABC hit. Surprisingly, she doesn’t intend to accept. “No! I can’t even touch my toes!” (Isn’t this the kind of publicity she would normally force her assistants to create?) Meanwhile, a rep for Dan Quayle also confirmed that the former VP had been approached about the show. (He, thankfully, declined the request as well.)

Hosting Quintet for 60th Annual Primetime Emmys
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Bravo, CBS, FOX, NBC, American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, Survivor, News,
If you hated 2007’s Emmy Awards coverage, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news? The theater-in-the-round crap will be gone. (At least, I hope.) The bad news? Ryan Seacrest will once again be hosting. Though, in this case, he’ll be getting a little bit of help.
Instead of burdening one person with the ringleader task, the ceremony’s producers will be doling out the responsibility to five this time around. After all - who better to host a broadcast than the nominees for Outstanding Reality Host?
For the 60th Annual Primetime Emmys, those up for this year’s new category - Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal), Jeff Probst (Survivor) and Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) - will coincidentally be representing five different networks. Could this mean a much wider audience for ABC? They better hope so. Otherwise, one of them could be eliminated…
This fall’s telecast will be broadcast from Los Angeles on September 21.
