It can’t be helped; tonight, i am going to miss Dancing With The Stars. It is my guilty pleasure to watch this show. I look forward to the season; when it is out of season. I need to run to the airport to pick up my hubby from a business trip. He is more important than watching television…but, on the other hand, i am glad that Dancing With The Stars always has a recap on Tuesday nights, of the show the night before. This way, i can catch up…since i am going to miss it tonight. I hate to have to miss it; in it’s first showing…but, at least i will get to see the stars in action tomorrow night.
Since this is the second week of the season, i hope that they haven’t changed their formula from the previous season…or, i will be very disappointed. The early stages of the season…it is supposed to run fairly predictable with who leaves week by week according to skill or lack of skill…although, some have fallen for Cloris Leachman’s personality; and, kept her on a week or so longer than they should have in my opinion. No matter, in a few short weeks, the true competitors will be in place and you will begin to see real growth in those who remain in the competition. In the meantime, the show is an enjoyment for the most part.
In having Cloris, the oldest competitor in the history of Dancing With The Stars…maybe they should have called it Risky Business! After all, a fall could be serious business for someone who is in their 80’s. It is somewhat inspirational to have her set an example of remaining active in body and spirit when we age; however, Cloris has set a bad example with her behavior and her salty language.
Maybe Dancing With The Stars should have a clause in their agreement with the entertainers on standards of behavior allowed on the television show; since it is watched by families with young children as audience members.
