Tonight was a double elimination and I don’t normally start with the end in mind, but tonight I will. Bye Bye Penn Jillette and Monica Seles. I normally blog as I watch, but not tonight. I had better things to do which was work out while I watched. So, my laptop stayed upstairs on the couch (that couch potato) and I went downstairs and worked my big butt off while watching Dancing with the Stars.

So, I have to say I told ya so, because ya know I did. Read my last blog I did tell ya so. Bye Bye Bye to Monica and Jonathon and Penn and Kym. Sorry, but this was a little bit too predictable. I loved how they threw in Marissa Jaret Winokur and Christian de la Fuente as the Bottom two to make us think Penn and Monica were staying. Heck, I was kind of doubting the Monica elimination because I got to thinking well, people know the name Monica Seles more than Marissa Jaret Winokur so maybe Monica will stay. Well sorry, nope, the name had nothing to do with it - it was the dancing folks.

I felt this results show just was too drawn out tonight. Just get to it already. I mean c’mon two performances by the Jonas Brothers aka ‘Mmmm Bopping’ Hanson from the 90’s. All I know is those brothers have wayyyy too much hair. Hair on their head, hairy eyebrows, hairy sideburns - ick if you ask me. The one on the piano during their last song reminded me of Peter Brady singing “Time to Change” when his voice cracks all the time. I tell ya, the piano man will have a tough time after he goes through puberty. I honestly am sick of the Jonas Brothers because they are on the radio every damn morning - can I get away from them? Let’s hope so! Did you hear the teenie bopper screams in the audience tonight - ugh! But yeah, you’re right, Bridge, it does remind me when I was in love with Donnie from the New Kids on the Block. I don’t think I screamed like that though. I was more of a crier…ya know, the weepy little teenie bopper. Ahh..the memories.

And yes, thank God, someone agrees that Steve Guttenberg is a little too darn nice and making one sick. Gawd, is someone drugged up on a happy pill or something? Are you kidding me, man? Perhaps he is really like that, but I have a feeling drugs are involved. Oh, you know I’m only kidding - I don’t have proof, but one can’t be THAT happy all the time and love life like THAT all the time. Geez. If he is naturally like that more power to him and tell me what does that to you?

Let’s see - who else? I agree that Kristi Yamaguchi will have to step it up in the personality department. I am still shocked that she did so well in latin. I’m so happy that Adam Carolla and Julianne Hough were saved this week. I really want to see what Adam can pull out of that Frankenstein body of his. Oh and I had it picked (yep, read my last blog and weep, people) that Edyta and Jason would be dancing the encore dance. I had that pegged, baby. I kept going back and forth between Shannon Elizabeth and Jason Taylor, but I picked right. Am I just that good or is it becoming too predictable? Hmmm…the jury is still out on that. Can you tell that I’m feeling cocky tonight. I am. Sorry if you are offended. I’m not really sorry though.

I did like the Macy’s dancers - Macy’s has dancers? I don’t know what that whole Macy’s thing is, but oh well. It was a lot of acrobatics tonight and that tiny girl was just flying through the air. I bet it was really awesome to see that live. They danced to Meatloaf’s “I’d do anything for love, but I won’t do that.” I was thinking “you’re right, I won’t do that (referring to the acrobatics)”

I loved the Jive to the Jonas Brothers first song. Edyta, Tony, and the other two escapes me. I was thinking hmmm..poor Edyta can’t dance with her hubby this season. I’m sure he’ll be back during one of the group dances - just like Maksim will be. Let’s hope. I wonder if Maksim is missing this season or glad he doesn’t have to come up with the choreography week after week. I know one thing I don’t miss is his cockyiness (not sure if that was spelled right or not - it looks right).

The Jonas Brothers sang “When You Look Me In the Eyes” and Louis Van Amstel and Cheryl Burke did a Rhumba. It was sexy, fast, and sensual. I love Louis and Cheryl together. They dance a lot together on the tour so it is nice to see them do so on the show.

With the Rhumba and the Jive that were performed tonight are they giving us a preview of the dances from next week? Are we in for a treat in seeing Jason Taylor Jive? Hmmm? All I know is the Jive is my favorite dance followed closely by the Quick Step. I used to not like the quickstep because it just seemed like a lot of hopping and running around the stage, but Helio’s Quickstep in the banana outfit really made me appreciate and love that dance.

I can’t believe they didn’t give us Kenny Mayne - we got Cameron Mathison in his Superman costume. I bet Bridget was eatin’ it up, eh? I thought the bit was rather funny especially that “senior citizen” (I put that in quotes because she wasn’t old enough to be considered a senior citizen) who shook her stuff on camera. I was dying at that. All I could think of was my Mom and I know she’d never embarrass herself like that on camera. That poor lady! Then that lady who couldn’t say Cristian de la Fuente even after about 10 times. Cameron wasn’t overly obnoxious so it wasn’t a bad bit, but I would have appreciated seeing Kenny Mayne and Jerry Rice on Dance Center more. I just love those two. With Lisa Rinna added in it was super funny. Let’s hope we are treated to them again this season.

I’m really getting into this season - after two weeks in. So far my favorite to watch is Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth and Julianne and Adam (because you’ve just got to laugh everytime you look at them). I know that Adam Carolla won’t be around very long, but hey, let’s enjoy him while he is here. Oh, and of course I love Edyta Sliwinska and Jason Taylor. He certainly will give Kristi Yamaguchi a run for her money that is for sure. I didn’t see it coming with Jason, but boy is he easy on the eyes and a good dancer. I expect great things from him. It’s gonna be a great season.
