The Ridiculous Behavior of Dancing With the Stars Fans

First the dude with the gun shooting his television when Bristol advanced on Dancing With the Stars causing a 15-hour standoff with the Po-Po!!  NOW white powder in an envelope?!  Come on people!  Is this competition really THAT important?!  Believe me, I am a HUGE fan of the show!  As a matter-of-fact (as lame as it sounds) it's in my top 5.  I will "SHHHHH!!!" people if they are talking during the critique and the scoring...and yes, even Brook's painful attempt at interviewing.  (Bless her heart) I vote like crazy (phone lines AND abc.com) I "live tweet" for fans to vote for (this season) Brandy & Maks.  I even have a twibbon of them on my Twitter Picture! 


I noticed the "white powder" story when I turned on my computer and saw this headline:  "Was Bristol Palin Targeted in Dancing White Powder Scare?"  All I could do was just shake my head. 



Come on folks...just get over it!  This is just getting pitiful.  What's done is done.  They just happened to put someone in who has a lot of fans.  Chalk it up to a disappointing end to Season 11



My advice to the Producers of DWTS:  Because there are a lot of fans who feel as if they've been cheated - I have heard/read many people declare that they won't be watching anymore.  I suggest that for Season 12 they need a MAJOR cast.  Perhaps an All-Stars?  Bring back Mel B I would love to see Emmet or even Gilles!  Avoid bringing back the obnoxious; (Kate Gosslin). 



Come on Dancing With the Stars - redeem the show.

That's my fabulous opinion

Dancing With The Stars

I just knew what was going to happen Tuesday night.  Believe me, I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.  As far as me and the other 8,000 of Brandy & Maks fans go - they should have won!!  Not only because we're die hard fans, but we also know that Brandy was making great strides week after week!!  Only a few short weeks ago I thought that BranDMC were going to go home with the Mirror Ball Trophy, until some of the "better" dancers started dropping off one at a time! 


At the beginning of this season I said: "I appreciate where Bristol and her family are coming from... as far as a change of scenery, but she is opening up she and her family to some serious ridicule!"  Look at the whole "Booing in the ballroom" incident!  So many viewers, (mostly haters of Sarah Palin) swore up and down that the "booing" was at her.  Those of us who are REAL fans of the show knew that the booing was toward the judges and their "8" scores given to Jennifer & Derek.  Like Carrie-Ann, I agreed - 8's are really good scores for the first couple of weeks!   


I'm not sure if this is the Sanjiah effect (American Idol).  There was this whole push to keep the poor guy and his lack of talent in the competition - it seems as if the same thing is happening with BristolSOMEHOW each week she is getting pushed through!  Many people are planning on the Republicans or whatnot - but I'M a Republican and I gave my votes to the BEST dancers!!


If Bristol DOES win this year, I will most-likely be REALLY upset....however, I will continue to watch the show!  Hopefully, Maks will return with another great partner and will finally win!!


That's My Fabulous Opinion

The Fashion Show - ultimate collection

What better way to start a review than with a little TMI!
I had to wake up at the ungodly time of 4:30 this morning.  Hubby needed to get up and out the door, so I did the get-him-up-and-out-the-door thing.  Needless to say, by the time I got the kids to school I was ready to drop. 


So, when I got home, I wrapped up in a blanket (no snuggie for this girl), flipped on the tv and fell asleep to people styling hair with peanut butter, flour, squid, etc. 
When I woke up, I was looking at people introducing themselves and how fabulous they are and what clothes they have designed.  I said to myself, "Uh oh, this is the show I said I really didn't care about watching.... However, the mesmerizing song of the SIREN sucked me in....Teeeeerrrrryyyyy...realllllitttty ssshhhooooowwww! I figured, Okay, what the heck.


I think I can basically sum up this whole show by saying:  SERIOUSLY?

When the designers arrived at the studio, they were asked to choose a "sewing kit" in which had a number.  The designer then paired up with the anorexic-amazon model of the same number.  The designer then had to dress their model in a garment which "best represents them as a designer".    They had a quickie fashion show and at the end, all of the models were split in half striking their best pose when Iman himself....whoops HERself gingerly walked down the runway as if she was going to pull a Naomi Campbell  and wipeout!  Either that or she was concerned about breaking a hip!  (After all - according to her Bio she DID start her career in 1975.) On a side note.... I tried searching youtube for a clip of the infamous NC fall - they had it, but I didn't want to see a whole interview - however, I found something just as (maybe more) funny!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyqyLWeRQeo


I don't know who these guys are, but they're FAH-NEE!!


Okay - back on track: (Iman walking onto the runway...walking slow to protect her geriatric bones...looking cranky)

The designers were "OMG'ing"  like little school girls who were looking at the most popular girl in school hoping to be noticed by her!  Then she spoke:"MINIONS! MAKE ME YOUR MUSE!"

Seriously?

Oooooooooooookay.  "I want you to capture all of my sides...my glamorous side...my fun side.." I burst out laughing at that, just because I thought she was being sarcastic..and I love sarcasm.  The more I watched, the more I realized that she was dead serious!!  Fun side?  Seriously? She barely cracked a smile!!

Just this amount of time into the show I was really missing Heidi Klum and the best prissy man on this planet Tim Gunn. Sorry, but Isaac Mizrahi is a poor man's Tim.


The designers were divided up into two "teams".  They had to come up with some quasi-clever name.  One was "NAMI (oooo. knock my socks off with originality.)  and the second team was something lik Syx...something or other.  There is always a single person who stands out from the crowd by being original, funny, stylish or just a jerk.  Well...this show has the biggest diva of them all!!  Unfortunately, you have to read the subtitles to understand what kind of diva he is!  Yes, I'm talking about Tomato-tomato Calvin Tran.   He wanted to be on his own and he was going to let everyone know it...in subtitles!!  The syx house had some nice pieces, but wasn't fabulous....as lame as a name is, they had their sewing kits ruffled (which by the way, there was an overabundance of!)


At the end tomato-tomato was left standing along side Francine who had kind of a pretty dress, but not pretty enough.  The question the glamazon brought forth: The person with the bad dress...or the person with the bad attitude?  At that time I was jumping up and down on the couch going, "I know!! I know!!!  Ooo!! I know!!! Why send the person home with the tomato-tomato attitude!?  We need drama!!  Well, drama they kept!!!  Seriously?!
Yup, seriously!

So, this is my first and last time watching and writing about this show.  I just had to tell the world what kind of disaster I thought it was!!!!
