This is probably the best cast of
dancers I have seen yet. Everyone did
very well and some were outstanding. The
classical singer Katherine and Erkel (Jaleel White) were really terrific. Sadly Katherine (whose name I don’t recall)
is not at all well known so with a small fan base she will probably go
early. It’s not the fairest way to
eliminate the stars but I suppose we have to accept how it is. Sherry and Gladys Knight surprised me with
their ability; Sherry in particular was so glowing and happy to be there it was
fun to watch her.
Okay
so this was the foxtrot and cha cha night and I can do these dances. In P.J.s and night slippers I practiced the
steps on a 3 foot square of space while the critters hunched up on tables,
chair backs and wondered “what on earth is she doing now?” Cherie sneaked away and lay dozing in the
living room during commercial break. I
crept noisily up to him and he tried to escape me but I scooped him up and
started fox-trotting him through the kitchen.
His ears were laid flat back, his eyes were starting out of their
sockets but he lay limply in my arms. He
was torn between leaping out when I loosed him or showing off to Thumper that
he was my favourite. I could clearly see
the conflict and I knew exactly what he was thinking as he looked over at
Thumper who was suddenly sitting at attention and glaring at us.
I
have to say that I sure have fun with my critters. Arnold and Harold were both slouched over the
sofas looking wearily at us. They were
probably thinking “thank God we are too big for her to do that to us”. And I’m thinking “wait until the waltz, then
you will get yours”.
This
is the only “reality” show that I watch because it is interactive and there is
really no nastiness unless you count Len’s perfectionist criticisms as
mean. This is honest entertainment. (But I thought they were not fair in judging Melissa Gilbert so low, I thought she was great).
These are the Ecuadorian dancers we saw last year.
