DWTS Season 12 Week 10 Finals Week

WOOHOO!! It's freestyle week, yeeeaaahh!!!!

I had planned on blogging with each dance, but it's just been too exciting for me to do that lol! I'm having a blast, so far, so let's get into dissecting the dances, shall we?

First to dance was Chelsea and Mark who got a little help during the week from Carrie Ann. I'm not sure Chelsea needed her help, to be honest lol! Their samba was frickin hot babeee!! YEAH!! These two have fabulous chemistry, fabulous energy and did some seriously faboo dancing!! I'm torn.

Second out was Kirstie and Maks, getting the help of Bruno. Was it obvious to anyone else that there's a reason why some people end up in the final and why some should NOT? LOL! I liked it back in the day when two couples ended up in the dance off, instead of three this leaving the top three silliness. As much as I admire Kirstie and applaud how far her dancing has come and enjoy watching Mr. Hottiebobody Maks, it was blatantly obvious right away why the competition is REALLY just between two of the couples on tonight's lineup. Their samba was nice and good and she's really improved, but finals quality it was not....not in my ever so humble opinion, anyway.

Last and certainly not in any way least, was my silent assassin Hines & Kym dancing the quick step, getting some pointers (get it, point the feet???) from Len. First of all, what the heck is wrong with the judges? Kirstie & Chelsea get to dance a samba, a hot dance they both rocked the first time around and then Hines gets stuck with that stupid quick step...ON FINALS NIGHT???? Loohoosers!! How dare they. You know what, though, Hines sure showed all of 'em!! GOOO baby GO!!! They deserved every point of their 30, which tied them with Chelsea & Mark for the first round.

First of all, NO freestyle was as awesome as some of the past freestyle dances, especially the awesome Tootsie Roll that Kyle Massey did last year. I hope someone does a freestyle next season that rivals one of my all time faves, but we'll just have to wait and see, I suppose.

Same order, Mark & Chelsea were first. They were all lit up, doing a ridiculous number of lifts and using probably all of their energy for the next week lol! I hope they saved a little for tomorrow. Their timing was a little off a couple of times, including right at the beginning, but it was so fresh and hip, eh who cares. They really brought all they had and then some.

Maks & Kristie's freestyle was, well, in a word...slow. Seriously, it just didn't move enough because the poor girl is unable to move that package like the young and fit thangs. Oh girl, I do so feel your pain, but, honey, this is finals week, there simply is not room for that. I do think the lifts were pretty awesome and she really adapts well to what is asked of her. At this point, though, I'd like to ask her to please move over so Hines can get some more camera time. MMM MMM good!

Hines & Kym just lit the place up, yet again. It is amazing, all they've done and with an injury to boot!! My gosh, are they overachievers or what?? They did say they would be doing something that had never before been done on DWTS and I'm still not sure what that was? LOL! Anyone? Well, I don't care...in spite of that icky band uniform, I was totally mesmerized. If I were to be honest, difficulty-wise I'd have to say that Miss Disney had a little edge over them, but one just cannot help but to get sucked in by Hines and his charm. These two got most of my votes, though I did save a few for Chelsea & Mark lol! I know...what a putz. I can't help it, though, I love them both!!! Still, GOOOOO TEAM HINES!!!! Tune in tomorrow at 7PM PACIFIC time for a spoiler!!!

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT....IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO WON THE MIRROR BALL TROPHY ON DWTS, STOP READING NOW!!!!

Here goes............

3rd Place goes to......WHAT THE ****??? Chelsea & Mark!!! UGH ::biting nails::

2nd Place goes to......Ok, whew Kirstie & Maks

AND THE WINNER IS................YEEAAHH Hines & Kym take it all!!!

The Fort Knox of Wii

It seems that the Wii console, which is in MY room, so that I can use it with my Wii Fit (currently a magnet for Greyhound hair and not my body) has parental controls set which makes me unable to set up the wireless, thereby rendering Netflix useless. Evidently, my husband set these controls up a couple of years ago because of the Wii News channel? Could the Wii News be any more damaging than the actual news? Surely not.

Fine, let me reset it. OK, it wants a PIN number. WHAT? I don't remember the ever popular pin that he was so fond of two years ago, next question. What is your favorite movie? Oooh that's easy...Pulp Fiction. EH! Not! WHAT? Yes, it is. This thing is stupid. Fine, let's try The Godfather. EH! WRONG! OK, Godfather leaving out the damn adjective because God forbid he have to stumble over waving that wand over an extra three letters AND the space bar. Yep, you got it...wrong again. Otherwise, we wouldn't be having this little blog tantrum at 2AM.

I am seriously peeved. I have tried every stinkin' guy movie I can think of and then some, but the place is locked up like Fort Knox and I refuse to phone Nintendo at 2AM to get my Netflix fix when I have two DVR's, both at almost 100% capacity. I wanted to have the option of watching something else, though, is that too much to ask? Apparently so. PPPFFFTT!

DWTS Season 12 Week 9 Winner Takes All

No, it's not the finale, but they tried out a new instant dance (in this case, the Cha Cha Cha) where the winner took all the points (15), to be added to their total, and the losers all got a big zero. According to Tom, this was added in an effort to help a really great dancing couple avoid getting the axe merely due to a lack of viewer voting. I think I like the choice to do that because we have seen some fabulous dancers gone too early because they didn't win the popularity contest...along with some ridiculous winners for the same reason, imho.

This week they all danced two regular dances, in addition to the instant Cha Cha Cha. I don't promise to remember who danced what, sorry.

Ralph and Karina danced an Argentine Tango as their first dance and, yeah, I'm going with the judges who said it lacked smolder. True dat. This is one of my favorite dances and darnit I wanna feel like a voyeur and they just did not embarrass me the way I like. It wasn't horrible, but it was nowhere near week nine standards, that's for sure. Next, please.....Their second dance was the salsa, which had Ralph sporting butt pads lol! Oh gosh, the things you'll do for...hhhmmm why did he do that, again?? This time, I didn't agree with the judges who didn't like it and went with Carrie Ann...I dunno why, but I liked it. It was wild and not technically sound, but it was hot and fun and I LIKE hot and fun!!

Kirstie and Maks danced a Viennese Waltz which totally mesmerized me. I know she isn't THEEE best dancer, but she has come SO far, being the underdog the whole way and, while I don't think she could possibly have what it takes to win, she has continued to improve and surprise me, week after week. I don't even like the Viennese Waltz and I was thoroughly wrapped up in their dance. YAY!! Their second dance was a Paso Doble (I think), another eh take it or leave it dance, unless it's done REALLY well and I think it was just sexy enough. Kirstie does have her sexy on, whereas I think Ralph is just too nice and decent to go around wearing his on DWTS.

Hines and Kym are just awesome!! They had me tears, along with all sane Americans, after watching the tape of her neck injury and then the emotions that doing the Argentine Tango brought out. The salsa was fun, bright and so awesome, I had another ear to ear grin the entire time. They are hot, hot and I'm pretty sure I'm going to start demanding that people refer to me by my married name...Mrs. Hines Ward.

Chelsea and Mark are another awesome couple. They, of course, smoldered up the place with the full on voyeurism effect in the Argentine Tango and frickin killed the Rumba. O-M-G what a seductive number. I'm still pretty embarrassed...exactly what I want when I tune in. They just kill every dance they do, love them!!

I'm totally torn about who I want to win, so I know the final is going to be awesome BECAUSE.....we KNOW that CHELSEA AND MARK and HINES AND KYM are SAFE!!!! WOOHOO!!! I am so stoked about next week. Honestly, either of the other two teams probably doesn't have a shot. I'm biting my nails already. I don't even bite my nails, though. EEEWWW!

OK....ready for the spoiler???? Here we go...here's who is going home....Ralph & Karina. Well, it had to happen!! See you next week!!

DWTS Season 12 Week 8 Instant Dance Week

So, I had all these wonderful plans to watch and blog simultaneously this week, but I just couldn't stay awake. I was so excited that I watched from bed, but ended up having to watch the whole things, again, this morning because the only dances I remember were both of Mark & Chelsea's. I vaguely remember making my daughter call in votes for SOMEONE on her cell phone lol! I do recall the judges being in an odd mood, too. Len was uncharacteristically happy (change in meds was mentioned) and Carrie Ann was little miss cranky pants, again, in a passive aggressive sort of way. Bruno, well, he ate a little of Carrie Ann's food or something and Len agreed.

SPOILERS IN THIS POST!!! SPOILER BELOW ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Since we're talking about Mark & Chelsea, well, let's talk about them. They did a waltz that I thought was awesome! I think it was Carrie Ann (maybe not) who mentioned something about getting so caught up in the storyline of the dance that it overshadowed the dancing. Eh, whatever, learn to focus on more than one thing at a time, babe. I LIKE being caught up in what they're doing...isn't that the point?? They made me cry, they got some phone votes. Their samba was equally impressive and even had my 14 year old daughter glued to the set. Oh, how I see ballroom dance, specifically the Latin dances, in our future. Yes, I said our. SSHHH, don't tell her lol! Oh and Carrie Ann was freakin nuts...they were RIGHT.ON.BEAT with their samba. CHELSEA AND MARK SAFE!!!

I can't remember who danced next, maybe Kym & Hines. Their two dances were the jive and the foxtrot and holy cow, did he ever do a fabulous job. He impressed the judges, the women love him, his gridiron buddies think he's cool and his partner has a body to die for. Some guys have all the luck, huh? I sure love him. I'm REALLY gonna be keeping an eye on the Steelers from now on. Hines Ward for President yo. HINES & KYM ARE SAFE!!!

Ralph & Karina did a Viennese waltz, I think, and the cha cha cha. I'm still not a fan of the V.Waltz, so I wasn't all that impressed and, unfortunately, he's got a knee problem, so the cha cha wasn't up to par. However, I think he did a great job, all things considered. Totally unimpressed by his makeup and her outfits, though. My daughter found his quite freakish looking, too, lol! I think they're gonna have to go, I really do. I hate for anyone to go right now because I am actually liking every couple, but SOMEONE has to leave.

Romeo & Chelsie did a tango and their instant dance was the salsa. I thought he was more impressive than the judges did, but still think he's holding something back. I don't know if it's that or he doesn't get that it's not just a sexy thang, there needs to be more DANCE to his dance. Something I can't quite put my finger on, but they are young, full of energy and cute, cute. They may not be long for the show. I hope they're staying another week, but that remains to be seen.

MMMMMaks & Kirstie did the Argentine tango and the instant salsa. The tango was done beautifully. Gosh, he can sure make Kirstie look good. He just brings out the sexy beast in all his partners, I guess. He needs to see if he'd be successful doing that with me, I'm quite sure of it. That said, there will be few Argentine tangos that rival the one he performed with Erin, which sorta ruined the one with Kirstie. Oh well, it was still great. I felt like the salsa wasn't the greatest dance, but I know they didn't have much time to put it together. She's cute and REALLY puts her heart and soul into the dances, but it still fell a little flat. It wasn't quite sharp enough. They cannot go, though. Nuh uh. And, guess what? KIRSTIE AND MAKS ARE SAFE!!!!

Come back in about 22 minutes to find out who is gone. ::bites nails, heart races::

ROMEO AND CHELSIE WERE ELIMINATED!!! UGH!!

DWTS Season 12 Week 7 SPOILER ALERT

So, priorities properly in place, I have foregone both working out at a decent hour AND eating a healthy dinner. I haven't even had a chance to watch this week's DWTS, but I know where I am supposed to be on Tuesday nights right before 7pm and that is in front of the computer, biting my nails, quietly uttering expletives about some injustice on DWTS. Oh please oh please people, don't make me boycott the show, again, but I swear if you send my man Maks home and keep the stripper, I'll be forced to take a stand! Granted, I didn't watch this week's show, but seriously, there is no way that girl could've improved that much in the last week. If it did, what are the odds that they fixed her attitude with it? Yeah, EXACTLY!

OK.....ready for the spoiler?? You sure?? YEEEEEAAAAAHHHH Kendra and Louis GONE BABY GONE!!!
