Per Amanda's request...my "Dancing With the Stars" update.
After this first week, here is my opinion. Brooke Burke is by far the best dancer and the most natural of anyone -- plus, she's really sweet. I love how she danced with her baby. :) I think Toni Braxton does a great job as well. I don't really care for Kim K. and think she should have been voted off yesterday. I mean, come on, she's not a good dancer. I don't think she'll go far. Ted McKinley wasn't great, but he shouldn't have gone off yet. He actually did better than some other people.
Okay, gotta admit people, I know that everyone enjoys watching an 82-year-old Cloris Leachman "dance," but she isn't any good. Yes, there is some grace shown toward her because of her age, but it's a bummer to watch other people who are better get voted off simply to keep watching her. (On a side note, I think it's so cool that Mark's dad, Corky, is another one of the professional dancers this year). I'm glad that the judges are rating by her ability and not because she is 82. Last year, just because Marlee Matlin is deaf, she didn't stay on because of her handicap, but because she was good. :)
I had a blast watching Warren Sapp fly around the floor. As he put it, "I'm just a safety in a 300 lb body." Maurice Green has some moves too, although Cheryl is one of my favorite professional dancers and knows how to bring the best out of people.
I think the judging has been great and they have really been working together. They have such a great dynamic and I appreciate everything they have to say. I have also enjoyed how the show use the judges scores and the viewers scores to determine a winner -- that's the problem I have with "American Idol" -- all viewers votes and most don't have a clue about singing...and Simon's the only one who gives any input by which you can judge a performance.
Well, hopefully they'll be more next week for Amanda to read...does anyone else even bother to read this blog anymore?...

I agree about Cheryl. She's my favorite pro. And I am SO HAPPY that Edyta got voted off. She's always wearing NOTHING when they do the little breakaway videos and she's usually always paired with a married man! So irritating!!
Gotta admit though ... Cloris Leachman is freaking hilarious!! I love her!
Woo hoo! Thanks for the update!!
