Edyta Sliwinska & Alec Mazo Grab the Swag
Here’s a great photo of Dancing With the Stars pro dancers Edyta Sliwinska and Alec Mazo walking away with a haul of swag. They were leaving Sunstyle Tanning where they picked up swag for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards. I think a lot of the rest of us wish we could just go pick up all that great stuff for some of those events…

Dancing With the Stars 7: Susan Lucci Goes Home
November 5, 2008 by Lynn
This week was an unusual one for Dancing With the Stars. First, the final six couples had to team up into two teams and do group performances for scores. Even though Lance & Lacey were far better than the rest of their teammates, they had to take the low score too. It was not too fair, really.
Poor Cody was dealing with a brand new dance partner with Julianne recovering from surgery. And Susan Lucci just didn’t seem to know the group dance at all.
Then, on the results show, choreographer Dave Scott, who does a lot of work for So You Think You Can Dance performed an amazing dance number. The entire number was spectacular!!
I was not very surprised that Susan Lucci was eliminated. It was just her time to go. The competition is getting tougher each week and it was the right decision.
My prediction is that Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson, Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer and Cody Linley and Brook urke & Derek Hough will make it to the final three. At least that’s what I hope. In my opinion, they are the three teams that deserve it.
What do you think of Susan’s elimination? Who do you expect to go next? Let us know!

Dancing With the Stars 7: Brooke & Derek Talk About the Week

Dancing With the Stars 7: Toni Braxton is Out
Surpisingly, this week Toni Braxton & Alec Mazo were eliminated from the Dancing With the Stars competition. I didn’t expect this one at all. As much as I have enjoyed Cloris and Corky this season, I think it’s time for them to go home.
And I’m probably going to upset some Susan Lucci fans, but I’m not a fan of her dancing. She’s too timid and her movements are too measured. She just doesn’t put the emotion into her dance moves. She executes the movements, but they still seem a bit empty for me. She needs to let loose more. True, she has had an ankle and now a foot injury this season, but I think Toni Braxton is a better dancer and brings more emotion into her dance moves. But that’s just me.
I am also thrilled with the addition of the four new dance styles to the show. Swing dance is my all-time favorite style to dance and I may not be a great salsa dancer, but I enjoy doing it anyway. And the hustle and jitterbug are so much fun to watch, I think this will be great for the show. (And who can deny that the crazy hair styles the Hough siblings wore this week were fun…?)
My favorite two teams are still Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson and Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer. I am expecting Cloris Leachman to be sent hom next week.
Who are your fovorites? Who do you think needs to go home next? Do you agree with Toni Braxton being eliminated this week? Leave a comment to let us know!
Dancing With the Stars 7: Campaign Commercials
This week on Dancing With the Stars, the dancers starred in funny compaign ads to compete for our votes. They were totally to make fun of all the actual campaign ads we are bombarded with at the moment. Each one is funny by itself, but to see them all together is a lot of fun. My favorite is the one that says that Lance Bass is probably crazy…

They say it wasn’t necessarily intended to be “goth” at all… And wouldn’t their dance costumes this week be the perfect Halloween costumes?
