Dancing With the Stars is Favorite Reality Competition Show
January 8, 2009 by Lynn
Dancing With the Stars won a People’s Choice Award last night for Favorite Reality Competition Show. This is a huge accomplishment! It was up against two of the biggest blockbuster reality shows of all, American Idol and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I wouldn’t have been surprised for any of them to have won. Here were the nominations:
- Dancing with the Stars
- American Idol
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
And here’s a photo of DWTS hosts Tom Bergeron & Samantha Harris with judge Carrie Ann Inaba and season 7 winner Brooke Burke:

The most recent winner of Dancing With the Stars, Brooke Burke, is a mommy above all else. And it’s a role that seems to completely agree with her. Here is a photo taken of her with her son Shaya Charvet when they arrived at LAX recently. the baby seems very content with his pacifier and she looks happy.
Dancing With the Stars 7: Cody Goes Home
November 19, 2008 by Lynn
Last night’s Dancing With the Stars results show was both fabulous and predictable. I just knew that even though we all like Cody Linley, it was just bound to be his week to go home. He seemed to have really gained a new level of emotional maturity from the tough schedule and the new challenges of the season and it was great to see the recap of his season’s journey. I know we haven’t seen the last of him…not by a long shot!
We also got to see some wonderful performances by Aretha Franklin (WOW!), Julianne Hough singing, Leona Lewis and John Legend. And it was great to see Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas dance together again.
Now that it’s down to the final three. I am just not convinced that Brooke Burke is going to win. Yes, she’s a good dancer, but I’m not sure her personality is enough to take her to the victory. And I love to watch Warren Sapp and Lance Bass dance. Lance really dazzled everyone this week and I expect the same from him in the finals. I’m going out on a limb and I choose the “dark horse”, Lance to win it. At least I have my fingers crossed that he does…
Who do you want to see take home the trophy? Who do you think deserves it? I’d love to know what you think!
Dancing With the Stars 7: The Biggest Music Night Ever
November 17, 2008 by Lynn
Tomorrow night’s results show on Dancing With the Stars will have more incredible music to enjoy than ever in the history of the show. Here are the singers we can look forward to:
- “Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin
- Grammy Award-Winning Singer John Legend
- International Sensation Leona Lewis
- Professional Dancer Julianne Hough will sing
And if all that isn’t enough, last season’s Dancing With the Stars champion Kristi Yamaguchi will be back. You won’t want to miss this results show!! Be sure to tune in on ABC at 9:00-10:02 p.m., ET tomorrow night.
Dancing With the Stars 7: Maurice is Sent Home
I hate it that Maurice Greene was eliminated this week. As likable as Cody Linley is, he really was the one that deserved to go.
And another thing, I thought it was very rude of some audience members (mostly young female audience members) to cheer when it was announced that Maurice would be leaving the competition. Yes, I know that they are Cody fans, but they should consider how the cheers must have felt to Maurice!
My favorites are still Warren Sapp & Lance Bass. I can’t help it, Brooke Burke is just too perfect…and lacks personality.
I think both of them should be in the finals with Brooke and since they have so much more personality than she does, I hope one of them wins.
But wasn’t this week’s results show amazing? We got to see fantastic dance routines by both Derek & Julianne Hough and Lacey Schwimmer and her brother Benji Schwimmer. All I can say is WOW! to both!!
How do you feel about Maurice going home? Who do you hope will be in the final three?
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: Warren & Kym Talk About 70s Moves

And here’s a clip with Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson explaining how they came up with all the 70s moves they put into their dance routine this week. And Warren talks about doing hip-hop.
Dancing With the Stars 7: Brooke & Derek Talk About the Week

This week, Brooke Burke and Derek Hough tore up the dance floor with their amazing jitterbug. And after the elimination, they took a few moments to talk to Edyta Sliwinska about the week’s competition:
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…
