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

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Congratulations to everyone involved with Dancing With the Stars!

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.

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, …read more

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 …read more

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 …read more

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.

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:

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 …read more

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…
