Scattered Thoughts About "Dancing With the Stars"

Sorry!

"Dancing With the Stars" is the best show on TV. My roommate told me recently that she heard that the joke in Hollywood circles is like, "Oh, so-and-so is doing DWTS? Have we checked up on them?" because of how hard they have to work to turn out those dances, like they need a wellness check. I like the weeks when they have to learn two dances. (Make them work harder!)

DWTS would fall apart without Carrie Ann Inaba. She's nuts and sometimes fully bullies contestants. I love her.

Since High School, I have fantasized about getting on "Dancing With the Stars", and making it to Disney Week (or Disney+ week as it's now called, and the switch to Disney+ is very interesting. Everybody hates it, it's nice to not have commercials, and it's funny that they still always run out of time at the end of the episodes even though there's nothing on after so they could always just take a few extra minutes, and end at 10:07 or something, but no, god forbid. I'm sure that it has something to do with ad dollars somewhere being wasted. Unrelated note, but I miss Tom Bergeron. I know we're not getting rid of Tyra Banks anytime soon, but I resent that Tom wasn't kept on with Tyra as co-host.), and doing a Samba or Paso Doble or Tango or Argentine Tango or Salsa or something to "Special Order" from Ratatouille, and my partner (seriously can't choose who I'd most want to be paired with) plays Colette and I play Linguini obviously, but she leads and I follow because that is the dynamic that they have in those kitchen scenes. It would be risky, "What if the judges don't like it?", but I know we'd be fine as I'd be killing it in the competition and an overwhelming fan-favorite on social media, and I wouldn't receive a single death threat in my DMs, and I wouldn't have to be really scared about receiving a death threat in my DMs.

I guess I shouldn't cross that bridge until etc.

I've seen the "DWTS: Live" Tour once, at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC), and Rumer Willis sang "Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps" live, but as the first song after intermission, so we were all still finding our seats again during a lot of the number, though I still caught most of it. I think I also saw a pro injure themselves during a dance, though the specifics escape me. It was a quickstep and they were dressed like sailors, I think. I'll never understand the decision to put "Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps" where they did, though, it could have been a big showstopper as the act 1 finale.

That's all for now. I may have more to say, in fact, I know I will, I haven't even mentioned the 24-hour fusion challenge. But that's more than enough for now.

P.S. For season 31 I'm Team Charli, I always root for the frontrunners, and anybody who complains about "past dance experience" is an idiot. Like, "sure yeah, let's vote out the better people because they danced too well and we liked their performance too much." As if! I'd be happy to see pretty much any couple win at this point. Maybe not Trevor just based on scores, though.
