Dancing with the Stars...
has lost this viewer.
Even though in past seasons I've had to hold my nose over some of the scanty costumes, as a former ballroom instructor (with a few national trophies of my own), and knowing Mark Ballas and his father from our Houston days, I enjoyed the show.
But this season will have to proceed without me and I'm sure they're not too upset. Millions more folks will be tuning in to watch Chaz Bono do her/his thing, whatever that might be. The "ick factor" is just too high for this viewer.
How about we watch some real dancing?

Bristol Palin makes finals on Dancing with the Stars. Lunatic lefty heads explode...
Nothing has shown to the world the power of Sarah Palin more than what I witnessed last night. Against all odds, Bristol Palin made it into the finals of Dancing with the Stars, beating out singer Brandy. While Bristol's dancing has improved, her being in the finals is, speaking from the viewpoint of a professional ballroom dancer, a bit odd - until you factor in the votes of the public.
Never mind the endorsements by Sarah that propelled many people into political office. Last night spoke volumes about the sentiment of the American public who have spent the past several years being called "stupid bitter clingers." Being carefully ignored is the statement of her professional partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy , who said he moved to this country for the very reasons that he and Brandy were voted off - the voice of the people being heard.
Bristol joined this contest with not one bit of dancing or performing experience. Given that, the job she is doing is phenomenal. With just a bit of extra time, again my professional opinion, she would probably surpass Brandy. Bristol's personality is the type that produces precise footwork and attention to detail. We have already witnessed her emotional connection to the music and her fluidity of movement improve as her fears have subsided.
I can sympathize completely with Bristol because I started my ballroom dance career in the same way as she has. There's a reason they call it "paralyzing" fear. My fear was so great that executing a simple box-step was almost impossible.
The folks of this country have gathered Bristol to their hearts. I've surmised since the beginning that Bristol's being asked onto DWTS was a ploy to further trash the Palin family. The populace has stood up and said, "no more."
Next up? Charges of racism. Wait for it!

A SWAT team posted up outside a home in Wisconsin yesterday -- after a shotgun toting 67-year-old man blasted his TV because he was so enraged with Bristol Palin's performance on "Dancing with the Stars." more

I was so pleased for this lovely young lady to be the winner this season. Her partner, Mark Ballas, is the grandson of George Ballas who owned Dance City in Houston, Texas where I taught ballroom dancing for many years. Congrats to both of you!
