Dancing With the Stars: Half Pint, Little Richard and KISS – Oh My!

Apparently you can’t miss one episode without someone getting a concussion or breaking a foot.  And I thought there wasn’t enough material to sustain a season of snark – ha! Forgive me, dear readers.  I’m back.

Week 4 was Rock Week, brought to you by KISS  - because nothing says “ballroom is sexy” like five sexagenarians in face paint.  Nice going, ABC.  I’m pretty sure you’ve alienated your core demographic with that one.

Gene Simmons opened the evening’s festivities with the statement, “We’re going to kiss somebody goodbye” before inviting viewers to “Lick it Up.”  Get it?  Kiss?  Cuz they’re KISS?  Oh, nevermind.  Way to set the tone, Gene.

Dancing with the Stars Week 3: Who’s Crying Now?

If you missed the first 6 minutes of Monday’s show, don’t worry, because nothing happened.  The “stars” walked down the stairs.  (spoiler alert: nobody fell!)  Way to milk it, ABC.

This week was the “most memorable year” episode, where each “star” had to select their most memorable year and present it in song and dance.  It was a night of tears and triumph, a “dance from the heart,” if you will.  (Tom Bergeron’s words, not mine).
