Dancing with the Stars? Go ahead, admit it.......I know that *I* did not alone make it the #2 show Tuesday night.

Anyway, for anyone who did follow, what did you think? As semi-part-time past professional, I'm curious to hear what the rest of the world thought.

Tman122:
It's been cloudy here. And I don't like to dance outside anyway when it's cold out.  8-)

East_TX_Spa:
Unless Shabba-Doo and Boogaloo Shrimp were contestants, it has no street cred.

What's Dancing with the Stars? Sounds kind of native American.

Never fear, in spite of what the forum comedians have to say you are not alone. My girlfriend and I watched the original series on a lark during the slow summer season and have been hooked ever since. But while I watch the show I have never taken time to vote for anybody. And probably never will.


Some people I work with felt that Lopez was a trained dancer, so they rooted for Smith, who worked harder and had more to learn. This may have been the big difference in the end as I think many felt this way. I was happy with Smith as the winner but wouldn't have been disappointed either way. Although I don't know that Lopez was a "trained" dancer, he clearly had more dance training than probably any one else coming in this season and was probably similar to Stacy Kiebler last season (In fact she probably had had more formal training the Lopez prior to her participation in the show.) Like many actors he probably had some dance training when younger, he says he has had tap and "hip hop" dance lessons but never any formal ballroom lessons. Hard to know what the truth is for sure. Not that it mattered that much to me. Indeed Kiebler placed third and he was second so maybe looking too good at the start proves to be a tough obstacle to overcome!

As result Smith to me made the the most dramatic improvement over the course of the show. He clearly never equaled Lopez in technical skill, indeed he may not have been as "technically" good at the end as Lopez was at the beginning. But his charm and appeal may have attracted more voters because Lopez seemed more like a pro to begin with.

But what do I know, I have two right feet!
