Helio is no Apolo

I ended up not writing much about Dancing With the Stars because is was not as exciting as I thought it would be. However. There are things that need to be said.

I am so disappointed in you, America! Mel is better than Helio. Maybe his freestyle was better, but not by much! Definitely not enough to make up for all the weak dances he had throughout the season. And his jive last night was not good!

Now for the judges. Mel’s last dance was fantastic—every step looked perfect. Helio? I saw him run into Julianne at least once. He has little/no control over his movements! There was no reason to give him a perfect score, other than to punch up the excitement. Oops? That backfired!

They won on Julianne’s momentum from the last season. You could see that even she was shocked when they said who won. America’s unwillingness to vote for women is another issue entirely. I guess the audience is female and they like to vote for boys they have crushes on when it comes to the end. Well. My suggestions for next season’s male contestants are Louie Anderson, Rush Limbaugh, Meatloaf, and the ghost of Chris Farley. Then maybe a woman will win. But probably not. Chris Farley’s ghost will take all in a blaze of ballroom glory. Because he was funny in life.

I am definitely buying Spice Girls tickets now. That may seem like a non-sequitur, but I promise it’s not.

Now I need to find a new show to watch while I’m on the treadmill.
