Dancing With The Stars – WOO HOO!!!!

Penn – dude, the judges were HARSH!!! 5s and 6s?? i wasn’t expecting 10s but dang – that was rough – as Kelley put it, he’s this year’s Mark Cuban – though i think he’s got a little more rhythm than Mark – he was fun to watch and i thin the fans will keep him around for a minute or 2

Jason Taylor – um, HOT!!! oh, was that my outside my head voice??? though there is something weird about his mouth – still hot – oh, is that not one of the requirements for Dancing With The Stars – he was good – a lot better than i expected – he needs to show more personality, but i think he’ll get there …

Christian de la Fuente – ok Latin Boy – a little too full of yourself – “the reason i wanted to do Dancing With the Stars is so i could bring the romance back to dancing” – um, the romance has been there – where have you been?? he’s another hottie but i’m already turned off by his attitude – they were good but he’s a little heavy on his feet

Adam Corolla – he’s way more Mark Cuban than Penn – he’s got personality though and hopefully he’ll show some improvement – it wasn’t all bad – but it wasn’t all good!

Mario – clearly the guy to beat – he just has natural rhythm – it’ll be interersting to see how he matches up against the girls
Steve Guttenberg – Kelley is pulling for the “Guttmeister” – yes, my husband is a nerd! anyway, he was much better than i expected! another one whose personality will earn him an extra week or 2

Shannon Elizabeth – well, she looked really good – exactly how long are her legs and where can i get some of those? she was a little stiff and robotic looking – and i don’t think she and Derek have very much chemistry 

Monica Seles -  did i say Shannon Elizabeth was stiff – poor Monica – she looked like she had a really bad crick in her neck – it wasn’t as bad as i expected though – but it still wasn’t good

Marissa Jaret Winokur – i great big pink and purple puffy heart LOVE LOVE LOVE her!!!!  i didn’t think she danced enough but that’s on Tony for choreography – i think her being so short is going to count against her also – but i think she definitely has some talent – i hope she improves next week because i’d really like to see her stick around for a while

Priscilla Presley – i know this has nothing to do with her dancing, but what is going on with her hair color??  WOW – she was way better than i expected – pretty good – too bad her personality is so dull

Kristi Yamaguchi – WOW!!!  i expected her to be good but damn – she was awesome!!  there’s a reason she’s leading the odds to win in Vegas – she is definitely the woman to beat!!!

Marlee Matlin – pretty impressive – i don’t know how she did it without hearing – she was pretty good but i thought the routine was too slow – of course that’s probably to be expected since she’s just figuring out this whole dancing without sound thing – i have loved her since Picket Fences (yes, i’m 100!) so i’m hoping she makes it far  

it’ll be interesting to see how everyone compares next week – but so far i’m thinking it will be Monica and Penn
