What do you think about the President's first 100 days in office?

Poor Melissa!

As usual, I want to start off gloating because Lawrence Taylor went home last week as I predicted. So that's the first thing that made me happy, the second thing that made me happy is I can't wait to star in Tony & Tina's Wedding as the special guest May 8^th at Planet Hollywood! A little selfless self promotion never hurt anyone. Now for the sad part. Poor Melissa hurt herself so bad she couldn't dance and they had to go off her video tape and got the lowest score she's ever got all season, a 21. Even her group dance with team Mambo ended up only getting her a 25 which is the second half of her score. So for the first time ever she's going to need America's votes to get her through this but I think she'll do it. Gilles got the second highest score of the night with a 27 and I hated it! I thought it was too corny for him he's a better Latin lover than a goof ball. Lil' Kim got the highest score of the night doing the Paso Doble. One of my favorites for the night was Chuck Wicks who did the Cha Cha Cha and got a 26! Shawn Johnson got the most mixed score for the night an 8,9,10 - giving her a 27. And last but not least Ty Murray did the best he's ever did all season but I think he's going to be the one going home next. BTW -did I mention I'll be in Tony & Tina's Wedding in May 8^{th :)}

Hiding in shame

I'm hiding in shame as Lawrence Taylor did not go home last week but Steve - O did!I am going to start off by saying that Lawrence should go home this week because Ty Murray came back in a big way, otherwise I would bet money it would have been him. My favorite for the evening was Melissa's tango. I thought it was the best Tango that has ever been done on Dancing With The Stars,landing her a score of 29 instead of 30 because Len Goodman is a grumpy old judge. Shawn Johnson also kicked butt by doing the Cha Cha Cha to a Michael Jackson themed routine. Gilles did well but not as well as he usually does in my opinion. Same goes for Lil' Kim doing the Rumba. Chuck Wicks on the other hand with Julianne Hough also did really hot routine because as usually she's not going to stop until he's perfect, because that's what happens when your girlfriend is the professional. I want to shamelessly plug my new gig starting Friday May 8 when I will be guest staring in Tony & Tina's wedding at Planet Hollywood.
