Wednesday, October 22, 2008 Breakin' 2: Cloris Boogaloo As soon as Tom Bergeron announced that next week would feature a "hip hop group dance" with all the remaining "Dancing With the Stars" contestants, I knew Cloris Leachman would be safe once again. I mean, who wouldn't want the opportunity to see America's favorite octogenarian popping, locking, or -- dare we hope? -- krumping? If I weren't such a sap for Sapp, I might've picked up the phone and voted for Team Clorky myself. And so it was pop singer Toni Braxton who got the boot. I was betting on soap star Susan Lucci, but her tame hustle outmuscled Toni's West Coast Swing. To be honest, I can't remember a single one of Toni's dances; I couldn't stop my mind from wandering whenever she was onscreen. At least Cloris is... interesting. We also got another set of Ballroom Kids, a couple from L.A. vs. one from Philadephia. The Philly youngsters were dressed in the team colors, and of course they won. It's too bad the show couldn't have scrounged up a pint-sized dancing duo from St. Petersburg and turned the Ballroom Kids competition into a World Series preview. My prediction for the Final Four: Team Clorky's reign of terror will eventually end and we'll be left with Maurice & Cheryl, Warren & Kym, Brooke & Derek, and Cody & Julianne. I've been happy to see sprinter Maurice Green improve week by week, because Joe has a huge crush on Green's partner Cheryl Burke, which provides him with motivation to keep watching the show. I hope Cheryl never again gets stuck with someone like Wayne Newton who gets eliminated early on in the competition, so we can keep watching the show together! I'm curious if Cloris has turned into the equivalent of "American Idol" hopeful Sanjaya -- personally, I've never watched an entire episode of "Idol," but every week I must admit I got online after the results show aired to see if the singer, who was better known for his hairstyles than his talent, had survived. It wouldn't surprise me if non-"DWtS" watchers are doing the same just to see if Cloris made it through yet again. posted by 125records @ 12:41 PM   0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home   About Me Name: Sue Home: San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States About Me: Email me: talk at interbridge dot com See my complete profile Previous Post It's a hard knock life Shouldering the burden When life gives you Obamas, make Obamanade A ray of hope The terpsichorean threat A study in contrasts Thank you for the calendar, whoever you are...
