Dancing with the Stars: Lisa was robbed!

February 18, 2006

Never underestimate the power of sports fans. That’s the lesson I learned this week. Jerry Rice’s popularity saved him from getting the boot on Dancing with the Stars, despite the fact that he was the weakest dancer of the gifted group.

Just like high school, I guess it all comes down to a popularity contest in the end.

Based on talent and performance, Lisa Rinna should have remained with Drew Lachey and Stacey Keibler. But, if fans are basing their votes on hard work and how much the celebrities have learned, then maybe Jerry should win. He really has turned into a great dancer.

But, he’s not in the same category as Lisa, Stacey and Drew, when it comes to dance talent. Sorry Jerry. I love and respect you, but the other couples are better.

As for the judging portion of the show, I think the celebs and dancers must have been hitting the sauce backstage. I’ve never seen so much talking back to the judges. It could have been that their nerves were frayed, after weeks of exhausting dance practice and subjecting themselves to judgment. But, everyone seemed on edge. I was shocked to hear Stacey claim that Carrie Ann had it out for her. And I actually feared for Len, when Anna erupted.

Can’t we all just get along?

With Lisa gone, I’m rooting for Team Lachey. Go Drew! Yes, Stacy is the best, but I don’t think it’s fair for her to win, since she had years of dance training. Besides, she’s a winner already with those legs, no matter what she does.
