Dancing Recap

Maybe it's the gloomy tone in Washington this week with the economic crisis and Congress finally realizing they need to get something done before adjourning tomorrow. Or maybe it's the nasty presidential political games. Or even more likely, maybe it's because there are only 3 games left in the Braves season, but I haven't been able to think of anything positive to blog about! Work has been busier than usual and to make it worse, I have to work this weekend.

But enough of my pity party.

I turn to the always faithful, TV. With the exception of Gossip Girl, I haven't been glued to the tube like I thought I would be this week. But one highlight for me was Dancing With The Stars. Thanks to TiVo, I watched 5 hours worth of this show's marathon 3 night premier week in only 2 hours last night. It made me laugh and forget about the worries of the world. And that's the goal of TV, right? I haven't watched every season of the show, but I was a fan the two seasons that Apolo Ohno and Emmit Smith won. If you're not tuning in and are looking for a light hearted, fun show to watch, I highly recommend it! If you're interested and missed the first week, click here for a recap.

CHEERS- My favs after week 1:
Cloris Leachman - 82 years old and still moving, also she's hilarious.
Chef Rocco DiSpirito- He has so much heart!
Brooke Burke- She's had 4 kids and looks like that?
Warren Sapp- Smooth moves.
Lance Bass- Surprisingly fun to watch.
Misty May-Treanor- You can tell she's a fierce competitor, even out of her element.

BOOOOO- Least favs:
Susan Lucci- She's way too skinny and her self proclaimed "perfectionist" personality was annoying to me.
Kim Kardashian- I still don't understand why she's famous and why we're supposed to care about her. She was not impressive.

Is anyone else watching? What did you think?
