I’ve been watching DWTS occasionally. It can be entertaining and I like that I can watch it with my kid around, unlike all those forensic science shows and some of the drama that I love, which has adult themes. (Parenthood finale airs tonight on NBC!). They do drag it out forever like they do with American Idol, though. (I don’t know what my problem is, but I feel like I’ll missing something whenever I fast forward.) My favorite contestant is Hines Ward as he’s so personable and has great moves. Ralph Macchio is a close second for me, but there are a lot of great contestants this year. They got rid of the people who were struggling and are now left with some very strong contenders.
Kirstie Alley has actually been holding her own despite some minor setbacks and she can really dance. She’s also surprisingly likable, hasn’t been pulling faces and is putting in some obvious hard work. I thought she’d have issues with people since she’s always getting her hackles raised when people question that cult she belongs to, but that hasn’t been the case and instead she’s tried to distance herself from Scientology recently.
That didn’t stop Kirstie from calling in her good buddy and fellow Scientologist John Travolta to lend her some dancing support. Travolta made an appearance during a taped dance rehearsal segment, and he told Kirstie that she needed to switch up the footwear (she lost a shoe last week) and start up a romance with Maksim. It was kind of cute, and it makes you wonder if Travolta will be on the show at some point. You know that they would love to have him.
E! Online had the clip video of Travolta’s guest appearance (above) and they also have a very thorough recap of the show last night and the current scores. My guess is that Kendra Wilkinson is going to be the next to go, and she seems to know it because she’s been particularly defensive lately. Kirstie might make it to the top five, but I don’t see her in the top three. Still, this stint has really improved her public image and rightfully so. She’s earned it. She doesn’t need to bring in her cult buddies to boost her popularity, though.
Oh and remember how Kirstie said she wasn’t going to beg for votes at all? She told TV Guide “I don’t want to do the finger telephone …and go, ‘Call, call.’ I don’t like the prayer hands.. I’d rather be voted off than beg to be voted for.” She’s not above asking her friends for help or carrying a sign for the paparazzi as you can see below.
I also have to say something about Kirstie’s ridiculous bright blue pantsuit outfit with the cutout bedazzled sheer fabric over the tummy and the the giant black belt. What were they thinking? Did Maks take off his shirt just to distract from that outfit?
