DWTS, Season 5, Week 1
     Guys' Night on DWTS was quite a surprise in several ways.  First and foremost were the Latin costumes, which, all in all, were quite tasteful!  I do think it was a bit "corny"??? of Mark Cuban to wear a PATCHED set of tails for his Foxtrot, but I guess they were trying to be clever.

DWTS, Season 5, Week 2
     In general, the costumes were OK.  I didn't care for Mark Cuban's sleevless look; he doesn't really have the body for it.  And though wearing a sleeveless shirt didn't quite make him look like a "redneck" from Blue Collar Humor, it didn't make him look "young and virile" either.  Maksim's hot pink shirt under a vest for Quickstep was a bit "off" in my opinion, but, lacking a compelling reason for wearing something else, I tend to go for the traditional look of tails in that dance.   Click here to read the full article
 
DWTS, Season 5, Week 3
     Sabrina Bryan did a fairly nice Jive, though, as Michael Schedler remarked, her feet didn't seem to be on a "first name" basis in that they seldom got close to one another (and I don't recall that they actually closed at all). And those shoes! Could an uglier, clunkier-looking pair of shoes be found to put on the feet of someone who is going to be scrutinized from head to toe by cameras?    Click here to read the full article
 
DWTS, Season 5, Week 4
This seemed to be another night for some of the celebs to "whine, whine, whine".  Especially Sabrina Bryan and Jennie Garth.  Interesting to note that folk like Marie Osmond - who could have used the fainting spell as an excuse - and Jane Seymour - who could use age, her mother's passing or depression over that fact as an excuse - were extremely positive about the challenges they faced.

DWTS, Season 5, Wk 5 The drama.
By now, most of you would know that my prediction was wrong about Marie Osmond receiving the boot from DWTS.  They actually went with a somewhat better choice and got rid of Mark Cuban.  Though I do have to admit that the show seemed to be teaching him a bit of humility.  At least he quit bragging about his billions, ya know?

DWTS, Season 5, Wk 4 Surprises and Disappointments
Why are these judges giving good critiques and high scores for bad dancing and giving such low scores to the better dancers?  Click here to read the full article
 
DWTS, Season 5, Wk 3
First, a correction: I was reminded by Len Diana that, of the male dancers, Johnathan Roberts was, some years ago, notable for his Ballroom/Smooth dancing.   Click Here to read this article
 
DWTS, Season 5, Wk 2
Computers, the Internet and Web Sites are just marvelous inventions.  Since my recorder failed to record DWTS Monday night, I went to the ABC web site and watched the show "online".   Click here to read the complete article.
