Dancing With The Stars


Here's my problem with Dancing with the Stars.

Ballroom dancing is already pretty lame. Add a host straight from the Miss America Pageant, D-list celebrities and a "house band" and it's like a perfect storm of Cheesiness. 1972 called: It wants it's variety show back.

Cloris Leachman? Ted McGinley? Susan Lucci? What, Bea Arthur wasn't available?

DWTS producers: Put down the Taco Bell, pick up the phone and book somebody interesting!

Do I have suggestions? Of course I do. You don't even have to pay me a percentage.

Dr. 90210, Robert Rey.




To Catch a Predator's Chris Hanson.




The lovely Jennifer Wilbanks, aka The Runaway Bride.




The Burger King dude (as suggested by Deb )



And, helloooo? Six Flags dancin' man?????......







You're welcome.

OMG, I am totally seeing the Six Flags Dancin Man. I can all ready see him doing the Quick Step to that song they play on the commercials.

How about Bathtub Gangsta. He would totally Rock the Ballroom...but he is way too cool for that show.

I am pretty sure the six flags dancin man could take em all!!!

jaime said...

i like that show but not so much in the beginning- it's too painful to watch the sucky people! and KIM KARDASHIAN is one of them- good lawd, girlfriend's got all that bootay and can't shake it for shit. FOR SHAME!

Aracely said...

me- HHS thinks Dr. Ray should be on DWTS

husband- Dr. Ray= No jiggly boobies, that's the only reason I watch.

me- I thought you watched because of your bromance w/Lance Bass

husband went outside to mow lawn, chop wood and engage in other manly activities. Thanks HHS, you saved the day again.

LuckyMe said...

To Catch a Predator? Is that a series? About child molesters? Seriously, who can watch that depressing shit? (oops! am i allowed to say that on HMHH?) Oh yeah, the same people who watch Special Victims, my dad!! S~H~U~D~D~E~R!

Tenakim said...

I try, too, but the ballroom dancing - I don't get.

I knew Dr Rey had a big head, but wow, seems to be growing!

The Mom Jen said...

Come'on...what's another chance to see Joe Jonas in tight hot dancing pants??!!

Scarlet O'Kara said...

I want to see the Six Flags Dancin Man do the Paso Doble! How about Donald Trump doing the Quick Step?

Mama H said...

WHEW! Here I was thinking all this time that maybe I was the only person who didn't LOVE this show!

Your post was hilarious!!! Funny enough to cause me to come out of lurkdom, in fact!

:-)

Bijoux said...

We hate DWTS and also wondered if we were alone.
But I do love me some Dr. Rey and might be tempted to watch it if he were on.

Stephanie said...

have to admit...I'm a fan. I'd love to see Richard Simmons on there! wouldn't that be crazy??

t said...

Ha!! Dr. Rey.....ohhh yeah

Aleta said...

LMAO - love teh Six Flags Dancing Man. I would so pay to see that. LMAO.

Mandy said...

I am all about Six Flags dude!

Miss Lisa said...

At one of our ballet recitals, one of the older boys dressed as that Six Flags guy for the encore--I'd love to see him on Dancing with the Stars. I am so happy someone else finds the show c-h-e-e-s-e-y!

Lipstick said...

LMAO about the 1972 variety show!!! I have told Mr. Lipstick so often that it reminds me of those old variety shows that he just rolls his eyes at me.

Texasholly said...

Cancel the show and let's just watch the six flags commercials?

Jen said...

Now there is a show that I would love to watch.

Ashley. Unscripted... said...

I would totally watch that DWTS.

6 Flags Dancin Man=NOT LAME

Jenni said...

I think the six flags man should REALLY be on TV more...

Jennifer said...

Now you're talking! I'm all over the Dr. Rey idea!!! Where is Dr. 90210 btw--I haven't seen that show in ages...

The Nice One said...

OMG....THE 6 FLAGS MAN!!! For SURE!!!!

A New Yorker said...

I love it. 1972 called...HILARIOUS!

Anonymous said...

Please tell me you are not watching this crap.

The Happy Hour Sue I knew would watch reruns of Soul Train and maybe...just maybe Dance fever before this SH**

Oh wait a minute you were raggin' on it..sorry.

6F DMan Rocks

Even Mr Bill would not lower himself

Swirl Girl said...

Bea Arthur would totally smoke Cloris Leachman any day of the week.

and, Danny DeVito was indeed booked.

Lisa-licious said...

Dr. 90210 attends my friend's Mormon "temple"...yes, they really call it that. He dresses just like he does on the show for church. Too funny! The show is kind of "cheesy", but watching those skinny beyotches in those skimpy threads keeps me out of the "cheese bin"! Plus, the Jonas Brothers were on, weren't they? Hellooo?!

Six Flags dancing man CREEEPS.ME.OUT!!!!

Seriously - I live in a state with a Six Flags and when they were really pushing for business to pick up he/she was on all the time.

I would watch the show if BTG was on it. He doesn't creep me out and is totally kinda hawt.

Deb said...

You forgot that freaky Burger King character. He is messed up.

Oh, and the Quaker Oat guy.

Meg said...

I think Ronald McDonald could add some pizazz.

And yah, Irish step dancing has it all over ballroom. Especially when done to Celtic rock music.

I love Dancing With the Stars. It's entertainment and people are obviously watching. I agree, though, it takes a certain amount of "gusto" to agree to the show - it can be humiliating. I still think it's one of the best "variety shows" on TV!!!

Julie D said...

OMG. I just spit coffee all over my monitor. Hilarious!

Blondie said...

Chris Hanson....crime fighter and good lookin'....that's so hawt!!

Shelley said...

I feel so out of the loop. I've never even seen DWTS. Maybe I would be interested if they had Eric Bana, Matthew McConaughey, Christian Bale and Rob Thomas. Shirtless, of course. They must dance shirtless.

Mr Bill and Berta Y Lupe....we dance now!

Have you ever danced ballroom? I suspect not, or if you did you didn't have a good partner.

I dance ballroom, well, not every Tuesday and Wednesday mind you, but I really got into it once I learned the dances.

You should try it, I bet you'll like it!

Kat said...

I soooo vote for the Six Lags dancing man!! The Burger King guy creeps the cap out of me.

Vodka Mom said...

oh yeah. you're in. Is that ABC on the phone????

Aubrey said...

I SO have not gotten into this season. Am I missing much?

I'm liking the Cloris Leachman thing, but I think they should take it a step farther. Combine DWTS with Last Comic Standing. Or Chris Rock. I want to see Chris Rock on Dancing with the stars, and I also want them to do a night of DWTS at the Apollo. Love this show good, bad, and ugly.
