Ed was on assignment yesterday but was able to file a DWTS report late last night:
Professional dancer Tony Dovolani has never won the mirror ball trophy and his excitement to be performing with his current (and former) partner Melissa Rycroft at such a high level is infectious!Thanks to last week’s non-elimination week, M&T landed with a 99/100 (!) and are heading to next week’s semi-finals.
Judge Len Goodman told Shawn Johnson not to blame him but to blame her partners Derek Hough and Mark Ballas for her trio/weird jungle dance if she goes home this week – while Judge Carrie Ann Inaba gave them a 10.For Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy, Len relayed that he has his standards while Carrie Ann “has none” (cue the shocking reaction shot from Kelly).The debates between Len and Carrie Ann didn’t hurt either couple when votes and cumulative scores from two weeks came together – they’re both heading to the semi-finals.
Emmit Smith smiled and shaked his rump just enough to overcome a “little slip” this week.He and Cheryl Burke are also on their way to next week’s semi-finals but I just don’t see them winning the mirror ball trophy a second time this year.
Pros Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd became a real-life couple this season (heavens to murgatroyd - sorry, had to say it once this season!).They’ll have more time to candoole after last night as both were eliminated with their partners.Maks with Kirstie Ally because there’s only so far you can go when you’re not at the same level as the rest of the pack.Peta with Gilles Marini because his two weeks of cumulative viewer votes couldn’t get them through an early exit in last week’s Swing Dance Marathon.I’d also like to think Gilles got knocked off because he takes the whole thing too darn seriously, but if that were true, then Kelly Monaco would also have been ousted by now.
It must be killing Olympians Apolo Anton Ohno and Shawn Johnson that former Bachelor contestant Melissa Rycroft has been showing them how it’s done all season long.Maybe she’s got an advantage from being paired with her original DWTS partner Tony while Apolo and Shawn are with different partners.We’ll see how it plays out in the semi-finals next week.
News & Information
*ABC gave Nashville a full season order yesterday. I'm a happy camper, but they need to start moving things along. We need more Deacon and Raina action and Scarlett needs to get together with Gunner.
*Breaking Amish has become TLC's #1 primetime show ever. While this is amazing, I'm not sure how TLC is going to capitalize on this news. A second season with the same cast really can't work. Maybe the producers will try to find more Amish people who want to leave their homes? I'd think it would be easy...just dangle a hot shower, TV, lightswitches and cars in front of them...boom...done.
*The Amish are HOT! Here's how you know...more Amish are coming our way! Not do be outdone by TLC, Discovery is launching it's own show, Amish Mafia on December 11th. This show focuses on the Amish law enforcers. I guess they heard about the hot showers and the cars mentioned above.
*More shakeups over at The Today Show on NBC. Jim Bell is out as executive producer and Alexandra Wallace is in. It was only a matter of time right? WIth GMA leading these days, The Today Show is now on the defense.
*Jersey Shore's Vincent Guadagnino is getting his own MTV Talk Show. I am anti Jersey Shore as a whole, so I'm ignoring this news.
*Video viewing on NON PC/MAC devices such as smartphones, tablets, game consoles and other portable connected devices TRIPLED between Q3 2011 and Q3 2012 reaching 1.3 BILLION total video views.
