Looking good, Mel B.
Night One, and it's already over! Or almost over!
"Dancing with the Stars" is pretty much down to just two dancers, already. Forget the guys tonight, because according my statistical analysis - which I've already run by several Phd's at MIT and Stanford - has determined that this season's winner will be a woman.
It'll be either Scary or Sabrina (though I'm still going with Sabrina.) Don't believe all that judge hooey about "anyone can win!" or "watch our dancers improve week by week!" or "anything can happen!"
Yeah, anything can happen - either Scary or Sab will win.
"DWTS" is, at the end, all about strength, athleticism, stamina and youth. Sure, addled or soft-brained viewers can keep stiffs like Jerry Springer in the show week after week. But at the end, the judges know the real deal. In fact, I'm convinced ABC has oldsters like Jane Seymour on the show simply to appeal to key audience demo for this show - oldsters.
Keep in mind, I've been wrong with my predictions before. Imagine! For instance, I said Melinda Doolittle would win "Am Idol." My only mistake was use of the word "would." "Should"would have been the indisputably correct one.
Let's do our own quickie reviews from last night:
Jennie Garth: The great surprise of the night - she was pretty good - a little clunky here, a little sod-footed there - but she is now a dark horse. Her teacher was obviously excellent (Derek) but so was she.
Josie Maran: Only passably OK, and in fact, surprisingly dull, considering the outfit she had on. Someone has to tell her - you just can't show up and look fabulous. You have to dance too.
Sabrina Bryan: As predicted, she's the one to beat. Just amazing physical strength. ABC set her routine up almost like it was some final scene from "Napoleon Dynamite" - you expect her to come out and stumble around, and instead she kills.
Marie O.: What a show woman! All playing to the judges, with those big smiles, and winks. Oh Marie, you're good, you're VERY good. And a pretty good dancer too. But you've got a long way to go, baby, if you're going to get to the finals. But based on last night, it's not beyond the realm of possibility.
Scary Spice: Wow, maybe my favorite of the night. Again, strength and poise, plus some genuine charisma.
Jane Seymour: Of course, everyone loves dear Jane. But I think I nodded off during this routine.
Too bad she's so unattractive. And footwork needs, ummm, work.
