Dancing with the stars-- Technology Tuesday

DON'T FORGET TO CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR WEIGHT WATCHIN' WEDNESDAY.  I PROMISE I WILL POST.... NO MATTER HOW BAD THE RESULTS!

Around 8 last night I settled in on the couch and sent Brandon to watch tv in the bedroom.  Dancing with the Stars started its 10th season last night.... and I was excited!  A lot of people are upset about this season and don't like or know the "stars"   The only star I didn't know was the soap star... but he's really good looking so it doesn't matter lol!  Well for everyone that doesn't know who is on this season here is a quick run down...

Anna Trebunskaya (Pro) and Evan Lysacek (Star)

Evan is a Olympic medal winning figure skater.  He skated in Vancouver and did a great job.  He danced last night and did really good.  He has trouble with turns because they are opposite ice skating... but keep an ey on him this season!

Ashly DelGrosso (Pro) and Buzz Aldrin (Star)

I hope everyone knows who Buzz is... he was one of the first people to walk on the moon.  The man is 80 years old and did his best last night.  He probably won't be in the competition for very long... but he has shown that just because you have a few years under your belt doesn't mean you can't get out there and enjoy life and exercise!

Chelsie Hightower (Pro) and Jake Pavelka (Star)

If you have turned on the t.v. on Monday nights over the last few months or looked at a magazine at the supermarket.... then you probably know who Jake Pavelka is.  He is the most recent "Bachelor" and was actually a "contender" for the bachelorette... but she picked Ed instead.  Jake is a pilot and recently proposed to his final girl.  It was a major upset for everyone and no one liked who he picked.  If it makes him happy...who cares.  Well now he is on DWTS.  He was nervous last night but did ok.  I'm excited to see how he does the rest of the season!

Cheryl Burke (Pro) and Chad Ochocinco (Star)

Chad is a football player for the Cincinnati Bengals.  Don't know his record or anything, but he is a good player and he did really good last night.  I do know that he gets in trouble for dancing after touch downs so maybe this is a good direction for him to go!  We will see.

Damian Whitewood (Pro) and Pamela Anderson (Star)

I think Pamela Anderson is self explanatory!  If you don't know here watch old episodes of BayWatch. She did really good last night and was very quick with the cha-cha.  I'm interested to see how she does with other dances.  She was a little spastic though!

Derek Hough (Pro) and Nicole Scherzinger (Star)

Nicole is the lead singer of the group "The Pussycat Dolls"  She has had dance training but not ballroom.  She did really good last night and looked the best out of everyone!  It is going to be exciting seeing how well she can do.

Edyta Sliwinska (Pro) and Aiden Turner (Star)

Aiden is a soap star...and I've never watched soaps... so I didn't know who he was, but I was really impressed with his dancing.  He was by far the best guy last night and it should be a really good season with him and some of the others being so good from day one!

Louis Van Amstel (Pro) and Niecy Nash (Star)

Niecy is best known as an actress and comedian.  She is on the tv show Reno 911 and seems to be very funny.  She said last night that she loved her "jiggly parts" and is one of the larger women on the show! She did good and I look forward to seeing her throughout the season and to hear her comedic take on all things dancing.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Pro) and Erin Andrews (Star)

Erin is a reporter for ESPN.  Lately, she has been best known for having to deal with a guy that was taking video of her through peep holes of hotel rooms.  She seems to be handling things well and she did good last night.  I'm interested to see how she does!

Mark Ballas (Pro) and Shannen Doherty (Star)

Shannen was on 90210 and charmed tv shows.  Not sure what she is up to now.  She was really really nervous and it showed but she did a good job.  Her dad was there and it was really sweet how much she loves him!

Tony Dovolani (Pro) and Kate Gosselin (Star)

Kate is the mom on Jon and Kate plus 8.  She is best known for having 8 kids, 1 set of twins and then a set of sextuplets.  She is recently divorced and now on the show.  She has never had formal training in dance or is she a performer or a athlete.  She had a hard time but you never know...she might end up good.  I'm not boycotting the show because she is on it.  I know her and her ex have issues...everyone does so we will see how it goes.


So there you go!  I will try and recap each week... and once Army Wives starts in April I'll be talking about that too!
