Gotta love Cloris Leachman she is 82 years young and she is still getting picked up by younger men! I want to be like her when I am her age, heck I want to be like her when I am half her age!!!
The true winner of Dancing with the Stars 7 looks she had a great time at the DWTS after-party and she deserved it!!!
There were rumors that Warren Sapp and Derek Hough went at it during a rehearsal and they said that Warren got physical with Derek who didn't stand down. I thought hey it was rumor, so didn't post it until OK! Magazine got to the truth of it and it was the truth sort of.
While Warren wouldn’t address the alleged fight, tersely telling reporters after the finale to “ask Derek” about it, Derek did say, “This has been blown way out of proportion. Warren and I exchanged a few words at rehearsal that lasted seconds. The idea that Warren would do physical harm to me or anyone is outrageous. We’re all become good friends during the season.”
But pro Corky Ballas, who was teamed up with Cloris Leachman this season and has been close to Derek for years as his dance teacher and friend, told OK!, “I think that Warren thinks this is a football field. I mean this in a good way. All his life, they get mad at themselves and angry so they can get out there and play well so he’s only doing what his instincts are, under pressure with adrenalin.”
Added Corky, “I told Derek, ‘let it go right off your [back].’ It’s part of psyching people out. Some psych-out tactics work. It doesn’t work on Derek.”
Comedian Jeffrey Ross, who was the first contestant eliminated this season, but who came back to perform on the show again this week, told OK!, “I happened to be at that rehearsal and they got into a little thing, but I think it has more to do with the intensity of the moment; guys having to coordinate their moods and their travel schedules and their work schedules, and things bubble up and honestly, they’re all teammates at this point. There’s no losers here.”
Derek’s close friend and fellow DWTS dancer Mark Ballas also said the incident was blown out of proportion, but admitted to OK! that the hit ABC show can be a pressure cooker!
“There are stressful times and when you’re working together, sometimes people get heated at each other,” Mark explained. “When you’re together 24 hours a day and you’re working, sometimes you just talk to each other out of frustration. Things like that happen. But both of them are cool.”
I say let us a viewers, who did not have a choice in the winner let Warren and Derek have a televised smackdown and let the winner be the one who rightfully brings home the mirror ball trophy. I would put my money on Warren!!!
Once again the Judges got their way and the person they wanted to win won and the viewers had no choice but to accept it. Brooke Burke went home with the mirror ball trophy that the Judges handed her, but the viewers did not.
Here is ABC’s explaination of the voting system…
THE PROCEDURE FOR ELIMINATING COUPLES:
Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the public’s votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show.
For example if couple A, B and C receive 38, 26 and 14 points from the judges, we calculate what share these points represent of the total awarded by the judges on the night. In this case the judges gave 78 points in total, and each couples’ share of 78 points breaks down as follows: 38= 48.72% of 78, 26= 33.33% of 78, 14= 17.95% of 78. Let’s suppose that when the public votes are tallied, each couple has the following shares: A= 20%, B=40%, C=40%. To determine who’s eliminated we combine these two shares for the total:
Couple A: 20+48.72%= 68.72%
Couple B: 40+33.33%= 73.33%
Couple C: 40+17.95%= 57.95%
So considering that Brooke got the most points from the Judges, then Lance Bass and finally Warren Sapp was in last place after the third dance. And since Lance Bass who scored higher than Warren with the Judges went out before him that means he was the one who got the top viewers vote over Miss Boring Burke. Which proves that we the viewer had no choice in who won the show that we keep on the air. Something I am seriously considering giving up after this season because 2 seasons in the row the winner was the Judges call and not the viewers. I might not have liked some of the American Idol winners, but at least we had the choice. It would be nice if instead of ABC and the producers adding dances to change up the show, that they figure a way for the viewers to have more of a say. It will help them in the long run because come Monday we won’t care about Brooke Burke again unless it is their plan to have her replace Samantha Harris??? Not that we would even notice because they look and host the same.
Warren Sapp that mirror ball trophy was yours in our eyes!!!
Joey Fatone's career is going down the toilet literally. Yesterday Joey Fatone opened the Charmin Deluxe Public Restrooms in Times Square.
Maybe I spoke to soon when I said Dancing with the Stars revived his career. In all seriousness I give him kudos for doing because it had to be a lot of fun and a great talking point!!!

For the second season in a row the Judges are getting their technically perfect boring Dancing with the Stars winner. Brooke Burke might have the best lines, but I lose interest watching her because she is so boring. She has no personality whatsoever, that I never understood how she hosted a show because she as exciting as watching paint dry.
But let’s get back to Judges. Back in The UK Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli are taking crap because the most popular contestant on Strictly Come Dancing was forced to quit the show because of the Judges comments against him according to Daily Mail. I think all three Dancing with the Stars Judges are thinking that they are Judging a real ballroom competition, but they are forgetting this is a TV show. These stars are not doing it because they want to dance, they are doing it because they want to revive their careers. And that has worked for several competitors like Joey Fatone, Mario Lopez, Lisa Rinna, Laila Ali, Marie Osmond, Cloris Leachman and so on. But the Judges like their pretty skinny females and they want them to win and you know where their careers are now and how they are not helping the popularity of the show. There was Stacy Keibler and she is where? Then Kristi Yamaguchi and win her did what for the show? By the Judges picking Brooke and only Brooke they are hurting show that is for the fans and not them. I would not miss any of the Judges if ABC decided to replace them….hint hint hint.
Seriously can someone tell me why I am still watching ABC. They cancel the good shows and leave us with shows that decline by the week. I loved Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and Boston Legal and they are gone. I still watch shows like Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty and Private Practice and all of those shows have not been good since their first seasons but for some reason my DVR continues to record these shows. Seriously someone tell me why.
But back to Dancing with the Stars I will feel like it is another wasted season of Dancing with the Stars if Brooke Burke wins over Lance Bass or Warren Sapp because it will be the second season where the Judges got their picks and the viewers who are paying their salaries did not.
I feel better now.
