DWTS: Double elimination!

Ahha! Now I know what it was that Macy Gray said backstage to Samantha Harris that had the judges cracking up so bad – so bad that poor Carrie Ann Inaba SQUEEKED her score reveal! Apparently, what I’d missed when I turned my head, was that Macy said of her dance… “I just feel like I popped my cherry!”

And ABC actually censored the word “popped”! Hahahaha! Oh, Family Programing, how do I love thee… let me count the ways…

Anyway – the results were not shocking in the least. In between all the ridiculous filler, and one TRULY awesome Lion King performance, we discovered that Ashley Hamilton, son of the Tan Man himself, was sent packing. Following him, was the poor dance cherry-less Macy Gray. Ashley had zero charisma – unlike his father in his season – and Macy’s performance was just.. odd, which wasn’t surprising at all, but still, you know, was.

And then they ended the show with a Dirty Dancing/Patrick Swayze tribute, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I got sniffly. Because of my allergies! Honest! It had nothing to do with the fact that I wore out my copy of dirty dancing soundtrack (on CASSETTE) and VHS, after seeing the movie 4 times in theaters despite the fact Mama was a little leery of the movie/title/previews.

I wanted to be Baby. I wanted to dance. I wanted Johnny to rescue me and tell everyone that “Nobody puts Baby in a corner!” Sigh. RIP Patrick Swayze.
