Dancing With The Stars Cast!

I’ve replaced what I had previously written this morning with the official PR.

IN A SEASON OF SURPRISES, THIRTEEN NEW STARS WILL SHINE AS “DANCING WITH THE STARS” RETURNS FOR ITS SEVENTH SEASON

Three-Night Premiere Event Begins Monday, September 22

Two Couples Will Be Eliminated During the First Week of Competition

Jonas Brothers and Jesse McCartney Perform on “Dancing with the Stars the Results Show,” Wednesday, September 24

Jimmy Kimmel Welcomes Maurice Greene to “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Tuesday, August 26

It will be a season of surprises in what promises to be the biggest and most demanding season ever, as 13 celebrities take the ballroom floor on the hit series “Dancing with the Stars,” which returns with a three-night premiere event, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on ABC. All new surprises and twists will await viewers each week. Season Seven marks the largest cast assembled to date, the oldest and youngest competitors ever, and includes two Olympic Gold medalists, a Grammy®-winning singer, a television legend, an Oscar® winner and a Super Bowl champion. Additionally, all four professional dancers who’ve previously tasted the thrill of victory return to compete against one another for bragging rights. Can one of them reclaim the mirror ball trophy? For the first time ever, all 13 teams must prepare two routines for the first week of competition, one of which they’ll perform on Monday night. The judges will score the performances on Monday while viewers cast their votes for their favorites. Only 12 will have the chance to showcase their second dance on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 (9:00-10:0 p.m., ET). In dramatic style on Tuesday’s show, one couple will be eliminated as the remaining contestants perform their second dance of the season. The judges will score the dances on Tuesday and viewers will once again cast their votes before a second duo is dismissed, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET).

Dan Makes An HOH Deal! Noms Are In!

Dan Makes An HOH Deal! Noms Are In!

Posted by Dustin on 08.24.2008 at 9:07 pm

Up on the vines, Dan and Ollie ended up at the end. To win HOH, but also to try and put the blood on Ollie’s hands, Dan made some insane deal. Ollie gets to select one of the nominees, as well as the POV replacement if it gets used. Ollie took it and dropped. He told Michelle ASAP, saying what the deal was and how he wasn’t supposed to tell her this. Ollie noted to Michelle no part of the deal included NOT putting Dan up next week. Ooo did Dan make a bad deal!

Keesha and Memphis know Dan made a deal, as did Renny. However they don’t know what the deal was. They realize they may not be able to trust him. Keesha and Renny heard him talking about making a deal, they just couldn’t hear. Memphis, BTW, after dropping had to see the medicle team. This was shown on “AD” as he was shaking uncontrollably.

Dan got his HOH room and we finally saw photos of Monica, as did the house guests. Dan got a letter from Monica as well, so the house knows that Monica isn’t made up. Dan pretended to break down as he read the letter to gain sympathy points, which apparently worked.

Ollie came to see Dan to chat about their deal. Ollie told Dan he wanted Memphis up, that Memphis was the biggest threat to him at this point.

Dan had to put Memphis up, but wanted to make sure Keesha and Renny would keep Memphis. Keesha warned Dan that Renny might not keep Memphis. Renny talked to Dan, she point blank said she didn’t trust Memphis. Dan wanted to try and make Dan, Renny, Keesha and Memphis the final four. Renny agreed, only when Dan said they could cut Memphis later on to make them final three.

Dan talked to Memphis about putting him up. Memphis didn’t like the idea, saying Dan would be the last person he put on the block. Memphis later said in the DR that if Dan put him up, he’d go after him later on. Ollie then said in the DR if Dan didn’t keep his word, he’d know he was a liar and a snake. Dan was stuck trying to make sure to keep everyone liking him should he make it to the end.

Dan had his ceremony, and he put up Jerry and Memphis. Dan said Memphis has many people wondering where he stands in this game, they’ll see if he’s a vagabond or a renegade (their team name). He then basically said he put Jerry up for the stuff that has gone on. In his speech, Dan hinted at the deal with Ollie, hoping the blood would be on his hands. Memphis however was pissed at Dan’s actions.

I’m thinking if Dan finds out that Ollie told Michelle about the deal, that can be considered a breaker at some point and Ollie can find himself on the block.

Hair And Fashion Recap, Plus The Cho!

Hair And Fashion Recap, Plus The Cho!

Posted by Dustin on 08.24.2008 at 6:57 pm

On “Project Runway” this week, Chris March from last season returned to give the designers their new challenge, to design an outfit for a drag queen. I thought this was going to be the best challenge ever, but I think for the most part it fell flat. With no Austin Scarlett or Santino in the cast, there was no one to really go insanely over the top I don’t think. Some of them were good, others not so much.

In the end Joe won for his skin tight and very green superhero like outfit. I didn’t think he should have won though, I really thought the the girl who did the kimono like outfit should have won. Fortunately they did finally send poor little Daniel home. His outfit was ironically the best thing he’s made on the show to date, but it was not a drag costume. It was more of a costume for a woman going out dancing. Zzzzzzzz!

Over to “Shear Genius,” Nicole won the short cut challenge at the opening of the show, which got her immunity and a spot in the top three. Honestly without that, I don’t think she would have made it. This meant either Dee, Charlie or Daniel would go home.

The challenge this week was the magazine cover challenge. Each designer had to do an avant guarde haircut dealing with one of the four seasons. Nicole had winter, and had not expected her model to be laying down in fake snow, which pretty much wrecked her haircut. However she was safe. Daniel put too much of the focus in the back of the head, which wasn’t seen in the photo. Meanwhile Dee did her usual funky banged cut, which looked terrible when the model was jumping up and down as required for the shoot. Charlie did a good job, but was a little bit of a diva on the set.

Charlie won the challenge, Nicole was safe, so it came down to Daniel and Dee. Daniel was sent home, which got Jacklyn a little misty eyed. Honestly I really felt Dee should have gone home, basically because over the past few episodes someone on the panel always seems to note “she does the same hairdo every time.” That’s what got Paulo sent home, so why not Dee?

Finally, VH1 started “The Cho Show” this week, which is a reality show much like “Kathy Griffen’s Life On The D List,” but staring comedian Margaret Cho (who I love!). The first episode dealt with her getting the “Korean of the Year” award, which was something she was thrilled about but had mixed feelings over because of the reception she had gotten years ago from the Korean community. It was a good show, only a half hour. The best part of it is her parents. If you’ve ever seen her stand-up routines, then this is a treat because you get to actually see how they compare to what she makes fun of. However I doubt I’ll do much commenting on the show. It’s one of those shows that doesn’t lend itself to comments easily.

Also for “New York” fans, she should have her new show starting up soon (if it already hasn’t). Then on Oxygen is “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency” which is always good for some drama (usually made by Janice).

Swingtown To Move To Cable?

Swingtown To Move To Cable?

Posted by Dustin on 08.22.2008 at 10:33 pm

Broadcasting & Cable is reporting that CBS is trying to shop their show “Swingtown” to cable networks in case the show is not renewed by CBS.

Myself, I would love to see “Swingtown” end up on Showtime, which by the way is a CBS company.

Big Brother: Eviction and HOH Night! *Update!*

Big Brother: Eviction and HOH Night! *Update!*

Posted by Dustin on 08.21.2008 at 8:52 pm

As always, if you’re not on eastern time, spoilers as the show hasn’t aired for you yet!

The whole house wants to know who offered Dan money. Michelle is determined to find out who and vote them out. She went to Dan, but he wasn’t willing to tell her who offered him the money. Based on April’s reaction, she doesn’t think she offered Dan the money (she did). Michelle thinks it was Jerry! Meanwhile Keesha and Memphis are determined to get April out over Jerry.

April cried to Ollie how this isn’t fare, she hasn’t done anything to anyone. She says she’s nice, she does the dishes, she gives people things. She knows only one person doesn’t like her, she think she can get Dan, Memphis and Michelle on her side.

Ollie and April talked to Michelle about keeping April. Ollie said keeping April is best for her, if they get HOH then they won’t put her up. Ollie asked her to talk to Dan. Michelle says she’ll talk to them, but she won’t make herself a target and not vote with the house.

Ollie talks to Dan, telling him they never had anything against him and think of him highly. Ollie hopes he considers where April is coming from. Dan said he knew one of the people on the block will come after him. Ollie says if he keeps April, they won’t put him up. Dan says he has to think about it.

April later talked to Dan alone. April asked if he had a deal with Jerry, if he offered him money. Dan said he had no deal with Jerry. April then offered to give Dan money and anything else she can for him. Dan says he’ll think about it. Dan loves that he’s once again the swing vote in the house.

After meeting April’s sister and Ollie’s parents to get their thoughts on the whole “Showmance,” they went live to the living room where everyone gathered. Julie asked Ollie about his fear of birds. Julie then turned to Dan about winning the veto. Julie also asked Renny about getting emotional over seeing her parents photos. Finally she asked Jerry about handling being on slop so long, longer than most people in the house. The last question was an audience question for Memphis, asking who he’d bring back from the evicted pool. Memphis said Bryan just for giggles.

The live vote happened, and each nominee made their speech. April asked everyone to vote for what was best for them, not the house. Jerry then said these days, aside from the slop, have been special to him.

Keesha voted to get rid of April, which is no shock. Memphis also voted to evict April. It was no shock that Ollie voted to evict Jerry. Dan, the swing vote, voted to evict April . . . which means she is out. Michelle then voted to evict April. Julie then told April she was evicted 4 to 1. April hugged everyone as she left, giving Ollie a kiss.

Outside, Julie asked her about Keesha and the trouble between them. April wouldn’t say anything bad about her. She says some people you don’t get along with, some people you do. Julie then asked her about Ollie, what the future might hold for them. April said Ollie had planned to move to Arizona before, so they will still see each other, just not live with one another. April then watched her goodbye messages. In Ollie’s message, he asked April to be his first girlfriend and give him an answer the second he sees her. April told Julie the answer would be yes.

The HOH competition started, and no shock it’s an endurance competition. They had to hand on a vine, while they were rained on and had a lot of other things thrown their way. There was also a small platform attached to the vine/rope they could sit on. The vines then started swinging. It will be awhile before we know who HOH is. I’ll update and report as soon as I find out.

*Update* The new HOH is . . . . DAN!

Big Brother: The Power Of Veto

Big Brother: The Power Of Veto

Posted by Dustin on 08.19.2008 at 11:03 pm

The POV comp and ceremony was held tonight. The competition took place around midnight their time, and involved answering questions about spooky and disturbing things placed on display in the backyard graveyard: pythons, cockroaches, voodoo dolls, beds of nails. In the end Dan won, with Jerry almost winning yet another veto.

Dan wasn’t sure what to do, he clearly wanted to take Jerry down so Ollie would go up, but he had no control over who Renny would put up. Renny made it clear should he use POV, she’d consider him a traitor. Memphis and Keesha also weren’t sure what Renny was thinking with those nominations. Everyone seems to agree that April and Ollie have to be split up.

April made an offer of money to Dan, which he told others in the house (I don’t think this was shown on the show) and hinted at during the POV ceremony. In the end he kept the noms the same.

I am having a bad feeling this is going to come back to bite Renny in the butt. Ollie and Michelle I think will vote Jerry out over April. Keesha is a no brainer, she’ll vote April out. Dan and Memphis need to get April out rather than Jerry, because the chance of April or Ollie getting HOH next week would mean anyone on their side in the house is fair game to go up.
