Dancing With The Stars: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly (Week 2)

Since this was only the second week of Dancing With The Stars, there was still a wide range of talent on display for America. David “The Hoff” Hasselhoff was kicked off after last week’s odd & flamboyant performance. Until the dancing gets better as the contestant pool gets smaller, I’ll stick with classifying performances as The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly.

The Good

Rick Fox – His graceful moves made him an official contender for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy.
Audrina Patridge – Continuing with her theme of scandalous dresses, Audrina improved greatly, earning praise from the judges.
Jennifer Gray – Her drama queen antics may not bother everyone, but she gets on my nerves. That being said, she’s very talented which doesn’t go unnoticed.
Kyle Massey – The Disney Channel star did it again, this time with a modernized version of the Quickstep. Kyle also got the crowd laughing while he joked about not following the strict diet he’s been put on.
Kurt Warner – The NFL star managed to stick with the good crowd by showing his smooth moves.

The Bad

Brandy – Though she still out-performed other dancers, she retrogressed from last week. Plus, she’s got some attitude problems.
Florence Henderson – The high level of fitness required for this week’s dances did flow with Flo.
Margaret Cho – I’ll give her props for learning to leave the humor out of it, but she still isn’t ready for the dancing big leagues.
The Situation – All that fist-pumping and no rhythm.
Bristol Palin – I’m pretty sure the only reason the judges gave her positive feedback was because her mom was in the audience. She’s not a good dancer. Sorry I said it.

The Ugly

Michael Bolton – I Said You Danced Well But I Lied. How Am I Supposed To Live With Your Dancing? When A Man Loves A Woman…guess that one doesn’t really work.

How I miss this hair

Michael Bolton was kicked off the following night after receiving an embarrassing score of 12/30. Notables in the audience: Sarah Palin, Ray J, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brad Womack (the old but new Bachelor), stars from the Brady Bunch, Romany Malco (Conrad from Weeds), and Chelsea Staub (from Disney show Jonas L.A.).
