Dancing with the Stars

Dancing with the Stars had its 100th episode last night. At the same time, it eliminated the last person before the semi-finals for this season.

I just have to say that I didn't begin with a very good impression of Mario. He seemed arrogant and silly to me all at the same time.

However, last night's gracious "good-bye" was the most impressive thing I've heard out of a competitor in quite some time there!

Beginning at 6:12 in this video is Mario's reaction to being eliminated. I especially appreciated how he put into perspective who a hero is.

American Idol and Dancing with the Stars

Well, I think finally we're getting rid of the chaff now with Christy Lee's departure. Since I didn't like her anyway -- and agreed with Simon that she was nothing special -- Simon's rather curt comments on Wednesday evening were relished here.

No one here is rooting for David Archuleta. He's a nice enough kid, but all his renditions sound the same. Although he's a good singer, he's predictable and boring and he just isn't entertaining enough or talented enough to be the winner. I have friends who think he will be though...

Who are you wanting to see win?

As for dancing with the stars, again you have to wonder what is going through people's minds. Pricilla's dance on Tuesday was better than others who remain. Fame seems to change people though, and it's amazing to see the change in her since she came into notoriety as Elvis' girlfriend and then wife. (I pray the Lord will guide all those affected by notoriety as she certainly isn't the only one to suffer from it.)

We're off to see Expelled tonight! Looking forward to Ben Stein's intelligent humor and scholarship in this movie. Of course, I'll tell you about it later!
