Back in the Ballroom Again!
Leapin' lizards! It's time for another season of
Dancing with the Stars. Welcome back, everyone! I've missed my weekly helping of D-list casserole - so let's get right to it, shall we?
My first giggle of the season came in the middle of the opening dance by the pros. It wasn't my normal snicker about how the men's hips go all girlie, but a pure gleeful giggle at how cheesy this whole show is and what a dork I am for it. What's better? I get to goof on it all and then some of you write in and tell me what an idiot I am. This is the life!
Penn Jillette - We've found this season's funny guy. He's not going to win but he'll last a few weeks because he's good for a chuckle. He should have Teller dress up like a girl and dance with him.

Jason Taylor - He's dancing with Edyta, so they have the hotness factor working for them. He was a bit stiff, but he definitely has potential. It's probably out of his comfort zone and he'll loosen up in no time.

Cristián de la Fuente - Who is this guy and why have I never seen him before? He is scorching hot! What a smile. He is my new Helio! Oh, and he can dance, too. I look forward to watching him as the competition goes on.

Adam Carolla - After I was done laughing (but most of it was at his funny facial expressions), I decided he should stick to radio.

At the end of Adam's dance, they flashed to the women on the side of the stage and
Priscilla Presley's face looked like it was smashed up against a piece of glass. What has this woman done to herself? Ponder it and let's discuss tomorrow when the women dance.
Mario - I love how he wanted to do the show just to meet Karina. He was the closest to a pro tonight. He will go far because he can perform well and it's obvious he's having fun with it.

First shameless plug of the season - the new Bachelor was in the house. He's hot, though, so I didn't care. Don't tell anyone, but I might watch this season. I squeal every time I see a preview.
Steve Guttenberg - He's destined to be the fan favorite. I will be calling him Mahoney the whole season, so let's all get onboard with that. He wasn't very good, but I'm still rooting for him. He's a good actor and his career could use a boost. One thing I like about him is that even though he's been out of the public eye for a while, you haven't heard about him doing anything crazy like porn or molesting farm animals. He's a stand-up guy and his looks haven't faded too much. Good for him.

I thought the men started off well, but they definitely left room for the women to kick some butt. Will we finally have a woman win this year? Who was your favorite tonight? Which woman are you most looking forward to see dancing? Post your thoughts below and join me tomorrow for the next round!
