Eviction Night & 100th Show Celebration
It was a fantastic start to the 100th show - a dance featuring the past and present pros! Maksim was back, Maksim was back! There is a God! There was so much that happened tonight I can't even think straight or form a complete thought. So I won't. I'm sure there are some of you out there who would swear I never do, so let's get on that train and keep it going.
Choo-chooooo! Here are my loves and hates from tonight's show:
Loves
" Samantha Harris' dress - I'm going to give her some kudos since no one likes her. Despite her utter uselessness on the show, she's actually an incredible beauty. She's got a great bod and she looks fantastic in all the cool dresses she gets to wear. I'm sure if she were on a show where she served a purpose, she'd be a bigger star.
" Mario Lopez and the cast of
A Chorus Line - I'm a sucker for a musical so this was a treat for me. I didn't realize A.C. Slater was on Broadway but I bet he's great in the show. I'll admit I always thought he was a ringer, but he's cute and entertainingeven without his curly mullet from the good old days at Bayside!
" Mel B and Maksim danced! It was just like last season all over again. I miss Maks and this only made me want him back on the show that much more.
" We got to relive Marie fainting. ABC has been dying to use that footage again as much as I've been dying to see it.
" The eviction wasn't spread out over the whole show but done in the last 10 minutes. Hurray!
"
Cristián escapes eviction! He deserves to be in the semi-finals even without his amazing performances last night. I'll be rooting for him to make it all the way to the finale.
Hates
" There were two fans from each state "in our fine union" in the audience. What was the significance of that? And why wasn't I included? A heinous oversight, for sure.
" Rascal Flatts - I'm not a country fan so I can't say this was thrilling for me but I'm sure it was great for lots of fans out there. At least we city folk got to enjoy the dances that accompanied the songs!
" I can't believe I'm actually going to say it - this show was too short! Hell is freezing as we speak. I wanted more pro dances and more highlights from previous seasons. I actually forgot some of the people who competed! They should all have had a brief cameo.
"
Marissa moves on? Wow. I'm so perplexed. It was nice to see her so happy but it's sad to see someone more deserving go. I'll be in the fetal position sobbing for days.
" Edyta's look of anguish when they were down to threeand then two. It was obvious she really wanted to move on. She's my girl so I wanted to hug herand ask her where she gets her leg warmers.
"
Mario was robbed! Of course I'm biased, but I do not think he should have been axed before Marissa. This is just ludicrous. He handled his eviction with grace and even gave a shout out to our brave soldiers fighting in Iraq. What a stand-up guy! The next couple of weeks will not be the same for me. Now that he's gone, I'm rooting for Cristián all the way!
So what did you think of the amazing 100th show? Did it live up to the hype? I think so! Are you as horrified as I am that Mario is gone? Did Marissa deserve to stay? We have much to discuss so let's get it started! Also, check the post below for the top 10 dances of the series and chat there about your favorites. Now you must excuse me while I go curl up in a ball.
