Money Can't Buy Everything

Hey Mark, at least you lost 30 lbs! Mark Cuban, Kym Johnson by Carol Kaelson/ABC

Episode Recap: Eviction Five

Well my friends, you did it! The voting public has spoken and finally sent Mark Cuban back to his gagillion dollar mansion. Sniff sniff. How horrible. Since he didn't end up in the final two last week, I was a bit scared that two decent dancers were going to end up there and possibly be sent home early. Luckily, America woke up and realized he had to go. He really was the right choice, no?

Thank God my Helio was spared the doom of the bottom two, but I wasn't glad Jane Seymour ended up there either. We're down to seven competitors now, and they are all doing well. Next week we will have to face facts and send someone good home. I shudder at the thought!

Who is it going to be? If I had to pick the person I think deserves to go next - based on technique - I would say it has to be Marie Osmond. But as Tori Spelling said, it really could be anyone's game.

Speaking of Marie, did anyone else think it was a bit sadistic to keep showing her infamous collapse? I was glad to see what happened during that commercial break last night, but by the fifth rehash of her unfortunate digger onto the ballroom floor, I started to feel really bad for her. What's worse than fainting in front of millions of viewers? Oh, I know: having it exploited in front of your eyes for ratings.

But no one needs exposure more than Jennifer Lopez. I heard her new album didn't debut in the top ten on the American charts, and apparently that's a failure. Is that why she's on this show? I don't know, but I did enjoy her performances. "Let's Get Loud" is a classic, and her new song "Do It Well" didn't suck. I'd say that's a successful appearance. How is she going to tour for this album with a baby on the way?

So that very well may be the last deserved eviction of the season. What awaits us next week? Can anything really top the drama of that fall? I doubt it, but by all means, check back here for all the poop that's fit to scoop. Later skaters!
