Question: I don't watch reality TV but have found
Dancing with the Stars enjoyable, addictive and my one guilty pleasure each week. Frankly, I'm amazed by what these people are able to do each week. I have always loved good dancing, and
DWTS makes me smile. But my question is, who in the world picks the atrocious musical accompaniment to the dances? This week's episode, with the tango and jive, really brought out the poor musical choices like a big red flag; the tangos especially were disserviced by the awful musical choices. Every week I shake my head and find myself wondering, "Who in the world thought
that song would work?" What do you think?
Answer: I don't disagree, but it doesn't really bother me. The whole show is so cheesy, but in a good, fun, guilty-pleasure way, from Tom Bergeron's corny jokes to the very presence of Jerry Springer in the competition. The fact that the music is so jukebox generic is just so much more marzipan clogging the arteries. (By the way, even if there weren't other things to watch, there's no way I could sit through the results show live. The minute that preening diva Vittorio opened his mouth during one of the musical dance numbers, I was never more thankful for my DVR fast-forward.)
