It appears that media buzz mandates which contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” is one of the most essential. This year is off to a start as the Bristol Palin “Dancing with the Stars” year. Her presence on the show probably has less to do with anything Bristol has really done than the fact that Sarah Palin is her mother. For a seemingly token addition, Bristol managed to do a fairly decent job. The fall season of the show, just like the spring run of the show, is packed with celebrities. This season is heavy on stooges from reality TV, and each and every season has fewer individuals that did things like act or something else. Aside from the strong presence of individuals who seem to have not really done much of note, it should be a good season.
Not the most powerful start up
Anything Palin, except sadly Michael Palin, commands lots of attention these days. That said, the Bristol Palin “Dancing with the Stars” debut routine wasn’t really terrible. Bristol Palin tied with Florence Henderson, the mom from “The Brady Bunch” with 18, according to CNN. Evidently, dancing is the one thing that dares to hassle the Hoff. The bottom three contestants were David Hasselhoff, Margaret Cho, and “The Situation” from reality TV. Michael Bolton should determine how he is intended to stay on the show if he scores a 16 again. Audrina Partridge from “The Hills” scored a 19. So did Kurt Warner. Rick Fox, a previous NBA star, scored a 22. Kyle Massey, a teen actor from several Disney shows, garnered an amazing 23, as did performer Brandy. Brandy really gets a reunion of sorts, as she and Hasselhoff were both judges on “America’s Got Talent” However, who the winner was going to be was never in doubt.
Nobody puts Baby in a corner
Never mind any famous offspring; Jennifer Grey is on the show and that means that “Dirty Dancing” is going to get brought up. Grey co-starred with Patrick Swayze in the film as main character Baby, the subject of the famous line “No one puts Baby in a corner” The big draw for fans is to see if she still has her dancing shoes. That type of makes the Jennifer Grey “Dancing with the Stars” appearance that much more special. It turns out Grey does, as she and partner Derek Hough scored 24 out of 30 for the win.
This season really should be good
This, along with every other season, should be incredibly buzzworthy and for good reason. You will find people in the cast that have a lot of talent. Even for dancing. Given, parading around celebrities is the biggest object of the show, and it will always be good for that.
