SPOILERS!!!!! DWTS Season 12, Week 8 – The Results!

Well, kids, the DWTS gods did indeed spite me as requested. πŸ™‚ Karma is MY bitch. πŸ™‚ Courtney read my mind and just posted something similar to this on Twitter:

Attention fans of Kirstie, Hines and Chelsea – Ralph Macchio just got a SERIOUS number of votes and is officially a force to be reckoned with. Boyfriend needed AT LEAST 23,000 votes more than Romeo per 1 million votes cast. That is SERIOUS, ladies and gentlemen. Like I said, never underestimate the sympathy vote OR the typical DWTS demographic matching a dancer. Ralph’s best known movies put his fans square in that demographic – and they are likely to vote.

Take heed, Ralph fans. If you want him to stick NEXT week, you best get more verified accounts. If you were paying attention to the Berg tonight, there is a 3rd dance next week which is worth a 15 point bonus. Depending on how they use it and what the other couples are allotted, they can basically pick the person they definitely want in the final. I doubt it will be Ralph.

Very sad to see Romeo go home – very unfortunate and I would rather it be someone else, including Kirstie – much as I love her.

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)

DWTS Season 12, Week 8 – Dancing by the Numbers!

Lord save me from this season already! I was only impressed by the two at the bottom of the leaderboard and ya know? This tells me there is a bit of insurance policy writing going on. Chelsea and Hines both got a nice policy as did Kirstie, although to a lesser extent. Chelsea deserved hers more than Hines, but no way did she deserve that many 10s. Sorry, not buying it. Unless no one is voting for them Chelsea and Hines should be safe, while the judges seem to want to see the backside of Ralph as he leaves the building. No, he didn’t do perfect dances, but his dances were close to on par with anything that Kirstie and Romeo did for their second dances. No way in hell does Ralph fall 6 points below Romeo and 7 points below Kirstie. Don’t get me wrong – I love both Kirstie and Romeo, and I think Romeo’s Tango was the dance of the night…but 6 and 7 points?? Why don’t you just point at Ralph and say “Get the f@#k out.”

That said, I would prepare for a shocking elimination tonight. πŸ™‚ Ralph has a HUGE hurdle to overcome, but it can be done. Don’t ever underestimate the sympathy vote. Not to mention that his age and the age of The Karate Kid movies intersects pretty perfectly with the main demo for DWTS. Unfortunately, the person who will suffer for it is the person who danced my favorite dance of the night – Romeo. The only person who I wouldn’t mind if they went home is Chelsea and Mark, although I give mad props to Chelsea for telling Mark basically what I’ve been saying since week 1 – you go girl!! Mad props. However, I don’t see her going home, not with Ralph that far down in the standings. :::sigh::: So, where are we?

The Judges Scores and Percentages

Place Celebrity Score Percentage
1. Chelsea 55 21.15
2. Hines 54 20.77
3. Kirstie 53 20.38
4. Romeo 52 20.00
5. Ralph 46 17.69

The problem for the judges (since they are the ones who created this mess – I think intentionally) is that IF Ralph manages to get what he needs to stick around, it seriously opens the door for a truly shocking elimination. Why? Because they’ve bunched all the other dancers somewhat close together, although the point spread between Romeo and Chelsea rather insulates her. They kinda hosed Romeo on his first dance and they were excessively mean to Ralph – which often results in rabid voting by those fanbases. Now, there was a lot of whining on twitter last night about how Chelsea was hosed (Seriously? She got two 10s. You want Len’s head up her…never mind. πŸ™‚ ) but I saw just as much “we gotta vote for Ralph!!!” The potential losers in this situation are Romeo and Kirstie, and I think Kirstie can beat Romeo every time. Which leaves us with Romeo. The guy who, IMO, had the best dance of the night. Anyone who reads this site regularly knows I’ve been on the Kirstie/Ralph/Hines train since day one, so that should tell you something. Dancing, to me, isn’t just executing steps correctly – it’s the feel of the dance, the way the music combines with movement, the costuming – EVERYTHING, which in turn either does or doesn’t make an emotional connection with me. Romeo and Ralph did that for me last night, so to lose either of them is, for me, a total bummer.

Anyway, provided that Ralph doesn’t bow out (and I don’t think he will, since Karina was asking for votes last night), he has some serious work to do to stick around. He needs ONE of the following things to happen in order to stay on the show:

– He needs 23,080 more votes per million votes cast in order to pass Romeo, OR;
– He needs 26,930 more votes per million votes cast in order to pass Kirstie, OR;
– He needs 30,800 more votes per million votes cast in order to pass Hines, OR;
– He needs 34,650 more votes per million votes cast in order to pass Chelsea.

Now besides noting the fairly large numbers that Ralph needs to stick around, note the fairly compact grouping of those numbers. That illustrates that once you get past Ralph, there isn’t that much spread between the dancers. IF Ralph can manage 24,000 votes, it could get interesting. πŸ™‚ Sorry, but I’m hoping it DOES get interesting.

Ah, so what are the odds that Ralph beats out Romeo?? Even money, I think. Romeo only needed a tiny number of votes to beat out Kendra last week (was that only last week? It feels like a lifetime ago), and for all we know he only made it by one over a contestant who many were finding annoying, to say the least. Let’s take Ralph out of it and say that his fans killed themselves voting. What does Romeo need, in that case?

– He needs 3,850 more votes per million votes cast to pass Kirstie, OR;
– He needs 7,700 more votes per million votes cast to pass Hines, OR;
– He needs 11,550 more votes per million votes cast to pass Chelsea.

I don’t see him getting that many more than Chelsea, although I suppose it’s possible that he could get more than Kirstie. But I doubt that too. Unfortunately. Since there are only five people still in the competition, I’ll just show you the rest of the numbers. What does Kirstie need to beat Hines and Chelsea?

– She needs 3,850 more votes per million votes cast to beat Hines, and;
– She needs 7,700 more votes per million votes cast to beat Chelsea.

In order for Hines to beat Chelsea (if it comes to that), he needs only 3,850 more votes per million votes cast than her. This is why it could get interesting. For Chelsea to be the Audrina-style “shocking elimination”, ALL of the following needs to happen:

– Ralph gets 34,650 more votes per million votes cast, AND;
– Romeo gets 11,550 more votes per million votes cast, AND;
– Kirstie gets 7,700 more votes per million votes cast, AND;
– Hines gets 3,850 more votes per million votes cast.

I don’t really see the first two happening at all. But if they do? I can see the last two EASILY happening. Which means Chelsea would go home. Now, if she were dancing with Tony or Jonathan or Louis, she would be in serious trouble for a shocking elimination. But she’s not, she’s dancing with Mark, who’s fans are more rabid that either Maks’ or Derek’s. It’s not about numbers of fans, but how willing they are to stay up all night to get retribution for their wronged heroine. πŸ˜€ I have a theory that rabidity is inversely proportional to age – remember, Derek is dating Cheryl Cole. I know from young, rabid fans. πŸ™‚ For that reason, I think Chelsea is safe. Or course, since I’m dealing in generalities, one never knows.

So who do I think is going home? Well, I think it will come down to Romeo and Ralph, thanks to the judges. And my head is telling me Ralph can’t get the votes, but my gut is telling me he WILL get the votes. So which is correct? My head or my gut? I have no idea. πŸ™‚ Maybe if I make the easy call and say Ralph will go home, the DWTS gods will smite me and send someone else packing. So…that’s what I’m doing. Working Karma to my advantage. πŸ˜‰

Dancing With The Stars 12, Week 8 – Interviews After The Dance

Wow, what a great night it was last night. It was full of heart, guts, and stamina with our couples performing to two dances one, of which, they didn’t know the music for until showtime. But, they did it. George Pennacchio from KTLA/OnTheRedCarpet has some great interviews up showcasing and highlighting everything that went down.

First up, Chelsea and Mark are excited to be at the top of the leaderboard again, but, say there is no “security” in this competition. They hope to stick around.

Such class acts and humble as always which is Kym and Hines all the way. Hines was excited and honored to be compared to Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire which was how Kym was inspired for the dance.

Romeo repeats how he is in this thing for the kids and Chelsea. No matter what happens tonight, they just wanted to get out there and celebrate and have fun last night which they did.

In this interview, George starts out saying America’s heart broke for Ralph last night with his injury and he’s right! It did. They talk of the injury and how hard it was to dance, but, Ralph doesn’t want to quit after getting this far. George says Karina is a mother figure this Season. He says we are seeing a different Karina and it’s for all the right reasons. I so agree. They hope their fans will keep them in. Be sure to watch this all the way to the end for the comparisons to the Karate Kid. If you are like myself, it will bring tears to your eyes. I so hope these two make it and don’t have to pull out.

Below is Kirstie and Maks….goofy as always, but, they are proud of themselves. Kirstie talks about Maks being the best choreographer. Maks mentions how this was the hardest week of his life and Kirstie was stronger than he was. He explains why he threw his Mic off which was not at her. Kirstie says their dancing relationship is like a “great romance”. This is must see interview as well.

And that’s not all. Donny Osmond was a guest on Good Morning America today with his review of the night. Donny says Len is picking too much on Mark. He thinks Mark and Chelsea are the best couple this Season. He thinks Chelsea, Hines, and Kirstie will be the three to make it to the Finals. He doesn’t think Ralph will bow out of the competition and if he doesn’t, Romeo will be going home tonight. Hmm, we’ll see?

Ok, that’s it for now Guys. Here’s to the results show! I can’t wait for Dance Center. πŸ˜‰ xxx (Heidi’s Note: Shut up, Donny. That is all.)

Pure DWTS 2011 – Bristol Palin Has Landed Her Own Reality Show And Did She Have Plastic Surgery?

Ok, so I know I promised no more publicity for Bristol Palin. lol But, this just can’t be helped. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Bristol Palin is about to embark in starting her own Reality Show. BIO has ordered ten half-hour episodes of the yet untitled show which will track Bristol and her son’s move from Alaska to Los Angeles, CA. to work at a small charity and live with the Massey brothers, Kyle (her former Dancing With The Stars competitor) and Chris. Here are some more details from the link which also mentions rumors of Bristol having plastic surgery recently. What do you think? Do you think she had something done and how do you think she looks? Lastly, will you watch Bristol’s new Reality Show and do you think it will be a success? Or do you think it will bomb?

β€œBristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to,” McKillop said in a statement. β€œHer personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she’s opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers.β€œ

The project is being produced by Associated Television International for BIO. David McKenzie and Jim Romanovich serve as executive producers for Associated Television International. David McKillop, Tom Moody and Andy Berg serve as the executive producers for BIO.

The show is set to air at the end of this year.

Bristol already has plenty of material to work with.

She recently fueled cosmetic surgery rumors by attending a Candie’s Foundation 2011 benefit gala looking thinner and appearing to have an angular jaw line and pronounced chin (she hasn’t commented on numerous reports).

Bristol’s new show also will be a platform for her to raise awareness about the struggles of being a single mother (the boy’s father is tabloid fodder Levi Johnston, who is currently penning a tell-all on the Palin family).

“Well, Tripp was born into a one-parent home…a single-parent home… and it’s difficult for him,” she recently told CBS News. “You know, I don’t have a college education yet. I don’t have a steady job. And it’s difficult for all teen moms, no matter what they’re background is,” she added.

My thoughts: I think Bristol did have something done to her face(chin and cheeks?). I do like the darker hair color on her and the hair extensions. As for this new Reality Show, I think it will bomb like her Mom’s did. And no, I won’t be watching. I also will be disappointed and not think much of her if she uses this show as a platform to diss Levi in any way. If she does, she will only be hurting her son.

Thanks to John and Candace for the link! πŸ˜‰
