We have another Derek lover!! Her name is Mertze and she included pictures!! I love pictures.

Well there goes my glowing report about the best hunk there is on television. I was hoping to be the first to brag about Derek Hough and how wonderfully talented he is. How babelisiously handsome he is. But that was all said in the first report. That’s OK though cause Derek is still the best eye candy in the world, especially when he moves on the dance floor, and no one can change that.

Derek is the only pro I see. He is witty, charming, funny and as stated above oh so handsome. AH, but those are not his best traits! He is talented beyond the scope of words. He is a genius when it comes to choreography. His 50′s “imPASOble” Paso is proof he can do anything on the dance floor. He can “move” so well it makes me melt to watch him dance. I love a lot of his season 10 dances, especially his Foxtrot.

Be still my beating heart! That’s not all he can do. He plays multiple instruments and can sing! I simply adore a man who has more than one gift. To me he is the most romantic man ever.

He can serenade you then sweep you off your feet and dance the night away. Take me away Derek!

Another week, another celebrity eliminated. This time it was Niecy Nash and her professional partner Louis van Amstel that was given the ax. After going through all of their songs, it came to my attention that they only have one recycled song! La Bamba by Ritchie Valens

Here is that Samba as done on Week 5 by Niecy Nash and Louis van Amstel:

This song was previously done as a Mambo by Paulina Porizkova & Alec Mazo of Season 4 on Week 2. (Start at 1:57)

Hello all! Since Jake is the latest celeb to leave the show… naturally this week’s Dance Comparison will involved Jake & Chelsie.

Surprisingly, their only recycled song is Walk Like an Egyption by the Bangles . Here they danced the Quickstep on Week 3:

Which was originally danced by Laila Ali and Maksim Chmerkovskiy of Season 4 Week 9… also as a Quickstep.

Honestly, it isn’t a very fair comparison, since this was Laila’s 2nd Quickstep and done later in the season, while this was Jake’s first Quickstep and done earlier in the season. Regardless this is comparing choreography to recycled songs… So what do you think?

After watching “Movie Night” on Dancing with the Stars, I realized that there were several songs used this season that were recycled from previous seasons.

Since this past week Kate Gosselin was eliminated, I decided to post up her “recycled” dances first. Not only Kate & Tony’s dances, but the previous celeb and pro to have danced them…

Below are two dances done to the song She’s Always a Woman by Billy Joel… both done as a Viennese Waltz

Season 6: Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez

Season 10: Kate Gosselin & Tony Dovolani

I hate that Aiden was sent home…he was just starting to come out of his shell!  He and Edyta were fabulous together and had such a great relationship.  And I think Edyta needs to win one of these seasons…she’s the only pro that’s been on DWTS since season 1 and hasn’t won!

Relive Aiden’s Dances
1. Week 1, Cha-Cha-Cha

2. Week 2: Foxtrot

Week 3: Quickstep

Week 4: Rumba

After missing a week, I’m back with the good, the bad and the incredibly hot!  In my defense, I thought Week 3 was incredibly boring and the most exciting dance was between Chelsie and Derek!

THE GOOD
I can’t get enough of Damian!  He’s so adorable and works so well with Pam that their chemistry is undeniable and fun to watch!  The only thing that gets me about Pam is during interviews when she plays the ‘innocent, sexy bombshell’!  This rumba could’ve gone one of two ways and thank goodness it went to the vulnerable route!  It was elegant and beautiful to watch and that split at the end!  LOVE IT!

THE BAD
I have such mixed emotions about Kate but one thing is for sure, she is a disaster on the dance floor.  Part of me feels bad for her because her life is constantly played out in the media but the other part of me just thinks she’s a ruthless bitch that needs to be sent packing.  Either way, this dance was a mess but Kate was finally having fun.

THE INCREDIBLY HOT
I think I have fallen in love with Evan!  He is so full of life and looks effortless when he dances with Anna!  I love watching his packages when he’s wearing his hat, which makes him look sort of badass….as badass as you can get when on the SOI tour and practicing for DWTS!

Another long week has past and we’re back again with this week’s list of DWTS 2010 music. I’m not sure if we call this week 2 or week 3 since it’s the second week of eliminations, but the third week of shows. Either way, the week between shows has been extra long for me. Has this happened for anyone else?

Enough about that, now on to this weeks list of DWTS music and as always check back each week (or twice a week) to see the latest DWTS 2010 music list.

Evan & Anna danced a Quickstep to the song “Hot Honey Rag” —from Chicago soundtrack
Buzz & Ashly danced a Waltz to the song “What a Wonderful World” —Louis Armstrong
Jake & Chelsie danced a Quickstep to the song “Walk Like An Egyptian” —The Bangles
Niecy & Louis danced a Waltz to the song “With You I’m Born Again” —Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright
Chad & Cheryl danced a Paso Doble to the song “Cancion Del Mariachi” —Los Lobos & Antonio Banderas
Pamela & Damian danced a Paso Doble to the song “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” —The Animals
Aiden & Edyta danced a Quickstep to the song “Hey Soul Sister” —Train
Erin & Maksim danced a Waltz to the song “See The Day” —Dee C. Lee
Kate & Tony danced a Paso Doble to the song “Paparazzi” —Lady Gaga
Nicole & Derek danced a Quickstep to the song “Anything Goes” —Cole Porter

I’m not entirely shocked she was the first to leave since she really doesn’t have a strong fan base. However, I am so sad that Mark is gone but it’s got to be fate since he would’ve been out anyways due to his injury. I don’t know if I could stand to watch Corky with Shannon…that’d be an awkward pairing!

I don’t have anything positive to say about her dances since her technique is terrible but she tried and she made her dad proud! But here are the videos anyways Enjoy

Shannen’s 2 Dances:
Week 1: Viennese Waltz

Week 2: Jive

What some of celebs are saying about Shannen’s early elimination:

@NiecyNash: She might have been dubbed a “bad girl” but to me she was “real”. Shannon will be missed!

@EvanLysacek: SO bummed to see @OfficialMBallas and @DohertyShannen go. Marks performance last night was so heroic and Shannen is the biggest sweetheart

@aidenturner: @DohertyShannen you were awesome !!!! missing you already, doing DWTS won’t be the same without you!!!! have a safe flight back to LA

And we’re back for another season   This has got to be my favorite cast yet!  ABC has finally gotten some more prominent stars…if you can call them that…instead of people we have never even heard of until you google them when the list is announced!  So let’s get started…

THE GOOD
Erin Andrews & Maks: Foxtrot
I so enjoy watching these two dance together, they have such chemistry!  You can tell they really enjoy each other and learning to dance as a couple!  As much as the package showed Erin as a tomboy (i.e. her burping), I thought she was beautiful and elegant and I applaud Maks for having two solos in there for Erin!

THE BAD
Kate Gosselin & Tony: Jive
I really have nothing nice to say about Kate.  She finds anyway possible to extend her 15 minutes of fame and I feel terrible for Tony because he is such a fantastic dancer and teacher and now he has to put up with Kate.

THE INCREDIBLY HOT
Nicole Scherzinger & Derek: Jive
HOLY SMOKES ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!  I just fell in love with Derek all over again!  He is an amazing choreographer and having Nicole not only highlights her…but highlights his talents.  I smell an Emmy nomination from him this season!

Very interesting interview with Derek – don’t let the title mislead you, he actually doesn’t back away AT ALL from Nicole’s previous dance experience.  In fact, I think even Derek detractors will have a tough time finding fault with what he has to say. But maybe I’m overly optimistic on that front.  Anyway, from the Seattle Post – TV Guide, a few excerpts:

TVGuide.com: Anna Trebunskaya says you’ve been busting in on her rehearsals with Evan Lysacek. Are you scoping out the competition?

Derek Hough: Totally! We’re constantly walking in, like, “So what’s going on, guys?” [Laughs] It’s funny because Nicole does this certain move in our Viennese waltz that kind of looks like ice skating, like gliding, so every time she does it, she goes, “It’s the Lysacek!” Everyone’s having a good time. She gets along with everybody and she’s enjoying herself. Nicole’s a really hard worker, but we’ve been playing hard as well too. She’s a huge goofball. I thought I was crazy and goofy, but she’s definitely outmatched me.

TVGuide.com: There seems to be at least one person every season with a performing or dance background that people label a “ringer.” Some say it’s Nicole this season. Does that bother you?
Hough: For me, I don’t think it’s Nicole. I think it could be Evan. He performs choreography on ice. He’s like Baryshnikov on ice! Nicole is like, “Wait a minute. I’m a singer who just happens to do a few chest bumps and a few head rolls.” That’s what she compares her dancing to. But what’s so great about this season is that I don’t think there is a definite ringer. You’ve got lots of people who can be very good. Evan will be tough for so many different reasons. Chad [Ochocinco]‘s got a great personality. We’ve learned in the past that people who’ve danced before don’t necessarily do well, let alone win. The show is so much more than just dancing. It’s about personality, it’s about story, it’s about charisma. Just look at Ty Murray.

TVGuide.com: How much has Nicole’s dance background helped?
Hough: I hate when people say, “No, it’s a totally different monster. It doesn’t help at all.” That’s ridiculous. Of course it helps! I think what helps the most is her musicality. But it is very true that this is hard. People make it look easy, but that’s what’s so hard about it — making it look easy. It’s definitely a struggle, but I think her dance experience has allowed us to up the ante as far as choreography.

TVGuide.com: Who are you excited to see dance?
Hough: I think Pamela Anderson is going to bring something good. She’s with Damian [Whitewood], the new guy, who’s going to bring new energy. Erin Andrews and Maks [Chmerkovskiy] should be something as well. I can’t wait to see Buzz [Aldrin]. Buzz is a little party animal. I went out twice last week and he was at both parties. He was kicking it right until the end. … This guy is a party animal and he’s 80 years old! He’s awesome. When he practices, he wears this shirt with this guy walking on the moon, and I said, “Is that you?” He said, “Yeah, it is, actually.” “Oh, wow!” [Laughs] People say that he’s a moonwalker, and he doesn’t like that. “No, I walked on the moon. I’ve actually walked on it.” It’s pretty funny because it’s true! You’re like, “Right, sorry. Duh. You’re a legend.”
