I’ll be the first to tell you how much I love dance competition shows. It pains me that “So You think You Can Dance” and “Dance Moms” are on at the same time and I am no longer with my trusty DVR service (and what’s up Cablevision with your on demand? you are the worst!) And as much as I believe life would be better if we all danced it out, I am not a fan of the top-rated “Dancing with the Stars.” Occasionally, if there is nothing else on, I will switch over to see how the C-rate celebs are fairing. However, this season, I’m totally in!
Perhaps you have seen some of the names announced for the new cast: Amber Riley from “Glee”, Leah Remini from “The King of Queens” (and the recent Scientology hoopla), Corbin Bleu from High School Musical (or from the chicken dish, seriously, I think of chicken cordon bleu every time I hear his name, which has been like 4 times max), Snooki from “Jersey Shore” (and the source of 60% of my eye-rolls in 2009) and Bill Nye the science guy (Bill, Bill, Bill!).
But wait, who is that tall blonde in the background? ::GASP:: ELIZABETH BERKLEY. You guys, I’m SO EXCITED.
Y’all, Jesse Spano Elizabeth Berkley is going to be dancing with Val Chmerkovskiy, whom I mistook for douche-doable Maksim Chmerkovskiy (brothers, me thinks – see, I don’t really watch this show). There is sooo much that I love about this that I don’t even know where to start.
Audience Support
I best see the rest of the “Saved By The Bell” cast supporting her in the audience for quick cutaways.
Just give Mark Paul Gosselaar a few stiff drinks, he’ll show his support.
First, MPG totally trolls the internet. Second, he knows the theory about Jesse and AC being each other’s beards. That alone deserves a post.
A Gazillion Ways to Reference Showgirls
Again, there could be a whole post about the totally awesome because it’s just that bad movie, “Showgirls.” Besides it being a go-to spank bank imagery for the men of the 90s, it was just your average tale of a hooker-turn-“dancer”-turn-showgirl-turn-sleeping-her-way-on-top movie. Plus, if you think the tampon scene is gross in Fifty Shades, wait till you see the, “Don’t, I have my period” but he puts his hands down there anyway to check scene. ::GAGS::
Seriously, if DWTS doesn’t give us a poll dance start to a number…I cannot even fathom it not happening.
And please EB, wear a Versace dress on a DWTS Red carpet and call it Versayce.
This season of DWTS starts on Monday, September 16th at 8pm EST.
Who will be joining me? Who is your favorite new cast member?
