Boy I could do without Snooki. I love the addition of Bill Nye. And this year's ringer is Corbin Bleu. And the sentimental fav will be Valerie Harper.

2. Bill Nye!

7. It might be worth watching just for Bill Nye if nothing else! My eyeballs almost...

popped out of my head when I saw his name on the list.

9. Sexual tension and evolution

3. Haven't watched that so called show since Brisdull Palin was on!

4. She was on twice and it almost killed the show

Actually ever sine she was on the ratings have gone down dramatically.

I think they did the right thing this time. No real controversial stars. Except maybe Leah Remini. No-one political. Please DWTS stay away from politics!!

5. Regardless of Brisdull's politics - SHE COULD NOT DANCE!

That's when I thought I could find a better use of my time than to watch her partner drag that board around the floor!

6. We called her dancing cow-stomping.

Brisdull stomped around like a cow.

I am not graceful. But I am not planning on appearing on DWTS.

Jennifer Beals has been asked many times to appear on that show. She says they could back a truckload of money up to her door, and she would not do it. She is not a dancer, she says. I am glad she is not willing to humiliate herself.

Some of the contestants are there for fun, and are good sports. Some of them are trying to make a point. I prefer the people who are simply having fun and learning something. It is a fluffy show, a guilty pleasure.
