Last night on Dancing With the Stars 7, the stars danced the Rumba or the Paso Doble. Brooke/Derek and Warren/Kym soared while Cloris/Corky and Rocco/Karina crashed and burned. After two weeks and three shows on the bottom of the leaderboard, would Cloris finally go home, or would her fan base save her again? If she stays, who will go? I must love y'all and this show because I turned from the White Sox/Twins game to get those questions answered for you.
After the first recap of last night, yes, the first, Warren and Kym were chosen for the Encore Performance of their Matrix inspired Paso Doble by the judges. And let me tell ya, it was just as enjoyable tonight. I still marvel at how that big man can move. Then after the second recap of last night, Tom got right to business. He told us that after the judges scores were combined with our votes the following two couples, in no particular order mind you, were safe: Toni/Alec and Rocco/Karina.

Dancing With the Stars 7: Winner, Winner Big Chicken Dinner!
Hey y'all! Welcome back for week 2 of my Dancing With the Stars 7 recaps. This week the stars and dancers will either do the rumba or the paso doble. Going into the week, I'm looking forward to Lacey's choreography and manly man Maks doing the Paso. As the stars were introduced, I first noticed the costumes. They ran the range from pretty, pretty (bet those are for the rumba) to traditional Spanish dress and then dominatrix wear. They had only 4 days to prepare this week, so it will be interesting to see how they do.
So how'd they do? Who ended up on the top of the leaderboard? Did anyone fall off? Memorable performances? Read the rest of my article here at TVFunspot.com

Dancing With the Stars 7: Week 1 Results Show
Hey y'all! Welcome back to the third night of Premiere Week for Dancing With the Stars 7. Tonight one more couple was eliminated and The Jonas Brothers and Jesse McCartney performed for our listening pleasure. Well ... for someone's listening pleasure because I don't even really know who these kids are. Anyway, whose fans pulled through and who will be going home?
Based on dancing only, Cloris should be leaving. She's hilarious, though, and is very entertaining, so she may be safe. I don't know how big a fan base Kim Kardashian or Ted McGinley have, so I think they may be in danger of leaving instead. Thank goodness we don't have to wait two hours tonight to find out.
They opened the show tonight with all of the pros dancing to "Under Pressure". Wow, that was hot, hot, hot. I loved seeing them all. And to realize that there were brother and sister, father and son, and husband and wife was awesome. In addition to his son, Mark, Corky had two of his students, Derek and Julianne, out there dancing with him, as well.

Dancing With the Stars 7: "I Always Had the Moves, Now I Know the Rules"
Tonight was the second night of the big three night Premiere of Dancing With the Stars 7. All thirteen couples had to learn a second dance this week, but only twelve got to perform. Who was safe and who was the first couple eliminated? And who rocked the house tonight?
After a recap of last night, which saw Brooke and Derek at the top of the leaderboard and Jeffrey and Edyta at the bottom, we learned that they will tell one couple at a time that they were safe and they'd dance right then. Tonight's dances were the Mambo for those that did the Fox Trot last night and the Quick Step for those that did the Cha Cha.

Dancing With the Stars: First Thoughts
Hey y'all! I am so excited about this new season of Dancing With the Stars! This group has such potential for entertainment. Note that I didn't say dancing, but entertainment. There are a couple that I think will be good dancers, but also a couple that I think will be good entertainers.
When I saw the cast, I honestly just sat a moment. They certainly ran the gamut this time. There are a few athletes, some singers, some actors/actresses, a chef, a comedian and Kim Kardashian. They bill her as an actress, but does a sex tape count? One good thing is that I don't see a ringer this season. The past few seasons you could pretty much pick out the winner or the finalists from the first, but this time I can't.

Big Brother 10: Finale Thoughts
Hey y'all. Last night was the Big Brother 10 finale, and I miss it already. I missed Big Brother After Dark last night. Although the last couple of nights have been boring with only Dan and Memphis in the house, it was still pleasant ... you know? This finale was the first one in a while where I didn't have to hold my nose and watch. Either of them would have been fine winning for me. I didn't like the way they did everything, but both played the game and for the most part they played clean.
CBS wastes too much time on recaps at the beginning of each episode. The finale wasn't as bad as last Thursday's show, however. They only recapped once, in color, and not twice, once in color and the other in black and white/sepia tones. And then we got to see the jury waiting for the final jury member. Some of them were still bitter, and it was still funny.
Keesha wasn't the most bitter of the crew, surprisingly, but she still wanted Memphis to be the final juror. Libra wanted it to be Jerry, because he wasn't the 'gingerly old man you thought he was'. Renny didn't want it to be Jerry, because she didn't want to spend any more time with him. Renny must have been off her meds again, because last night she was back to the wacky ole woman she was at the beginning.
It was funny and kind of sad when Jerry appeared. No one got up to hug him or show him any affection. I guess since they didn't need him anymore, they didn't have to be nice. He wasn't bitter at all as he told them what happened after Keesha left and then they started talking about the final 2 before the jury questioning.
Renny really kind of turned me off last night. From her bitterness in the jury house, to her curtsey and camera hogging at the live show, she made me look at her in a different manner. I always knew there was more to her than she showed in the house. I pegged her as a phony, but wow.
Michelle, on the other hand, was actually kind of impressive. Yes, she was still bitter, but I ignore that, haha. She was not fooled by Dan's offer of the trip and took pleasure in letting both Jerry and Memphis know about it. I was also laughing when she called Dan out during the jury questioning. On the trip he told her that it wasn't just him, that it was his alliance that set her up for the backdoor, but he quickly backed down when Michelle asked him about it in front of his alliance. That was about the only time Dan wasn't totally confident.
Dan, basically, had them eating out of his hand by the end of the questioning. His final plea was like the pep talks he gave the girls at that one endurance challenge. Memphis, though, didn't do himself any favors. He never really answered any of the questions, and kind of seemed very insincere. Dan was a pro and Memphis suffered for it. He was totally outplayed here.
Back at the live portion of the show, when the jurors cast their votes, most of them were very classy. And then there was Renny. She had to get more camera time and she went on and on about something ... I don't know what, I tuned her out, but she basically told us that she voted for Dan. Jerry mumbled something about voting for the person that was nice to him (huh?) and that he'd explain later.
In theory, I like the portion of the show where Julie Chen brings back the evicted houseguests that didn't make the jury. In practice, though, it seems that every season only one or two get to talk and the others are ignored. That pretty much happened this year, too. As usual, Brian took over. I guess he appointed himself spokesperson for the entire group and proceded to lecture and analyze the play of the jury members. I liked him when I interviewed him, but his 15 minutes are up. Steven just sat there and nodded his head in agreement with everything Brian said, similar to the chat last week. I don't remember Angie saying a word and Jessie was Jessie.
Actually it was pretty funny when Julie told them about Dan being America's player for a week and America targeting Jessie for everything. Jessie really wasn't happy about it and told America what they could do. Good thing Julie didn't say anything about it until after the votes were cast, because there may have been some changes.
When the votes were finally shown, I was surprised. It ended up going 7-0 for Dan. The jury members decided that Dan played the better game, or they were still under the spell of his pep talk. While that didn't bother me at all, America's Favorite Juror did. I didn't vote, but if I had, I definitely would not have voted for Keesha. I've already told y'all how I feel about females that call other females the C word. From my wanderings on the web, Keesha ought to thank April for this money. I don't know how many times I saw where someone posted that they voted 50 bazillion times for Keesha to win just so that they could see April's bitter beer face. Well, Keesha won the cash, and the voters got scammed. April was very ladylike and gracious when she congratulated Keesha.
All in all, it was a decent finale. I wish we could have a show like 'After the Rose'. Come back in a couple of weeks after the jurors have been home and told what really went on in the house. Wonder how they'd act then. I'm sure we'll get some inkling as the post-show interviews and chats start happening. What did y'all think of the show? Were you pleased with the outcome? Comment below.

Big Brother 10: Who's Gonna Take It All?
It seems to me as if this season of Big Brother has gone by very quickly. I've really enjoyed it. The cast and the lack of 'twists' have, for the most part, redeemed the season for me. I admit that I was burnt out and disillusioned after Big Brother 7, 8, and 9. I began the season cautiously optimistic after reading the cast bios and watching the interviews with Diane Henry of Big Brother 5. Although it didn't live up to the hype, the season did keep my interest and the winner will not be the lesser of two evils.
Dan, for me, was the most surprising. After reading his bio on the CBS website, I knew that I wasn't going to like him. I had him pegged as a closed minded, holier-than-thou jerk. I was pleasantly surprised by his demeanor. His goodbye message to Steven was another eye opener, and watching him listen to people was interesting. Yes, I know that much of it may have been strategy, but Steven wasn't on the jury, so that wouldn't have helped him.
Don't get me wrong, I haven't put him on a pedastal or anything like that. I totally disliked the veto roulette game he played and I didn't care for his mind games. It seemed that he played this game head and shoulders more intelligently than the others. At the beginning, he was dead man walking because of his alliance with Brian.
Have you noticed that on each of the past two seasons, someone involved with a dead alliance has made it to the end? Zach in BB8 was the last of the Mrs. Robinson alliance, and Ryan was targeted last season because of his relationship with Jen. Will this be the year that the doomed alliance member wins it all?
Memphis has played a very different game than Dan. He, too, was targeted early. Brian, correctly as it turned out, felt that Memphis was a big threat to win it all. In my interview with Brian earlier this season, he predicted a Memphis win. Each time Memphis was targeted early in the game, someone else appeared on the scene to take his place. First it was Brian and then Jessie showed his behind.
Memphis made a couple of really beneficial alliances that managed to save him and allow him to keep his hands clean. Keesha really went to bat for him. I know that a lot of fans are really ticked off at Memphis because of him evicting Keesha, but I honestly think that it was the best move for him. It could have been handled a little better, but it was the best move. Keesha would have been stronger in the final 3 Head of Household competition than Jerry, and I think that if she'd won she would have taken Dan. And although Dan is all Renegade power now, I have my doubts that he'd have taken Memphis to the Final 2.
So who will it be? Dan, the master manipulator, or Memphis, the laid back UTR player? After the jury questioning, I still have doubts, and it seems that they do, too. Both guys came back feeling both confidence and doubt. It seems that the jury didn't give them any clues. I guess the main confusion was coming from Keesha, April and Ollie. It seems as though Keesha has realized that Dan was just as responsible for her eviction as Memphis was. Ollie is probably still angry at Dan about breaking his word, but he's disliked Memphis for the longest time.
My initial thoughts were that Dan would have Keesha, Renny and maybe Libra. I wasn't sure about Michelle because she seemed to realize that the outing was simply a way to work her for her vote, but did it work? And I thought that Memphis would have Jerry, April and maybe Ollie. We'll see how it all works out Tuesday night. Who is your pick to take it all and win Big Brother 10?

Big Brother 10: And the Alliance Crumbles
I think it's finally dawned on some of the Big Brother 10 houseguests, that only one of them can win. This hasn't been a summer vacation, although some of them have acted like it. Feelings are getting hurt, tears are being shed, and accusations are being hurled. I love it!!!
Keesha is convinced that Memphis is going to vote to evict her tonight. She's right, but he says that he can't tell her. She has totally gone drama queen. Less than a week after she blew off Renny and refused to share with her that the boys were keeping her, Keesha, she's going after Memphis for refusing to share his vote. He didn't want to tell her because he knew that she'd whine, cry, accuse, pout, etc. And that's exactly what she did.
Why would Memphis keep her, other than show friendship? Memphis has set himself up for F2, if he does vote to evict her. Against Jerry, he knows that Dan will pick him, and he knows that Jerry doesn't like Dan, so Jerry will pick him, Memphis. With Keesha there, he was never sure of her or Dan's relationship. It would have been more of a gamble for him. He knows he doesn't do well in the mental challenges, so he's having to depend on someone to take him.
And Dan is playing them all. Dan played innocent and had Keesha promising to work for him in the Jury House. He told Memphis that he was going to keep Keesha calm, and then he threw Memphis under the bus. He still has not told anyone of his outing with Michelle. He underestimates Jerry, though, and that may cost him. He totally discounts his ability to win the final Head of Household competition.
And whudathunk it that Jerry would make it to F3? Not me, that's for sure. He's sitting pretty good, actually. He could win this thing if he makes it to the final 2. I figure he will have April, Ollie and probably Michelle's vote, and after last week, maybe even Renny's. I don't like the way he's acted in the game, but he's played the game. Actually I think it would be quite amusing to see him win after the smugness of the other three.
Tonight, Tuesday, is the first part of the final Head of Household and is usually endurance. With these three, I don't see it lasting all that long, really. Wednesday will be the second part, and Thursday on the second live show of the week, will be the recap of the second part and the third part live. Then the winner of the Head of Household will immediately evict the last jury member. Then it will be a long dry spell. The live feed watchers will be lurking to catch the final two after the jury questioning, but other than that I can imagine total boredom until next Tuesday.
Don't forget to watch the live show tonight and catch a Brian/Steven live chat on feed 4 on Wednesday night at 6 PT. Be sure to keep checking this page for updates on the HoH competition, written and the voice blog. Who do y'all want to win this thing? Comment below and catch y'all later.
