Let me start by commending
ABC for bringing together such a great group of celebrities and professional
dancers for the 3rd season of Dancing With The Stars. From a dancing
standpoint this is by far the best group which will bring out the best in
the competition. The views vote still counts as half to the final score, so
fan base still has an impact.
The music is still a bit suspect
at times, but for the most part the selections were very good.
Lets start at the bottom and
work our way up.
Tucker Carlson,
Jerry Springer
and
Harry Hamlin
are at a great disadvantage. they do not have the rhythm or poise to keep up
with the others. Jerry has the best chance of outlasting the others, but I
don't think he will be there in the finals.
The Middle.
Monique Coleman,
Sara Evans,
Willa Ford,
Shanna Moakler
are going to need great performances and improvement to make it to the
finals. They all were well rehearsed, but struggled in convincing me that
they were doing more than a routine.
The TOP
Emmitt Smith,
Vivica A Fox,
Mario Lopez,
and
Joey Lawrence
will go far in this competition. They seemed the most natural of the group
on the dance floor and they sure brought the performances. It will be a
great competition, but I think Mario may have the best control and use of
his feet. We just have to see who has the most fans.
I think it safe to say that we
have seen the last of Tucker Carlson.
