Dancing with the Stars: Season 11
I can freestyle dance fairly well, but I have absolutely no clue how to do specialty dances like the Texas Two-Step, Ballroom, Salsa, etc. I've even taken some lessons, but to no avail. I'm still a klutz.
Because I've made the effort to learn, I know how difficult it is, which is why I admire the people who participate in Dances with the Stars. I watch sometimes with my jaw on the floor at the intricacies of some of the moves. They really are amazing.
As couples were eliminated one by one I was perplexed that Bristol Palin and her partner managed to avoid the axe every week. I give her a lot of credit for entering the competition with zero experience as an actress, performer or dancer and going head to head with other contestants who left the womb doing a dance routine. However, I felt that there was a lot of back room politicizing going on as well, which helped feed the ratings.
When Brandy got dumped in favor of Bristol I was really taken aback and couldn't understand how people could elevate her another level at the expense of a woman who had so much more obvious talent. Comparing the dancing talents of both is like comparing a bottle of exceptional Pinot Noir with a bottle of Boon's Farm. It's unfortunate that people voting were more concerned about Bristol's mother's political credentials than Bristol's dancing abilities.
What counted, however, was the final and I was glad to see Jennifer Grey and her partner, Derek Houghm, give an amazing performance at the final and ultimately showed everyone that true talent always rises to the top.
