Dancing with the Stars Season 5 Week 3: Rewatch

Hey again everyone. Like I said, we're getting back on track. It's week 3 and I'm really excited. From what I remember, this is when several couples show themselves as true contenders. So let's start.

Sabrina and Mark- Jive (Judges' Score=27, My Score=9)- This was so good and almost perfect. I have no notes outside of one kick right before the worm that was out of sync. These two are so good that the one very small mistake that they made stuck out like a sore thumb. That's it.

Cameron and Edyta- Tango (Judges' Score=23, My Score=8)- There we go. Cameron is figuring it out. He improved so much. His hold was great. His posture was amazing. I do think the character of the dance was slightly lacking for a tango, but I'm gonna attribute that to the song. Can't really do slow and passionate with The Beat Goes On. Otherwise, it was great.

Mark and Kym- Jive (Judges' Score=20, My Score=6)- Mark did a lot better tonight. He was less loosey goosey. His technique was better. He understood movement a bit more. Like CAI, I agree that he's dancing like a person that is trying to look like a dancer and not just dancing as a dancer himself. He also got lost in the middle section. He did keep going, so props to him for not giving up and fighting his way through that.

Jennie and Derek- Tango (Judges' Score=26, My Score=8)- JENNIE! YES! Okay so Jennie killed that. What a comeback. Her footwork was really really good. Jennie attacked the dance with such confidence and a fierceness that took the dance to the next level. I still want her to work on her posture more. But, this was the breakout that she needed.

Mel and Maks- Jive (Judges' Score=27, My Score=9)- Mel killed this dance. She has improved so much in such a short amount of time. Like I said at the beginning of the post, this was a special week on this particular season. Most of the couples really brought their A-game.

Wayne and Cheryl- Tango (Judges' Score=18, My Score=5)- This was Wayne's best dance of the season. I liked the mood of the dance. Wayne really had the character down pat. The dancing itself, while a little less small and steppy, still needs more work. But this was a great dance for them to leave on for sure. I'm glad they got to have this moment. Also, quick sn: I forgot how good Drew was as cohost. Someone get him on the line and bring him back!

Floyd and Karina- Jive (Judges' Score=21, My Score=7)- This was a real solid dance. Definitely his best dance so far. Floyd has all of the elements needed to be a fantastic dancer, he just has to work on the fine details. If he had just pointed his feet, this would've been straight 8s. If he straightened up his body, we could throw 9s in there. He truly has it all. It just lacks finesse right now.

Jane and Tony- Tango (Judges' Score=27, My Score=9)- This was a really beautiful dance. Jane's technique was really good. And her frame? *chef's kiss* I think I was most impressed with just how strong her hold was. I usually get on Tony's case for making his routines too soft, but it was actually perfect for this particular dance. All the best parts of Jane really got to shine. I also want to draw attention to the fact that Tony took a very backseat approach to this week with the package and the backstage interview. I miss when pros (and the host and producers) understood that we really don't need to hear too much from the pros during extremely personal moments for the celebs. They handled Jane's mother's passing so well. That is such a stark difference from the way they've handled other passings in celeb's families over the last decade of the show.

Helio and Julianne- Jive (Judges' Score=24, My Score=8)- Although this wasn't as good as his mambo, it was still a great performance. Helio did have a few mistakes and he also seemed like he was dancing through mud at moments and I'm not sure if his foot problem had something to do with that. Still as charming as ever and exudes so much fun and joy out on the floor. It just wasn't his week, but that's okay.

Marie and Jonathan- Tango (Judges' Score=26, My Score=8)- As a performance, this was so good. Marie really had the character down and gave it so much depth. The dance was also quite good as well. Two notes that I want to make. The first is that her posture was caving in. Like Len said, she needed to lift her upper body to open that back up. Also, I wish she had a bit more power through her legs. Otherwise, it was great and definitely her best dance so far.

I want to quickly say that this season reminds me of season 24 in the sense that the women were mostly ringers (to varying degrees) and the men weren't though a few had natural talent. The difference this season is that the male pros are actually getting some incredible dancing out of their partners and the male celebs haven't given up. It's very interesting to me.

My Rankings and Scores Out of 30:

1 Sabrina and Mark- 27 = Mel and Maks- 27 = Jane and Tony- 27 4 Jennie and Derek- 26 = Marie and Jonathan- 26 6 Helio and Julianne- 24 = Cameron and Edyta- 24 8 Floyd and Karina- 21 9 Mark and Kym- 18 10 Wayne and Cheryl- 16

Now the bottom 2 were Floyd and Wayne. And Wayne was sent home. I do think that it was the right decision. Like I said earlier, I'm glad they were able to go out on a high note. Next week, we'll be back again. So I will talk to you all soon!

DAG (2000-01)

In today's review, I find the Secret Service detail might make for some comedy. As I attempt a positive review of the short lived sitcom DAG #DavidAlanGrier #DeltaBurke #DavidRasche #StephenDunham #MelJackson #EmmyLaybourne #LaurenTom #PaulFTompkins

The Secret Service, the ever-vigilant guard of the President, is tasked with holding the launch apparatus of nuclear annihilation, fighting the foes of the treasury, and more notably, protecting the President from imminent doom. You would imagine the stoic faces of the sun-glassed guards to be almost robotic, with their tireless devotion, forgetting that they are humans, with real flaws and…

As Zanuck Sr. repeatedly told his son, had Valley of the Dolls been a product of the Hollywood studio system at its apex, in less than a week he would have assigned it to a contract director, one or more of the studio’s stable of thirty-plus top screenwriters, an available cameraman, production and costume designer, a composer, and a cast selected from 20th’s contract talent roster. It isn’t hard to imagine a forties-era Valley of the Dolls. On tap at the studio were any number of great beauties and “types,” some of them quite talented. And if those weren’t quite right, Zanuck might have arranged to borrow talent from other studios. There was Gene Tierney, Linda Darnell, or Jeanne Crain to play the reserved New Englander Anne Welles. Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, or Lana Turner might have played the luckless showgirl Jennifer North. The young Bette Davis, Susan Hayward, or Ida Lupino would have fit as brilliantly talented, tormented Neely O’Hara. Tyrone Power/Gregory Peck/Cornel Wilde could have slipped easily into the role of suave, slippery Lyon Burke, alongside Dana Andrews as press agent Mel, Vincent Price as Charles Revson–inspired cosmetics empire maven Kevin Gillmore, and Clifton Webb as fashion designer Ted Casablanca. For good measure, Zanuck could have thrown in Gertrude Lawrence as fading Broadway virago Helen Lawson, Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin/Vic Damone as Tony Polar, and Geraldine Fitzgerald as Miriam, sister of the sexy, childlike crooner. Or had Zanuck made the movie later in his career, he could have helped himself to the talents of, respectively, Hope Lange, Diane Varsi, or Shirley Jones as Anne, Marilyn Monroe, Joan Collins, or Debra Paget as Jennifer, Joanne Woodward as Neely, Richard Burton or Stephen Boyd as Lyon, Roddy McDowall as Ted Casablanca, Claudette Colbert or Mary Martin as Helen, Elvis Presley as Tony with Angela Lansbury as Miriam. But in 1966, the days of the studio system and exclusive contracts were on life support. With the long shadow of Darryl F. Zanuck looming over Valley of the Dolls, it would take Richard D. Zanuck, producer David Weisbart, and director Mark Robson long, torturous months and many reversals before the casting—let alone the entire production—finally pulled together. And, from his Paris headquarters, Zanuck Sr. thought that was laughable—when he didn’t find it infuriating.

-- Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!: Deep Inside Valley of the Dolls, the Most Beloved Bad Book and Movie of All Time, Stephen Rebello

Rebello's bonkers fancasts here have captivated me.

Romance by Three Sugars

Hello dear readers! I know I've been teasing this series since forever, but now I'm RELAUNCHING IT!!!

I've properly planned it and now there's a lot of writing happening in this direction, so I hope you enjoy these little appetisers and get better acquainted with our gentlemen.

Below, you can choose the flavour of your affair by picking the most suitable soundtrack to your romance. Careful! It's the lyrics of the songs that matter, the vibe is always elegant and old fashioned. Also, there might be an issue since all three are Kim's, but only one is *The* Mr. Kim.

Pick wisely! Enjoy your romance 😉

Romanced by Mr. Kim

Romanced by Mr. Irresponsible

Romanced by Mr. Charming

P.s. There are some old Italian romance songs, which I adore, that perfectly mirror the vibe of our gentlemen, so I hope you will enjoy those too. Also, let's celebrate the power of women of colour in the soul and blues tradition. I will forever be thankful for their contribution and will forever pray for them. Let's make sure no one will ever have to experience the pain some of them had to go through.

Dancing with the Stars Season 5: Week 2 Rewatch

Sorry about the delay. I was dealing with headaches several days last week. So you all will get both week 2 and week 3 this week. So let's get into week 2. Everyone performed on the same night, so the posts are back to normal.

Mel and Maks- Quickstep (Judges' Score=23, My Score=8)- This was a pretty good dance. I don't think it was as good as their cha-cha, but it was still strong. Her posture was actually really good and she moved well. There were some out of sync moments between herself and Maks, but that's really it.

Mark and Kym- Mambo (Judges' Score=18, My Score=5)- Mark is an extremely awkward mover. He tries really hard, but the dance did not translate this week. I did see a few instances of nice arm lines. But yeah, it just didn't work out this week.

Wayne and Cheryl- Quickstep (Judges' Score=15, My Score=5)- Whew. Okay. That was kinda hard to watch. It was stiff and he was pretty much walking through the entire dance. But I did like the performance a lot more this week and there was a point toward the end when they really moved across the floor that Wayne handled pretty well. I do think he can get better, but he's not amazing.

Marie and Jonathan- Mambo (Judges' Score=24, My Score=7)- Marie came out and surprised me with this dance. While there are still some technical issues with her posture (we don't talk about it much in Latin, but she was hunched over) and her foot placement, she actually did a respectable mambo and performed the hell out of it. I also wanna say that I like her partnership with Jonathan.

Albert and Anna- Quickstep (Judges' Score=21, My Score=6)- I do think that this was better than last week, but Albert seemed to struggle a bit more with feeling comfortable with the dance. Like the judges said, his energy he seemed to lose a bit of his joy this week. His footwork was nasty, but I thought his posture was really really good. I do think he had some higher potential than most of the other men (behind only Helio and Cameron and slightly above Floyd) but unfortunately, this was his last dance of the competition, so it went unrealized.

Helio and Julianne- Mambo (Judges' Score=27, My Score=8)- It was really good. Helio's footwork was very fast and very good. He was mostly precise. He did some really complex moves here and handled it with relative ease. He is extremely charismatic and I found him pretty sexy here. And I've never found Helio to be that until now. My biggest problem with this dance was a lack of fluidity. I just wanted him to be less choppy and have the moves flow better.

Jennie and Derek- Quickstep (Judges' Score=21, My Score=7)- Oh no. I hate that they fell right at the end there. Jennie does need to work on her posture and strengthening that up through her core. And there were a couple of feet problems. But it was a really strong dance otherwise. Jennie has so much potential. I'm glad she and Derek started will figure it out sooner rather than later (I'm excited for week 3).

Cameron and Edyta- Mambo (Judges' Score=21, My Score=7)- I want Jennie and Cameron to sit down with a confidence coach. I think they suffer from some of the same things. And if I remember correctly, both had a similar journey on the show. There were moments of greatness here. His lines are great. And when he does things right, they look great. He looks like a dancer. I do want him to work on his musicality some more. A lot of that is the nerves for sure. But also, he needs to just hear the music.

Floyd and Karina- Quickstep (Judges' Score=21, My Score=6)- So I actually don't think this dance was bad. It was actually decent and a huge improvement. His posture was not good, but that's a boxing habit that needs to be shifted. As I said last week, finesse is still the name of the game for Floyd. He has so much potential. I think the moment everything clicks into place, he will be incredible.

Jane and Tony- Mambo (Judges' Score=21, My Score=8)- Okay so I think Jane has really great technique. However, Jane different give what she should've given for this dance. It felt very uptight and royal and not as grounded and raw as I wanted it to be. I think Jane and Marie can learn a lot from one another. They're two sides of the same coin. But I mean, everything was done well. Jane is amazing.

Sabrina and Mark- Quickstep (Judges' Score=26, My Score=10)- First of all, Mark looked so much like his father when he was younger. Like they were basically twins. This dance though was incredible. I don't have anything to say. Len is full of it. Those light and shade and slow it down comments for a quickstep don't really make sense for a quickstep. Especially not this specific quickstep. It was danced to perfection FOR ME.

My Rankings and Scores Out of 30:

1 Sabrina and Mark- 28 2 Helio and Julianne- 25 3 Mel and Maks- 23 4 Marie and Jonathan- 22 = Jane and Tony- 22 6 Jennie and Derek- 21 = Cameron and Edyta- 21 8 Albert and Anna- 20 = Floyd and Karina- 20 10 Mark and Kym- 16 11 Wayne and Cheryl- 14

So our bottom 2 were Albert and Floyd. Neither one deserved to go home this early. But unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Albert. I think he had so much more to give and Anna seemed to really enjoy him. But as we all know, models struggle on this show. Especially if they are not big names. That was his real downfall. That's the end of week 2. Let me know your thoughts and I will be back tomorrow with week 3 so that we can get back on track.

💀 SIDE MUSE | Melanie "Mel" Burke

Character Relation: Rusty's daughter, studying to be a pathologist

Rusty's daughter Melanie came from his previous marriage to Lucia— honestly, when the prospect of divorce came up, he was more nervous about how Mel would take it than any of the legal proceedings to follow.

He still remembers how he had quietly walked into her room and she had just...breathed a sigh of relief at the times. It stung a little, he thinks, but she seemed pleased to know that both her parents would be focusing on taking care of themselves and not...her mom constantly frustrated with her dad's lackadaisical attitude, and Rusty clueless but hurt whenever she'd point it out.

Full custody went to Melanie's mother— an agreement having been dished out between the three of them— and Rusty was, thankfully, welcome to visit Melanie whenever he liked. He thinks they became better parents when they split, funnily enough. Melanie got all that great support from her mom and all the good food, and Rusty had all the fun events and time in the car for deep talks that she worried would upset her mom. Rusty was always a good listener after all and so relaxed.

Rusty was also there for every one of her violin recitals. Mel always said he wouldn't know good music if it bit him in the ass but he still recorded them and supported her. And of course, he was in tears (so embarrassing, dad!) when she told him she wanted to be a pathologist like him.

She had been collecting bones in the woods with his help since she was able to walk. And poking roadkill while he pointed out the entrails— it just seemed inevitable.

Mel is in the middle of her studies now and Rusty still visits often. Like on campus. He rolls up to her campus with the ME van. It's actually sort of cool.

#side muse #ooc #pathology #rusty is the hawaiian shirt dad in khakis who is rooting for his daughter and mel is the apathetic girl with the thousand yard stare #like pls understand the visual #npc
