DWTS
Priscilla Presley will dance in public again. Steve Guttenberg will and cheer the world on for another week. Yes, they both survived the first week's dual cut. Monica Seles and Penn, however, did not. Since someone had to go, it was probably appropriate that they were the ones, although it's definitely too bad since they were lots of fun. (Monica didn't grunt even once, by the way.) I still don't understand how Kristi Yamaguchi is okay for the show since she was a multi-time Olympics ice-skating winner; that's way too much like dancing and therefore way too much like having a professional dancer in the competition. She's terrific but duh. Too soon to tell for sure but I think the voters will agree with me about Kristi despite (or because of) her skill and they'll hang onto Marlee Matlin and Priscilla Presley as long as they can but Mario or Shannon Elizabeth will win in the end.

My daughter's a fan of Dancing With the Stars and I've been wondering about Kristi too. We've seen Kristi perform live many times (at Stars on Ice shows) and ice skating is so close to dance -- the pro routines in shows like SOI are often dance which happens to be on skates -- in fact many skaters take ballet and other dance classes as part of their regular routine.

Love Kristi but the competition doesn't seem quite fair!

Best wishes,
Laura

If you and I lived near each other, we'd spend an awful lot of time at the same places, doing the same things, I think!!

Other than Kristi, who's your (and your daughter's) next favorite(s)??

We were impressed with Marlee Matlin the first week, but I don't know if it's more we were wowed by what she was able to achieve or with her actual style. I think it will take another couple weeks to fairly judge. We missed it Monday so we're going to have to catch up online later. :)

Wouldn't it be fun if we lived close enough to enjoy some of our common interests together?!

Best wishes,
Laura
