Maybe I'm Afraid Someone Will See Right Through Me

Mondays are INSANE. I wish someone would come over and do my laundry. No, I don't, I'm way too particular about laundry. I wish someone would *put away* my laundry.

OMG! HATE TECHNOLOGY! YES, SERIOUSLY! (*she says as she blogs) But seriously- I feel like it's what's wrong with dating today. Fuck Facebook.

Already, I am so invested in Kal Penn's arc- I think he is going to blow the Ted-Robin-Barney *Thing* open this year. And I am looking forward to it. And I think it's very sweet that he was so good about going to help Lily and Marshall. They've gotten a little pushed-aside this year, but I still love them. (I still want to marry a Jason Segel of my very own.) But we knew they were having a boy, so I'm glad they didn't try to drag that out as a 'mystery'.

*What is Robin's orange pants? LOVED the Slap Bet/Various Hitting Montage.

ASHLEIGH!!! You have no idea how excited I get when I type that. WHY COULDN'T SHE BE THE MOTHER! Amber Stevens will always be Ashleigh to me. Don't you have so many people like that? It's part of the reason I always sort of feel bad for Thatcher Grey; I still see him as that sweetheart Mr. Katimski from My So-Called Life who gave a homeless kid a safe place to stay. Anyway, I love that Ted wore his Professor Outfit for his date. But...has anyone ever pulled this Internet talk on a real date? All the single ladies, help me out here? Like, we all *do* it, but you don't TALK about it!

Innnnteresting. If Diana is here to break all the scandals of the UES...and she's gunning for Blair (and all this time...not Serena after all)...if Nate would be the one to (inadvertently, of course) destroy Blair's runaway fairytale, her original Prince Charming...Oh, that's too tragic for words.

LOVED his reaction to finding out about his...character. (Who is that dude supposed to be? A Vanessa/Jenny/Raina/Bree/Lord Marcus's Mom Hybrid?) Poor Nate! His unrequited love for Dan is...unrequited!

Also...demanding that Serena, Nate, Lily and Rufus get through an entire book in a day? Tall order, Humphrey.

Haha, Lily is hilarious, feigning interest in Rufus's 'career'. And Rufus, LOL, that jokester...claiming to 'care' about Jenny.

I had a good long think on Blair and Chuck today, and the heart of their Greco-Russian tragedy is that...Blair has been her most selfless, beautiful self to Chuck. He spat in her face with it, and used it time and again, but it's so sad that she loves him so deeply and he has never been able to accept it. And also...his loss. I said last week, that even if Chuck and Blair don't 'end up together' (and I really hate boiling it down to those shippery terms when it comes to these two, and this quadrangle in general), it feels like Chuck was there to show Dan the way. And to fully play the villain against Louis's White Prince (as opposed to Knight). Those who can't, teach.

Charlie is fucking hilarious! This isn't about ME, is it?!?! LOL forever! Ha, how is she going to LAST?

But really? The crux of this whole episode (hell, the whole damn series) was Serena and Dan's convo. That was some *good* work by Penn and Blake, bringing this whole story full circle, and really powerful when you think about their behind-the-scenes history.

*Can I take that ending tag from Gossip Girl as a meta message from JS and SS? Not ending, just a new chapter and we're only getting started?

Oh, for the LOVE of...80's week? Are you fucking kidding me? What a horrible theme. Enough! Seriously, I don't get the nostalgia for the 80's- I think it's a pretty horrible decade across the board. Yeah, I said it.

~The Bangles are this year's Hanson this year, I see. Oh, this is always painful. But we're getting more pro dancers out of it, so good times! Poor Teddy is always a step behind the other boys. And Dasha is always a step ahead of the girls (not that she's off-beat, just that she is *so* good, it's not even funny.)

~OMG, I LOVE CARSON'S COSTUME! If Ricki Lake does some sort of Hairspray throwback...I might have to forgive Derek for Being, a little. I don't think so though, because I'm pretty sure all of that music was real 60's music, except for maybe the title song.

~And here we are at the filler portion of the competition...I don't mind this thought, because you all know I love all the behind-the-scenes bits. I'm kind of ready for Maks and Hope to go. She's not a good dancer, she doesn't have natural rhythm and their partnership is not as fun as Maks's have been in the past for me. I think he really loved Kirstie, Brandy and Erin, and I'm not getting this from them at Week 5. I don't think they hate each other, but they definitely won't be hanging out and tweeting afterwards. See above, she's also kind of the worst dancer he's had in a while. Ah well. I'm sure he'll stay around until he has a Mirrorball, so that's fine with me. Friendly enough, but not like it has been. But Zach Morris phones! Aaaaaand...that was their worst dance. Her posture is terrible and he's just dragging her around the floor. Yeah, I'm done with them. 8's? Are you out of your tree, LEN?

*Tom is so great, he has such enthusiasm for everyone, no matter how much they suck. And I kind of want to always go around the audience, slapping people for booing the judges when they are making sense. Fuck off, audience. Hee. But you know how I love the backstage drama? I love when the judges are all fighting and talking over each other. Len HATES Carrie Ann and I kind of love it.

Broadway next week? Yeah, I'm a nerd, I can get on board with that!

~This is going to be the hardest week for Carson. There is *so* much technique in the jive (so it seems, all I know about ballroom, I learned from Len Goodman). Is he doing a pyramid on the troupe boys? Haha, yes he is! Haha, he is all on Teddy's back, and Teddy can't even lift his head. He knows his place. Ooh, Anna's putting in a lift! Naughty, naughty :) Eeeehhhh...I usually hate when they pad with stunts and costume changes, but let's face it, Carson *needs* them. I think he might have gotten two of his kicks on beat? But he finishes with a smile, always, and doesn't pull that Feel Bad For Me face that Hope just pulled. You know, we always forget with Anna, because she's never in a 'chemistry' pairing, or she's always going for a very Character-y Costume, but she is HOT. 6's are fair. Even with the performance factor...Maybe I'll vote for them, this week. I'm really not hardcore rooting for anyone at this point though.

*What is up with Richard Simmons? He looks ROUGH. Why is he on the show every week? Kelly Clarkson and The Band Perry tomorrow! At least 3 pro dances! Brooke is just...always asks the wrong question.

~TRISTAN! I'm rooting for Tristan to be in my life for as long as possible! Her quickstep? That was her nipple dance, right? I am a little nervous to watch this rumba- I really hope it's like Maks and Kirstie's last year, not like that monstrosity Corky choreographed for Florence Henderson. They should look like a mother-son dancing at his wedding...or something. Tony! That was cute. Ooh, Nancy! You really do say what's all on our minds, don't you? (I don't know if she acts like that, I'm just projecting. I'm enjoying her, with no prior knowledge.) Oh, please don't do that backwards drag. I can't even tell what that's *supposed* to look like. Dear me. Get him some young hot partner next year for me to ogle. Yeash. I really don't think they can ever pull off any number where they are supposed to be in love. I mean, I know it's rumba, but still. Ah well, I guess they can't all be Kara and Artem. And even so, it's not like they went the total Corky/Florence route. And this song. The DWTS producers are just sadists. CARRIE ANN! YOU ARE ON CRACK! Len is cracking me up. THANK GOD YOU WEREN'T DRY HUMPING BECAUSE I WOULD BLEACH MY EYEBALLS. Haha! I am like a 12-year-old. I cackled with glee when Bruno said 'slutty'. Eh...I think 7's and an 8 are fair. I don't think she's a finals contender unless Tristan's Suxy Pass carries them through.

*I don't think the audience realizes that photo is Carrie Ann, Len and Bruno. Seriously, THAT is reaction-worthy.

I know the Bangles are hawking their new cd, but...like seriously, I'm glad they know their bread and butter.

Wow, but this is a lot of padding. Pro dances *and* judge's commentary?

~JR...well, let's call a spade a spade, the competition is between him and Ricki. I'm sure we all know where my allegiance lies. I mean, yes, he's Team Not-Derek, but also he's just so genuinely *nice*. That was so sweet- made it back again! Not like- 26, baby! Or something. Oh, ugh. He's got those classic Boy Arms, almost no boys get the samba. As far as 'field trips' go, going to a salsa club makes sense. And they really do look like they're having fun together. OH, I LOVE KARINA'S HAIR! I'd say...he's got the hips, but not the shoulders. Not *as* big a deal, but it's still noticeable. And once again, we see the glaring disadvantage the male celebs have- Karina is friggin' incredible, maybe the best dancer of all the women. And even she gets a little tripped up when her 'lead' is off-beat. I almost feel like the men and women should be separate competition. Nah, that would be too complicated. Let's just leave it as is, okay? Len: ::rolls his eyes:: All right, then. Hee! Haha, Bruno, I don't think the Kardashians are there for once (or they definitely would have cut to them, I think Kris has threatened the producers with dirty pictures)...Did Carrie Ann just swear? Probably not, but my tv bleeped it out. "That was _______ amazing!" Brooke, stop trying to make it all about you! Nobody remembers when you danced on this show! Love you, Bruno!

~I'm still bitter about Cheryl and Chris Jericho going out so early last season. Their rumba was fantastic. But anyway, Rob 'The Dream Team' Kardashian. All I heard was him say, "I would love to be like BLANK and MAKS and BLANK..." And she was like, Nope...but here's to trying! Has he ever been laid? What is this huffing thing? Romeo is his 'expert friend'? Oh you know what, I just got this great idea...when he mentioned Val, I was like *HE* should be showing how to be sexy, since he is clearly the Rumba Master. But I figured that would probably be against the rules? I would love it, if like, when there are six people left, the troupe goes in as 'assistant coaches' for the week. I mean, they are pretty much vying for spots on the show, everyone knows it, and it would be a great camera test. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm the only one who's interested in watching the troupe. Okay, I don't think this is bad chemistry-wise, but he's really sloppy when he's not in hold with Cheryl. But Cheryl, she is just Miss Chemistry, so...(When will I get my Maks/Cheryl dance? WHEN? Anyway...) He gets a little handsy with her. It's kind of uncomfortable. It's not like, gross-uncomfortable, it's like...pathetic-uncomfortable. Oh Len, NEVER STOP with your back-handed compliments...This dance has to be masculine...which is hard for most men. Oh, THERE'S the Kardashians. Is that Kristin and Whitney next to the new ABC show? Does that make any sense? I'm sure that's ROARING conversation. Scores are fair once again.

*I'm going to be so pissed if Ricki is just getting perfect scores from last week out.

~Chaz doesn't have bad rhythm, but he's really too out-of-shape to have very good technique. Oh gosh...samba or jive, either one might kill him. I will say Buddy Schwimmer looks better than he did a few years ago. I mean, I'm sure he was a great dancer in his day, and he's definitely got it in the genes. Gonna show my age- I always thought this was a 70's song? Is Chaz wearing a weave? I didn't think he had that much hair. That was a cute ending! But...here's why I kind of want Chaz to go home. It was the same problem I had with Jennifer Grey (yeah, I know what a pair). I always feel like he is going to have a heart attack in the middle of his routine (with Jennifer, I thought her neck or knees were going to give out.) JR was going INSANE in the balcony- what a guy. Brooke is actually pissed. Yeash, take a joke. And I bet Tom looked pretty much exactly the same 25 years ago. (I mean that in a good way.) Mmmm....7's might be a little high (Carson was at least as good with performance/personality).

~I think David is great, and I honestly feel like his scores are being low-balled. I might actually be really rooting for him. In fact, I am. His posture is great! Expression is great! David is a ballroom stickler! I love him! Seriously, work it out, David and Courtney! His Len impression is too good! Ah, he's got the pancake hand on her back. Hopefully she takes care of that, let's see. Oh, I want to see a 10 in my future, come on, babies! And I have to say, I love the whole Sid and Nancy concept they have going on. Len is giving a compliment on the theme, this is not good. Oh Len, you faker! Kisses! (Coco is the CUTEST!) Carrie Ann, what are you BUT-ing? I will CUT you! 8's? You fucking shitting me?

~And here we go, Ricki and Derek in the Pimp Spot. Seriously, LOVE Tom forever. Never change, TB! Are they going to do the Roger Rabbit in a foxtrot routine? Oh, I fucking HOPE so. And Len BETTER call them on it. Breaking hold! Call it, Len, don't let me down! Oh, they're like *totally* out of hold. And I haven't seen any Grapevine. (Yeah, I was paying attention, all this time.) Len can't even look at them! YES! YES, IT WAS THEIR WORST DANCE! (Actually, their worst is between this and their Not-Jive Jive.) Why will no one call him on his shit? 8's? Seriously? That was *barely* a foxtrot. Len, be a man and pull the 7! Derek is so fucking cocky, already talking about next week. Maks doesn't even do that, and he's supposed to be the 'arrogant' one.

*What a weird row, Romeo, Jon O'Hurley, and the Kardashians? I bet Jon goes around calling himself the Dancing With The Stars Season One Champion. Toolbag.

Wow. Look at that post. Why can't I put that kind of effort into fic?
