Okay.
Confession: I watch Dancing With the Stars. I don't even care that I don't care about more than half the people competing this season. I like watching the dancing.
But I have a gripe.
I really dislike Derek Hough.
Why?
Well, he's a good dancer. No denying that. The reason I dislike him I'm sure isn't his fault at all, really: he always gets the hot chick.
- His first partner on Season 5 was Jennie Garth. 90210 actress. Cute. White. Blonde.
- Season 6 his partner was Shannon Elizabeth, who he actually dated for a while. Hot, skinny actress.
- Season 7 he gets Brooke Burke. Hot older actress who wins him his first mirror ball trophy. Judges absolutely drool all over her. Especially that one guest judge.
- Season 8 he gets Lil' Kim. She's the only non white celebrity he's been paired with, and she's slightly heavier than his other partners. I'd like to see him get more matches like this, is all I'm saying.
- Season 9 he gets super swimsuit model Joanna Krupa. Tall, blonde, legs, rack...
- And now it's Season 10 and he gets a Pussy Cat Doll.
The producers must really like him because if I was in charge of that shit I'd go with some girls who are not hot models/singers/actresses. I'm not saying pair him with (insert example) because she's fat and ugly, but give him a serious challenge. Last night he got the first 10s of the season. THE SECOND EPISODE. Frank Nicotero of Primetime in No Time agrees with me at least on that last point.
