Candy Dish may have to go on my wish list. It's got personality! Phil, glad to hear Dancing in the Rain mists green in late summer. I put one in last year and thought maybe it was having trouble because of the horrible heat. Other than that, it seems to be doing well, not as much of a prima donna as I expected.

>> It's you dotmom that made this political "dig down to the muck in the bottom of the barrel for some of their......up. 'talent', " That's classy. I'm still trying to figure out how Dotmom's comment made this political. I don't see it, Ciele. My opinion is that Bristol is a train wreck in process; that has to do with what we read about her behavior, proclamations, actual actions, etc. It has nothing to do with politics. And as far as DTWS, I have only watched it a handful of times and don't find it very interesting (I don't find many of the so-called reality shows very interesting - they're scripted, edited, and contests are fixed; all in the name of ratings). But I agree that, again in the name of ratings, the show will get people on there who will make people watch (for whatever reason). I suspect that a lot of people will watch Bristol, whether it be to root her on or to hope she make a fool of herself so they can talk about her. Suzieque

I haven't watched it the last couple of seasons, but figured this would be the one to watch. I missed it, so will watch it online and try to zip through the crap. A number of my favourites from past shows. I can't stand the length and drawn-out factor of the show. That is what is turning viewers off. With the results show, we always watched the encore dance, then watched another show, and flipped back to see who got booted off.

Lizzann said: "I think what's her name dancing with Val may be gone after tonight, I personally didn't care much for the dance but the judges loved it, plus she had a broken toe to contend with. I know their dance was supposed to be serious but I think she took it a little far, almost a downer to me. " Her name is Kelly Monaco and she was dancing with a broken toe and was in pain. I broke my toe last night and I'm having trouble walking much less dancing. It's very painful. I think she did an incredible job.
