I was sure I knew who was going home this week. It was obvious who was the worst out of the bunch and I felt like his time had come, and that horse needed to be put down. But it would be reality television if there were no surprises. And no, I don’t mean that Robin Thicke is still culturally relevant.

As things wind down and get closer to the finale, our pack thins out and we’re left only with the best. That means that the competition gets fiercer and more intense, and it’s up to the contestants to push forward or fall behind. So how did they do this week?

This week was all about elegance and passion, with our group mixing it up and giving us a little bit of everything. There were tangoes, sambas, rhumbas, and more waltz than you could shake a dead cat at. Speaking of dead cats, we also had a couple of those this week. Who were they?

It was a strange night on Dancing With The Stars. There was no dance-off, thank goodness. Honestly, I’m not a fan of the dance-off and it seems to be pointless. Unfortunately, though, that means there was a lot more filler.

What a strange night of performances. We were treated to performances from Etta James and Demi Lovato, a legendary performer and a Disney performer. We found out our saved couples, and our bottom two: David Alan Grier and Lawrence Taylor had to dance for their lives. So, who danced his way to safety and who kicked his way off the stage permanently?

This week was all about beauty, passion, sensuality, and ferocity during the Viennese Waltz and the Pasa Doble. The competition is getting harder as the weeks go on, as we’re starting to lose the lowest competitors. What was once the middle is now closer and closer to the bottom. So, who captured the hearts of the judges and who floundered miserably? Let’s take a look.

This week was all about the Argentine Tango, a sexy and sultry passionate Latin dance, and the Lindy Hop, a fun and cute fast fifties style dance. Our stars are giving it all they’ve got, and some are excelling while some leave something to be desired. So, how did they do?

Tonight’s “Dancing with the Stars” elimination was full of surprises. We had a wonderful performance by Hall & Oates, who did “Maneater,” which is just classic. It made me happy.

Our saved stars were announced. In a surprising move, Steve Wozniak (who scored a ten out of thirty last night) was among them. I don’t think anyone was expecting that, including the visibly shocked Steve and Edyta, his partner.

Week Three on Dancing with the Stars was all about the Samba and the Foxtrot. The pack is starting to separate and some are rising above and beyond expectations, and some are barely meeting them. Who’s the cream of the crop, and who’s that annoying gunk in that box of leftovers that been in the fridge too long? Let’s find out.

Tonight’s “Dancing with the Stars” elimination tried something different: the bottom two stars would dance off at the end in hopes of improving their previous score and perhaps saving them from elimination. But first, the audience was treated to performances from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Jewel that were accompanied by dances from both the professionals in the competition and various other famous dancers.

It is the season of the injury on “Dancing With The Stars.” First Jewel and Nancy O’Dell were sidelined before the season started. This episode brought us more injuries. Steve-O didn’t even show, having been sent to the hospital, and the Woz danced with a bum knee and a busted foot. But our stars danced on, this week showing off their footwork and their precision with the Quickstep and the Salsa. So, who has the moves and who needs to move away? Let’s recap.

The first episode of the eighth season was all about the Waltz and the Cha Cha. We got introduced to our stars for the season, everyone from actresses to rappers to professional gymnasts and genius nerds. All in all, it was a lot of fun to see our judges and dancers back, along with some familiar celebrity faces. So how did they do?

If procedural dramas have taught us anything over the years, it would have to be these facts: if the maid discovers maggots coming out from underneath the door at a shady motel, there will be a dead body; if there is some blood spotted next to a pool by a scraggly teenager with earphones in, there will be a body; if you see a giant Hummer speeding towards a man standing by his car, there will definitely be a body.

Pushing Daisies

Original Airdate: 17 Dec 2008

Crystal - TwoCents Reviewer

Normally, our case on Pushing Daisies is unrelated to the relationships between the main characters, and doesn’t involve them beyond a purely investigative role. Well, not this week. This week, our investigators are not Emerson, Ned, Chuck, and Olive. And our dead victim or missing person is not a stranger to our Pie Hole heroes. Our missing person is Dwight Dixon. And Vivian Charles is looking for someone to find him. This is where things get tricky…

It seems mighty strange that the private investigator is taking care of personal business with the dead girl, and the piemaker is solving murders alone with the waitress. And yet here we are with this week’s Pushing Daisies, in which Ned and Olive are the sole solvers of the murder, which seems to be almost a tack-on to the larger storyline that involves Emerson and Chuck minding Chuck’s personal business.

Pushing Daisies
Robbing Hood - The Case

Original Air Date: 26 Nov 2008

Crystal - TwoCents Staff Writer
crystal@thetwocents.com

Our case begins with a visit from a former lawyer, spouting out legal rhetoric and terms in common conversation. He tells Emerson that his friend/client/lover Gustav Hofer was robbed and murdered. He suspects Gustav’s gold-digging wife, as Gustav was the richest man in town, his millions coming from a string of inventions that started with the mechanized yarn baller. Sounds like a case after Emerson’s heart.

Abracadabra.

The Great Pushing Daisies takes the stage to perform its own vanishing act, in which our beloved Pushing Daisies does not air for two weeks in a row (during November Sweeps no less), and then suddenly reappears with a bang, or at least the sound of cement pouring. Same difference.

In my mind, nothing will beat the sight of Lee Pace dressed as a gambling cowboy, sitting in a Chinese restaurant next to a straight-out-of-the-seventies Chi McBride. There is nothing funnier, or more amusing. It even makes up for the poor makeup of Chuck and Olive that was supposed to make them look Chinese. I can forgive the confusion and dullness of the case, all because of Ned and Emerson’s undercover work. So why was Lee Pace a cowboy and Chi McBride a seventies man?
