Dancing with the Stars 9.12.06

Generally, I though the show was a little stiff, including the dancers. I hope that as the season progresses, they will loosen up a bit, but you could definitely read the nerves on the contestants' faces. Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke totally deserved their standing ovation. Emmitt was very natural and light on his feet. Watch out Jerry Rice! Tucker Carlson was like a board - looks like he belongs behind a news desk. Monique Coleman from High School Musical was forgettable. Vivica A. Fox surprised me. She looked very pretty and seemed to be having fun. I expect Vivica to go far in this competition. Jerry Springer was a H.A.M (hot a** mess - get used to the acronym, because I use it A LOT!). Overall, a solid start to the new season, but I'm hoping my attention won't wander to more interesting pastures unless they liven things up a bit. Stay tuned...
