I got a review for Dancing With the Stars which I did not watch forgot it was on but I am in a group that I own that a member and friend of mine posted the results and preview of the show.. I only want to watch this season I think because Valerie Harper is on and Bill Nye yes the science guy believe it or not and is doing well from what I heard to.. Jack Osborne is on there to and both Ozzy and Sharon have been there from what I seen and heard supporting him which has to be boosting the ratings for the show we all know :)
Anyhow here are the reviews not sure if there is a link or not but this what I have enjoy and have a great day or evening everyone where ever in the world you maybe :)

'Dancing with the Stars' Recap: Latin Night and the First Elimination
Monday, September 23, 2013
If you thought the
Dancing with the Starsseason 17 premiere was muy
caliente, tonight will be even mas. The 12 couples will all perform again (and it's Latin Night, in
case my awesome Spanglish wasn't obvious) and one will be eliminated at the end of the noche.
Will this new format help the show maintain strong ratings against
The Voice, which just won an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Competition? Or will the appeal of Emmy-winning choreographer
Derek Hough reign supreme (as I suspect he will on the leaderboard with Amber Riley)?
There
isn't a second to lose, so join me for this exciting two hours of hot
Latin dancing action complete with Rumbas and my single favorite dance
of all-time, the Paso Doble.
Vivo de Hollywood...es
Bailando con las Estrellas!
I'm
not a fan of these group dance introductions. I miss the old music with
the awesome voiceover guy as the couples descended the staircase.
Elizabeth Berkley
and Val Chmerkovskiy: SambaAfter
a beautiful contemporary routine, this week is all about the passion.
She moves with fiery speed and precision. This should easily cement
herself as a serious contender and frontrunner. Len Goodman says it's
close to perfect and calls her "Queen Elizabeth." They all praise how
many of the difficult moves she got right. A very sweaty Val takes all
the blame and does a great job supporting his partner.
Judges' Scores: 8+9+8=25Two Week Total: 24+25=49Christina Milian and Mark Ballas: Paso DobleIt's
a king and Queen theme with big ferocity, which is what I want in a
Paso. It's definitely fast with great musicality to Lady Gaga's
"Applause." I feel like this entire dance is a response to my complaints
about her dullness last wee. Definitely an improvement with lots of
attitude.
Judges' Scores: 9+8+8=25
Two Week Total: 22+25=47Wow, two dances and two 25s, these judges are in a great mood.
Bill Engvall and Emma Slater: JiveUh-oh, the other stars doing the Jive are Amber and Corbin. Emma's plan
is to steal Derek Hough's choreography. Pretty sneaky.
Bill is a tad stiff, but he's got some crazy feet and, just like last
week, he's a whole lot better than I ever would've imagined he'd be.
Carrie Ann Inaba thought it was the most fun of the night, but with some
funky footwork.
Judges' Scores: 7+7+7=21
Two Week Total: 18+21=39That's a generous score based mostly on entertainment value. If a different star had done that, there would be 6s and 5s.
Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke:
RumbaIt's supposed to be sensual, which Jack
has trouble with. His mom shows up during rehearsals, and doing a sexy
dance in front of your mom is awkward. The performance itself is
incredibly steamy and Jack is quite great, especially doing a nice
split. Len thinks he does weird things with his hands, but for the most
part the judges are positive. Carrie Ann thinks he comes from
Game of Thrones times. Yeah, I could see him as Robb Stark or Jon Snow, which would make Ozzy and Sharon Ned and Catelyn.
Judges' Scores: 8+8+8=24
Two Week Total: 23+24=47Keyshawn Johnson and Sharna Burgess:
SambaHe knows he's the underdog, but this
isn't the comeback story he was hoping for. He lumbers around the
ballroom like Frankenstein's monster, and a moment when he motorboats
Sharna feels desperate. I stand by my prediction that he's going home
later tonight. During the criticism he starts to get emotional about how
far he's come, because he probably agrees with me that he's in serious
danger.
Judges' Scores: 6+6+6=18
Two Week Total: 17+18=35Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Sasha Farber: RumbaTom Bergeron
is still trying to make "Snoocole" happen, or as I call her,
"Snook-Hole." It's not as funny as Tom thinks it is. The routine is
about a man who makes a mistake and asks his woman for forgiveness.
Snooki assumes he killed someone or went to jail or had multiple
affairs. She's worried about getting too sexy with Sasha.
Who is
this woman? Because she's pretty and sensual, and it's not at all what I
expect from Snooki. Motherhood has done wonders for her. The judges
didn't like it as much as I did, complaining about a lack of fluidity.
Carrie Ann is on Lift Patrol and sounds her siren. Basically, it was
pretty, but too staccato and lacked character.
Judges' Scores: 6+7+7=20
Two Week Total: 23+20=43Aww, poor Snook-Hole, she's the first person to do worse than she did in week 1.
Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani: SambaDuring
rehearsals, Leah reveals her fears that the Church of Scientology wants
her to fail so they can say it's because she left. I think "I was
sabotaged by Lord Xenu" should be the new "The dog ate my homework." The
performance itself is kind of dull for me. It seems stiff and she lacks
the Latin fire I want, but the judges love it. I need to pull out my
E-Meter, because something is wrong with the judges' Thetan levels.
Judges' Scores: 8+8+8=24
Two Week Total: 21+24=45Bill Nye and Tyne Stecklein: Paso DobleHot
Knowledge is OK with all the negativity from the judges because they
know they have the fans on their side. A bunch of MENSA members in lab
coats are in the audience for support. Bill is dressed as Beethoven, and
it's a wonderfully funny routine, but the dancing is still not very
good. He's definitely a master of creating characters and memorable
routines. Bruno Tonioli gives the backhanded compliment of being shocked
that there was actually some dancing in there.
Judges' Scores: 6+5+6=17
Two Week Total: 14+17=31He stayed within 4 points of Keyshawn, which might be all he needs with all the love he's getting.
Guest Judges
Len Goodman is
going to take a few weeks off this season, so they'll bring in guest judges, including Julianne Hough in two weeks! Um, that's gonna be awkward with her judging her brother. But I'm excited.
Corbin Bleu and Karina Smirnoff: JiveSince they're dancing to One Direction, they go for the full
High School Musical
feel. It's energetic and a ton of fun. Seriously, this kid is way, way
too good to be on this show. He's jumping, jiving and wailing all over
the place and it's so freaking
good. Corbin got to third base with Len, which sounds so dirty and so
wrong. Corbin does say that he got lucky with these first two dances,
but once he gets into things like the Quickstep, it will probably get
more difficult.
Judges' Scores: 9+8+9=26
Two Week Total: 24+26=50Valerie Harper and Tristan MacManus: Paso DobleHer
knee gave her some trouble during rehearsal, but she's working through
the pain. She puts it in perspective, saying she's 74 with terminal
brain cancer, so she's not about to let a little knee sprain stop her. I
love her so much because she embraces the fact that she's playing
with house money. The dance is spicy and fun, but it's obvious she
missed a lot of steps and seemed totally lost. Carrie Ann is willing to
call Valerie out on forgetting at least one-third of the dance, but only
because she knows Valerie wants to be judged just like everyone else.
Judges' Scores: 6+6+7=19
Two Week Total: 21+19=40Seriously?
You can forget one-third of your steps and still get a 19? I know she's
an inspiration, but that dance deserves a 16 at the most.
Brant Daugherty and Peta Murgatroyd: RumbaThe
sexiest couple of the season is back for another sexy dance. You gotta
have a
gimmick, and these two know that sex appeal is theirs, so I'm fine that
they play it up every week. Their strategy is to have Brant stare at
Carrie Ann as Peta undresses him. It's definitely steamy, and by the end
I feel like I need a cigarette and a cold shower. Carrie Ann correctly
points out that these two are more than just sexual chemistry, he also
has great moves. She and Len get into a fight over the fluidity.
Judges' Scores: 8+7+8=23
Two Week Total: 22+23=45Amber Riley and Derek Hough: JiveThere's
a concern that the Jive will cause Amber's bouncing breasts to knock
Derek out. The dance is
good, but she definitely set the bar too high last week. Her feet seem a
little slow and off to me, but it's still energetic. The judges all
agree that her feet were the biggest problem.
Judges' Scores: 8+8+8=24
Two Week Total: 27+24=51The Two Week Leaderboard
51: Amber Riley

The First Elimination
Corbin and Karina are...SAFE
Leah and Tony are...SAFE
Bill Nye and Tyne are...SAFE
Christina and Mark are...SAFE
Amber and Derek are...SAFE
Valerie and Tristan are...SAFE
Snooki and Sasha are...SAFE
Jack and Cheryl are...SAFE
Brant and Peta are...SAFE
So that leaves Elizabeth and Val (no way they go home), plus Keyshawn and Sharna (my pick) and Bill Engvall and Emma as the last three. It's funny that
Dancing with the Stars
is proving that every hour-long results show for any reality
competition can be condensed into less than 15 minutes if you just read
the names all in a row.
Elizabeth and Val are...SAFE
Whew.
Since I picked them to win, it would've been embarrassing if they went
out first. We learn that Bill and Keyshawn don't necessarily have the
two lowest combined scores.
Keyshawn Johnson and Sharna Burgess are eliminated!I
was right! Also, I'm not sad because he was the least
entertaining as far as I'm concerned. But it's stunning, because NFL
stars typically do extremely well, so for him to be the first dancer
gone is an embarrassment. In fact, as far as I can tell, no NFL player
has ever been eliminated in the first six weeks, let alone first. But I
think it's also an indication of how strong the field is this season.
Next
week the dances will salute Hollywood. I predict Brant and Peta's dance
will start with them sitting at a pottery wheel as "Unchained Melody"
begins to play.
