So now that the wife and I are dancers, or wannabes, we decided that we’d watch Dancing with the Stars which premiered tonight. They were dancing the Foxtrot and the Cha Cha tonight. We’ve done the Foxtrot but have not done the Cha Cha yet (we were told that was tomorrow). And it’s stupid of me to think that I might actually pick up something from watching this show. Their feet moved so fast that there was no way that I could see what they were doing. What it did do was give me a desire to continue our dance lesson’s.

I kind of had a couple of people picked out for possibly winning this season. My first pick was Clyde Drexler and his partner for the mere fact that the athletes have pretty much cleaned up in this show. Clyde didn’t disappoint, but he’s got aways to go according to the judges. He’s 6′7″ and his partner is like 5′4″, so it’s quite a difference between the two.

My second pick, Joey Fatone, did not disappoint. His partner and he lit up the house with their dance. I think it helps that he has done some dancing with N’Sync, but it was a different type of dancing. Regardless I think they are the favorites right now. It will be interesting to see how next week goes. I think next week they are dancing the quickstep, which I have no clue what that is.

The dark horse in my opinion is Apollo Anton Ohno and his partner. They did pretty good and they’ll be someone to watch. The surprise horrible dancer was Billy Ray Cyrus. I thought he’d be half way decent, musician and all, but he totally sucked. Lowest score of the night from the judges.

I haven’t determined the hottest female dancer yet, but there’s a good group to choose from. And I’m not just going purely on looks for the gals that read this blog. She’s got to have the moves to!! There’s something about watching women dance that gets the old blood flowing for me!

Next week we start eliminating people and I honestly think the first to go is Billy Ray. Just my thoughts.
