Parade.com has been kind enough to ask us to do another quiz; this time
it's about the ABC smash Dancing with the Stars. Because I'm about as far from a
DWTS expert as you can get, I decided to ask my assistant editor,
Jane, to take the reins on this one. She did a pretty nice job, even though she only had the current season to work with.
Because the quiz has to do with events that happened outside the show, I actually did pretty well, all things considered; I got seven out of fifteen right. How did I do so well? Think of this key word: injuries! Wow, the show has had so many freak injuries, it looks more like
Monday Night Football than a dancing contest (although Lawrence Taylor probably thinks it's all par for the course, given
his Monday Night history).
Anyway,
go take the quiz at Parade.com, then come back here and let us know how you did.

(S08E13) Tonight started the Pro Dancing Competition. After finding the list of the professionals, I can't help but notice a degree of nepotism. Having Alec's brother and Ashly's sister competing is somewhat unfair. Having Derek, Julianne, Mark, and Corky is enough of a family of dancers. I'm now just waiting for Lacey's brother Benji, or their cousin Heidi to show up. At least it's up to America to allow nepotism.
On the other hand: Snow! Yay, double standards! I'm okay with
So You Think You Can Dance alumni; they danced their asses off to be part of the competition. More Pro Dancing Competition as well as the rest of the show after the jump.

(S08E12) After getting rid of Steve-O, mysteriously everyone got better. The average tonight was 26. There were some definite standouts.
We are reminded that the clothes were created by the contestants. I'm happy to see Edyta with clothes on, but I'm a little saddened that there was no denim for Ty. Unfortunately, Samantha was channeling
Pollyanna and I was expecting her to have a milk bucket ready for her daily chores. Take a tip from Cat Deeley and find a hip stylist. Speaking of which, more
So You Think You Can Dance references after the jump.

(S08E09) I was jarred by the beginning of the show. I flip the channels and realize that right after the credits, the show started off with Lil Kim and Derek's performance. Wait, what? Gilles and Cheryl scored better by three points. No matter.
I'll admit that I skipped the performance in favor of
Adam Lambert. His performance on
American Idol was more interesting than five minutes of a dance I saw before. In the recap, we learned that last night Melissa ripped her dress, which is one of the reasons why she was thrown off.
