A Little Flashback

I just KNOW you are dying to find out my thoughts about the Royal Wedding.  Sorry.  This isn't about the Royal Wedding.  I have some thoughts about Dancing with the Stars.  Or, more specifically, this past week's episode.  It was guilty pleasures week.  Not as dirty as it sounds, I swear.  Except Kendra's samba, of course, but when you put a stripper in a tiny outfit and tell her to shimmy it's bound to be a bit, um, adult.  It was songs you're ashamed to admit you love.  And every single song is on my iPod.  I know, I'm that awesome.  But I digress.  Here's what on my mind:

1.  Ralph Macchio is a class act.  I swear, this season has had more mishaps than ever, and it's only half over.  But usually those mishaps happen to the celeb.  (Marie Osmond fainting, Jennie Garth slipping on her dress, Kirstie Allie's shoe falling off.)  You never really get to see the pros try to recover after they've hit the pavement. It was clear Karina wasn't used to falling down.  Ralph helped her up, counted her back in, and got her where she was supposed to go.  He was super cool under pressure.  Mr. Miyagi would have been proud.

2.  I had forgotten the song "Mmm...Bop."  It was nice to see the Hansen boys all grown up and well-groomed.

3.  I thought it was HILARIOUS that the Backstreet Boys sounded like poop, and New Kids on the Block (or Old Middle-Aged Guys on the Block) sounded decent.  And New Kids' moves were WAY better.  And Joey and that other guy did a little ballroom at the end of their number.  Apparently Backstreet Boys need 10 more years of retirement before they sound okay.  Sidenote:  I missed the 5 minutes New Kids on the Block were all the rage here.  I was living out of the country and went I got back to Utah all I heard about was this boy band that was super lame.  I didn't know what a boy band was, and when I heard "The Right Stuff" I didn't get why everyone hated them.  Go figure.

That's it for now.
