DANCING WITH THE STARS - "Episode 1902" - It was #myjammonday this week on "Dancing with the Stars." The 12 remaining celebrities danced to their favorite songs on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. Monday's show kicks-off with a spectacular opening number featuring the full cast and judges dancing to a medley of the judges' favorite songs. Each couple then performed a variety of dances, including the Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Jive and Rumba, to their favorite jam. (ABC/Adam Taylor) TAVIS SMILEY, SHARNA BURGESS
The PBS crowd probably didn't get excited by the Tv host and author's so-so dancing.
The fact he had a book out last week and was so busy didn't help matters in terms of his rehearsal time. Then again, he clearly was never a contender.
"I have no regrets," he said. "The art of dance I love. But it takes time to perfect it."
Michael Waltrup, the race car driver, was arguably weaker than Smiley and had lower overall scores but his fans kept him alive a extra week. Nonetheless, he probably won't be around long. (He was in the supposed bottom three.)
The couples who are "in danger" is often a fallacy since they are not always reflective of lowest voters' scores. Sadie Robertson was theoretically in "jeopardy" but I can't imagine she really was. This was similar to last week when Lea Thompson was placed in the same situation.
