Maybe this is the season I will start watching. I know so many people love this show.
Such pretty costumes. They sure can dance
I just love the body of a dancer…lean and lovely
This did seem like it was an interesting episode. I really don’t watch too much TV but maybe I should watch this once in a while. I would probably enjoy it.
I think I’m kinda rooting for Bindi this time around. She’s so good and I think Derek is so creative.
What a great season with SO much raw talent!
I keep meaning to watch it but always forget to set the DVR. Love the costumes and dances.
My hubby was really love to watch Dance show and i bet he would love this show.
This is a great list of who’s who for fans of the show.
I watch the British version but I have noticed that they are both very different.
I will start watching this show.. Looks so interesting!!
I’m on Team Bindi. I just think she’s so adorable!
I’d watch it just for Gary Busey. That guy is crazy and I’d want to see what he pulls off.
Gosh, I can’t believe I haven’t watched any episodes this season! I just love watching dance though, it’s so exhilirating!
I love these types of shows and ballroom dancing is just so fun to watch. Sometimes i wish I were well enough to do it myself. Angela
I love this show so much.
I watch this on and off – so thanks for the detailed update to keep me abreast.
Dancing With The Stars is such a fun show to watch. But it’s really the judges that make it entertaining…their reactions can be so hysterical!
I didn’t watch this season, so thanks for the recap. Sounds like there was a lot of illness, which is too bad.
I heard lot about these show but never watched. But these time I guess I will start watching.
I love Bindi. No complaints here. 🙂
