The Blot has never seen Dancing with the Stars and I can’t quite figure out what the appeal is either, but someway somehow this show delivers huge ratings for ABC week in and week out. I keep waiting to see what the next group of B, C and D list stars ABC is going to drag out on the dance floor and wonder if the latest group of has-beens, wanna-bes and athletes is the group to finally entice me to watch an episode.
Once again, I don’t think this is the cast to do it. Although there are some memorable names from my childhood on the list, I was thoroughly disappointed their was not a single Beverly Hills 90210 alum on this year’s roster. What happened, have they finally run out of 90’s heartthrobs? They must have because they’ve had to go back even further and pull some 80’s “heartthrobs” out of retirement for Season 6. I guess my only question is does Steve Guttenberg even count as a heartthrob? I was pretty young back at the height of his popularity, so we’ll say that he was and go on.
