Every season has its perks, however this is shaping up to be the Palin “Dancing with the Stars” season. Bristol herself hasn’t done really much to speak of, however her mother Sarah Palin certainly commands enough attention these days. That said, she it was not as though she performed like a token addition. She actually wasn’t that bad. This fall outing of the show certainly has plenty of star power to go around. Some have not made their names in the normal ways individuals get famous, like acting or sports. That said, it should be entertaining.
Not the strongest start
Though anything Palin gets attention seemingly regardless of merit at times, Bristol Palin “Dancing with the Stars” routine was really not too bad. Florence Henderson and Bristol Palin tied, according to CNN, with each scoring an 18 of 30. As for the rest of the scores, Margaret Cho, David Hasselhoff and Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino all failed to get higher than a 15. Michael Bolton scored a 16. Kurt Warner got a 19, and so did Audrina Partridge from “The Hills”. Previous LA Laker Rick Fox fared the best of the athletes. He scored a 22. Kyle Massey, a teen actor from several Disney shows, garnered an extraordinary 23, as did vocalist Brandy. Brandy actually gets a reunion of sorts, as she and Hasselhoff were both judges on “America’s Got Talent” But 23 wasn’t enough to secure the win.
No one puts Baby in a corner
Never mind any famous offspring; Jennifer Grey is on the show and that means that “Dirty Dancing” is going to get brought up. The film launched the careers of Grey and Patrick Swayze. Her character was unimaginatively named Baby, however that is where the famous line “no one puts Baby in a corner” comes from The big draw for followers is to determine if she still has her dancing shoes. That kind of makes the Jennifer Grey “Dancing with the Stars” appearance that much more special. The result was the top score of 24 out of 30 for Grey and Derek Hough, her dance partner for the night.
It could be a powerful year
Each and every season of “DWTS” causes a large buzz. This season should be the very same. There is potential for some real fireworks. Of course, parading around celebrities is the biggest object of the show, and it will always be good for that.
