Dancing with the Stars Racism
This blog is for Crafty Chica. I have been slacking off but I wanted to give my opinion on this and last season’s DWTS. Or as I affectionately call it “Dancing with Has-Beens.” Also the title of my novel. But more on that later.
So let’s first talk about last season. Joey Fatone was robbed. Absolutely robbed. I love Apolo but the boy can not stand up straight and isn’t a quarter of the performer that Joey is. He hunches over like the speed skater he is and I have no idea why he won and why the judges gave him high scores. But hey, I have zero respect for the judges, especially since one of them is having an affair with my best friends husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But enough about that.
On to this season.
#1 I hate this show. The only reason I force myself to watch it is because of my stupid book. I am still editing it and everything I wrote over a year ago has become true. I am psychic. Bruja, no? I wrote about a Latin Lover with a mommy complex having an affair and then they put Mario on, I wrote about a character from 80′s night time soap Tiburon 94920 and then Ian Zeiring shows up. Creepy. Anyhoo, for those of you non dancers, the new team of Mark Ballas, and Derek and Julie Ann is unbeatable. Mark Ballas is the spawn of Corky and Shirley Ballas, Dance royalty. He is phenomenal. Can’t take my eyes off him. Seeing that his mother is in town helping him out, he should win.
#2 Most racist show on television. Except maybe the Bachelor. Another white bachelor? Come on now. I guess Mexican, Black and Asian men aren’t eligible. But I digress. The judges consistently give the black contestants lower scores yet they praise their “rhythmical abilities.”
I will write more. I promise.
