Dancing with the Stars:The Insanity Returns! (3/21/11)

Writer Note: Last season was my first year reviewing this show so I was trying to find a format that worked. This year till we get to about 6 will be when I get into full recap mode. Till then I'll figure it based on the theme.

Well here we go. It's must be spring time because we returned to the ballroom last night. That being said this is quite a cast of characters and will be alot of fun this season. But here's the kicker this week, there is no elimination this week. Tonight was almost a feeling out kinda night. The total votes from last night's show will be combined with the votes from next week's show and then the lowest number will be eliminated next Tuesday night. There's alot to get to, let's get to it...

My Rating: 2

Kristie/Maksim
Dance: Cha-Cha-Cha
Song: Forgot You (Cee Lo Green)
Judge's Score: 23
My Rating: 4.5

Overall a good fun start. Ralph and Kristie totally stole the show tonight and became massive frontrunners right from the start. The middle of pack is about what I expected. Wendy was terrified so I think she might be able to save herself next week. The worst of the night was by far Mike who doesn't belong in this world and will not last next week. There are way too many good couples this season to survive.

The Celebrity Apprentice:Camping with the Stars (3/20/11)

This week was all about camping. Now on paper celebirties and camping don't mix as it is, and on this show it's bound to be a clusterfuck. This week's show did NOT disappoint.

Team Backbone-Winning Team
Project Manager: Gary Busey (see below)
This might be one of the most disorganized wins ever. Gary Busy, while hysterical and quoteable, is a TERRIBLE project manager. I'm sorry but I've watch this version of the show since the first episode, I've NEVER seen a project manager lay back and through the baseball around when he's supossed to be working on getting his area setup. Mark McGrath and Jon Rich AGAIN were my mvps of the team and were the reason they won. Mark is the best tour guide ever and whenever Jon picks up a gutair it's pure gold. (more of that later as well) Overall the guys won this round and it was VERY ugly.

Team A.S.A.P.-Losing Team
Project Manager: Niki Taylor
Well this had to be the record for one of the shortest boardrooms ever. Niki pretty much threw herself under the bus herself and sent herself home after losing. The facts were there, the men's presentation was better, the energy was better and it's hard to believe but they were more disorganized than Gary and his team. I wish she fought and threw Dionne under the bus. She is SO lazy. I know she's old, but she's LAZY. I hope that proves to be her downfall when this is all said and done.

Gary Busey Lines of the Show: (I'm offically starting to feel dumber watching this show.)

"I know nothing's free but my heart to your heart is free."

"I think they should be used to be looked at to be usable,"

"There were no mistakes made. If there was a mistake made, it was to understand that a mistake is a gift so you just brush it away and achieve it in another way."

"The team I have, everyone is like a different color of the rainbow."

"L-U-C-K-Y means Living Under Correct Knowledge Yearly."

"Like freedom, Facing Real Exciting Energy Developing Out Miracles."

"Yeah Gary what are you doin man?"-Mark
"Playin baseball!"-Gary
"How you feeling about the project right now?"-Mark
"We're killin em! We're killin em!"-Gary
(that was said on a camera video while playing catch with Jose)

"It's like having the best ingredients in the world to make the best cake you can make. It's gonna come out tomorrow, it's gonna be warm and fluffy and put a drop, put a scoop of chocolate or vanilla ice cream on that cake, it'll melt, and oh yi-yi-yi, it'll be fun to eat!" (I actually had to turn on the close captioning to make that sentence make any sense.)

"T-E-A-M it means Together Everyone Achieves More."

Jon Rich Song of the Week

"Donald Trump. Donald Trump. Please be nice to me Donald Trump. We're working really hard. We're doing all we can. It's pretty tough when you're working like a man. Donald Trump. Please be nice to us Donald Trump."
