FAMOUS LAST WORDS
"There doesn't seem to be a limit to what liberals will do to rob working Americans of their rights in the face of coercive and corrupt union bosses. Last week, House Democrats voted 221 to 8 to cut funding for the Labor Department office that protects the union rank and file from corrupt union bosses. Amazingly, the only Labor Department office to get its funding cut was one that has convicted more than 750 union criminals and won the legal restoration of $70 million in embezzled funds."

”Dancing With the Stars” Episode Aired 11/12/07-Cameron Sent HomeIn the episode aired 11/12/07 the viewers learned that Marie Osmond’s father had passed away the prior week. Marie informed us that her Dad lived 90 wonderful years so while the end of a life, the passing of an era, is sad and melancholy, it isn’t as if a young man was denied a lifetime is what I’m saying here. His daughter Marie said the same thing.
Yet Marie looked at the camera and told the American viewing public that one of her father’s last wishes was that she win the Fall 2007 ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” competition.
Well now, how could we vote her off knowing this?
Although with the help of my handy-dandy Excel spreadsheet I discover that so far in this contest, the final five contenders, in terms of judge-awarded points, falls as follows:
Highest points to date
1-Mel B.
2-Helio
3-Jenni
4-Cameron
5-Marie
Marie, since 10/15/07, has received a total of 171 points with Cameron, who was sent home on elimination night 11/13/07, at 180 points. That’s a difference of nine points between them and by me that’s a significant spread in a contest with a mere point often the difference between contenders.
Yes I understand that these are judge points and not definitive except perhaps to influence the voting viewers with expert critiques. But season after season judges’ commentary, and in this case, actual points awarded, generally follow the votes of the viewers save exceptional cases.
Marie Osmond, hey, I like her. I think she does a wonderful job, she is in her late 40’s if I’ve got that right, and she’s competing against a bunch of 30 something very healthy contenders. It’s also very noticeable, at least to this rather dedicated viewer, that Marie has lost a lot of weight during this contest. But Lord that woman has played to the audience’s kindness week after week, along with Jane Seymour, also one of the elder contenders. Seymour lost her mother earlier in the series and this fact likely kept her around longer than she deserved.
Cameron Mathison the soap star was sent home this past week and this is no surprise. Cameron was a pretty good dancer with a muscular chest and forearms that he had no problem displaying week after week. Cameron is very obviously a heterosexual and I’ll never be convinced that heterosexual males will ever be great dancers although I’m not sure about Mario Puzo from the past. Helio is a race car driver from Brazil and hey, I’m not sure about him either. Helio is, however, the best male dancer out of this year’s offerings and he’s hanging in there. I’m not sure he’ll beat Mel B of the Spice Girls as she’s right up there just inches from the winner’s circle.
I don’t think Marie’s going to last much longer in this series although who knows, Jennie Garth is about to be sent home and Marie could inch her out another week.
Here’s my idea. It seems that each season’s series of this reality show there is entered an older fellow or female. These older folks can’t compete with the younger ones and it doesn’t seem fair. Although, heh, I do understand that these stars enter this thing for exposure and expect to be sent home right quick. But a Wayne Newton and the mailman from Cheers can’t possibly win against a Mario Puzo or Kelly Monoco.
I say spin this reality series off. It obviously is a viewers’ winner for ABC as they promote every ABC show they can every week. Have an “under 40” series and an “over 40” series.
There’s lots of old ladies like me who would love to see Marie Osmond or Jane Seymour win. These two contenders did a great job but how could they possibly beat Mel B or even Sabrina of the Cheetah girls who should still be a contender?
If ABC takes my idea I want credit for it. We shall see.
