Dancing with the Kids

As a first post, we're looking at an exciting night at the Elliss household!


Tonight is officially Dancing with the Stars night at our household - we're all gathered in the family room watching the drama, passion... http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancingwiththestars/index?pn=index

and now we're watching the mango! ewwwh! But kinda funny. Steve and Jonathon dancing the tango.

It's great watching Hannah dance to the music - she looks like she's doing the chicken dance - we'll have to take a picture and post it.

Our favorites are Kristi and Mark, Marlee and Fabian, Jason and Edyta:

Now for some comments:

Jason (the NFL player of the year or something, like that's important in the ultra-competitive world of ballroom dancing) dances well and has a good attitude ( but not a 'I love everyone and especially fuzzy bunnies' attitude like Steve).

Marlee, the deaf actress, is really funny and is actually inspiring in the way that she performs, on the stage and off. I think it would be cool if she had some sort of high-tech beat indicator that helped her out.

Kristi is just really sharp and of course a great dancer. I'm really suprised that they invited her, since she has such a natural advantage having been a gold-medal winning figure ice skater - basically dancing on ice. She will be the winner, not only because she's a great dancer, but she knows what it is to train and compete, and she's hot. (Very important in this competition) Plus, there aren't really any standout guys, so I think she has this one in the bag.



Anyway, here's an interview with AnnaJune regarding who is going home tonight:

Ssilleelliss: "Who do you think is going home tonight and why?"
AJ: "I don't know, but I think Steve should. He's not a very good dancer"
Ssilleelliss: "What do you think of the controversial 'lift'?"
AJ: "The judges didn't mention it, but they should have. I want Shannon to come back, and Cristian is ok."


Ok, we're now at the end of the torture session! Steve and Anna are heading home! I think he was just too warm and fuzzy for this America. He would have done well on TeleTubbies, but here in the cutthroat world of ballroom dancing / reality voting, he was just a big target.





Sad breaking news - an Amber Alert happened today concerned a little girl who lived near where we used to live. 2250 S 500 E. It looks like a murder case. We're really happy we don't live there anymore.
