Puteri’s World

Last night was the finale of the Dancing with the Stars series. I am hoping that Kristy Yamaguchi will win the competition. She deserves to win because she is a far superior dancer to the other two male finalists! And she scored perfect scores on both dances! Way to go, Kristy!

I can almost kick myself though, because I missed the time frame for voting!! By the time I made my calls to vote, the voting was over! Arrgghhh! I cannot wait to see the results show tonight!

I just hope that the finale of American Idol will not take more than an hour! As to American Idol, I am rooting for David Cook!! I will make sure I hit the redial button to vote for David Cook. I don’t know if that is going to be enough to counter all the votes the young girls will be giving to David Archuleta!

Too bad, I will be no where near a TV to watch the 2-hour American Idol results show tomorrow. I will be flying over the Pacific when the show comes on. So, so disappointed not to be able to see my favorite Idol crowned the winner!

Ok, this is my not so regular update on the two TV shows that I follow.

Mario was eliminated last night from the Dancing with the Stars.  He did not get very good reviews on Monday but I still think he is a much better dancer than Cristian.

Christian hurt his arm last week and was placed last on the leader board.  But he managed to get voted into the next round.  I think his vote was mostly sympathy vote.  I cannot see how his performance on Monday deserved such high scores!

Kristy Yamaguchi performed really well on Monday to my untrained eye but Carrie Anne did not like her 2nd performance.   Anyway I am glad that she made it safely to the next round.

As for American Idol, Jason Castro made a big mess of his performance last night.  I hope he will be the one to get eliminated tonight.  I have never been a fan, because I do not like his singing voice … so teeny!  It would be so unfair if one of the three contestants got eliminated.  They did far better than Jason and I agree with Simon Cowell.  Jason should pack his bags.

David Archuleta did well, and as for David Cook, I am rooting for him all the way!  I hit the redial button for as long as I could last night to make sure that he stayed on till the finale!  It was at this particular stage that Chris Daughtry got eliminated in the past!  I do not want to see David Cook suffer the same fate.

We shall see if Jason Castro will indeed leave the competition tonight.

I was away from home all week last week and missed my two favorite TV programs!

I did not watch American Idol where Carly Smithson got booted out. I have yet to watch her performance that resulted in her being eliminated from the show.

I did not watch Dancing with the Stars and missed Marlee Matlin’s performance which resulted in her missing the cut for the next round.

Last night I arrived in time, from my trip to southern California, to watch DWTS. I was sorry to see Kristy Yamaguchi, for the first time, not being at the top of the leader board. Naturally, I made sure to vote for her to keep her in the competition! Mark Ballas, her professional partner, was reminded that it was at that stage that he and Sabrina got booted out of the competition in the previous season. NO! I do not want to see Yamaguchi eliminated! I want to see her in the grand finale!

I hope American Idol will only last an hour today so I can watch the result show of DWTS!

I did not watch the result show of Dancing with the Stars this week. I was busy watching American Idol. Anyway, I am not surprised that Adam Carolla is out. If it had been anyone else other than Carolla, I would have been really disappointed.

I was surprised that Jason Taylor scored a 29, the same as Kristy Yamaguchi. He stumbled yet he was give two 10s! Except for the first season, every subsequent season was won by a male contestant. If Kristy Yamaguchi does not win this year, I will be pretty upset!

But I won’t be too upset that I would not watch the series any longer. Nope. I enjoy the show too much!

Steve Guttenberg got knocked out this week.  I was sure it was Marissa’s turn to leave the show this week.  She got the most negative comments from the judges yesterday.  I guess she has enough fans to keep her in the competition.

This season I am rooting for Kristy Yamaguchi.  For three straight weeks she maintained her top placing in the competition.  I would be most sorry if she got voted out from the show like what happened to Sabrina of the Cheetah Girls in the previous season.  I guess nobody can take the competition for granted even if you were the best and the most consistent dancer.

I want Kristy to stay till the finale and so I hit the phone to vote her in!   :mrgreen:

I did not watch the result show of the DWTS last night. I was busy watching American Idol. But I did hear on the radio today that Monica Seles and Penn Jillett have been eliminated from the show.

I am not surprised at Penn Jillette’s elimination. His dancing style can be likened to a bull in a china shop! Monica Seles is a tennis champion but her prowess in the tennis court is not matched by her prowess, or lack thereof, on the dance floor. She tried her best, but there are better contestants than her.

On Monday, I actually missed Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska’s dancing. Again thank goodness for YouTube, I was able to catch up on what I missed!

Boy, is Jason Taylor hot or what! His score matched Kristy Yamaguchi’s for the night! And Kristy was really good!

The second hour of American Idol clashed with DWTS, but I did catch Priscilla Presley, Kristy Yamaguchi and Marlee Matlin.

Considering her age, Priscilla Presley did pretty well. Kristy? She was really, really good. I think she can only do better even though she said there were hard habits learned from skating that she had to break. But she was very graceful.

I don’t really know how to critique Marlee. She is profoundly deaf and yet she was able to dance. That was just simply amazing. But like Carrie Ann said, Marlee like everyone else will be judged on their dancing, but I don’t doubt viewers voting for her would vote just for the fact that she was gutsy enough to take on a dance competition.

I did not get to watch Monica Seles and Shannon Elizabeth and Marissa Jarret Winokur dance. I can still catch them dance on YouTube, I am sure.

Is the result show for DWTS tonight? Will it clash with the result show of American Idol? I have not checked the programming schedule.

Like I said earlier, thank goodness for YouTube! I watched again Mario and Karina, and Steve and Anna. I was a little distracted when these two couples had their turn last night.

I knew Mario was good, but I watched his hip action this time around, and boy is he good! Carrie Ann looked all flushed looking at Mario’s hip actions! According to the judges Mario needs to work a little more on his footwork. Can you imagine once he gets that down to pat, how awesome his dancing will be? I am so looking forward to see more of his dancing!

Watch Karina and Mario dance again here on YouTube.

Last night after watching the premiere episode of the Dancing with the Stars 6th season, I said I was looking forward to watching the ladies dance tonight.

BUT!  American Idol is on at the same time!  I am pissed!  Why do they have to do this?  Every year, I am forced to switch between DWTS and AI!  And what I missed, I have to catch on YouTube!  Thank goodness there are those who bother to put this video clips online!

I know this is about TV ratings, but there are some of us who don’t watch anything else on TV except for these two shows! I don’t care about what else is on TV!   :mad:

My other favorite TV show premieres its 6th season tonight! I think Jason Taylor is hot! He’s tall, good looking and very graceful on his feet despite being the football athlete that he is! I think Cristian de la Fuente looks hot too but he needs to work on his posture.

Penn Jillette is so funny for someone his size he was surprisly quick on his feet! Except he needs to work on his footwork.  Mario was smooth, and I think he can go far in this competition.  As for Adam and Steve, they were so so, but with a some work they both can do a lot better.

The ladies get their turn tomorrow night.  I can’t help noticing how old Priscilla Presley looks.  I was taken aback when I saw Monica Seles.  I thought she was Heather Mills! She does look a lot like Heather Mills and nothing like her tennis playing days.  I remember how the audience hated her grunts!

I’m looking forward to seeing the ladies dance tomorrow and Kristy Yamaguchi already has a slight advantage with her ice skating background.
