Dancing With The Stars This Week: Who Deserves To Stay?
 Monday, April 21st, 2008

Dancing With The Stars is back on tonight and five of the twelve original contestants are already gone.  That went by so fast!  Adam Carolla, Steve Guttenberg, Penn Jillette, Priscilla Presley, and Monica Seles are all out of the running:  after pushing it "too far" last week, Priscilla Presley was eliminated.  Mario Barrett, Shannon Elizabeth, Cristian de La Fuente, Marlee Matlin, Jason Taylor, Marissa Winokur, and Kristi Yamaguchi are left to compete tonight.

IMHO, Mario, Jason Taylor, and Kristi Yamaguchi (in no particular order, as Samantha likes to say) are the obvious frontrunners.  Cristian de La Fuente and Shannon Elizabeth (who is gorgeous but rather stiff in her movements) appear to need the most work.

But tonight's episode will have all seven of the remaining stars dancing...so who do you think will perform the best?  I'm hoping that DWTS either stops the children competition's or eliminates the scoring part of it.  I love seeing those little dolls dance, but why do they have to score them as winners and losers?  It's entertaining enough just to watch them, and they are just elementary school age...why do they have to be brought before the judges' panel?  Then I feel so bad for them!  I've been told that my opinion on that is the feminization of society, but I don't care.  It seems cruel to bring them up there to showcase all of their hard work and then tell them who lost, when it doesn't appear that the winning kids even get anything besides the title of "winner."
