Dancing With the Stars

If you don't know who this is, you probably should. Tonight was the first night of Dancing with the Stars (Season 6)...and in the past I've never been into this show. I thought it was some crazy thing that my parents were obssessed with, but believe me, it truly is addictive.

Jason Taylor (sigh) above along with R&B star Mario, tennis player Monica Seles, figure skating phenom Kristi Yamaguchi as well as other celebs are battling it out on season 6 to win a trophy as America's favorite dancing pair. One professional dancer and one celeb team up to come up with routines and master them to perform in front of a live audience and the rest of America. The three judges watch each routine, then judge 1-10 on their performance.

Though it's not quite American Idol with the ridiculous critique and interesting people that can't sing, I found this much more entertaining. It's sometimes combining the least athletic celebrities with a professional dancer and coming out with a hopeful 30/30 score. Almost impossible, right? Wrong. I found myself impressed with Jason Taylor because he's a 255 pound, 6' something rough and tough football player that's out dancing with great posture and enthusiasm. I have found my new favorite. I'll be tuning in until the final episode to find out the best duo.
