Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Semifinals Recap

Not quite sure what to make of these here Semifinals on Dancing With The Stars. The dancing went up a notch, but obviously this season it's about the votes. Because without all of the votes we wouldn't have a semi final that looks like this.

Bristol Palin brought up with the whole "Tea Bag Conspiracy" thing and how her mother is the Supreme Mother Master of our Universe and we all bend to her will. I totally would've believed lil' Bristol's spiel, except her mother's show, "Sarah Palin's Mooseknuckle" got over 5 million viewers last night. So yeah...Sarah Palin's got some kind of Jedi mind-meld on us.

So let's talk dancing...

Since we're on the Palin beat, let's talk about Mark and Bristol. Thank you Mark Ballas for reading this blog, because Bristol's shoulders are fixed! That Paso was really very well done, and think the waltz would've been better if it were a little quicker in the footwork. More movements on the 1-1-1 and less holding for three counts. But it was very much improved in one week, and I wouldn't be very upset if she did make it to the final after all.

Brandy kind of bombed didn't she? Her Paso was horrid, and the Argentine Tango scored well, but wasn't all that impressive. She only finished four points ahead of Bristol and if anybody needs to be nervous, it's Brandy.

Kyle did pretty well. He's definitely improved a lot and he's probably the biggest fan favorite. I can totally see people getting sick of the Jennifer Grey "martyr" act, and went over to "Team Kyle"...after churning out two stellar performances, I'd actually have him in the top two. He did both a decent Samba and Argentine Tango.

But the winner of the night was 176 year old broken necked Jennifer Grey. Geeze O' Peete...how much can they hit us over the head with "Poor Jennifer is old and broken?" We get it. She's old and broken. Let's move on ok? Every week it's crying, boo-hoo. HAve we ever had a happy week with Jennifer?

Her dances were great though, and she has the perfect scores to prove it. She has such nice natural ability and lines in her dance, she simply outclasses everyone if we're talking technique. But her likability is waning I think, and it's gone for "awww we have to let Baby win!" to "quit your whining and give it to the Disney kid."

So my prediction, while it's been Bristol's time to go for a while now, I think she's won over America thanks to the Evil Genius of her mother. I kid, I kid, but you know what I mean. Look at me for example. I couldn't stand Bristol at first and now I'm kinda pulling for the kid. Kill me now. I'm gonna go eat this hot steaming crow with a big tall glass of shut up juice.

Who's going home? Brandy. She bugs, and I don't think she has the fan base, and with a weak performance? Toast.

What'd you think of the Semifinals?
