Tuesday Night Open Thread
Tonight's DWTS is just another reminder this show is merely a popularity contest and has little to do with dancing ability. Nancy Grace, whose schmaltzy waltz last night got the second lowest scores of the night, is safe. David Arguette, whose feet didn't do any more dancing than Chaz Bono (who got the lowest score) is safe. Neither Nancy or David have the redeeming quality that Chaz Bono has -- a likeable TV presence and a buoyant personality. So I'm not criticizing voters for keeping Chaz. I'm glad about that.
