I'm Not Watching

I am declaring it right here, right now. I will not be watching Dancing With The Stars this season. I just can't do it. I watched the past 3 seasons and I can't put that much time into a show anymore. It's not even as if I'm too busy to watch. I'm not. But it's a show that requires a lot of time to watch. Typically 3 hours a week spread over 2 days. Well, I'm sorry DWTS, but I can't do it anymore.

Mostly, my reasons for this decision are because the cast is totally lame this season. With the exception of Steve Guttenberg, who is only a good pick because, uh, where has been been all these years?! The mystery will finally be solved. But I don't care enough to watch and find out because I'm sure I'll get sucked in to the show if I tune in for even an hour. So, I won't be watching a single minute.

Kelly Taylor is the new Steve Sanders

The new cast of Dancing with the Stars was announced this morning. Most of this cast is kind of boring and I have no idea who they are, but don't worry, I'm sure I'll still watch it. I am happy to see another 90210 alum join the show; Scary Spice has a reunion tour to prep for, so she's probably ahead of the curve; and finally Cheryl Burke gets someone who isn't young and nimble. Supposedly the format of the show is going to change and Tom Burgeron will be joined by a different co-host, because Samantha Harris is preggers and about to pop.

• Melanie "Mel B" Brown, 32, Spice Girls ("Scary Spice") singer (pro partner: Maksim Chmerkovskiy);
• Sabrina Bryan, 22, actress/singer (The Cheetah Girls) (pro partner: Mark Ballas);
• Helio Castroneves, 32, racecar driver (pro partner: Julianne Hough);
• Mark Cuban, 48, businessman (owner of NBA's Dallas Mavericks) (pro partner: Kym Johnson);
• Jennie Garth, 35, actress (Beverly Hills, 90210) (pro partner: Derek Hough, older brother of Julianne Hough);
• Josie Maran, 29, supermodel (pro partner Alec Mazo);
• Cameron Mathison, 38, actor (All My Children) (pro partner: Edyta Sliwinska;
• Floyd Mayweather, Jr., 30, boxer (pro partner: Karina Smirnoff);
• Wayne Newton, 65, singer (pro partner: Cheryl Burke);
• Marie Osmond, 47, singer/doll designer (pro partner: Jonathan Roberts);
• Albert Reed, 22, supermodel (pro partner: Anna Trebunskaya; and
• Jane Seymour, 56, actress (pro partner: Tony Dovolani).

I wouldn't say I'm a die-hard fan of the show. I watch it every week, but I never vote. OK, not until the final episode...we all have our addictions.
