RECAP: Who Deserves to Keep DANCING?
by Devin MacDonald - May 14, 2013
Tonight's semifinal spectacular struck the perfect balance between gimmicks and knock-your-socks-off, wow performances. But at the heart of this heated competition for the mirrorball trophy is a naturally occurring spring of dramatic tension no amount of half-tone montages or hyperbolic metaphors could ever replicate: the hordes of soap-loving middle-aged women who could very well put Ingo through to the final despite his cringeworthy lack of coordination, leaving one of his wildly talented competitors out in the cold.

RECAP: DANCING's Spotlight on Inspiring Dancers
by Devin MacDonald - May 01, 2013
You have to hand it to ABC; if you're going to stretch a results show that should take all of five minutes to fill an hour, it's a respectable and classy thing to bring something to the show that really matters. They may not hesitate to indulge in some sensational packaging, but they definitely keep things in perspective. (more...)

by Devin MacDonald - Apr 30, 2013

RECAP: The STARS Get Sentimental
by Devin MacDonald - Apr 09, 2013
How do you follow up the delightful, glittering spectacle of nostalgia and shirtlessness that is prom night, you ask? With a heavy dose of sappy sentimentality, of course - and when that doesn't work, a bit more shirtlessness. (more...)

RECAP: A Predictable DANCING Elimination
by Devin MacDonald - Apr 03, 2013
For a post-prom extravaganza, this week's elimination was totally lacking in the drama department. No one cried, no one expounded upon the desperate struggles of learning to ballroom dance. Nobody even seemed remotely stressed out about getting the axe. Talk about a letdown! (more...)

RECAP: DANCING's Prom Night is a Hit
by Devin MacDonald - Apr 02, 2013
Picture, if you will, the most cringe-worthy walk down memory lane imaginable. I'm talking tacky dresses, bad hair and middle-aged men and women gyrating on the dance floor all in the name of reliving their glory days. By all counts, DANCING WITH THE STARS' prom night should have been just that train wreck. But ABC had the last laugh this April Fool's, because it was actually kind of awesome. (more...)

This season's crop of B-listers and has-beens certainly know how to bring the petty drama. Unfortunately, that's about all most of them have to offer. (more...)
