Dancing with the Stars: Surprise
Joanna Krupa was robbed.
Dumped from the competition because her name wasn’t Osmond or Osbourne, the supermodel should have been in the final two, squaring off with Mya. Instead, she’s like so many others in this contest, voted off because she doesn’t have a big enough profile. (Stacy Keibler, are you listening?)
Krupa was elegant, sexy, sassy and smart.
She lost to Donny Osmond — who was horrible Monday night — and Kelly Osbourne — who admitted she just made things up. Even playing field? Hardly.
Still, that means Mya is in it to win it. But she, too, could be bulldozed by the recognition factor. Kelly is clearly not going to win but Donny has enough of a profile to pull him ahead of the far-superior Mya.
Next week, as my grandma would say, “We’ll see.”
Some other things to note from Tuesday’s show:
1. “Wardrobe malfunction” has become a good way of excusing bad moves.
2. My what big teeth you have, Barry Gibb.
3. Melissa — the dumped “Bachelorette” — looked great. She should be back dancing. But why no shoes?
4. Cheryl Burke is always, always good.
5. The Michael Jackson tribute done by the professionals is Emmy worthy. Look for it to be nominated next year.
6. Why are there so many foreign professionals? Does the U.S. lack good professional dancers? Or are they all on “So You Think You Can Dance”?
7. Bruno needs a muzzle.
8. Samantha Harris could leave the show and no one would care.
9. Julianne Hough should be back on the show. (And, BTW, did you know she broke up with Chuck Wicks? Ah, how short these DWTS romances are.)
10. There’s a secret weapon behind Donny Osmond who hails from Siouxland. Tim Gallagher has the story and you’ll get it later this week in The Journal. Be looking for it.
Meanwhile, Vote MYA!
