Words cannot express the shock of Sabrina Bryan's untimely exit from Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday night. Perhaps an acronym would be more appropriate. Like, say, WTF? The hosts were baffled, the audience booed, the judges were disgusted. It's a miracle Marie Osmond kept her balance when the grim results came in that the ballroom dance-off's frontrunner had foxtrotted herself off the show. Read more below.
Monday
Dancing with the Stars: - Competition
The Bachelor: Sheena Stewart may have been all tears when Bachelor Brad broke her heart this week, but during a conference call on Thursday she was giggly as could be, responding with a "no comment" when asked if she's dating anyone new. Hopefully the next dude won't be turned off by her "hopelessly romantic" (key word: hopeless) mom, who offered to take Brad ring shopping. Scary, but perhaps not so much as Bettina's evil step-mom.
Project Runway Canada: Michael just didn't measure up this week. And for good reason. I wouldn't wear her futuristic fuchsia getup as a Judy Jetson costume for Halloween -- let alone on the city streets. Fashion suicide, people!
Tuesday
Dancing with the Stars - Elimination: Clearly, no one is safe on this show. Sabrina Bryan, the 23-year-old Cheetah Girls star, and her pro partner Mark Ballas were the first couple this season to earn a perfect 30, and continued to top the leaderboard each week. They scored a decent 25 on Monday, but somehow America forget to vote for them. Either that, or voters assumed Bryan was a shoo-in. Adding insult to injury, Bryan's last dance was accompanied by a live version of My Eyes Adored You by Barry Manilow.
Beauty and the Geek: Yay, more recaps. Like, we really needed to see additional footage of male beauty Sam and castoff Rebecca's makeout sessions, complete with sound effects. And more clips of the geeks being extra-geeky. The alltime lowlight? When Ontario-bred beauty Jen called her beloathed partner William a "stupid retard geek" during a nasty feud. That's so not friendly, eh?
The Biggest Loser: Neil can play apologetic all he wants, but there's no way America will forgive him for gaining 17 pounds to throw the competition last week. He might be lighter this week, but messing with people who are trying to meet personal goals (including this week's castoff, David) will weigh him down.
Wednesday
Kid Nation: While trick-or-treaters were pounding down my door, it was money the youngsters of KN were after this Halloween. Divad the diva was especially hungry, opening a snack shop of "borrowed" goods and patting herself on the back so people would nominate her for the $20,000 gold star. Quiet workaholic Nathan won it instead, proving that in Bonanza City -- unlike the real world -- you don't have to be a loudmouth to get somewhere.
America's Next Top Model: Normally recap episodes are about as pointless as a model in a hotdog-eating contest, but ANTM delivered some quality never-before-seen footage this week. Bianca's nasty 'tude (like her hair) has been missing since makeover day, but a glimpse into her past catfights with Lisa, Chantal, Heather and Saleisha (to name a few) has earned her the title of America's Next Top You-Know- What.
Oh, Jaime. After bragging about how smart she is, the 22-year-old student's plan to use what she thought was an Immunity Idol block at Tribal Council fell through when host Jeff Probst revealed it was just a measly hunk of firewood. Oops. Turns out, immunity was the only thing saving the former Zhan Hu tribe member from elimination. With the two tribes merging this week, the Fei Longs are in full takedown mode. Nice knowin' ya, Zhan Hu.
