Congrats, Ms. Yamaguchi!
Well, I didn’t follow the Dancing With the Stars competition as closely as I’d like - got sidetracked into dancing myself for a month. But I’m not surprised that Kristi Yamaguchi is the clear winner. As I said at the beginning of the season, it almost seems to be an unfair advantage - the goal of the show is to get people who may not be normally dancers to dance well. An Olympic Gold Medalist in figure skating is going to have a pretty good idea of how to move her body, I think.
Still, the purpose is entertainment, and she was certainly entertaining. Check out one of the winning dance:
I have to say that her precision dancing shows through - and not in a good way. If you watch her hands as she flings them out, they don’t really have a sense of abandon - it’s like she is, as Leon says, “a little stiff”. But it’s an amazing dance, and seems so fun.
My fellow B5Media blogger the Dancewatcher gave what I think was the most succinct review I’ve ever heard of the rest of the show: “It wasn’t two hours of junk…” That’s a good sign; it means the producers is listening to the critics who need to have actual content put into the finales if they’re going to want to cram two hours worth of sponsors into it.
