From Showtime To Dancing With The Stars?!
I’m not one to watch reality television, with the exception of America’s Next Top Model, which I can neither explain nor justify. But this coming season of Dancing With The Stars might just have me watching for the first time ever. Twoof Showtime’s stars will be strutting their stuff on at least the first episode, and will have me rooting them on until they’re inevitabley cut from the program. Both Marlee Matline (Jodi on The L Word) and Penn Gillette (of Bullshit) have signed on to participate, and I’m betting both will be suprises.
With Marlee being deaf, she’ll most likely become the automatic underdog as people watch to see how she handles keeping time with the music, while Penn will pull in the swing vote with his snarky attitude and what I’m imagining will be impressive dance skills. The man is a magician, people!
I could list the other stars cast for the season, but I honestly didn’t pay attention. And I probably won’t give any recaps here, unless one of them does really well (or when they’re kicked off the show) … for that you’ll have to hope Watching Reality TV starts to get updated again. That said, if you read this and are a fan of the show, contact me if you want to write weekly recaps for the readers. I’m always up for having guest posters!

Penn Jillette is toast. But I hear Jason Taylor is in, too. So, I have to give a little squee for that!
