Results Shows: Dancing With The Stars and American Idol

**SPOILER ALERT**

I previously stated that I wouldn't do any posts for Dancing With The Stars until they narrowed the field. But I figured since I already do a results post for American Idol, I can roll the two together.

Dancing With The Stars
It was a "special double elimination" this week, with one man and one woman going.

For the men, it was Penn Jillette, and I couldn't be happier. Well, maybe I could, if they had made it non-gender balanced and kicked Adam Corolla off, too. But all is not lost. With Penn it is a two-fer since his silent partner, the mop top, mute, freakazoid Teller, will be gone as well.

I still can't understand who pays to see them in Vegas. I'd say Asian businessmen, but they are over at Olympic Gardens stuffing dollar bills in dancer's g-strings. Lest you think I'm a bit racist, I speak from experience. I used to go to Comdex every year in mid-November. Over 200,000 attendees at the time looking over the latest computer models. Most of the "regular" shows on the strip would all go on hiatus and they'd bring in risque offerings to tempt the Asian men because, according to all the dealers, they weren't gamblers and the casinos needed to make their money in other ways. The porno biz got hip to the idea, too, and used to schedule "AdultDex" for the same week in one of the hotel's convention space. "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Or, as the sales and marketing team that used to travel for our company used to say, "What goes on the road stays on the road."

Back to DWTS. For the women, it was Monica Seles that was eliminated. She was better than a lot of the men but she was the worst of the women.

American Idol
It was easy Chickezie Eze who didn't get enough votes to stay.

The bottom three were Chickezie, Syesha, and Jason. Syesha shouldn't have been this low and dreads-boy should have went. All in due time, Jason, all in due time.

In Vancouver you can't move in the casinos for Chinese, Korean, and Filipino guys. The biggest casino in BC is in Richmond, a predominantly Asian part of the city. It's funny that they would be such inveterate gamblers at home and then get to the gambling mecca and suddenly switch to strippers.

Only thing I can think of is that it isn't North American men of Asian descent, rather men actually from Asia.

All would be right with the world if Amanda and Chickeze were back and Ramiele and Kristi were gone.

THEN the competition would be normal.

I truly believe that Kristy gives me gas.

I am so glad that Penn is gone. He gives me the creeps. Always has.

I would have rather seen Monica stay and Adam go. I know they were all "boy/girl" and all, but lord, he's not only a bad dancer, but he's not even funny - and he tells jokes for a living.
