Nice Guys Get Cut First - Dancing With the Stars 3, Week 1 Results

Apart from the actual results, my favorite part of the results show is the confessional. Stuff leaks out here, like the fact that Joey Lawrence split his pants in two when he bent down to support Edyta during his cha cha and he obligingly bends over to show us. It looks like he’s a boxer man. Thanks, Joe. Tucker says that their campaign is based on fun, not competence. Well, that explains it. Emmitt is tickled to have gotten a standing ovation for dancing, of all things, and his cha cha is what the judges choose for an encore performance.

Tom Jones sings “It’s Not Unusual” while Louis and Karena dance. His voice is immortal gold, of course, undistinguishable from twenty years ago. Then on to my least favorite part, Samantha Harris interviews the stars with the truly terrible scores. Wasn’t it painful enough the first time around? A new segment asks audience members what they think. There are many opinions but one consensus, “If there is a God in Heaven, Tucker Carlson will not be back next week.” And I thought I was harsh.

Another new segment sponsored by Slim Fast takes a viewer and puts them through a similar program the stars are going through for the duration of the season. I wanted to hate such a sketchy gimmick, but it’s actually cool. It’s nice to see a normal person get the same chance our stars do, and the working Mom they chose will learn a new dance every week, starting with the mambo. She amazed herself and her family with what she learned in a week and I want to see what she does with it.

Tom Jones comes back again to sing “She’s A Lady” then the final results are pared down. Tucker and Elena get the boot, of course. What is it about Tucker that viewers hated so much? I could just as easily have been Sara and Tony. Tucker is one of those guys who’s seems secure in himself no matter what he’s doing. Who else could wear a spotted red bow tie and get away with it? He wasn’t embarrassed and humiliated like Jerry was then he reveals he’s friends with Kenny Mayne, last season’s first cut. Ah, that makes sense. Personality -wise, they could be twins. I’m sure Tucker is relieved to be going back to journalism. Just keep him away from the bar at weddings.
