‘Dancing’ toward the finale!
Jennie Garth, whose career peaked years ago on “Beverly Hills 90210,” was sent packing on last night’s “Dancing with the Stars” semifinal — after delivering her best performance ever Monday night. Go figure. Maybe viewers got tired of watching her do that weird thing with her mouth.
Left to twirl again in next week’s finale are Marie Osmond, whose popularity has grown from week to week (sympathy for fainting? losing her father? slogging through a divorce? 16-year-old son in rehab?); charismatic race car champ Helio Castroneves; and super-muscular “Scary” Spice Girl Melanie Brown.
Poor Jennie. Just when she got her confidence going and seemed to finally be enjoying herself. Zapped like a bug at a barbecue. The Yummy Mummy, as the ridiculously effusive judge Bruno Tonioli dubbed her, ended her competitive hoofing career with a fragile grin.
What next? Helio consistently lands the highest scores, but Marie and the entire Osmond clan apparently remain beloved icons among the viewing public. Don’t be surprised if she wins that huge, hideous trophy — unless her dances next week are marred by total ineptitude or crashing falls.
The final performance airs Monday with the winner crowned on Tuesday. So far this season, ABC’s hot reality show has sucked in more than 28 million viewers each week.
‘Bachelor&’ Finale Part II
Rumors or wishful thinking? Tuesday, after Monday night’s ridiculous no-proposal conclusion to Austinite Brad Womack’s run on “The Bachelor,” rumors swirled that something interesting might happen on Tuesday night’s “After the Final Rose” episode.
Wrong. Nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. Brad did not change his mind and pop the question to DeAnna or Jenni — or any of the other rejects — as had been speculated on talk radio.
Looking more and more like a sad-eyed loser, Brad tried to explain himself to the women he dumped — thus revealing why the guy owns a bunch of bars in Austin but can’t seem to find a date in his home town.
