Reality Television

Jasper County and Monticello residents, well us girls anyway, are all abuzz about the current crop of STARS on “Dancing With the Stars,” including a guy named The Situation.

I excitedly told my husband that The Situation had been voted off DWTS. He had a questioning look on his face and asked, “what kind of situation?”

As The Situation departed, he left us with a lasting memory of his dancing pecs. At least his pecs can dance.

As the rest of the stars and their teachers trip the light fantastic, literally sometimes, the judges have been increasingly cruel, telling Michael “When a Man Loves a Woman” Bolton that he had the worst dance of the season.

Boo Hoo, but Bolton needn’t worry he can still out sing any singer, besides Ray Charles, when singing “Georgia.”

We await the eventual promised bloodbath, tears, pulled muscles, as costumes for male and female dancers get less and less, a virtual collage of swirling sequins and satins.

And ladies, each week as we are glued to our televisions watching Mama Brady, Mama Grizzly’s daughter, the football player with the teeth, a very tall basketball player, the rest of the STARS blend except for the Dancing Queen, Jennifer Grey, always “Baby” to us “Dirty Dancing” fans, we strap on our high heels dreaming that our couch potato husbands will miraculously be transformed into dancing phenoms during half-time on Monday Night Football.

Well, there ain’t no law against dreaming.
