HIMYM and also Dancing with the Stars

I put Dancing with the Stars on the DVR this year because I'm a SYTYCD fan and both Dmitry and Lacey Schwimmer are on this year. (Dmitry is dancing with Holly from Girls Next Door which is HI-larious.) But the big shock was SatC Movie's naked guy—you know, the one next door to Samantha's place in LA who was always in the shower—and what a great dancer he is! He easily got the top score and was fun to watch.

Oh, and also Lil' Kim, who wasn't bad. She said that she started watching Dancing with the Stars when she was in prison, and dedicated her dance to "my girls at the federal detention center." The way she tells the story makes it sound like when Tracy Turnblad is in jail and the other girls are ironing her hair and talking about how hot her boyfriend is while they watch him sadly dancing alone on the Corny Collins Show. (Side note: omg musical!Corny/Maybelle ftw!)

Right, so ( HIMYM )

. Your thoughts?

First idol poll post of the year tonight!

Oh America, give me one more chance (to show you that I can sing)

The MJ theme leaked last week, and the two-out-tomorrow was predictable, since they can't exactly add another week to the schedule. Simon has clearly decided that he is the head judge and should be treated as such, but Paula continues to be actually useful. I like how they rotate the judges so Simon isn't always last.

( 'It's fine being artistic, just not on this show'—Simon Cowell. )

[Poll #1363430]

I didn't vote; I'm not quite feeling it yet, but that might be because I don't hate anyone. Also, I want to see what the twist will be—I suspect we're getting some sort of Dancing with the Stars or SYTYCD set up. I'm annoyed that they didn't tell us what the system will be before we voted; it might change people's voting strategy.
