'Dancing With the Stars' recap: Party Over, Wayne

That segment gushing over Harold Wheeler, his orchestra, and their, shall we say, polarizing singers was a little bizarre. I had no idea the couples rehearsed to the original recordings of their chosen-for-them songs. That means the cast must be even more shocked than we are when some of the poorly chosen live songs end up sounding like crap on performance day. Yikes. I did enjoy the segment about how all the celebrities freak out right before they perform. The close-up of Maks spinning in slow motion right after Jennie said, ''The dancing part is all a blur,'' was classic. ''It's like a high-speed light show,'' Jennie said. (I think that's where key audience member Anne Heche, looking slightly dazed if not stoned, must have thought she was.)

Comment of the Week!

From: WTF?
When I do a dance in honor of my dead mom it will be a beer-soaked polka.

Great choice! Mine would probably be a dark-chocolate-covered Running Man around the house. (Hi, Dee! I love you!) What about you, Cheeto- (but not Cheetah-) loving readers? Was anyone sad to see Wayne shuffle off stage? If I hold a funeral for Drew's short-lived hosting career, will you show up? And which couple is in the best shape to perform either the waltz or the paso doble next week?
