Overlord of the Dance
Spider was watching Strictly Dance Fever tonight. For those of you not in the know (God clearly loves you) pairs of dancers compete for the chance to win lots of cash.
That's pretty much it.
All I can really add is that no amount of cash is worth some of the outfits they come out wearing, but each to their own.
This week the dancers had to choose between dancing a Guapacha (you what now?) routine or a Charleston.
Now I'm sure these people are very talented in their own I-stole-these-clothes-from-the-set-of-a-porn-film kind of way. It would be unfair of me to mock their dancing because I can't dance for toffee. Believe me I've tried. I really like toffee.
...
Where was I? Mind wondered for a minute. Oh yes. The point of all this (apart from demonstrating that I think about the unimportant things way too much) is:
The majority of people sat at home watching this have probably hardly ever danced in their entire life. The show will not inspire them to go out, dusting off any moth eaten dancing shoes they may have. At the most they might go out and rent 'Flashdance' again but that's probably it. So why don't they make the show more relevant to the average viewer. If they can make up dances like the Guapacha (wasn't he in Star Wars?) then why not do some of those more established dances we all know and love. The 'How to Embarrass Your Kids' dance, or 'Drunken Woman at Wedding' jive. In fact what makes the show a complete farce is the fact that they never, never do the ultimate all time greatest ever dance.
This show needs 'The Robot'.

actually i think it should be the 'Time Warp'
"This week our contestants have had to choose between 'The Time Warp' and 'The Robot' to try and impress our judges. Will you please welcome our first couple; Dr Frank and Optimus."
'HE's Jewish?'
Family Guy reference? Nice one.
