Dance Wars – Bruno vs. Carrie Ann
Written by: JohnOk, so this show is ok, but they are missing the point of good reality TV. It’s not about Bruno and Carrie Ann. That was a good way to promote the show and get people to watch initially. However, the best reality TV is when you fall in love with the contestants. In the end we could care less if Bruno or Carrie Ann wins. They are celebrities now and so if they win or lose we don’t care. We do love to watch an underdog or someone extremely talented come out of nowhere and be successful. That’s reality TV in a nutshell.
I know that Nigel Lythgothe (sp?) from American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance has realized this since he’s said as much. It’s unfortunate that whoever is producing Dance Wars hasn’t figured it out.
And for the record, I hope that the blonde girl on Bruno’s team wins.
Update: Ok, I had to check her name is Kelsey
Update 2: I had to find a last name. Her name is Kelsey Bourg. What kind of name is that? Not that she had a choice, but it sounds like something out of star trek.
Update 3: Here’s a video of Team Bruno from Dance Wars. Very nice (even if they can’t name the contestants right):
