i am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes

So I've been watching DWTS off and on for probably 5 seasons -- depending on who the stars are. Three of which Derek has won. [Derek is my DWTS boyfriend btw] I often wonder how they match Stars with Dancers and who Derek's been fucking to get all the best female contestants.

Poor Maks. He always comes so close but as far as I know he's never won. Who *isn't* he fucking?

And then, I watch Cheryl Burke, especially this season, and I wonder? Does she hate her job? Is there any reason why her extensions are half-assed? Why her footwork is a little sloppy? Why her choreography isn't as awesome as the other Dancers? I thought maybe I was being unfair to Cheryl for some reason I'm not aware of, but I watched them last week when it was all pros [to make sure it wasn't dancing with the star that made her sloppy] and Cheryl looked like an amateur compared to the other pros. I watched it repeatedly. She had no flare in her turns, her extensions were *still* half-assed and she just didn't "sell it" it any way.

Has she always been like this? Does she just hate Rob Kardashian? But last season, I noticed it too. The last time I saw her dance *well* was with Ochocinco.

Is she burnt out? Am I an over-critical cunt?

[well, yes, I am, nearly always but am I now?]

Does Len really hate Bruno as much as it appears?

Inquiring minds want to know
