It's traditional.
The producers always include an elderly person and a reality star in the cast.
Why, I have no idea because it's always (choose one) obnoxious, creepy, depressing, nauseating to watch.
This season, seeing astronaut Buzz Aldrin trying to move his 80-year-old keister while slobbering all over his dance partner is all those things. I like sweet little old men and women, but you can just tell Buzz still thinks he can score with the ladies. He certainly scored with me: I give him a score of zero.
And if anyone thought Kate Gosslein was a controlling grouch who has to force a smile for the cameras, turns out you thought right. She's also uncoordinated, whiney and an awful dancer. And by awful, I mean pathetic to watch.
And one more contestant who turned out to be a smarmy douchebag? Jake Pavelka, last season's bachelor who proposed to the horse-faced, cross-eyed sperm bank, Vienna.
His desire for celebrity is palpable. He's a mediocre dancer, but apparently he'll do anything to keep his face in front of the cameras. He's a total phony--you can just tell it.
Some say watching crap like this is a waste of time.
However, as a lover of the macabre, watching DWtS is my distinct pleasure.
Not to mention eyeing that Pussycat Doll on the floor. Yeow!
