Dance War: Bruno vs Carrie Ann

Anyone watch this? Damn, this show is boring. As far as I can tell so far it is some knock-off of So You Think You Can Dance, but the contestants have to sing too?

I know there is not much else to watch due to the strike but this is really pushing it.

Well, I saw some of it switching back/forth from the game. They really got to cut out the singing, no one wants that. I'll keep watching.

I miss SYTYCD. At least they were on the new year eve special.

It would be more fun watching these two have a real girl fight in the ring.

Those group numbers gave me flashbacks to Grease: You're the One that I Want

I just read that Zach guy they were hyping so much is Julianne Hough's ex.

I'm really sorry to , but this show reached my "Shia LaBeouf" level of hatred after the 3,485,926 time I heard that jackass say "She's such a diva."

Although I love Carrie Ann Inaba and respect her profession, I think this show is a ridiculous idea.

I couldn't stop thinking about Ballistic: Eks vs. Sever when ever they show the title graphic.

I only caught about 5 minutes of this, DVRed the rest but I'm not sure I'm going to go back and finish it. It seemed like a watered down version of So You Think You Can Dance. I might give it another shot when the auditions are over, but even then, the premise is silly.

I'm not real clear on what the premise is? What do you win? What is the point?

This show is horrible. They wannabe American Idol and SYTYCD but they suck at both part. Who give these 2 to judge if someone can sing or not? Shit, at least Paula Adbul has some #1 singles and known for her dancing/choreography to her credential. Another thing, the editing suck. Lack of drama and emotion for me to feel sorry for some of them not making it.

Well, I don't know much about Bruno, but Carrie Ann Inaba is a well known dance producer/chereographer. She was one of the original fly girls on In Living Color back in the 1990's. I think she's definitely a good judge of dance talent.

I know Carrie Ann from In Living Color, but she don't know shit about singing. So for her to judge if she/he has a great voice is retarded. And in my previous post, I clearly stated their judging creditial for singing, not dancing.

I can't even believe they let some of them into the top 30, let alone top 14. I don't know that much about dance but most of them were horrible singers! UGH. I like Bruno and Carrie Ann because of DWTS and that's the only reason I watched. Really boring. They are trying for High School Musical?

Bruno has already done this show in the UK called Dance X (versus another lady)

it was not bad, trust me it should get better when the groups are split

Anyone see Bruno on Jay Leno hitting on Bill Maher? "Throw me a bone and I'll throw you one right back". Carrie Ann was trying to reel him in. It was uncomfortable and hysterical to watch!

Actually enjoyed the talent on the show. Still dont know how this works or what the big payoff for the entertainers are?

This is quite possibly the worst show I've ever sat through. The only reason why I watched all of it was because I'm out of town and my nieces are watching it.
It was a train wreck.

At this point, it's blasphemy to say that this is anything like SYTYCD. Last week for me. The dancers have some talent, but the choregraphy and overall format is just terrible.

"Last week was the biggest battle in Dance War history!"

Um ... it was the only battle in Dance War history.

The losing team got robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Team Bruno lost!?


Edit to add:

Spoiler:
He had to take Kelsey. Charity sucked. She was horrible in that last ditch effort to stay. Kelsey was having fun.

Carrie Ann is so transparent. Last week she bitches about Bruno's team not featuring a solo performance. This week she bitches about them ... featuring a performance.

It was too predictable which team would win. Women make up 95% of the audience, and women don't like Bruno. Add in Carrie Ann's about-to-cry routine every 5 minutes, and it doesn't really matter that Bruno's team was significantly better last week.

That final performance was cringe-worthy. At least Charity got to wear her Queen Amidala outfit before getting booted off the show. Tip for the future: learn how to sing.
