    • mariokarina.jpgIn just three short years, the ABC dance competition series, Dancing With The Stars,  has hit one hundred episodes. The series celebrated that fact last night during its weekly results show. Here we are towards the end of season six, and we really show no signs of the dancing craze stopping. Next week, we head into the semi-finals with the final four left in the competition. One more celebrity and their partner was sent home last night. This week, that honor went to Mario, the youngest competitor on the series. The audience was packed with former contestants, and some even came on stage to perform.

      When the show premiered a few years ago, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. It seemed to be trying to capitalize on the popularity of So You Think You Can Dance, which returns for another season later this month. The first season was a hit and miss, and there was even some controversy with who won the competition the first time out the gate. We’ve had less problems of that sort since the show premiered, but the show has had its share of drama. Cristian has continued on, even with the injury to his arm, but you have to wonder if this injury will end up causing him the competition as things get even tougher in these final weeks. His partner, Cheryl Burke, won’t be able to work around his injury forever.

      While I wasn’t too sure about this series when it began, I now look forward to seeing it when it airs. There is already talk about who will be joining for season seven. Rumors are that Paula Abdul wants to join as a celebrity dancer. However, the judges have already mentioned some reservations about this. We’ll have to see what happens in the month ahead. If she was to join the show, it would have to be during the fall season. Even with the two series taping close by, her appearing during the spring when American Idol is in full swing is completely out of the question.
