So, I’m back to perusing plans for something in a modest ark… I’m beginning to wonder if the rain will ever stop here. It’s like I somehow switched coasts and I’m in Seattle. Only it’s humid and the mosquito situation is now at critical mass. I’m guessing that’s not a problem in Seattle. Isn’t it like…fall? I would like for that to start now please.

In other news, over on DWTS, David Arquette and George’s Ex were in the Bottom 2 last night, and Tom even went so far as to say they were actually the bottom two vote getters and not just random order of elimination, like most weeks. Rounding out the bottom 3 was Chaz...and was I the only one who felt kinda sorry for him when they said he was safe? Lacey was clearly surprised and I think Chaz just smiled through the pain. I’m sure it’s gratifying…but I can’t help but think that another week of grueling rehearsals is so not what his body needs.

End of the night…it’s George’s Ex & Val going home. Given Val’s inability to figure out that he’s no longer on the competitive circuit, but coddling pseudo-celebrities now, I wasn’t sad to see either of them leave. However, given Val also choreographed the opening number featuring all the male dancers on the show? Yeah, please keep him around for more of that. It was also nice seeing Chelsea and Dmitry. Even if I kind of fast forwarded through all the filler. (Hey, Mark Harmon was waiting. C’mon!) Next week we get Emotional Backstory Interpretive Dance. And given the cast this season, that’s gonna be…interesting.

Speaking of NCIS...I am liking how the writers are finally giving Tony a more dimensional character once again. We really haven’t seen this since back in the Jeanne Benoit days, so it’s nice to see. Loved the twist at the end. Did you figure that one out? Good job, writers. Next week we get McGee’s aunt visiting the team…and she’s played by Lily Tomlin! Ha! So, after the sure-to-be wrenching dances of darkness & despair, we can trot over to NCIS and get a few much needed laughs.
