Dancing With the Stars: The Reality of Network Reality TV?

We here at Oddjack can be a little slow on the uptake, so let’s get this straight. For the last week, John O’Hurley – aka Seinfeld’s own J. Peterman – wore deadly short odds on winning it all on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars finale. Then, last night, the ABC soap star Kelly Monaco and her partner needed three perfect tens to waltz off with the hardware – no easy trick as no judge had given out so much as a single ten in the entire competition. And after looking a bit lost then nearly being dropped on her starlet skull as the music faded, Monaco landed the three perfect scores. So now the starlet on ABC’s own General Hospital wins the highest rated reality show in the ABC line-up and gets the fat crossplug on ABC’s Good Morning America. This after representing ABC on The Daytime Emmy Awards broadcast in May.

J. Peterman, we suffer with you, you magnificent bastard. Still, we’re glad we didn’t wager any money on your charm and grace.
