More dribs. Later, some drabs.

Oscar is BACK, bitches! Perhaps you will remember that I was inconsolable after my sweet luscious Oscar (top photo) was wrongly sent home early from STEP IT UP & DANCE during Broadway week. You may also remember that Oscar has appeared in a couple of (big name) Broadway shows. This week, the show offered an opportunity for ONE eliminated contestant to return to the show. Oscar and the adorable Mochi made a GREAT team in a salsa number. Oscar served up some Italian/Latin sabor and returned to the show with the same grace and good-sportsmanship that he left with. In other news, permanent-disaster Jessica also returned to the show to compete for the "return" spot, but she mysteriously and suddenly got an "ear inflamation" which gave her another excuse to bail on the show leaving her toxicly gay partner Miguel in the lurch again. He tried to partner with (the adorable) Mochi but dropped her on the floor hard. Not cool. He's pictured in the "bottom" picture in his best Gloria Gaynor circa 1978 outfit.

Another Hottie Goes Home

Once again a reality show has lost its damn mind and sent home a hottie early. My biggest problem with STEP IT UP & DANCE --the Bravo dance/reality show starring the first person everyone thinks of when they think of stripping, I mean dancing, Elizabeth Berkeley-- was always that it started off with 3 or 4 shows featuring the outer fringes of dance which sent a few of the stronger dancers home in favor of people with dance training whose super-charged reality-show persona's pushed them past elimination for a week too many. Then, they finally get around to doing straight-forward (ha ha) Broadway musical theatre, which was Oscar's forté. He's done a number of Broadway shows, so clearly he's "good enough" for Broadway. And, at least 3 of the remaining contestants would have been literally laughed out of a Broadway audition --laughed at by everyone. And, yet, Oscar was sent packing for reasons I still don't understand. He was "peessed" (see photo right) to be put in the elimination group in the first place and rightfully so! Then, he clearly wiped the floor with Michael in BOTH performances (Michael was SO bad the first time, they had to do their number again) and he got sent home. Oh, sweet beautiful Oscar! I'll miss your aDORable accent, and your elegance. You've got so much poise it's flying out of your ass. You were robbed! I hope you enjoy a long and successful career. Stay cute!
