Sad, so sad.

Fat men should not dance.

Poor Karina, she won't be there long.

don

He wasn't that bad. I can just see, all across america, as thousands of computers are hijacked, log in to the ABC website, and vote for the Woz! 8-)

Charlie

Yep. He was surprisingly strong.

Other than a minor clock synchronization problem between the left and right foot drives, its not a bad attempt.

Votes for him should only count if they come from a Mac. ;-)

I wonder whether any botnets will be voting?

Yes, he was that bad and more.

Like most geeks, he does not know rhythm from bit bashing.

He also has no clue the he is dancing with a partner, he never looked at her.

He danced _at_ her not _with_ her.

He will be the first to go next week.

I wonder if Karina got the short straw.

don

No. Steve-O is gone (injury), The Woz is still participating... but likely gone tomorrow night during the first elimination.

That sounds like the first rushed trip of the day to the bathroom when your medication is too strong. Rather appropriate for Apple, though. ;-)

Nope, the Woz is still there. He won the dance off! I don't have high hopes for him next week though... :-(

Charlie

Yep. I was surprised he squeaked by. Probably all those Apple-user votes ;-)

Considering the couple has three left feet?

Hey, he got me watching a show I would have otherwise ignored!

Steve-O is not gone. The rules are that an injured contestant who does not choose to drop out is judged by his/her performance in dress rehersal.

I am not a big fan of the kinds of things that Steve-O does, but one of them won me over:

STEVE-O: "Lots of people have gone out on the African plains and walked among the lions. We will be the first to do it wearing a Zebra suit..."

Now that's genius.

I think he danced better that Belinda Carlisle[1]. The judges gave them the same score, so he couldn't have been too obviously worse. I don't see anyone left bad enough to go before he does, though.

If anyone isn't familiar with it already, here is Woz's website. [

Wozniak is gone, right now ;-).

Wozniak has insulted all geeks that DO know how to dance.
