Dancing with the Stars Most Memorable Year Recap
It was a night of tears, dancing, and grumpy judges.
So, backstory. My mom, dad, sister, and wife all love Dancing with the Stars. Which means, I watch dancing with the stars too. Anyway, since my wife and I were watching tonight's show, I thought I'd share my (not a dancer) thoughts on the show.
I wrote this just stream of consciousness as we watched the show, so if it's a bit disjointed that's why.
Ginger Zee
Memorable year: 2013 the year she met Ben her husband in Flint, MI
Dancing to: Home - Phillip Phillips
Val looks rather unkempt with one side of his shirt untucked and weird manbun.
I ran to the kitchen to grab dinner … missed the dance. I came back to see a crying baby hopefully that’s not a bad omen for the night.
Score: 21/30
Doug Flutie
Memorable year: 2015 the year his father passed away shockingly his mother passed at the same time. My heart has been ripped out

Jodie Sweeten
Memorable year: 2015 being sober for five years, and returning to her childhood home of Full House

She's a contender to win it. I mean I don't know much about dancing but she danced.

Score: 23/30
Mischa Barton
