I will
you certainly didn't give very good options, sounds like a slanted poll to me.

Yes it is, but that's not unusual around here

Besides, I always thought boycotts were for the overly uptight. There are better things to do in life.

Well I have to admit my boycott is, so far, being assisted by a pretty good Colts Dolphins Game

I eliminated most tv from my life years ago. I won't "boycott" but I won't watch because it's just silly.

Boycott? Generally, a boycott is when you stop buying a company's products in order to coerce them into a different type of behavior. If you don't watch a TV show, it's not really a boycott. It's just - well - you're not watching a TV show! I'm sure there's a lot of TV shows you're not watching. Does that mean you're boycotting all of them?

Wishing for someone to be injured on a tv show. Brilliant ! These people should change their screen names to Kook and Sick.

Tom Delay may be many things to many people but he definately is a better dancer than Tucker Carlson. I think he was the first to go home.

Dancing with the Stars is the one reality show I watch and enjoy. I like it better when they get rid of the two left feet crowd, but it looks like at least the men don't have any really confirmed misses this year. I'd much rather see contestants have to do something that involves more then manipulation and open greed to go on and when you get the non dancers out of the way its got some good stuff.

DeLay and Burke danced a cha-cha-cha to open the competition, performing to the Troggs' 1965 hit "Wild Thing."

The judges were left shocked by DeLay's hip-shaking moves - Tonioli proclaimed, "You're crazier than Sarah Palin!" - but were less-than-impressed with the actual dancing.

He was complimented on his "natural grace" and for being "light on his feet," but DeLay was only able to muster 16 points out of 30 from the three judges. Added to a last-place finish in the "relay" portion of the program, DeLay and Burke ended the first night of competition with a total of 20 points, leaving them vulnerable as the competition moves along.
