I've also never heard a duck whine.

That's not a whine, that's a squawk!

I'ts just as annoying though

I get that there are people who watch shows I think are a waste of time, and it makes sense that someone who's been popular on another reality show would draw a significant audience here. But was Kendra this sulky and....toothy as she is here? is this really part of her charm?

First I want people to know I do not watch that trashy show, just some shows on E! If the commericals for Kendra is how the show really is, yes she is whiney, sulky, immature, shares TMI all the time. And those are the 20 sec promos. I could not imagine watching an entire hour or season of the garbage.

I do feel bad for Louis because I think that he really cares about his students when they want to try. I agree with whoever said the first dance that Kelly O did on the show was all time favorite. Louis took her from a scared bad girl to a confident young woman.

Ugh. Kendra safe AND Toby Keith? Which circle of hell have I stumbled into?

Right there with ya!

I read Pia Toscano is singing on DWTS next weeks results show.

I will freely admit I have watched Girls Next Door a lot - totally putrid trainwreck TV of the worst degree. But "Kendra" -- I watched it once. Totally boring, crude, not even trainwreck-worthy. She is lucky she caught Hef's eye because there are so many people who have a fascination with his franchise.

On behalf of ducks, take that back. Ducks are cute.

Anyone object to comparing Kendra to the Canadian Gees that crap all over the grass here? She craps all over the stage, so....

LOL, I think he kind of had tongue-in-cheek there (though I admit I've never met a male pro Latin dancer who isn't more than a bit pleased with himself so maybe I'm just used to it. It's their schtick.)

I got the impression that he was joking, as well. I always thought he was a conceited prick. But, as i said above, I've really liked his rapport with Kirsty.

I was waiting today, in a waiting room, and there was a March 14 copy of People Magazine. As I paged through it (never got to the Charlie Sheen meltdown article) there was a one page blurb for the new DWTS season about to start. Kendra's quote was "I have tons of fans who will keep me on even if I stink"

Guess she called that!

Per Louis' tweets, he's been sick. Perhaps this contributed to why he was so low energy this week. (Editorial: The stress of working with someone like Kendra CAN lower one's immune response, so I blame her.)
