Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 6:24AM It's Regis' last week on Live. Each day they are showing a segment of something Regis'
Yesterday, it was kind of a blooper, when things go wrong reel.
Regis & Kelly, Regis Philbin, last week in ABC, Events, News, People, Television Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 8:41PM After a day fighting off the effects of food poisoning, I gathered my wits and strength long enough to catch last night's performance show.
The stars of the show last night were Ricki and Derek, with Rob and Cheryl close behind. J.R. and Karina ended up in third and Hope and Maks were left in the dust.
One couple will be eliminated tonight and be left out of the finals. Based on past elimination shows and their below average performance, Hope and Maks seem to be a pretty safe bet to go home.
Let's see who makes the finals and some Muppets tonight.
The encore dance is Ron and Cheryl with their "I Go To Rio" routine.
A result is coming up with Rob and Cheryl finding out if they will be making the finals. They will be coming back.
Next, a performance by Cobra Starship. Some great dancing by Kym, Tristian and others.
Up next, Maks and Hope find out where they stand. I think the judges again were a little harsh on this pair. They will be in jeopardy and will find out their fate.
After a little segment with Carson Kressley on the DWTS wardrobe department, we finally get to see Derek and Anna in the Design-A-Dance routine.
Next, our uplifting story featuring Kenny Wormald, who stars in the current movie "Footloose." He talks about how difficult it is to be a male dancer. They set out to prove that dance is a manly sport. These kids did a great job with the pro dancers.
The Muppets make their appearance on DWTS to promote their new movie. Great to have Stadler and Waldorf as the judges.
More results with Ricki and Derek and J.R. and Karina. J.R. fought through his ankle injury and they go into jeopardy. Rick and Derek head to the finals.
That leaves us with either Hope and maks or J.R. and Karina exiting tonight.
The couple heading to the finals along with Ricki and Derek and Rob and Cheryl is J.R. and Karina. No surprise.
Finals next week.
DWTS, Dancing With the Stars, Maks, Results, semi-finals in ABC, Dancing With the Stars, News, People, Television Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 6:16PM One "Matt" is out and one "Matt" is in. With Matt Schaub out with a foot injury, Matt Leinart gets a chance to silence the critics and get his name back.
Leinart, the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner for Southern California, re-signed with the Texans in the offseason after not taking a snap in 2010. He turned down other offers to return to Houston because he was comfortable with Kubiak and his offensive system.
Houston rank eighth in total offense this season (396.2 yards per game).
"Your time's going to come, and you've got to be accountable for when that opportunity comes," Leinart said. "They know that I work hard and I study hard and I'm prepared very well. We'll going to take this and go game-by-game and I don't think much is going to change."
Leinart guided Southern Cal to national championship games after the 2004 and `05 seasons, and went 37-2 as a starter in college.
He was drafted 10th overall by Arizona in 2006 and appeared in 12 games as a rookie under coach Dennis Green, throwing 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He broke his collarbone in the fifth game of the next season, Kurt Warner took over and Leinart was mostly a spectator over the next 2 1/2 seasons.
Leinart talked openly during training camp about earning another starting job. Now he'll get it, just not under the circumstances he wanted.
"I'm bummed. My heart goes out for him," Leinart said. "But he knows and everyone knows that in this profession, things happen, and the next guy has to step up. That's my job and my responsibility.
"That's what I've wanted for a long time, and that's what I've worked hard for every day and prepared for every day," he said. "It's a great opportunity. I'm just excited about the chance."
Kubiak has been increasing Leinart's repetitions in practice, and he's confident Leinart is ready.
"He's played in big football games in this league, he's played in big football games in college," Kubiak said. "Matt's been around it. The key is the whole team rallying around him, and playing well as a team. Matt doesn't have to go win a game, the team has to go win a game. We'll rally around him and get him ready to go."
Schaub, acquired in a trade with Atlanta in March 2007, has started every game for Houston since the start of the 2009 season. Kubiak would not say if Schaub would miss the rest of this year.
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 8:14AM Tiger Woods' third-place finish at the Australian Open Sunday moved the former No. 1 player in the world up eight to 50th in the world rankings.
The current No. 1, Luke Donald, is in the top spot for another week, followed by Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer. Steve Stricker and Dustin Johnson switched places from last week with Stricker in fifth and Johnson sixth.
Adam Scott and Jason Day also flipped from the week before with Scott at No. 7 and Day down to eighth. Webb Simpson inched up one to ninth and Matt Kuchar slid to No. 10.
Nick Watney climbed one rung to 11th and Phil Mickelson sank one to 12th. Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, Graeme McDowell and K.J. Choi remained in their respective places from last week.
Justin Rose, Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia and Hunter Mahan also kept their rankings from the week prior. David Toms completed the top 20.
