This is it, Gasmii! We’re in the home stretch. This super predictable season of “Dancing With the Stars” is almost over. Before we get to anything about Monday night’s episode, I have to share something. I was doing some reading about the show online and came across some behind the scenes photos from the rehearsals. [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! It’s the penultimate episode of “Dancing With the Stars.” Last week, Sean was FINALLY kicked off my TV. I’d been recapping him for four straight months. There is only so much a girl can take. I’m not even going to post a picture of him here. In fact, I’m just not going to [...]

Hello there, Gasmii! Last week, we finally said goodbye to Sean. Honestly, I didn’t even notice he was gone. His pecs needed to breathe anyway. This was another predictable week. Some people finally got perfect scores and a leader, as I expected, takes a slight step back. I continue to fall in love with Jacoby [...]

Hello, Gasmii! We’re almost to the end of the most ridiculously boring season of “Dancing With the Stars” ever. This week is even more boring because Andy is gone. Seriously, who would have thought that Andy Dick would be the most interesting part of this show? Please come back and make me laugh! This week, [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! This is our first week without TEAM DICK! It was tough for me, but I made it through. Silliness always wins me over, so Andy stole my heart pretty quickly. However, I must put on a brave face and move on. I miss you!  So, first of all, I totally ignored all of [...]

Oh, wait. Not that kind of Latin… Hello there, Gasmii! First of all, I’m apologizing in advance if my snark turns to full out anger at some of our remaining couples. I’m all types of cranky because I’ve had to be at work at 7:00 each morning lately because we’ve been rather busy. Some of [...]

Hola, Gasmii! It’s Latin night on “Dancing With the Stars!” Last week, we lost Victor and Lindsay right on time.  The most interesting thing Victor did all season. This week, our couples each perform their usual dances. However, the highest scoring team (we know it’s going to be Kellie or Zendaya, right?) gets immunity and [...]

Hi, there, Gasmii! It’s time to buckle up, taste the rainbow, and make fun of another episode of “Dancing With the Stars.” Last week, we said goodbye to D. L. Hughly (finally!). That’s all I’m going to say about it because I was so sick of his douchebaggery. Anyway, tonight’s theme is the music of [...]

Howdy, Gasmii! It’s week 6 of “Dancing With the Stars.” Last week, we said goodbye to D.L. and Cheryl which was long overdue. There is just so much more happiness now that he’s gone! Can we lock the door once it hits him in the ass on the way out? Now, am I the only [...]

Hello, there Gasmii. I apologize for this being a little later than usual. I don’t really have a good excuse. I was enjoying melon balls on a rooftop bar for a friend’s birthday on Wednesday (which is usually my writing night). I’m sure you all understand. $5 drinks are important when one lives in a [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! It’s the halfway point of this season of “DWTS.” Last week, we lost Lisa and Gleb and no one was really surprised at all.  Sacrificial lamb. This week, we’re viewing Len’s side-by-side challenge. Our couples will have to dance while mirroring a couple of pros. It sounds kind of weird, but it actually [...]

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome to week four of “Dancing with the Stars.” Last week, Wynnona and Tony rightfully went home. I love Tony and Wynnona has an awesome personality, but they were really awful on the dance floor. Tony’s mullet really is the best metaphor for Wynonna’s “dancing.” This week is one of my favorite themes. [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! Since there isn’t a whole lot to say in the minicaps for this show, I’m going to make things interesting. This week, I’m writing this in haiku form…because haiku entertain me. Last week Wynonna Got voted off of the showPoor Tony is out   This week our dancersDance routines based on the bestYears in all [...]

Hello there, Gasmii! Welcome to week three of “Dancing With the Stars.” It’s prom night! I may or may not have stolen the title of this recap from the episode of “Boy Meets World” where Cory and Topanga contemplate losing their virginity at the prom. Also, this may or may not be my own prom [...]

Oh, Gasmii, where to begin with this episode? It’s as if the producers knew that I was already bored with this season and said, “Let’s give PopePhilly something to really make fun of! We’ll call it prom night!” And then, the heavens opened up, the Lord of the Dance looked down on me, smiled, and [...]

Howdy, Gasmii! It’s week two of “Dancing With the Stars.” Since there was no elimination last week, this is our first real week of competition. I say we get right into it! First up, it’s Ingo and Kym dancing a quickstep. During rehearsal, Kym advises Ingo to dance like he’s holding a penny in his [...]

Hello there, Gasmii! It’s week two of “Dancing With the Stars.” As I’m sure you remember, there was no elimination last week, so everyone is still here. Basically, last week was kind of pointless. Well, not completely pointless… We did get to look at Tristan. I will say, a lot of the performances this week were [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! It’s Season 16 of “Dancing With the Stars.” We’ve got a whole new list of has-beens, D-listers, and reality “stars” to entertain us with their best efforts at dancing! Let’s just get right into it. First up, it’s Kellie Pickler (of “American Idol” fame) and Derek. They’ll be dancing a cha-cha. Kellie really [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! It’s PopePhilly breaking TVgasm tradition. That’s right! I’m recapping a second season of “Dancing With the Stars.” We’ve got our usual cast of D-listers, has-beens, and people who are on ABC’s payroll anyway. I have some high hopes for this season. This is mainly because of Andy Dick. Yeah, he’s kind of annoying, but [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! First of all, a big THANK YOU to Dashley for covering my ass (again) on this week’s minicap. It’s been a busy week at my job an I was working 12 hour days at the beginning of the week. Anyway, Dashley stepped in a rocked it out like the boss she is and [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! We’re almost done with “The Bachelor.” Before we can find out who Sean will propose to, date for a little while, and then ultimately break up with, we have to sit down with all the women (minus Catherine and Lindsay) and Sean to find out what we didn’t see on the show. Well, [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! It’s the penultimate episode of “The Bachelor.” Next week, we will know which of the remaining ladies Sean proposes to – Catherine or Lindsay. First, we have to listen to (dramatic pause) “The Women Tell All.” And we’ll find out if Tierra has gained control of her eyebrows! I’ll be 100% honest, I [...]

สวัสดี, Gasmii. Google tells me that’s how you say “hello” in Thai. I hope that’s right and I haven’t offended anyone who is Thai or speaks Thai. If you haven’t already guessed, Sean and the remaining three ladies (AshLee, Lindsay, and Catherine) are in Thailand! On behalf of the United States, I would like to [...]

Howdy, Gasmii! “The Bachelor” is almost over. Thank God!  Maybe these bugs are poisonous.  It’s time for the Fantasy Suites! Sean makes it clear (well, after the first one), that there will be no sex in the Fantasy Suites – he just wants to talk to the women all night. The rose ceremony is the [...]

Guten Tag, Gasmii! Previously, on “The Bachelor,” Tierra went home. That’s all you need to know. And there was much rejoicing. It’s time for Sean to go on the hometown dates. He will be spending time with the families of AshLee, Catherine, Lindsay, and Des. The previews hint at lots of drama (especially from Des), [...]

Howdy, Gasmii! This was definitely one of the more interesting episodes of this season. However, it doesn’t say much when it’s the most interesting episodes of what is probably the most boring season of “The Bachelor.” *Yawn.* It’s time for the hometown dates! AshLee, Lindsay, Catherine, and Desiree will be taking Sean to meet their [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! It’s episode 7 of “The Bachelor.” Sean and his harem are leaving the cold of Montana and Canada to enjoy the sun in St. Croix! Sean “broke the rules again” by actually flying with the ladies. I’m sure it wasn’t so much breaking the rules as Sean saying, “Hey, can I fly with [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! Welcome to yet another episode of “The Bachelor.” It seems like this season is going by very quickly. We’re down to the top six and two more will be going home tonight. I can’t believe next week will be the hometown dates already. It feels like this whole thing just started. Here’s a [...]

OK, Gasmii. Here we go. It’s four hours of “The Bachelor.” I’m putting on my game face, I’ve got wine ready for the drinking game (we’re going all out – drinking for every “Bachelor” cliche!), and I’m ready to write. Let’s do this. Who wants to buy this for me? *Before we start,  I don’t know [...]

Con: There are four damn hours of “The Bachelor” this week.Pro: Living Social sent me an offer for a bottle of vodka and a bottle of single malt scotch just in time! Here’s some free advertising for helping me through this week.  The formula is a little shaken up this week. We’ve got our one-on-one [...]

Hi, Gasmii! PopePhilly here with another round of “American Idol” auditions. I’ll be honest, I didn’t realize this show was even still on. I think I always knew in the back of my mind, but decided to just ignore it. In fact, I’m not even going to pretend I know anything about pop music. Hell, [...]

Hey there, Gasmii! PopePhilly back for this week’s episode of “The Bachelor.” Last week, we saw Kacie get permanently placed in the friendzone after she inserted herself into some drama that had absolutely nothing to do with her. Also, we saw the departure of two ladies that I’ve already forgotten and it’s likely Sean has as well. [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! First off, I want to say a special thank you Dashley for covering for me last week with a HI-larious recap. I was down and out with the flu for most of last week. It came at such an awesome time. It came just as I was getting over a slight cold. There [...]

Well, it’s finally the episode where we see Tierra fall down the stairs. It was the most disappointing moment on any reality show ever.  Why can’t you have a concussion? This episode follows the same formula they all do: one solo date, one group date, and then another solo date. It really was the most uneventful [...]

Ah, the second episode of “The Bachelor.” This is where things start to get interesting. Lets be honest, the first episode of this show is never anything super interesting. We get merely a few minutes with each of the girls. I wonder if Sean even knows all of their names yet. Who are you again? [...]

Hello, Gasmii! It’s episode two of the Bachelor. It’s time for the real drama and cat fights to start. Personally, I can’t wait! Brings a new meaning to the phrase “man-eater.” This episode, on the first solo date of the season, we learn that Sarah has only one arm! I’m serious guys! Did you know [...]

Greetings, Gasmii! Welcome to the train wreck that started it all. That’s right, I’m talking about “The Bachelor.” This is the show we can all thank (blame) for every trashy dating show on television. Let’s get right to it, shall we? It spreads like herpes. The disembodied voice of Chris Harrison introduces us to Sean. [...]

Come one, come all to the endless circus that is “The Bachelor!” Greetings, Gasmii! PopePhilly here. I’ll be your guide through this season, which promises to be as much of a train wreck as the past 16. It’s the first night, so this is where we separate the women who want to find fame fall [...]

…who’s the best dancer (or at least has the most loyal voters) of them all? Greetings, Gasmii! Here we are at last. It’s the end of “Dancing With the Stars All-Stars.” It’s been an interesting ride. We saw champions fall. We saw underdogs come out on top. We saw Bristol Palin squeeze a little bit [...]
