Shandi Who?

The second dancer eliminated on Dancing with the Stars is Miss USA 2004, Shandi Finnessey. Who’s that? Exactly, as the Tabasco Man says. Even though there were worst performances and lower scores, Shandi just doesn’t have the fan base to vote her to the next round.

I think Dancing with the Stars needs to drop this beauty pageant connection. The past two beauty queens, Finnessey and Shanna Moakler, have both been eliminated in Week 2. While they may have the look and some dancing talent, no one knows who they are. Clyde Drexler and Billy Ray Cyrus performed worse than Finnessey, but people still remember them and therefore vote for them.

If Dancing with the Stars wants to keep the beauty queen angle going, they’ll need to go after higher profile people like Vanessa Williams. Maybe former Miss Hawaii USA and Miss Universe, Brook Lee, or Miss America 2001, Angela Baraquio, might have a chance if the state of Hawaii backs these pageant winners.

How about going after television show hosts like Brooke Burns or Brooke Burke?

‘Nuff said, ’nuff Shandi.
