On to the lower-budgeted East Coast version of DanceCenter. It's SuperCam! How the hell did I miss Cameron Mathison running around Midtown in sequins and a cape? I truly disappoint myself sometimes. The segment was of course super cheesy at times, but thanks to a healthy dose of TomBergeronfoolery in which our dapper host popped up on the iBook that Cameron conveniently keeps at his All My Children makeup station, SuperCam was probably the highlight of the results show. I wish they'd applied a ''floating head'' effect to Tom — he would have been a dead ringer for Jambi the Genie from Pee-wee's Playhouse. I want a Tombi on my desk, too, damn it! I also want that woman who busted a move on the street with Cameron to become at least D-list famous so that she's eligible for season 7.
As for the Cirque du Soleil aerial act, well, I guess it was slightly related to dance. (Maybe next week we'll get Disney on Ice!) At least from now on, when I walk by the Trump Plaza in New York, I'll automatically envision tiny acrobats writhing within the giant metal globe, instead of nothing (or David Blaine). So that's good. That one woman who kept catapulting through the air as if diving into a very forgiving 20-foot pool instead of some dude's arms was amazing. Where the hell was her trampoline?
Random: I'm digging the red-hot, slowly spinning disco-ball orbs behind the contestants for this season's confessionals. Did anyone else notice that one of the red planets briefly transformed into the glitter-ball trophy and then back into a planet while Mario was speaking? This was a way better illusion than any of Penn's mid-dance ones. I know who the graphics department is voting for!
What are your thoughts on week 2? Would anyone show up for Penn's parking lot performance? Should another woman have left instead of Monica? And which couples are best suited for next week's tangos and jives?
