Dancing with the Stars Week 3 Filed under ( Dancing with the Stars, Joey Fatone, Maksim Chmerkovskiy )

I love me some Dancing with the Stars. This is a show whose novelty factor has still not worn off. I mean, a one-legged woman? And Cliffy? On the same show? How do people not watch?

As I look forward to this week's episodes, I thought we should reminisce a little about last week's show. What do you think of Joey Fatone's performances? My favorite thing about him is that he obviously doesn't take the show seriously, but he sorta does take it seriously. He wears silly outfits with his name or initials on them and makes goofy faces, but boy can dance. I have to say I loved the Anakin Skywalker mini braid and can't wait to see what they'll come up with this week.

And is it just me or did Maksim become irresistible some time between last season and this season? He's definitely got new hair and teeth. Maybe that's all it took, but he is looking good. Real good.

Here are some highlights from last week's show:
