dance overload

A new season of Dancing with the Stars started this week, and somehow, according to my DVR, there have already been THREE episodes this week but it's only WEDNESDAY. wtf. A bit overkill, no? How exactly do they expect people to keep up with this? Season 7's stars:

Cody Linley, some kid from Hannah Montana that I'm sure my niece knows
Celebrity Chef Rocco Dispirito, who is dancing with an injured dancer
Toni Braxton
Olympic Gold Medalist Maurice Greene
"Actress" Brooke Burke
Actor Ted McGinley - aka Jeff D'arcy from Married with Children
Lance Bass, the token boy band contestant of the season
Cloris Leachman (I know nothing about her)
Comedian Jeffrey Ross
Reality tv star Kim Kardashian
Soap actress Susan Lucci
Olympic Volleyball Gold Medalist Misty May-Treanor
Football player Warren Sapp

Lots of athletes. Two dances in the first week and two couples eliminated right off the bat. Whew!
