With women dressed in tacky lingerie, and men parading around like strippers you’ve hired for a bridal shower, DWTS is a weird idea of family entertainment. But it’s a ratings juggernaut, pulling in almost 20 million viewers each week. I tune in every once in awhile, and get to linger in yet another way that I feel alienated from mainstream culture. But Olympic gold medalist, Evan Lysacek, is the real deal. A disciplined athlete and graceful dancer, he makes it almost worth fast-forwarding through the abundance of crap. Or better still, catch up with him here.
