Dancing you say?

07/08/05

So Jersette mentions Dancing With the Stars and I figure this is a good time and place to pontificate on why I think this is a great show for Clay to do.

Now granted, choreography isn't exactly Clay's strong point. Some of those group numbers from AI2 were a bit, um, well let's just say I think there was a reason they kept him back and it wasn't because of his height. But we all know now that Clay was incredibly blessed. With rhythm. Jeez, people this isn't Jemock's blog. The boy can move! We've all seen that when he's up on stage, lost in the music.

So why stick him in a show that relies exclusively on choreographed intricate movements? Because this is the perfect vehicle for Clay to shine. Think about it. Clay was born to be on TV. Clay goes with TV like mac goes with cheese. Like Clay goes with Jerome and Nick and Mary and Fran and Raleigh and any public event. He's a natural for that medium. And also, what a great way for other people to find and fall in love with Clay: either the adorkable cute Clay or the feral hawt Clay, whichever he chooses to put on for the day. And he'd get to play both on that kind of show.

Plus the one competitor that really seemed to gain a large following on this season of DWTS was John O'Hurley (aka Mr. Pederman from Seinfeld) and he had a talent for self-deprecating humor and working his ass off to be the best he could be each week on the dancefloor. IOWs, he was a big ole ham. Sounds a bit like someone else we know.

I think Clay's competitive streak, which appears to be a mile wide and fifteen miles long, would kick into overdrive on a show like this. That would more than make up for any awkwardness he might have in moving those size 13s around the floor. Put him with a cute thing that can actually teach him the steps and how to move and some other "celebrities" he can compete against, like oh say, Jimmy Kimmel or Conan O'Brian or Simon Cowell and I bet he'll kick it into overdrive.

Plus he has that ace in the hole. He has us! Who can spam..er vote better than the Claynation! He'd be assured of getting into the Finals. Heck if Kelly and her awkward movements and plastic rack can win, I think we can sew this up for Clay.

So who is buying the Spandex for Clay?
