Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective

The streak is over- DWTS 7! It’s week 7, or season 7 if you speak correctly, and that means “Does Katy Know These Celebrities?” returns, this time with added echo effect! More than usual, Katy either knows the people or makes good guesses. Or maybe it just feels that way and it's just as rough as usual. And the question is finally answered- how is Brooke Burke famous beyond being a future host of DWTS?

Also, happy birthday, Chris!

Heads up, golden girls and jive daddies! The finale of Dancing with the Stars’ sixth season is here, and Edyta is in a finale! That’s right, the lone figure on the DWTS Mt. Rushmore finally gets to do a freestyle, and she does what many a pro has done. Fortunately, she doesn’t speak the dreaded word (disco). But Chris will, and he and Katy will hash out many an argument they’ve had in finales past. They agree that the winner may be the greatest the show has seen, and they must express continued distress over Cristián’s 2008 injury. Cristián, what are you doing? Did you fall on your arm?

Okay. Chris knows this episode is unlistenable if you don’t know or care about Diana the Musical. Don’t blame him, Charles; tame him, Charles! Anyway, it’s the semi-finals of DWTS6 and it’s time to be surprised about how good it is? It’s good! Really! And it all might be thanks to either Edyta or Kristi. Who is the titular pretty, pretty girl? It’s a mystery!

Conjure pictures of Karina doing a cha-cha in a caftan or Kristi jumping in a jive, because this episode of JMP has that and more! Chris and Katy talk about arm injuries, the joy that is Jason Taylor, and the arrival of real sparkle in DanceCenter. Most importantly, the panthra queen has returned to her status of icon of the ballroom. Daddy, we love Edyta! And please, don’t leave any reviews this week.

Cristiàn, what are you doing? We still have a dance to learn.

Some equations from your favorite DWTS mathematicians:

Katy + Jonathan = True Love

Steve Gutenberg + Genuine Charm = America’s newest Sweetheart

Kristi + Dancing = 9s = World domination

Mario + A Beach - A Shirt = Yes

DWTS6 - Adam Carrolla = A better, happier JMP (but like the limit, this doesn't exist)

The most beautiful woman in the world is here to grace Dancing with the Stars with her presence. No, not Katy, although that is a good guess. Ladies and gentlemen, Kristi Yamaguchi is here, and Chris and Katy are primed to rhapsodize about her. They would like to stare at her for an hour if possible. There are other things that happened, too, like the fact that Chris loves a classy older woman or that Katy loves Jonathan Roberts (to the point where we had to edit out something that might have gone too far!). But Kristi is here, so join us, won’t you?

Your hoSTs are back for a brand new 2008 season of DWTS! It is season six, and just like the previous one, the men are here to disappoint with their premiere. When only two dances impress Chris and Katy, you know it’s off to a good start. Luckily, there’s a very nice man who is hot and plays football to win them over, and another Mario with Karina (even if Katy is ready to ask for a Sophie’s Choice about him). And prepare yourself for a one time only appearance from a new cat that might make Carver Clay jealous!

New year, new us, new cast, same shenanigans! “Does Katy Know These Celebrities?” finally returns, as Katy and Chris are about to dive into Dancing with the Stars’ sixth season. As usual, Katy muddles her way through the top-tier stars of 2008, and she’s as accurate as ever. Meanwhile, Chris tests the limits of how many times he can say the word “alright”. Not that we would encourage games of this sort, but perhaps if you wanted to drink something every time you hear that word…. And as always, plenty of research was done ahead of time, and no revelations about Disney TV movies or violent crimes were made during recording!

Have you come to this place for magic? Somehow does heartbreak feel good in a place like this? Do stories feel perfect and powerful here? Well, then this is the place for you to drop the mirrorball for 2022, because Chris, Katy, and Megan are here to retrospect themselves! The full JMP-QSR fam has gathered to celebrate the pod’s birthday and to ring in the new year. They share some of their favorite moments, reminisce about the fun they've had, and even get to hear back some old memories. Did you know that clip shows seem easy to make but take much longer to produce than you would expect? Well, now a certain editor knows!
