Grits n’ Whiskey

Here are the latest videos from Chuck & Julianne. Cross your fingers they make it through tonight’s double elimination on Dancing With The Stars.

Chuck and Julianne were adorable last night doing the Lindy Hop on DWTS. They looked like 1950’s soda shop workers.

They didn’t get the best scores from the judges, but Chuck is definitely getting better. A far cry from his terrified first dance.

We can’t get enough of Chuck and Julianne’s DWTS videos on CMT. They’re so candid and fun. Check out the latest video.

Deep sigh….. thank goodness they didn’t get the boot. We think they’ll be around for a while. Chuck is turning out to be a pretty darn good dancer.

We were most concerned for Ty Murray, he is our surprise favorite. Jewel is one lucky gal.

Not sure how we missed this Chuck and Julianne video. It was from before DWTS on Monday night. They are just too adorable. Can’t get enough of them.

We hate that Jewel was unable to perform on DWTS this season, however, we are absolutly in LOVE with her husband Ty Murray. He strikes us as such a good country boy trying his hardest to be good at dancing, and he’s proving to have quite the good moves.  He gave a very good performance last night and even stayed calm when partner Chelsea Hightower slipped on the floor. We hope he sticks around for a while!

Check out his moves below. Who is your favorite couple so far?

We cannot get enough of Chuck and Julianne. They really turned it on this week and looked so great on the dance floor. They rocked the foxtrot and got a score of 23! They are so much fun to watch.

The practiced back stage at their concerts during this past week, but it totally paid off. Chuck even chatted with his fans about DWTS which he was performing at Mohegan Sun.

OK, we still love Chuck and Julianne, but Ty Murray won our heart tonight. He’s so adorable, Jewel is such a lucky gal.

Who were your favorites from tonights show?

So the first episode of of Dancing With The Stars has come and gone and we were throughly entertained.

Some of our favorites moments/quotes from the evening:

•Shawn Johnson took the honors of having a lil miss-step walking down the stairs, but it’s OK, she had a gold medal.

•Spray tan

•’I'm dedicating my first dnce to all my ladies in federal prison’ - Lil Kim

•The terrified look on Chuck Wick’s face the entire time he was performing. We couldn’t help be feel for him.

•The thoughts on Jewels mind while her replacement, Holly Madison was performing ‘I’m so much better then her, she should go back to the mansion’

•Spray tan

•’I am dedicating my hosting tonight to everyone at Rikers Island’ - Host Tom Bergeron’ reaction to Lil Kim’s dedication.

•Steve Wozniak… just everything about him.

•Melissa Rycroft having one of the best performances of the night with only 48 hours to rehearse.

•Steve-o looked like a robot on the dance floor, but he definitely needs to stick around for a few episodes, he’s going to be entertaining.

•Ty Murray is our new favorite cowboy. As awkward as he look, he was definitely trying hard and looked super cute doing. Jewel is a lucky girl, she should be very proud of her man.

•Spray tan - seriously? why did everyone look orange?

What was your favorite moment of the night?

The big night!

Well, I’m in LA- getting moved into the apartment the show gave us to live in while we are here for the show.  It’s a nice place, and I will spend the day buying supplies to get us set up here- laundry detergent and groceries and stuff. It was strange leaving Texas, not knowing if we would be in LA for only 2 weeks, or 2 months- it all depends on how far Ty makes it on the show! I hope he makes it to the end, for 2 reasons- because I want to see him do well, first of all. He has been working so hard and I’m so proud of him! Of all the contestants, I think he is the most outside his comfort zone. For a quiet cowboy to do such an outgoing, public and “metro” thing is amazing! A lot of his fellow cowboy friends are coming in to support him, so look for cowboy hats in the audience!
