Wooing with the Stars?

[Juustin]

So on this week's episode of dancing with the stars, they deciding to fill some time with 2 specialists in various fields of woo: one who read auras, and one who read "numbers". I'm not too familiar with the numbers stuff, and I just happened to catch this segment when I came into the room where it was on.

Basically, the Numbers Woo read all the stars' numbers, and said one contestant would win because she had the same numbers as all the previous winners. The Aura Woo also picked who would win, because they had a victorious aura. As you could've guessed, they picked two different contestants.

The funniest part to me, was they predicted John Ratzenburger wouldn't do well, because his aura shows that his lower back problems would present a hurdle to his dancing.

When they returned from that taped segment, he mentioned something along the lines of "This is the first I've ever heard about my back problems, I better call my HMO." He then added (almost seeming annoyed at how stupid their aura comment was) "If I had a back problem, I wouldn't have joined a dancing competition."

I knew I liked Cliff.

Don't watch the show, but I caught it when I was visiting my mother. Ratzenburger wasn't the best dancer, but he certainly put on a good show. He won't last long, but you don't need to be an aura reader to know that.

I wonder who the woo-woos predicted? I'm certain they watched a few episodes before doing thier readings. Joey Fatone was a strong dancer. So was Tatiana Ali and, surprisingly, Heather Mills.

My personal leprechaun says that the winner will be one of these three. He also tells me to burn things.

Moral: Don't cold read if you're an idiot.

Alternate moral: Never cold read a celebrity; just google him.

From what they showed, they were going for the obvious. I think the numbers woo picked Laila Ali (I think that's her name), and the aura woo picked Ian Ziering, because his aura was purple (apparently Barney would make an amazing dancer).

I'm not too big on this show, but my wife tells me both were considered to have a good shot of winning.

They also showed a little clip of John Ratzenberger holding his lower back during dance rehearsals, which is obviously where they got "back problem" from. I'd imagine even the healtiest man at his age would have a sore back after dancing for 50 hours a week.
