Another TWOP-er here, although I lurked more there, because half the time I posted in the DWTS forum I got an edit or a prissy reprimand from Lockley for some imagined boards-on-boards infraction, and frankly I'd had enough. It's nice to have moderated forums, but sometimes I think mods can get a bit heavy-handed. I hope that's not the case here.
Anyway, after my blatant boards-on-boards comment, about the Switch:
I voted to see NeNe with Derek, just because I think Derek's head would explode if he had someone who's that tall and who really can't dance well.
Then I voted to see James with Whitney, because neither one of them floats my boat, so it would combine two boring people into just one couple (and one dance) instead of two. Much more efficient use of my time.
I don't mind the whole idea of the Switch. After all, fans have often said "I'd like to see X Celebrity with Y Pro, because her current pro isn't a creative-enough-choreographer / nice-enough-instructor to showcase her good qualities." Weren't people saying this with Chynna Phillips and Tony, and with Hope Solo and Maks? Now we can see if our instincts were correct, or if we were all just smoking crack.
