People Who Make Me Crazy: Episode 1 of a multi-part series


You know who makes me crazy!? Well, lots of people, frankly. But right near the top of that rather lengthy list is Samantha Harris--the single WORST host on television today. She's the side kick the ineffable--and nonstupid--DANCING WITH THE STARS host Tom Bergeron. Samantha Harris stands next to Tom, wearing fancy dresses, and clumsily throwing to the next bit of the show. That seems really unnecessary and old fashioned, but its not why I can't stand her. What makes me nuts is when she interviews the dancers waiting for their scores. Samantha Harris routinely offers stupid, incomprehensible, and clumsy commentary. How has this woman not lost her job already? I know she's cute (good heaven's she has great arms!) but come on. My boxer dog could improvise better segue's than this gal.

Whenever Special K and I watch DANCING WITH THE STARS--which, who are we kidding, is every time its on--I insist on repeating every awful thing she says. Usually in a voice intended to emphasize her stupidity. This has recently led Special K to ask me to, "Back off."

What is this instinct to protect Samantha Harris from the Drummer's snark? Why is he running to her defense? Is Special K perchance mesmerized by her many wardrobe changes a night? Is it the arms? I am left to wonder.....

OMG, she irritates! Remember last season when she showed up sick and hacked all over the dancers while Tom declared her a real trooper? She didn't dare miss because a prop is less vapid.

Just watched the finale with my mom (and my dad and Sugar Daddy were unwilling fellow viewers) and had to read her your opinion. :)

Word Ver: Autstro--awesome name for a little German boy!

I hate her! She's extremely irritating and I often find it hard to watch that show just because of her.
