It's called baby weight. It's quite difficult to get rid of. Since my baby was born (almost 15 months ago) I've only lost 10lbs. That fat the baby leaves behind is a PITA to get rid of. Leave the poor girl alone.
She was one of the better dancers out there among the non-pros, and that's a fact. Not saying much in week 1 with a non-ringer, but she was very watchable and, if I recall correctly, got a technique compliment from Len, I think (about some thing about her knee flexing, something even the pros have trouble with, he said).
This is one of the few shows that Mrs. Godot and I can watch together, btw.

Florence Henderson was pretty good, IMO. Much better than I expected she'd be.
The only guy who didn't embarrass himself was Kyle Massey.
