This online mag was never intended to be snarky or malicious but the amount of traffic to the site based on Marie Osmond's fainting spell was off the hook. YOU, yes you, asked for it! (quite honestly this train wreck is hard to resist.)
As usual, someone with little rhythm won Dancing with the Stars, but here is one for your viewing pleasure that really needs to be studied by a team of psychologists:
From Defamer.com: Self-Destructing with the Stars
Before you pass an unfavorable judgment on Marie Osmond's bizarre performance on Monday night's Dancing with the Stars finale, please remember that she's going through an extremely difficult stretch in her life right now... we really can't blame her for succumbing to to the enormous pressure of making the finals by engaging in an act of self-sabotage in donning that ill-considered baby doll costume and flailing limply through "Start Me Up."
Listening to her talk that night, she seemed loopy and exhausted, and I know some of the pros were sick and injured. It was the same way near the end of So You think You Can Dance, with many of the dancers having serious injuries and talking like sleep-deprived froot loops.
I think these many-week competition shows push dancers to throw sane training schedules out the window. By the end everyone runs themselves into the ground. Some physically, and some by way of seeming mental breakdowns.
