Lesia is trying to convince her 11-year old son Dylan to take dancing lessons. Meredith says that she knows boys aren't interested in things like ballroom dancing and asks what Lesia tells him. She tells him that women love men who can dance. It's very attractive. He needs to start now so when he gets to high school he'll be all set. Meredith asks if this is working; Lesia replies, "Not at all."

Lesia is a technologist. Meredith asks if she has been a fan since the beginning. She has. She likes dancing - it's like exercise to music. She likes watching how the contestants grow over the weeks. They start out without any dancing skills and have to dance with a stranger but they learn from each other. Her favorite contestant has been Donnie Osmond. Meredith jokes that Lesia probably isn't thinking about his dancing when she watches him. Lesia's favorite judge is Bruno. She doesn't like it when the show is off because she has nothing to do.

Meredith says Tom is a wordsmith. Tom reads the question aloud and says Meredith may have oversold him. His gut tells him the answer is B but it's all he has to go on. He is torn between B and C.

I think I can eliminate A. I think she's the Spice who is married to David Beckham. Or is that C? I'm lost. I'll ask Tom.

Time for me to ATA.

Lesia is a technologist. Meredith asks if she has been a fan since the beginning. She has. She likes dancing - it's like exercise to music. She likes watching how the contestants grow over the weeks. They start out without any dancing skills and have to dance with a stranger but they learn from each other. Her favorite contestant has been Donnie Osmond. Meredith jokes that Lesia probably isn't thinking about his dancing when she watches him. Lesia's favorite judge is Bruno. She doesn't like it when the show is off because she has nothing to do.

And rather than ask what a "technologist" does, we get more blather about DWTS.

The clip, of course, is only a time-filler since it has nothing to do with the actual question.

I thought sure she'd go with Tom's answer as one of her two choices - I wonder why she didn't?

[Appa23]

I do not know if it was misspelled on the show, but it should say pointe shoes.

(Thankfully, Lil' Bit is a year away from starting to dance en pointe. )

Considering the number of plagiarism and other scandals we've had in the last few years, I'm not so sure D isn't the correct answer....

Good luck with that. My then-seven year old son decided he wanted to take dance classes, which he did for a year. While he enjoyed it (and, of course, being the lone male in his class, all the routines focused on him), it wasn't lost on him that out of 200 students in the school, he was one of three boys in the entire program. He went on to other activities the following year.
