Mr Rodney
Hide and Krystal - their dance of love didn't impress the
judges but thanks to the public Mr Hide will fight another
day
******
Last
week the Prime Minister pointed out that she didn't have
time in her busy schedule to sit down and watch TVNZ's
Dancing With the Stars – after Scoop paid a visit to the
magical Avalon studios we consider the PM should make the
time.
The first sight to greet Scoop in the Avalon
foyer was ACT leader Rodney Hide chatting on a cellphone
with a slashed to the waist sparkly black shirt. Later on
Scoop had the pleasure of seeing former WINZ boss Christine
Rankin involved in a slow dance of love wearing the sort of
costume that would probably have lead to a heart attack for
her former boss Mark Prebble.

This sort of
behaviour from a former top public servant may be the stuff
of State Service Commissioner Mark Prebble's nightmares -
sadly for Christine Rankin a slow grinding rumba was not to
the public's taste
either

Sadly
the split skirts of Christine Rankin were not enough to save
her from being the first celebrity to be eliminated from the
nation's premier ballroom dancing television light
entertainment extravaganza.
Though Rodney Hide's dance
of love (the Rumba) was easily the worst effort from all the
celebrities – the battling Epsom MP raw unbridled macho
charisma seemed to have struck a cord with the text voters
and he remains to fight another day with his orange tinged
dance partner Krystal.
For Scoop's money by far the
best of the celebrities was Danyon Loader - however the
teen pulling power of David Wikaira-Paul should see him and
Tim Shadbolt's former dance partner, the lovely Rebecca,
make it to the final - possibly .
