Don't miss Marshal's #DWTS recaps, like this from last week's episode: www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/20...

DWTS
Alec Baldwin looks miserable.
His devastation grows
when he looks to his right and realizes he has seven young children that he has to raise.
Hilaria already has to deal with that Crisco bucket of bitterness when she gets home, but on the plus side, the entire viewing audience hates her, too.
—Marshal Knight, recapping DWTS 34 on realityblurred.com
