"So, as you guys know, I&amp;#x27;ve become the resident Dancing with the Stars aficionado here at Obsessed. I&amp;#x27;ve been watching each week and breaking down all the dances and all the drama . . . which, I have to say, seemed to be lacking this season--until now.Okay, so here&amp;#x27;s the deal. On last night&amp;#x27;s DWTS, each contestant had to dance about the most memorable year of their life. The show could have been renamed Sobbing with the Stars because everyone talked about such personal and devastating life experiences (Katherine Jenkins lost her dad to lung cancer, Sherri Shepherd&amp;#x27;s son was born sick and premature . . . you get the idea). Until Jaleel White hit the stage. He danced in honor of the year his nerdy Family Matters&amp;#x27; character Steve Urkel transformed into suave alter ego Stefan Urkel. I didn&amp;#x27;t think much of it because it was a nice, light reprieve from all the heaviness the other dancers were bringing to the table. I grew up with Steve and Stefan Urkel so it was fun to hear Jaleel talk about that time in his life. But here&amp;#x27;s where things got weird. After Jaleel and his partner Kym Johnson left the dance floor and went to chat with Brooke Burke--Jaleel lost it. The waterworks started pouring out of him and he said it was because he just loved entertaining people so much. Maybe in the back of my head I thought this reaction was a tad, well, weird. But I can only imagine how the physical demands of prepping for the live show can just get to you . . . and so I just thought Jaleel was tired and found it to be sweet. Until I read usmagazine.com this morning and those tears started to make a whole lot more sense. Here&amp;#x27;s what they&amp;#x27;re reporting went down. Apparently on Friday, Jaleel flipped out on Kym during rehearsal when she stepped on his foot. She said &amp;quot;ouch&amp;quot; and Jaleel apparently got in her face and told her she was &amp;quot;acting like a baby&amp;quot; and called her an &amp;quot;idiot&amp;quot; too. So, Kym understandably left the studio in tears while Jaleel started yelling at producers that they put him with a &amp;quot;stupid partner.&amp;quot; Jaleel&amp;#x27;s fellow competitor Donald Driver and pro dancer Mark Ballas both tried to step in and calm him down . . . and supposedly things got so heated with Mark that Jaleel yelled at him, &amp;quot;You remind me of that annoying sitcom neighbor who gets into everyone&amp;#x27;s business!&amp;quot; Uh, I don&amp;#x27;t know if there&amp;#x27;s a word to describe that scene because overreacting seems too nice. Yikes. The thing is, Jaleel and Kym did great last night. They scored a 25 out of 30 and the judges (especially Carrie Ann Inaba) loved them. Jaleel and Kym looked happy, relaxed and in synch. My feeling is they DID have some sort of huge, over the top, embarrassing fight on Friday. Maybe it went down the way usmagazine.com described--maybe it was a little less crazy--but I think whatever happened, Jaleel overreacted and felt bad. And I think that&amp;#x27;s why be broke down because yes, he does just wants to entertain people and I&amp;#x27;m sure the pressures of being on the show and being judged each week has to make you a little, well, out of touch with reality? A tad sleep deprived? A little on edge and grumpy? I don&amp;#x27;t want to make excuses and I hope that things didn&amp;#x27;t get as heated as usmagazine.com described. But, I can imagine that spats between the dancers and their partners are a lot more common that we may think and could make for one heck of a spin-off! Bickering with the Stars, anyone? Okay, so, what do you guys think--did Jaleel&amp;#x27;s breakdown after his dance last night seem odd? Do you believe these reports that he so viciously fought with his partner?
