A bold and bedazzled contestant on 'Dance Your Ass Off' (Mon., 11PM ET on OXY) charmed his way onto the season 2 premiere of the dance/weight-loss competition show.

At first judge Lisa Ann Walter was bemused by Benjamin, a hefty guy who wore a shredded, cut-off and bedazzled shirt. But soon everyone was taken by his exuberant confidence.

"When the music comes on, I come on because I'll lose all this right here," he said, grabbing his gut and shaking it for the camera. The Dallas resident made it through to the final 25.

The other day I auditioned for a new reality show. I can't tell you the name of the show but I will tell you the premise.

It's a competition a la American Idol, except the talent in this competition is impersonation. You might say the producers aren't looking for real celebrities but instead are looking for "the next best thing."

Now when I first heard about the show, I assumed it was all about impressions. I couldn't have been more wrong.
