Title: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on September 13, 2006, 10:58:54 AM
I really enjoyed this show the last time around, and I think it's going to be good again this time, too.

I thought Mario was very good;  probably the best.  The way he talked about not being able to focus, I was surprised he did as well as he did.  I was so glad and relieved that Emmitt Smith did so well.  He got great responses from the judges.  Emmitt Smith is such a good person and what a fine football player he was for the Dallas Cowboys.  Of course, he's known for his fancy footwork and getting that ball across the goal line!!

I really enjoyed last night's show!  I was impressed with Mario, but moreso by Emmitt Smith.  I wasn't sure how he would do, but I was so excited that he did so well.

As for the results tonight, I guess I wasn't too suprised that Shanna and Tucker were in the bottom 3, but Willa did surprise me.  The good thing is that Tucker went home.  I know he did the best he could, but he did have the least rhythm...at least IMO!!!

Wouldnt it be awesome if Clay was a guest singer on D.W.T.S   :shappy :shappy  Barry was on there when he had a new cd out.... Do you think it's possible Clay could be on there?   :bouncy :bouncy

I love Mario..dimples and all... and I also like Emmet...  I have to watch my tape because I missed Joey Lawrence...

I did watch most of this show.  I am glad Emmitt is still doing well.

I'm surprised Jerry Springer is still there and I think Jerry Springer is surprised, too.  It's too bad when it becomes a popularity contest and not votes for the best dancers.

I agree with you, but at the beginning, I think people vote for those they are familiar with.  Several of the couples seem to be at about the same level skill wise right now, so I guess it is easy to vote for people you have liked for one reason or another.

The dancing improves as the show goes on.  That is when I think people should vote for the best dancers.

I saw Geoge Lopez in the audience and something clicked - Lopez Mario - Lopez George. The same dark good looks, the same dimples! Is George Mario's father or older brother? Never realised the connection before.

I don't think so...Jennifer Lopez isn't related, either. Lopez happens to be a very common Hispanic last name. George Lopez was probably there because his show is with ABC.

My mother is away on vacation and she made sure I would promise to tape this week's show. :lol

I like Emmett Smith.   I am so impressed by how such a large man is so light on his feet. :wink

I hope Jerry enjoys his waltz this week!--(then I want to see him go :lol)

How do you all feel about the teams that are breaking the rules??  I didn't even know they had rules.  :bigsmile

Do you think the teams will continue to overstep (hee! punny) the boundaries?


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on September 29, 2006, 03:57:36 PM
The Judges are scoring the dances just like ice skating - some moves are allowed, some are not - they are doing what they are supposed to do, but they do not take into account the fact that the extra moves by some teams just make the show better. If it was just a dance competition, the two teams adding things would have been gone - and they are the best two teams. The public makes up half of the score, though, so they should be safe, even if they continue to break the rules.

Having the judges scold the teams harshly for breaking the rules makes me uncomfortable.  I am not sure that I see the need for it, and wonder if it is all just for TV.  I was not really sure what Mario had done wrong.  I thought his performance was excellent and was confused at what was happening.  I knew that lifts were illegal..probably for safety reasons.  My question is this.  Aren't the professional members of the teams doing the choreography?  If so, don't they know the rules as to what is legal and what isn't?  Why are the celebrities getting chastised rather than the professionals?

It would certainly be worth the time to explain the rules to the viewing audience.  I realize that they did this on Wednesday, but I had no idea what was happening on Tuesday.

Do I think the rule breakers should win?  I think the best dancers should win.  In this case, the judges can score them low for breaking the rules, but if enough people take the time to call in and vote for them, then I think they should stay.  It is after all a TV show, and viewers should get to see the people they want to see.

DWTS has had some excitement with Sara Evans leaving for personal reasons.  I had a feeling the week she left, no one else would leave.

I have enjoyed this series and would like to see Emmitt in the Final Two with Mario.  I think Mario seems as good a dancer as the professional dancers.

If Jerry doesn't go this week something is wrong. He definitely can't dance, so people need to quit voting for him.

Well, I for one can wait to see Mario tonight :slick and yes, I agree Jerry has to say bye bye :wave

I just love Emmitt. :lol I am impressed that such a big guy seems so light on his feet.  And his partner is just great!

I think Mario is definitely one of the best dancers.  He seems to take it very seriously, too.

I find it interesting that there is only one woman left.  Hmmm......  Wonder what that says about this season.

Sharon,
I had no problem with sound here in Texas for DWTS.  So sorry you couldn't hear the show.  My husband watched for the first time and said he was impressed with everyone.   Oh, he missed Jerry Springer both times!! :lol

I'm still rooting for Emmitt!  I hope he makes it to the Finals.  He seems very popular with the audience each week.  Of course, Mario and Joey are both really good.

Prissy

Can you believe our area had a cable problem for the entire night an ABC :bang :bang Still watched, and I am so impressed with everyone last night, even Jerry :lol :lmao  I thought Emmitt and Cheryl were so very good, and Joey and Edyta also!!!  Mario and Karina are always great, I'm so glad to see the others step it up :bouncy :bouncy


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on October 25, 2006, 06:19:31 PM
I'm as of now cheering for Emmitt and Cheryl, they were so amazing as the judges choice to do their dance again tonight :clap :clap
Can someone answer for me please~~~ Cheryl danced with Drew Lachey to win last year correct??? :para


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on October 25, 2006, 06:56:15 PM
Sharon,
I think that is correct;  Emmitt's partner was part of the winning couple last time.

I'm rooting for Emmitt, too.  I think Mario has more dancing in his background, and I feel like this is really Emmitt's first experience with ballroom dancing.   Emmitt is doing so well and brings to the dance floor the determination and skill he showed on the football field.

Emmitt is a really fine person, too.  There was a teacher dying of cancer in our area years ago.  She continued to teach as long as she could.  One of her wishes was to meet Emmitt Smith.  So, one day, Emmitt showed up at her classroom and just made her day.   Already a millionaire and a successful Dallas Cowboy player, Emmitt finished his college degree because it was something his mother always wanted. He's just one of the "good guys." :bigsmile

Hugs,
Prissy

Pepe,

I really liked what you wrote about DWTS in the OCD thread and hope you don't mind if I post it here, too.

GOOD MORNING!

Watched DWTS and cried a little when Jerry choked up and was starting to cry.  If anyone ever wants someone to cry with then come to my house, I will cry with anyone.  I look at those dancers bodies and am in awe.  No fat rolls on the back or waist, I should have been taking dancing lessons all my life.  Seeing that Joey has taken some dancing lessons when he was young I am hoping Emmett wins as he really has accomplished the most in my eyes.  I love the guy!  For a football player to accomplish this is amazing to me.  It is a very entertaining show and will be sorry when it is thru.

Post by: Tessie on October 27, 2006, 09:36:03 AM
Jerry Springer did a great job, IMO.  Even though he knew he wasn't the best dancer, he tried hard and put on some entertaing performances.  It was time for him to leave though.  I would have hated to see a very good dancer let go before him.



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 01, 2006, 06:36:33 PM
It's Mario, Joey, and Emmitt in the Final Three.

Monique has done well and should be proud.  Of course, I am an Emmitt fan and glad he is still in the running.  Not knowing how many votes each one is getting, it could be anyone's win at this point.

I'm an Emmitt fan, too. :wink  I think his personality really shines.

I think Mario and Joey are both great dancers, tho.  At this point, I hate that one of them has to go next week. :lol

Wouldn't it have been great to have Clay singing "Without You"?  It just didn't fit the four opera singers.
 What great exposure that would  have been for Clay and his CD!!  I think Simon had some influence on Il Divo being on DWTS.

I am glad that the 3 best dancers are left.  It would really have been a shame to have Jerry Springer in the Final Three or Two. :eek

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 05, 2006, 09:49:42 AM
I don't think DWTS is rigged.  But we don't know what percentage of the judges' votes are added to the audience totals.  It could be 50%???  Who knows?  Unlike American Idol where the judges just give their opinion and no number totals and the audience has all the power.

Actually, I believe the number of votes by the audience is limited on DWTS and that their method of scoring might be better than American Idol.

Just my opinion,
Prissy

Post by: Prissy on November 08, 2006, 08:46:54 AM
Hello!

I will really be happy with whatever decision is made because the three best dancers are in the Finals.  I was a fan of Emmitt's from the beginning and so hoped he would do well not having a dancing background, and known mainly for his fancy footwork on the football field.  He proved to be fantastic and to really work hard and enjoy learning the routines each week.  I think he has been an example of what you can do when you set your mind to it, and yes, it does take some talent, too.

I feel that Mario and Joey came into this contest with a lot more dancing in their backgrounds than Emmitt had, maybe even some professional dancing, too?? That is one of the reasons I would like to see Emmitt win.  He embodies what a contestant should be, in my opinion.

Also, I have noticed that the applause for Emmitt seems to go on and on and on.  He may very well be getting the majority of the audience votes and since all three come into tonight's Finals with a 3 way tie among the judges (59 points each), as I've said, it's anyone's chance to win.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the series and look forward to the next one.

Hugs,
Prissy

PS:  I did notice the cover of TV GUIDE with the three men and their partners had Mario and partner centered as if they were the winners. :wink


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: LuvMyClay on November 08, 2006, 09:09:34 AM
I thought it was strange that Mario went back to his high school, but Emmitt went to Nascar and Joey went to Disneyland.  Seems like there would be a much bigger audience to gather votes at Nascar or Disneyland, than a home high school. That was a poor choice of place to solicit votes. :bduh


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: CT loves Clay on November 08, 2006, 09:54:50 AM
I think Mario and Emmett will get votes no matter where they go.  Even though the other two couples went to Disney and Nascar, I think by now, people have their favorites.   They are all fantastic.   I just have a feeling Joey will be the one to go tonight, even though they all got the same scores last night.  Joey will be on tour still dancing with his partner, so I bet that makes him happy.   I know, we already have our favorites.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Tessie on November 08, 2006, 03:54:31 PM
I also think that Joey will be the one eliminated tonight. 

Although I think Emmit has done a great job this season, I do not think he is a better dancer than Mario.  If one watches the choreography, it is easy to see that Emmit's routines are quite simple and that Mario's are quite complex. 

I, personally, do not think that this should be a popularity contest.  I think the better dancer should win.  In my mind, at this stage of the competitons, that is Mario.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 08, 2006, 06:54:52 PM
If you haven't watched the show yet, don't read this post.









I was satisfied with the results.  I hate to see anyone go, but I am glad that Mario and Emmitt are in the Final Two.  That has been my desire from the beginning.   Much as I would love to see Emmitt win, I agree, Tessie, that Mario is the more talented dancer, and I think Emmitt would say so also.  However, I have been impressed so much with what Emmitt, a non-dancer and former football player, has accomplished on the dance floor. 
A win for Mario would probably be a real boost to his career.
A win for Emmitt would be nice, but Emmitt is in for the win because he is so competitive, I think, and not necessarily for how it will change his future.

But we must remember, second place in a contest isn't always bad!! :wink :wink :wink

I will miss this show when it ends next week. :cry

Hugs,
Prissy



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Tessie on November 09, 2006, 11:57:23 AM
Prissy,
In case you happen in, this is just a question.  I gather from what you have written, please correct me if I am wrong, that you think that Emmit has greatly improved his dancing over the season.  If that is correct, I truly agree with you.  My question is, do you also think that Mario has improved as well?

I guess I am asking because I am getting the feeling that people think Mario is just a natural dancer, but he has put a lot of time and effort into this contest too.  Is it fair to think that he, too, has made a great deal of improvement?  I know that you didn't say that you felt that he hadn't, I was just interested in your thinking.  Thanks.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 09, 2006, 01:13:46 PM
Tessie,

I am thinking back over this season of DWTS.  One thing I remember is that Mario said at the beginning he had trouble focusing.  I was really fearful that he would come out and forget his routines.  I had not heard of Mario before and did not know what to expect from him.  I was actually relieved when he was able to get through a dance routine without forgetting anything.
Little did I know how much natural talent he had . I think that Emmitt, Joey, Mario, and Monique and probably the others all improved as they went through the weeks of intensive practice and training. They listened to the judges and their prof. dancing partners and they just got better and better.

Mario was so good from the start, I cannot say that he has improved as much as Emmitt.  Emmitt had a further distance to go in improving, perhaps.

But think about American Idol with Clay.  Clay was excellent from the start.  He was a winner and really didn't need to improve;  he was already perfection, in my opinion.  I put Mario in that category.  Should he not win because he has always been excellent?  I think he should win because he is the best.  Emmitt is very good, but Mario is like Clay; he's got it all.

I am not being disloyal to Emmitt.  I am just so happy he made it as far as he did.  He deserves to be in the Final Two, but if the right thing happens, Mario should win.

That's a lot of rambling, but maybe I'm close to answering your question. :hugs


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: LuvMyClay on November 09, 2006, 01:29:52 PM
Prissy... I couldn't agree more.  When I compare Mario and Emmitt, IMO, Mario's technique is superior to Emmitt's.  I think Emmitt has come a long way, and I'm happy he made it to the finals, however , in my mind there is no comparison. In fact, Mario almost looks like a professional.  Since America supposedly votes, :para it will be interesting to see how things turn out.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Jan on November 09, 2006, 01:53:18 PM
I WILL REALLY BE DISAPPOINTED IF MARIO DOES NOT WIN.
I LIKE EMMIT BUT THERE IS NO COMPARISON, AS SOMEONE JUST SAID, "HIS ROUTINES ARE VERY SIMPLE". MARIO LOOKS LIKE A PRO. HOWEVER , THUS SAID. I THINK JOEY WAS A MUCH BETTER DANCER THAN EMMIT. I HATED TO SEE HIM GO.
aLL THE SPORTS FANS ARE VOTING FOR EMMIT. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF HE WON. AND THAT WOULD DISCOURAGE ME FROM WATCHING ANYMORE, AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE PROGRAM.     

I AM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO ANNOUNCE WHEN" SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" WILL BE ON AGAIN. I LOVED THAT PROGRAM, AND BENJIE!!!!!

This season I really did like "So You Think You Can Dance."  And, the tour was great!!!  Although I didn't start watching it from the beginning, I watched it long enough to see how really talented those kids are.

The thing about DWTS is, the bigger the fan base, the longer you stay in the contest.  Take Jerry Springer, :para for example, he stayed in longer than he should have, although I have to admit, I did enjoy watching him and what a great personality he is.   I'm not sure Mario has the fan base that Emmitt has, but I'm still hoping for a Mario victory.

Jan... love your avie!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on November 09, 2006, 03:23:50 PM
Wow! Lot's of great discussion here.  :clap

I have been rooting for Emmitt to make the finals all season.  And not because I think he is the best dancer.  What I love about Emmitt is that he makes it look sooooo fun and even a little effortless.  He is a big man who is light on his feet and graceful moving about. I absolutely adore his smile and personality.  Let me tell you why I think this is so important.  I have been dancing for years. :wink I have done some ballroom type stuff, too.  I have taken many lessons.  But I have only ever danced "couple" styles.  My husband dragged me kicking and screaming to my first class back in the 1980's.  :bigsmile  I didn't want to go because I had never done much dancing (but my hubby had lots of experience) and I was afraid I would be terrible at it. :wink I found out that dancing was fun, was good exercise, and that my hubby was always the best male dancer in the group. :sigh I gotta give Cheryl props because I know firsthand what having a talented partner can do for you. :lol  The first thing I learned was that it was all the other wives dragging their husbands (kicking and screaming) to dance class.  I discovered that most men don't willingly go to dance classes.  :lol  That's why I root for Emmitt.  I am hoping there are some men out there in TV land that will say, "If a macho, sporty guy like Emmitt can dance, then so can I."  And maybe the next dance class I attend, there will be more men actually interested.  :lmao

As a dancer, I can tell you that Mario is definitely the most talented this season.  He does have a "gift".  He has improved, too. :wink

I will cheer whoever wins and be sorry for whoever loses. :shrug


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Tessie on November 09, 2006, 03:35:40 PM
Deana,
I understand what you are saying and you make good points, but in my understanding of the competiton they are trying to pick the best dancer, and to me, that is Mario.

Just a question...does Emmit have to win for men to see that dancing is fun and that even football players can enjoy it? 

I don't think that Emmit should win because he is not the best dancer.  He may be a nice guy, be entertaining, have a nice smile, and have improved a great deal, but, the best dancer should be the winner.  IMO

Notice I said that I was rooting for Emmitt to make the finals. :wink

I can understand that Mario is considered the better dancer because of the complexity of the routines he chooses to do.  I really enjoy his dancing and I applaud him.  :clap  He has the advantage of having the perfect dancer's body and a real athletic grace.  I have been known to enjoy the way his butt looks in those tight pants, too.  :bigsmile

That being said, none of Emmitt and Cheryl's dances have been easy.  They have followed the rules of what each genre is truly supposed to be.  They actually "portray" their dances in the "pure" style.  This makes the dances seem simpler perhaps, but trust me there is nothing easy there.  I wish I could explain this better. :arg I have learned some really complex waltzes and some really "moving and graceful" waltzes.  When all was said and done, they were equally challenging to learn.  And the more stylistic, yet simpler one, ended up being my all time favorite. :shrug It is actually a very beautiful dance to watch. And when you pare a waltz down to grace and fluidity, your footwork had better be perfect to make it work. :wink

I still say--let the best man win!

Deanna,

I remember now from your birthday poem info that you enjoy ballroom dancing.  We need your input here often!

Like you, I have been rooting for Emmitt to make the FINALS.  And I came in an Emmitt fan before the contest even started.  If Emmitt had been really bad at dancing, I would not have continued to root for him.  I would have been very disappointed.   But Emmitt surprised us all.  And I think he is really a favorite of a lot of people.  Emmitt is the example of a very masculine man showing that dancing can be fun.  Like Deanna indicated, I have a feeling that a lot of men are being convinced by their wives to take ballroom dancing because of the Emmitt influence.

I'm happy with the Final Two.  It could go either way.  Mario may be technically the best dancer, but Emmitt may be the favorite dancer, and also very good!!

Notice I said that I was rooting for Emmitt to make the finals. :wink


No, I did not notice that and OK, I don't read well! LOL

I am content now that I see that you have noticed and appreciated certain aspects of Mario's physique.  Have you also noticed his arms by any chance?

Thanks for the articles Deanna.

Prissy...thank you too for sharing your thoughts yesterday.  It turned into a fun discussion.


Deanna....I get the feeling that you and I should be concentrating a bit more on the DANCE and not all of the things that tend to take our mind off of the steps.   LOL

Great discussions!  :clap :clap :clap I also agree that Mario really deserves to win, but I am so glad that Emmitt made the finals (I wish Mario was dancing with Cheryl, because I just love her!)  Sports fans are voting for Emmittt, but lots of kids (mine included) grew up watching Mario on "Saved By The Bell". My daughter is so glad to see him being successful again! I think he also has a huge following.

And I can't believe that I am going to miss the final this week!!!!!!  :bang

Thank goodness for this thread - at least I can see who won when I get back!

I am so looking forward to the show tomorrow night :clap :clap I believe Mario is the better dancer, but my heart is with Emmitt, and I think a lot of that has to do with Cheryl!!! I love her too Frankie, she was my fav female pro last year also :clap
Karina and Mario, are so handsome as a couple too, they are made for eachother, they've been dealt the right cards from the beginning, and the spark between them doesn't hurt either :wink
Cheryl has made Emmitt and Cheryl click I feel, she brings out the very best in him, and recognizes his strengths, and lets him have fun.

Hello!

Wow!  What a great final dance off!  Both couples did a great job and tied at 89 points each.  I had a hard time getting in my 5 on line votes, but I finally did.  I got my member name mixed up with my email address!  :bduh  I did vote for Emmitt.  I know Mario is a phenomenal dancer, but my heart is for Emmitt, and that's been since day one.  If Mario wins, that's fine;  if Emmitt wins, that's fine, too.

Now, I am trying to get in my  phone votes.  Don't know if that will happen, the lines are so busy.  But I will keep trying; and I know the lines are open for an hour and a half;  that's 10 pm here.

Of course, this is Dallas Cowboys territory around here; so each week the local news has had an Emmitt segment.  And the Fort Worth Star Telegram had a large picture of Emmitt and Cheryl on the front page!!  I think there is Emmitt fever here.  :bigsmile

Hugs,
Prissy

EDIT:  I kept trying on the phone and got 7 votes (on 2 lines) in for Emmitt!  :clap  Most were in the last 5 minutes!!

Wow!!  What a marvelous finale!!  :clap :clap

All the dancers did a great job!!

I thought Emmitt did a great job of proving he was more than just a winning personality.  He proved he is a great dancer, as well! Good for him!  :clap

I think that even Mario was able to "kick it up a notch".  Good for him!  :clap

I wouldn't want to hazard a guess who will win.  I think this is a close race.

Bravo to both men.  :hot2

Hello!

I was watching the end of GMA and they showed a clip of Mario dancing  with a partner when he was a teen.   He looked quite professional dancing and I think really has more experience dancing than he let on. 

But remember that Clay had a lot of experience singing, too, so I don't know if Mario's dancing experience should be held against him or not. 
I still lean toward Emmitt because he has come so far in this competition and has done an excellent job.

Both guys did an excellent job last night.  I loved Emmitt's last dance.  But, I do think Mario is the better dancer, and gave him ALL OF MY VOTES.  Weird thing happened... I was calling on two cell phones at the same time.  I got through on one of them, but the other kept telling me I've exceeded my time zone.  :bduh  I still had over fifteen minutes to vote.  As I said, using my other cell phone, I was able to vote.  Strange!!!

Post by: grammaof6 on November 15, 2006, 07:58:31 AM
You know Mario has been my favorite from the beginning. Not only is he darling with dimples as deep as Lake Michigan, but he's a great dancer. However last night I got turned off abit. Although his dancing was top notch, he acted like a love sick puppy. How many times did he fawn over Karina. I thought he acted very immature.

Now, I guess I'm a Emmitt fan. He has come such a long way. Perhaps not as good a dancer as Mario, but really, really good. As the judges mention often it's not just the dancing, but the entertainment, relating to the audience - bringing them in. Emmitt's quick feet, wonderful smile, and classy demeanor has impressed me. I also appreciate his devotion to his wife and kids. Flying from LA to TX every week just to see his family and spend time with them even tho it added more stress was very touching.

I had to leave and didn't get to see the last dance for each of them.  I wish I could have seen it, and I hope they show part of it at least tonight.  It was the freestyle, so that should have been the most interesting.  Everyone who is on this thread obviously likes DWTS, so have fun watching the finale tonight.

I agree.  I did not watch this show the entire season, just the last few weeks because of all of you.   But although Emmitt has a lot of charm, to me it was obvious Mario is the better dancer.

HHHhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm...reminds me of Ruben and Clay.  Clay is the better singer, of course, but Ruben got more votes.  So that' s the way it is.  And apparently, more people got through voting for Emmitt. 

I will have to watch this one all the way through next season.

I am very happy with the results.  Congratulations to Emmitt and Cheryl for an honor well earned.  :clap  Emmitt came in, a non dancer and former football player, and became a shining example of what can be accomplished when someone puts their heart and soul into a goal.  Special kudos to Cheryl Burke for being the fine dancer and teacher that she is.  Two times in a row she has been on the winning team!!

I have enjoyed all of the comments on the thread.  I look forward to the next Dancing with the Stars!!

I have something to add in this thread, that I haven't already added in the OCD today.

My husband- HUGE Cowboy Fan and wears PROUDLY, to this day, an Emmitt SMITH Jersey.did. NOT. VOTE. AT. ALL.

NONE of the GUYS I know voted. NONE that watch or follow Cowboys and Emmitt.

My husband was embarrassed and continually questioned WHY he would do THAT??

A man thing.

Well, he watched the last 2 Wednesday with me. He smiled a lot and laughed and really enjoyed the show but did NOT and would NOT vote.

So..I don't believe it really was ALL those football fans.

I am also a HUGE Cowboy fan and I only voted 2 weeks. last week and this. Not invested in the show..didn't care.

But Emmitt cared. he asked people to vote. He worked hard and wanted to win and had nothing but positive things to say...as like most of his football career.

I voted.

I couldn't be more happy with the outcome!!

Awesome!  I only caught the show a few times, but he was such fun to watch!! Mario was fantastic too; he does have some dance in his background which was very evident. They all worked hard, but Emmitt always looked like he was so into it, and having so much fun.  It's the same reason I enjoy Clay live; he always seems to enjoy it soooo much.

I hate I missed the big moment, but I'll bet it will be on YouTube by the morning. :wink

Both men did a wonderful job it was not painful to see who won or lost. I voted for the first time last night for Mario.Tonight while waiting for the result I realized how many many football fans there are and I knew Emmit would win.I still think the better dancer was Mario but as one of you mentioned earlier,Mario is so good there is no more room to improve. I thoroughly enjoyed this years Dancing more so than American Idol ecxept of course Clay's  year. the judges on the DWTS were as exciting and entertaining as the dancers and Tom Bergeron is a great EMCEE along with his partner (sorry I can't remember her name). Good nigth ladies, At least I did not cry over the result. Only for Clay this lady. :blush :blush :blush

Here's an article that mentioned a couple of things I really noticed, too:  :bigsmile

Quote
Samantha says Emmitt has inspired many football fans through his performances, and it’s been an emotional journey for the partnership of Emmitt & Cheryl. Cue retrospective. Cheryl thought she would have a lot of trouble teaching such a big guy to dance. She would have never thought he could dance as well as he has. Emmitt just wanted to show her he could do it and wanted to learn more than anything. They’ve become friends and are like brother and sister now. Cheryl thanks Emmitt for all the advice he gave her, and Emmitt thanks her for pushing him and believing in him. He says he loves her as Cheryl cries.

Yep, I confess to having leaky eyes when that happened.  :blush

Quote
Mario is very gracious but Karina looks less than excited. She says Mario is her true champion, and the best man for her on the competition. Mario thanks her for her hard work and dedication to him.
She looked "mad" to me.  :shrug

What a great season! I hate to see it end

EMMETT DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF IMPROVING THE WHOLE SHOW.  I WILL MISS IT UNTIL IT RETUNS.  IT SURE DOES MAKE ONE INSPIRED TO DANCE.

Mario was the best dancer.  He should have won.  Emmitt seems to be a wonderful person, very gracious so I don't feel bad that he won.  But if the voters would have voted for "the best dancer", Mario would have won.  Emmitt was probably the "most improved" dancer but he wasn't "the best".    Mario was #1 -- and should have won.   But, congratulations to Emmitt.

Post by: ClayHeart on November 16, 2006, 07:48:27 AM
I had to go to a meeting last night and will probably watch the tape tonight.  I know who won, of course.  Mario was the better dancer, and it appears his routines were more complicated than Emmitt's, and he seems to have more natural ability for dancing, and probably had some dance training in his past.  Emmitt definitely had made the most progress and you can tell he worked his butt off to improve as much as he did.  I was amazed at the progress he made over the weeks.  The judges mentioned more than once that it was technique and performance, and Emmitt was definitely entertaining.  I would have been happy with whoever won.  They both should be proud.

Smith's victory proves ‘Dancing's’ charm
Mario Lopez was a ringer, yet football player still bested him

COMMENTARY By Linda Holmes MSNBC contributor Updated: 10:49 a.m. ET Nov 16, 2006

The obvious way to look at Wednesday night’s finale of ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars” was as a showdown between football fans and “Saved By The Bell” fans. Who’s more devoted: people who watch games every Sunday afternoon, or people who watch bad comedy every Saturday morning? But in reality, the showdown between Mario Lopez and Emmitt Smith was nothing less than a battle for the show’s soul. Or, really, a battle for what would be the show’s soul if it had one. Emmitt’s victory hit the spot.

From the first week, it was obvious that Mario Lopez was a ringer. Even if you hadn’t seen him dance on shows like “Kids, Incorporated” and, yes, on “Saved By The Bell,” you would have known that this was not his first time on the dance floor, the way it was for a lot of the celebrities involved. Paired with the prickly Karina, Mario started to look like that kid in high-school theater who knows he’s going to get the lead and loves nothing more than making everyone else sit through his audition and doubt themselves. No amount of backstage dimple-flashing and trumped-up humility could ever quite wash away the strut. The kid thought it was in the bag.

Emmitt Smith, on the other hand, was exactly the kind of celebrity who can make this ridiculous show weirdly appealing. He wasn’t a clown, like Jerry Springer. He wasn’t an earnest failure, like Sara Evans. He had the rare combination of natural ability and a capacity and willingness to learn how to do something outside his comfort zone.

For all the talk about unscripted shows (this isn’t really “reality” in the “Survivor” sense) capitalizing on humiliating people, that isn’t really what “Dancing” is about when it’s fun. Well, okay, it was fun to see Tucker Carlson humiliated, but that’s because he’s Tucker Carlson, and he comes across like a bit of a windbag, and total ineptitude on the part of an unappealing person is entertaining.

Smith's victory proved show is still satisfyingly nutty
When the show works, it’s because watching someone become good at something they don’t know how to do is satisfying, and watching them discover and develop a natural talent they didn’t know they had is even better. It seems like a lot of credit to give such a fundamentally silly enterprise (“Next up: Jerry Springer performs the paso doble and smashes a prop guitar!”), but it’s quite true: part of the fun is all the learning. The most auspicious thing Emmitt Smith said in the first episode was that he was used to being coached, and it turned out to be true. Emmitt worked hard, and he didn’t complain (much), and sure enough, he kept getting better.

There were endless recaps of the season, in which we saw over and over that Mario nailed basically every dance he was given, only taking real hits when he hammed up dances like the quickstep and the tango and was clipped for breaking the rules. Emmitt, on the other hand, was the purest of underdogs. He started out surprisingly promising, took a stumble or two, kept working, and eventually got to be good.

Friends and family in interviews continued to feed the same dynamic. Emmitt’s friends — including fellow football players Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach — were just amazed to see Emmitt able to dance well. Mario’s friends, including “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria and “Showgirls” and fellow “Saved By The Bell” alum Elizabeth Berkeley, were amazed at Mario’s skill level. In fact, Berkeley thought Mario could make it to Broadway. Nobody was suggesting Emmitt was going to Broadway. They were only suggesting he would be by far the most awe-inspiring dancer in any room full of football players — and in most rooms full of people who weren’t born dancers.

When the two pairs talked about their affection for each other, it became even clearer that Emmitt needed to win. Mario and Karina were so busy being coy about their budding relationship that they barely said anything of substance, and Mario did nothing but flash that oddly blank grin as he talked about his affection for her. Emmitt and Cheryl, on the other hand, talked warmly about their bond. At 37, Emmitt is quite a bit older than 22-year-old two-time champion Cheryl, and he brought her to tears when he thanked her, simply and straightforwardly, for being such a good teacher and such a good friend. Who wouldn’t love that?

In the end, the audience was in control. The judges maneuvered themselves to a tie on Tuesday night, so it was all about the popular vote, and the popular vote crowned Emmitt and Cheryl. In all likelihood, nobody who voted was unaware that in a technical dance-off, Mario would beat Emmitt. Emmitt, however, did what the show asks of its celebrities. He started out not knowing what he was doing, and he learned. And sometimes he looked silly, and sometimes he fell down in practice, but he kept going. Strangely enough, that’s really what the audience is looking for. It’s a popularity contest, and Emmitt probably wouldn’t have won without a great deal of personal charm. But he also won because he had going for him the one thing that rescues this show from being completely stupid: he taught himself something difficult.

A few weeks ago, Emmitt said of his efforts on the show, “A real man tries to do something he thinks he cannot do.” In that sense, he got what he came for, and the show got a surprisingly satisfying ending. Besides, never bet against the football fans.

I watched the show!  :clap I think this will be a great season.  I like the idea of having 2 weeks of dancing before the first star is voted off.

I liked the speed skater, Apolo, for the men.

I liked the model, Paulina, for the woman.   

I think they both have great potential.  We will have to wait and see how wrong I am.   :lmao :lmao

I found myself charmed by Joey Fatone, John Ratzenburg and Leeza Gibbons.

I will admit that I find it hard to root for anybody who is paired with Cheryl, not because I don't like her, but because I think she has fans herself and its like... all I hear about is...

"Oh I love Cheryl"
"Oh I love watching Cheryl dance"

etc etc.

I guess I have a problem with someone potentially making it to the finals in the competition, not because of what they can do, but because of Cheryl's own fan base.  Does that make sense?  I mean, its not personal... I just think they need to cycle through the "teachers" more so we don't get "too" attached to one teacher every season.  Its kind of like the band on American Idol.  I think they need to be in the background so the singers can shine.  Just my opinion.

ETA:  Oh yeah and that Apollo guy is smokin hot!@!  Yumm...

Hello everyone,

I only watched most of the first hour, and then my hubby and I switched to 24.  I'll have to watch the other half from the tape.  Billy Ray Cyrus probably won't be around long.  He sure is cute, but I can't see him improving enough to survive.  I suppose I'm as curious as others to see how Heather does with her artificial leg.  Her hair style didn't seem to suit her, but she has to have some guts to dance these challenging dances on national TV.  Hope you all have a good day.

Well Misha, I am one who loves Cheryl, as you can see from my post above yours :bigsmile Hard not to like her, and Edyta has been there every season, and she doesn't seem to attract the same attention.
I loved Joey and Kym, she so deserved a good dancer after last year with Jerry :lol
Billy Ray Cyrus didn't look like he was even enjoying himself last night, doesn't even seem to care, and can't figure out why he wanted to do this :dunno unless the attitude changes, and the dancing of course  :eek  he won't be around long.
Heather Mills~~~  I don't like her, nothing can make me, she got nasty with an icon, and that's a no no IMHO. Glad they made it clear she shouldn't be getting sympathy votes, just judged on her dancing ability like everyone else :clap
Apolo Ohno, needs to lose the bandana, found it distracting, I really didn't care for him, but great pairing for him with the youngest ever female, whatever her name was????
No real clear cut favorites so far, but it will be fun!!!

Post by: Prissy on March 20, 2007, 02:19:04 PM
Hi!

I watched the show on tape but skimmed through a lot of the practice session parts.  I feel like I know some of the professional dancers now better than the "star" partners. 

Billy Ray Cyrus looked to me, also, as if he wasn't really trying.  I think he should be the first to go.  The older guy from Cheers actually did pretty well.  I don't have any clear cut favorites, but I do like the professional dancers, Cheryl and, I believe Mack, is his name;  very  :thud good looking dancer.  Did he have a pony tail last time?? :scratch

I'm not sure how I feel about Heather Mills.  I was worried that her leg would come off or she would fall! :eek

Should be an interesting season!

Hugs,
Prissy

Well see, I like Cheryl too.  Her dancing is awesome.  I'm not frustrated with that.  I'm frustrated with some of the ladies at work who seem to support Cheryl no matter who she's with.  That bothers me.  Ian shouldn't get votes JUST because he's with Cheryl.

I think we need to be careful not to vote for the professional dancers.... Thats my only point.

I'm not big into what's going on with Heather Mills in her divorce. In my opinion she did a great job. With an artificial limb, it certainly isn't as easy to know what her legs are going to do. I wouldn't give her a vote based on sympathy, but I do think she did better than some of the others.

Billy Ray was horrible.

John was great considering he only had 2 weeks to learn his routine. Next week we'll see how he does when he has the same amount of training time.

Joey was my favorite and not just because I am a huge *NSync fan. He worked it! Almost lost his mic pack and didn't miss a beat! :clap

Well Misha, I am one who loves Cheryl, as you can see from my post above yours :bigsmile Hard not to like her, and Edyta has been there every season, and she doesn't seem to attract the same attention.

Well see, I like Cheryl too.  Her dancing is awesome.  I'm not frustrated with that.  I'm frustrated with some of the ladies at work who seem to support Cheryl no matter who she's with.  That bothers me.  Ian shouldn't get votes JUST because he's with Cheryl.

I think we need to be careful not to vote for the professional dancers.... Thats my only point.

Agreed Misha, but they sure make some of the stars look very good, and I can see how it can happen.

Hello!

It's good to see everyone joining in with the DWTS tread.  I really enjoy this competition.  I used to watch AI and Survivor, but not so much anymore.  So, I'm glad to have a show that still holds my interest.  I have a time remembering the names, :scratch so I found a site that listed each celebrity and his/her partner. :bigsmile

The Stars

   Laila Ali
Maksim Chmerkovskiy

   Billy Ray Cyrus
Karina Smirnoff

   Clyde Drexler
Elena Grinenko

   Joey Fatone
Kym Johnson

X Shandi Finnessey
Brian Fortuna

X Leeza Gibbons
Tony Dovolani

   Heather Mills
Jonathan Roberts

   Apolo Anton Ohno
Julianne Hough

X Paulina Porizkova
Alec Mazo

   John Ratzenberger
Edyta Sliwinska

   Ian Ziering
Cheryl Burke




HERE IS INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING.  I DON'T KNOW IF THE PHONE NUMBERS WILL CHANGE EACH WEEK.

HOW IT WORKS:

During the live shows, judges will give a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges' scores alone do not decide a couple's fate.

Phone lines and online polls will open at the top of each Monday night performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites. Phone lines will stay open for approximately 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will remain open until noon (Eastern Time) on the day of the results show.*

The following night, in the Dancing with the Stars Results Show (premiering Tuesday, March 26 at 9/8c), the couple with the lowest combined score from the judges and the viewers will be eliminated from the competition.

The scoring is divided evenly between the judges and the viewers at home, ensuring unpredictable outcomes at the end of every show. When the final two couples remain, the ultimate dance-off will determine who wins the trophy.

*In Week 1, there is no Results Show the next day but online voting will close the day after the performance show - Tuesday March 20 - at noon ET.

PHONE NUMBERS:

Call the following numbers to cast a vote for your favorite couple (eleven votes permitted per phone line):

Ian and Cheryl      800-VOTE4-01
                                     800-868-3401

Paulina and Alec      800-VOTE4-02
                                     800-868-3402

Billy Ray and Karina  800-VOTE4-03
                                      800-868-3403

Leeza and Tony       800-VOTE4-04
                                      800-868-3404

Joey and Kym         800-VOTE4-05

                                      800-868-3406

John and Edyta       800-VOTE4-07
                                      800-868-3407

Shandi and Brian       800-VOTE4-08
                                      800-868-3408

Apolo and Julianne       800-VOTE4-11
                                      800-868-3411


FORMAT SUMMARY:

Lines open at the beginning of each show for viewers to vote for their favorite couples and stay open for 30 minutes after the end. The whole country can vote.
One couple will be knocked out of the competition each week, starting with week two.
The couple with the lowest overall score is knocked out of the competition.
Online voting remains open until noon (Eastern Time) on the day of the results show.

The scoring and format of the show is unique to the series and is not based on a standard dance championship.

The decision regarding which dances are to be performed by each couple each week rests with the Producers.



THE PROCEDURE FOR ELIMINATING COUPLES:

Each week every couple receives points from the judges and votes from the public. For every couple we work out the share they got of the points given by the judges on the night, and the share they got of the publics' votes on the night and we add these two shares together. The couple with the lowest combined total is eliminated from the show.

For example if couple A, B and C receive 38, 26 and 14 points from the judges, we calculate what share these points represent of the total awarded by the judges on the night. In this case the judges gave 78 points in total, and each couples' share of 78 points breaks down as follows: 38= 48.72% of 78, 26= 33.33% of 78, 14= 17.95% of 78. Let's suppose that when the public votes are tallied, each couple has the following shares: A= 20%, B=40%, C=40%. To determine who's eliminated we combine these two shares for the total:

Couple A: 20+48.72%= 68.72%
Couple B: 40+33.33%= 73.33%
Couple C: 40+17.95%= 57.95%

In this case, the bottom two couples would be A and C, and C would be eliminated.

I've watched each season with my mom and we like it.  The first season, when Kelly monacco beat the older guy who I think was on Sienfield, he just should have taken that loss as may be some one younger than him beat him at something, and not have have to do the rematch, which I think was ridiculuous because he just had to practice more on a dance routince that would last about 5 minutes on tv.  And the other seasons after haven't had rematches for the "right" winner that lost to the youth of just being good and practing at the same time and rate.  This season, there are three people that I'm going for, mainly because they're people that I've heard of and know more, and they are Billy Ray Cirus, Joey Fatone, and John Ratzenburger.  I kind of think that Heather Mills won't last long in the competetion, either because the veiwers don't vote for her or because of her divore to Paul McCartney. :smile :smile   :bigsmile :bigsmile   :wave :wave   :thud :thud   :pig :pig

Good Afternoon!

I watched my tape of DWTS this morning.  I thought everyone did really well.  Billy Ray Cyrus improved so much and seemed to actually be trying!! :wink

Based on two weeks my favorites are:

Laila and Maksim
Joey and Kym
Heather and Jonathan

The weakest seem to be:

Clyde and Elena
Shandi and Brian
Paulina and Alec
(Billy Ray and Karina)


The biggest surprise has been Heather Mills.  I think she was incredible in the Mambo considering her artificial limb!

Hugs,
Prissy

PS:  To my post at the top of this page, I have added information I found about voting.  I wish AI had a similar strategy.  :wink

I've really liked Joey Fatone, Apollo, and Laila.  They seem to really be doing well.  Though, my sentimental favorite is John Ratzenburger.  He just makes me smile.

Joey is just such a card.... he's so funny and yet, he's dancing pretty well...

Apollo is a hottie, but he's also doing a really great job and that quick step was great!

Laila is awesome too.  Her mambo was the best last night and her foxtrot last week was really good.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 03, 2007, 01:02:25 PM
Hi!

I guess my routine will be to watch my tape of DWTS on Tuesday mornings because of my orchestra practice on Monday evenings.  One good thing;  I can fast forward through the commercials! :bigsmile

I still like Lalia and Maksim.  They were chastised because of their choreography last night;  and I believe that is Maksim's fault.  He has to be aware of the rules for each dance. 

My favorites are still: 

Laila and Maksim
Joey and Kym
Heather and Jonathan
Also, Ian and Cheryl

The weakest seem to be:

Clyde and Elena
Shandi and Brian
Billy Ray and Karina

I really think Clyde and Elena should be the ones eliminated tonight.  We shall see!

Prissy

PS:  I am not voting yet;  just watching and enjoying the show.  I may vote later on in the competition.

Looks like not as many people are watching DWTS.  Not too much action during/after the show!!  I watched part and taped part, because we switched to "24", which is my husband's favorite show.  I hope I can watch to see who gets eliminated tonight.  Have a wonderful evening.

I'm still watching and I still really like Apollo.  :clap The judges seemed to be quite rough on him this week. :shrug

Everyone seems to really like Joey, but there is something there that I don't like.  I am still trying to figure out what it is.  It may be his posture and I noticed the judges did comment on it.  Heather has surprised me.  Good for her!! 

I liked Ian and Cheryl, but why didn't we see the "goof up"???  If I was suspicious, I would say that the "hiccup" with the camera was for a reason.  :slick


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 03, 2007, 08:24:10 PM
We had tornado warnings and watches all evening, so I only saw the beginning and the ending of DWTS because of the storm coverage.  No tornadoes touched down, so that was good.

I'm not sure that the worse dancer is leaving.  But maybe one who is not that well known. 

I think they did show what happened with Ian and Cheryl at the beginning of the show.  Just a little misstep;  not such a big deal, in my opinion.


I am not watching AI and I do not watch 24, so....DWTS is it for me.  I am a fan of Boston Legal and watch House, sometimes.

I agree Deanna.  I like Apollo.  I have not connected with Joey and his dancing at all. :dunno  I am not into the show as much this year as in the past but I hope it will grow on me.. My favorites are Ian, Apollo and Laila.

Post by: grammaof6 on April 04, 2007, 03:11:56 PM
I like Apollo and his partner too. They seen to have joy and energy that lights up the stage. Of course, they're young!  :lol However, I admire Apollo. This can't be easy for him. He's hot into training for the Olympics and has to run back and forth doing both. Speed skating isn't a wussy sport.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Misha on April 05, 2007, 10:39:30 AM
I do like Apollo too.  I do like Joey, but yeah, his hind end is ruining "the posture"... but he is fun to watch.  I like Laila for the ladies.  I thought Ian doing that thing on the stage with those "strippers" was an obvious ploy to get the sex appeal vote and it just turned me off.  Granted, my eyes appreciated what was shown, but I guess I just thought it was tasteless in a family style show.  And those of you who know me, know that I definitely get a kick out of sexy things....  it just wasn't the right forum for it.

John Ratzenburg still charms me.  He's still my sentimental favorite.

I'm proud of Heather for trying, but think she's starting to get preferential treatment from the judges for it and I don't like that.

The rest?  Eh.  Blah.  Clyde or Billy Ray could go next week and I'd be fine with it.  Or Leeza.



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS

Tonight it is on again.  Looking forward to seeing who has improve or hasn't.
I do like Apollo & Joey.

I saw a replay of the goof-up Ian was suppose to have  made couldn't figure it out again.

As some of you commented about Joey tuckig in his hine, I agree.  Maybe if he wore a more slimming outfit it would help, none the less he is a good dancer.

I was wondering what everyone has thought of the guest singers that have appeared on the show.

One day I would love to learn Ballroom dancing. But I have 2 left feet.  :bigsmile


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: ClayHeart on April 09, 2007, 01:03:52 PM
Hope everyone enjoys the show tonight.  I agree that Heather is getting preferential treatment.  I commend her courage for attempting ballroom dancing with a fake leg, and she is doing much better than I expected, but it still seems that she's not being held to the same standards, and that isn't really fair.  You never know what's going to happen, so it is still fun to watch.  Have a nice evening.

I agree with Judge Len's assessment of the dancers this year. Not spending enough time practicing and learning. So far tonight the only couple that's impressed me is Apolo Anton Ohno & his partner. They have sparkle, are young, energetic and exude freshness. It's obvious they're working hard. Must be tough with Ohno's demanding Olympic training. Good for them!

It sounds like Apollo is really doing well!

Here is a recap I found:

Deanna,

That link was a great recap.    I'm copying the rankiings here from the recap:

RANKING       STAR                SCORE   
1                  Joey                28   
2                  Apolo               26   
3                  Ian                  24   
4                  Heather            23   
5                  Lalia                 21   
5                  Billy Ray           21   
7                  Leeza               16   
7                  John                 16   
9                  Clyde                15   

I thought Apollo and Joey were the best last night.  I think it's time for Clyde to go home.

Lalia was my favorite after two weeks, but I think that Mak is still letting her down with their choreography. 

Prissy



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on April 10, 2007, 10:06:13 AM
Prissy, I agree Clyde's time has come, if that's effort, I wouldn't want to hire him :bigsmile, and I also agree with you that Maks is letting Laila down with the choreography also, he seems full of himself IMHO


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: ClayHeart on April 10, 2007, 11:26:23 AM
I agree that Laila's partner is letting her down.  She is a fierce competitor without a previous knowledge of dance.  He's the professional and I think she would meet every challenge he gave her to the best of her ability.  How could he have messed up so badly last week with the tango choreography.  She's not my favorite, but her partner isn't doing what he should.  I hope Clyde goes tonight.  I don't know how he's lasted this long.  As in all of these reality voting shows, popularity often gets more votes than who is actually the best.  Hope the best dancer does win this season!!

Debbie


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 10, 2007, 12:50:29 PM
Laila's partner Maks was one of my favorites of the professionals going into this competition, but he seems to be acting "silly" in the rehearsals.  Laila is ready to do whatever dance steps he challenges her with.  He needs to get his act together.  Maybe being a good dancer does not make you a good choreographer and they need to bring in extra help!

Clyde just seemed to walk around the floor last night;  and Leeza was so stiff, even I could see it.  What is great about this competition is when non-dancers discover they have a natural ability for dancing, like Emmitt Smith last year.  That was fun watching the football hero develop into a really great dancer.

Just my opinion, but I think Clyde will go, then John, then Leeza;  then I'm not sure!!  Billy Ray should probably be next, but it may become a popularity contest.  I really hope that Laila makes it into the top 3 or 4, in spite of Maks! :para


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 10, 2007, 11:32:06 PM
Wow!

I'm surprised Leeza left before Clyde.  I think she was better than Clyde, even though she wasn't a great dancer.

Why do women get voted off first?  Probably due to a very simple basic reason.  More women watch the show than men.  I know this because my man doesn't really like dancing, not to mention ballroom dancing and thinks its just a show for women to watch.  Now that is not to say that men do not watch it, but... I do believe more women watch the show.

And the reason the women are getting voted off?  Because we women like our male stars.  We can't look at Shandi, Paulina, Leeza, or even Laila and get all hot and bothered over them to stimulate multiple... votes.  It happens the same way on American Idol.  The men tend to last longer than the women.  We will blast the women from using their looks to get ahead, but we generally don't do the same with the men.  We don't mind that the "professionals" look great, because they are professionals... but seriously... we women only have ourselves to blame for the women getting voted off before the men.

Post by: geraldine on April 15, 2007, 06:38:06 AM
I think it is going to be between Joey and Apollo. 

It would be nice to see a woman win this season.  The men do seem to dominate. 

I do have to applaud  :clap each and everyone of the stars because I am sure they work hard with the dancing. 

I'm anxious to see how they do tomorrow night!

Deanna,

Thanks for the Recap link.  It was very complete and I felt like I "watched" the show.  I am so glad Laila and Maks had a better night!  And Apolo with a 30!  Wow!

If Clyde does not go home tonight, something is wrong.  It should be his turn to leave.  I can't believe he is getting enough votes to offset the low votes by the judges!

I read that Heather fell!  I wonder if they will show that again on the recap show.

Laila is still my favorite, but I like Apolo, Joey, and Ian, too.

 :wave Clyde went home with such dignity and yes, wonderful comments to the other danicing stars and especially the judges.

I was surprised Heather was in the bottom 2 as well.  You had to admire her for the way she handled her fall the night before.

Apollo, what can you say, he is so good and it shows when he performs.  He is enjoying it a lot and that comes through.

Joey, is still my second choice. 

I get the biggest kick out of Jimmey Kimmel.  Especially when Joey was a part of the skit!

Until next week, will see who has improved and who hasn't.  Looking forward to it.  :bouncy  :bouncy

It was Clyde's time to go for sure, and he really was so eloquent, and I believe relieved to be voted off :lol
The top dancers are very apparent, and it is now so impotant for every performance to be the :explode so many really want to win!!!

Post by: Misha on April 18, 2007, 05:00:49 PM
I agree that Joey, Apolo and Laila should be the top 3. 

I still don't know why, but I just don't like Ian.  He's competant dancing, but not really connecting with me.  I think him and Cheryl are just sooo wanting to WIN that they really have lost the JOY of the dance.  And that is why I voted for John this week.  Cause he had so much fun and really tapped into the JOY of the dance that I loved to watch him.  And I thought Clyde needed to go, so I had to vote for John so he wouldn't be eliminated instead of Clyde.

Hello!

I hope I remember to tape the show!! :bduh  Last week I didn't but the recap show was very complete.  I thinik that each week Apolo or Joey or Laila will "shine."  I predict they will be the top three.

Heather was in the bottom two with Clyde last week, so......who knows?  She may not be getting the votes she needs.  Even if she leaves tomorrow, she can be proud of how well she has done.

Hugs,
Prissy

PS:  I was determined not to get started watching "The Bachelor" again, but I'm hooked!!  The guy is such a cutie!! And it comes on after DWTS!! :wink

I agree!  Apollo is so refreshing and their routines have been the best I think all this season. I feel he has the best chance to win the competition.

Second place, hopefully will go to Joey.
I really wonder who will go home tonight.
This season's show has been most interesting and full of surprises.
I wish I could dance like them.  :bigsmile


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 24, 2007, 07:11:14 AM
What a great show last night!

I did remember to tape it and watched it when I got home.  Apolo and Julianne have to be the couple to beat.  I am still a Laila fan, but Apolo and Joey are still top notch.

I really enjoyed the group dance and it was cute.  I laughed out loud when the professional swing dancer asked the group, "Who is the strongest man?" and Laila raised her hand!! :lol  She is a strong powerful woman, and then when she picked up Apolo and spun around, I thought that was hilarious!! :roflmao

Heather did not do as well last night and seemed stiff to me;  I'm sure she was exhausted from the traveling she had done.  I think John, Billy Ray, or Heather may go home tonight.

If Ian could just relax more in his dancing, I think he  could be really good.

Hugs,
Prissy

Post by: mrs. c. on April 24, 2007, 12:20:48 PM
Prissy, I feel the same about Ian, he's just so stiff, as Misha said he try's too hard, and he speaks with clenching his teeth, relax Ian, you are good :clap :clap
Apolo and Julianne I believe are the couple to beat also, and I love Joey, he is such a funny man :lol
Geraldine I wish I could dance like them too!!! :bigsmile
Prissy, Laila really had me chuckling also with that comment :lmao :lmao


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Mary on April 24, 2007, 09:53:09 PM
Prissy, I agree with everything you said. I think that Heather was better than John and Billy Ray.

I'm hoping for a final with Apollo and Laila but I'm not counting Joey out just yet.

I like Ian but he doesn't have any joy in his dancing.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 25, 2007, 08:49:55 AM
Hello!

We had storms again last night and DWTS, the last half, was preempted for local weather reports!!  Finally, they put a small picture  in the corner of the screen and it looked like John and Heather were the bottom two, and Heather left.

I really think Heather was better than John and Billy Ray.  I am concerned that all of the women are being voted off.  I will not be a happy camper if Laila goes soon!  She is too good of a dancer;  and much better than some of the men.  I still see her in the top three with Apolo and Joey!

I have not been voting;  usually not home on Monday evenings because of orchestra, but I may have to start figuring out a way to vote for Laila; maybe online. :scratch

Hugs,
Prissy

Post by: ClayHeart on April 25, 2007, 12:32:07 PM
Hello,

Most of the show on Monday was preempted for severe weather warnings, so the only daning I saw was in the recaps they showed yesterday.  Oh well, I wonder who will be in the top 2?  Apollo seems like the best dancer and he has become more entertaining.  Joey is definitely entertaining also, but not as graceful.  Laila's doing better at being graceful.  She's so darned strong!!  Hope everyone has a great evening.

Debbie


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Misha on April 25, 2007, 12:59:25 PM
We did get preempted for the later part of the show for the results, but yes, Heather was voted off.

I wasn't surprised, nor was I disappointed.  I told my friend, I wanted Heather and Billy Ray voted off before my sentimental favorite John.  He may not be the better dancer, but I just love watching him.  So now I have one down, one to go before I will likely stop voting for John.  I don't want him to be in the top 3, nor do I think he should win... I just enjoy him so much more than Billy Ray or Heather.  Actually, I wouldn't be unhappy if he lasted longer than Ian.

I've tried to be fair regarding Ian.  In discussions with my friend, we agreed... one of the main problems with Ian isn't just his seriousness... Its Cheryl's seriousness and pouting when she isn't in "the spotlight" that turns us off from their dancing. 

We also think that the two of them have no chemistry at all.  I mean, look at the way they are together.  I'm not really even sure they like each other all that much and it just is hard to watch when you have people like Laila and Maks burning up the screen... a not so brotherly-sisterly chemistry like Apollo and Julianne despite all their denials to the contrary... the comedic chemistry between Joey and Kim...  John and Edyta's cuteness chemistry... Heck, even Billy Ray and his partner (can't remember her name) have a certain "defying the odds and working my butt off even though I suck at dancing" sort of chemistry (can you say "Bubba Chicken" and not laugh your tushy off?).   Ian and Cheryl just offer me nothing to hold onto to turn them into a charming, cute, funny, sizzling or anything else kind of couple except the couple who want to win win win but sulk when they don't.  I don't have the background on "loving Cheryl" cause this is the first year I've even watched DWTS, so all I can see is poor losers when it comes to those two.

I think Apollo, Laila or Joey could win and I would be happy with any of those three.

I think I heard a "slip" from Entertainment Tonight yesterday afternoon.  Mary Hart said it was Heather's last dance!!  And this was hours before the show came on live!  At first, I thought they meant Heather was leaving on her own accord, but I guess she was voted off.  Like a lot of you, I wasn't able to see the second half.  :bang

I did enjoy seeing the group swing number again!  That was so much fun! 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed :cross for Laila.

Hi everyone!  :wave Too bad so many of you were unable to see the entire results show this week, I hate when shows are preempted like that.  :bang Luckily it wasn't here, I was sad to see Heather go, being on DWTS totally changed my opinion of her, and she did such a great job every week, and you know she worked the hardest.  :smile She did seem stiff this week, but I really wish she had been able to hang on for a few more weeks. I think John should've went this week, he is fun to watch, but not good enough to win. I've been voting for Heather, Ian, (I think he's a good dancer, and looks good on that dance floor!  :thud ) Joey, (I wish he would win, to me he's the best dancer and the most fun to watch, I look forward to seeing him most each week,  :bouncy ) Apolo, (I think he should be in second place, I didn't care for his dance this week, but the week before...Wow!  :bigsmile ) and Billy Ray, (I've been a fan of his for years, and he's fun to watch also, but not nearly good enough to win. This is the first season I've watched DWTS, and now I'm wondering what I've been missing!  :purpbana ~Kelly~

Very impressed with the effort put forth to learn 2 dances tonight by everyone!!! :clap :clap
Have to say that Laila and Maks were smokin' tonight, very hot, sexy couple together :slick
Joey and Kym really have a great fun vibe :shappy and Apolo and Julianne are just so cute together :angel would love them to be a RL couple :lol
Cheryl and Ian were better together tonight, but something is still missing, John and Edyta are so smooth, but lack the IT factor, and Billy Ray and Karina~~~what can you say :lol


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on May 01, 2007, 01:58:16 AM
For the first time, I was the MOST impressed with Joey last night.  :lol  I thought he did a great job.  I still think Apolo and Julianne are my favorites, though.  :wink I think Laila was very sultry.  She does a great job.  :clap 

This is really a good season.  I am enjoying it.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Misha on May 01, 2007, 05:01:39 AM
I missed the first two dances last night with Laila and John... but I did manage to catch the rest of them.

I can't say that I've changed my mind much though.  My sentimental favorite, who, if the right person is eliminated tonight (Billy Ray), still has such charm but I will stop voting for him to make room for those who I believe SHOULD win.  I just want John to outlast Billy Ray is all.  I enjoy watching John much more than Billy, sooo... but we shall see tonight, because I think the only options for elimination tonight is either John or Billy Ray.

I still cannot make up my mind on who I like more for the "win".  Love Joey.  He makes me giggle and smile and last night he was electric.  Love Apolo.  Though he didn't do as well last night as Joey did... I know he can do that well, sooo...

As for Laila, I do like her a lot.  I just think she hasn't shown me as much sparkling energy as Joey and Apolo have.  She has shown the sultry side.  I'm just waiting for the part that makes me laugh out loud with happy excitement.

Ian did better, but... he's still just not got that connection for me.  But he is better than John and Billy Ray, so he does deserve to stick around a bit.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on May 01, 2007, 05:48:08 AM
Hello!

Wow! Two dances last night!  I agree that Joey was outstanding.  Some of the dance steps he did were just unbelievable.  I am seeing it as Joey, Apolo, and Laila in the Final Three and the Final Two being Joey and Apolo. 

Laila is the only celebrity gal left in the competition.  I really think that Billy Ray, John, and Ian should go before she does.

It is time for Billy Ray to go.  He has not improved that much and seems to just take a step or two and stand while his partner does most of the dancing.

This is such an entertaining show!!   :clap

Hugs,
Prissy


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: ClayHeart on May 01, 2007, 09:01:35 AM
Well, I'll have to watch the second half of last night's show tonight.  My hubby and I switch to "24" at 9 on Monday evenings.  He doesn't watch much TV, and that's one of his favorites.  I was one of the ones who missed most of last week's show because it was preempted with severe weather warnings.  Thank goodness for showing clips of their dances on the results show.  Laila has really improved.  At the beginning it was hard to tone down her great physical strength, but she is definitely letting her more feminine and softer side show through and her dances are becoming more graceful.  I'm not sure if she can beat out all the men, but I know she'll definitely give it her all.  Have fun tonight watching the show.

I  still think it's between Apolo, Joey, and Laila.  Billy Ray or Ian should go home before any of these three;  and I really think it should be Billy Ray this time!!

I am enjoying this show, too.  I tape it on Monday's, when I remember, then watch it later or on Tuesday morning.   Will there be a time when they are expected to do three dances???  I can't remember! :scratch

Deanna,
As I recall, you and your husband are ballroom dancers.  Isn't that correct?  I think I remember reading that about you; possibly for your birthday poem a couple of years ago.  Or do I have you confused with someone else?

I agree.  Billy Ray and Ian should go before the other three and Billy should be first of the two.

Looking forward to the show tonight.  A little sad cause I have to watch Billy Ray and his blecky dancing instead of John.  *sighs*  But I knew John wouldn't win, so its okay.

Does anybody here watch 'So you think you can dance'? I really enjoy that show and it starts up again May24th. Some of those dancers are really something.

Yes, my hubby and I have taken alot of dance classes, but we are very rank amateurs compared to the people on the show.   :bigsmile

Although, my classes make me really appreciate how well these stars do.  It ain't easy!! :lol For the record, Apolo and Julianne did the most "technically difficult" program last night. :wink

I think at this point, my mind is still open to one of the top 3 couples as far as my pick for the winner goes.  And naturally, the top 3 in my opinion (and most of yours) is Apolo, Joey and Laila.

I enjoyed all three of their performances last night.  The bottom two should be Billy Ray and Ian, with Billy Ray leaving (please).

But dang, Apolo sure did "raise the bar" last night, didn't he?


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on May 08, 2007, 05:19:20 AM
Hello!

I agree with you all that Apolo and his partner are amazing.  And at only 18, Julianne is doing a fabulous job of choreography each week.  It is my understanding that the professional dancer comes up with the dance routine.

I love Laila and Maks together, but Maks has got to follow the rules more.  He is hurting Laila's scores with the judges by wanting to entertain the audience too much.  Early on in the competition, he was also chastised for not being true to the steps required for certain dances. 

I think the judges really are impressed with Laila, so I hope Maks steps up and becomes more responsible.

If Joey pleases Bruno and KerryAnn, then Len is displeased.  If Len is happy with Joey's dance routine, then Bruno and KerryAnn feel likes it's lacking.  Joey just can't please all three!!

I felt badly for Ian, because I think he really felt like he was going to have a good night, then he was shot down by the judges with his first dance.

If I were ranking them, I would have them in this order:  Apolo, Joey, Laila, Ian, and Billy Ray.  We should say "adios" to Billy Ray tonight!

Prissy


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: geraldine on May 08, 2007, 06:25:28 AM
Hi Prissy and the rest!  It sure was Apollo's night last night.  All their perfomances were great last night.  I felt tho that Ian, as hard as he tries is still a little stiff with his dancing, he if he could relax, he has the talent as a dancer.

Since it is close to the finals, I agree that Billy Ray will go tonight.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on May 08, 2007, 09:04:10 AM
Bev, I do watch "So You Think You Can Dance" and I agree some of the dancers are truly amazing :clap Thanks for the reminder it starts up again soon!!!

Deanna, thanks for confirming what I felt true last night, that technical difficulty went to Apolo and Julianne, they really did raise the bar.
Misha, I agree that any of the top three could win, they are all terrific :clap
I am really disappointed that Ian didn't click with his dancing and the judges or the audience this year, I've tried so hard to like him, yes Misha~~~because of Cheryl :bigsmile unfortunately Cheryl is finally going to know tonight what it feels like to be in the bottom 2 :cry and Billy Ray was a tad out of line with his verbal barbs at Bruno :naughty thought Karina was gonna whap him :lol

ME TOO!

I would love the top 3 to be Joey and Kim, Apolo and Julianne, and Laila and Maks.  Those are the three that I think have CONSISTENTLY done very well each week.  I don't know who I want to win though.  I really don't.  

Because I like Joey and Kim... they're so darned entertaining, I love watching them and then they have moments when they are realllly good at the technical part of the dancing.  

I love Apolo and Julianne and tend to think they are technically better than Joey and Kim and yet they have this chemistry when they dance, its just awesome to witness.

I like Laila and Maks, though I think I don't like them nearly as much as Joey and Apolo.  But that could be because I'm a woman and therefore just naturally gravitate to men.  But at least her and Maks have chemistry on the floor.

Ian and Cheryl have the least chemistry and Ian just isn't at ease on the dance floor.  Even Cheryl looked shocked tonight when they were proclaimed safe.  I don't think she was faking that look.  So I think she was prepared to be in the bottom 2.

I just truly don't think it would be right for Ian and Cheryl to survive simply because people like Cheryl.  I'm sure she's nice and all that, I just think it wouldn't be right when the other three have consistently done better.

Next week should be very interesting! I't so close the the finals now, and I am going to be sad when the show is over, how about you?
Thanks for the continued updates. :hugg

Charlene,

I really enjoy this show and will be sad when it ends, too.  But I'll look forward to a new season when it starts again.

 I was very surprised that Joey was in the bottom two;  it really should have been Ian.  Joey is a better dancer than Ian.   I'm still a fan of Laila and Maks.  But Apolo is really showing a lot of natural talent as a dancer, so......who knows.  If Apolo, Joey, and Laila are in the top three, I will be happy and whoever wins will be deserving.

Hugs,
Prissy

It really was a wonderful show tonite wasn't it.  Apolo is SO good, but so is Joey! I think I'd have to vote for both of them, although Apolo was robbed of the 3 tens because he was 'too raunchy'...lol I love raunchy myself.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on May 14, 2007, 10:46:50 PM
Wow!

I just love this show!  I stayed up late to watch my tape of it.  The four best were in the semifinals.  I know he has improved, but I really think Ian should go home tomorrow, and only because Apolo, Joey, and Laila have done so well.

It was fun seeing Len give pointers to each of the finalists.  He must have been quite a dancer in his day! 

I still lean toward Laila and Maks, but Maks is getting a little too "mouthy."  I was afraid his talking back to Len would lose the "10" vote from him!

Looking forward to tomorrows show.

Prissy

PS:  I was able to vote on line and I gave my votes to Laila and Maks.

Well, they all did great!  :clap :clap  I think it is funny that I thought Apolo did the BEST and he didn't get the perfect "10s" that Joey and Laila did. :shrug  I think he sometimes gets held to a different standard for some reason.  :para  He was technically the most proficient once again.

I can only hope that this means his fans will really vote for him. :lol

I think Ian should go home tonight.  We will see........

I totally agree! The only reason he didn't get a ten from hatchet face is because he thought it was too naughty? I've seen some really "naughty" dancing, especially that dance form and they certainly don't get marked down for it. I think he did that just because he knew Apollo wanted the perfect score so badly. Also in hatchet faces slight defense, Apollo was first up and they really didn't know how well the others were going to do. It's always hardest to be first in a competition as they have nothing to compare them to. However, in this instance, they KNEW his form was letter perfect, and the "style" of the dance shouldn't have entered into his disgusting decision.

Joey was great last night and he's quite an athlete in his own right. I still think Apollo is more technically correct in his posture and footwork. He's awesome.

In my humble opinion, I think Ali is given WAY to much praise. She's not as good as hatchetface says she is. I truly believe that they are just trying to keep a woman in the competition and I also think it has a bit to do with her daddy. JMO. Her partner is very good at showcasing her strong points in his choreography.

IMO I just don't think Ian is a graceful dancer. He did do pretty good last night but the dances they chose to do, (smart partner) were well suited for his strong points.

OK I vented now. I just think Apollo got ripped!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: ClayHeart on May 15, 2007, 10:07:24 AM
I think that Joey and Apolo are the best all-around dancers as far as being technically good AND entertaining.  When you see Ian dance, you can really see the effort to be good much more than the other two, and it may be just my opinion, but his personality comes across as being a bit fake IMO.  I certainly don't know the man, and it could be just his nerves coming through.  Laila has certainly improved, but I don't believe she should be in the top two.  She probably does get some votes because of who her dad is.  Well, I guess we'll see tonight who goes home.  I think it should be Ian.  Have a great night everyone.

Hello!

Even though I am a fan of Laila, I do agree that Apolo and Joey are the better dancers.  I voted for Laila because I don't want her to go home before Ian.  I thought she did well, but was surprised she had all 10's.   

I would put Apolo and Joey right up there with the professional male dancers.   They are just amazing!!

I do hope it's Ian going home tonight.  He's had a good run, but it's his turn to go.

Hugs,
Prissy

We're getting closer now to the winner.  This is going to be a tough one.

I think it will be between Joey & Apollo.
But then again, with these types of show you never know!

Thanks for the list Prissy :hugg


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Misha on May 16, 2007, 10:21:11 AM
I definitely agree.  The right top 3 have made it through.  This is my first year watching this though, so I'm a bit confused....

How is it that the top 3 equals the finals?  How does this work now?  Isn't the top 2 supposed to be in the finals?


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: geraldine on May 17, 2007, 05:18:54 AM
I agree, I think it will be between Joey and Apollo.  They have done an excellent job  :clap

I wish the best of luck to both of them.  I have to say that I hope Joey wins, he has worked so hard and more personality.

One more week once another goes home and then finaly.

Something I have wonderd about is, do the winners go on tour also?  Do you know Prissy? :hugg


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: geraldine on May 18, 2007, 03:54:34 AM
The three left of the stars were on Larry King last night with their dancing partners.  It was good to see them.

In answer to my own question, Apollo said that he would not be touring, because of his already busy schedule.

It was a cute show.  I am anxiously waiting for Monday to see who will go home.  I'm going to miss DWTS when it is over.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Clanderson on May 18, 2007, 10:17:19 AM
The 3 remaining couples were on Larry King Live last night for the hour. It was an excellent show with lots of questions and clips to show. Larry even danced with Laila..lol That show will be repeated either Saturday or Sunday night so if you didn't see it last night check the listings.
Bev


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on May 18, 2007, 11:42:13 AM
Hello!!

I was gone most of the day yesterday and did not know about the three couples on Larry King.  I will try to catch it Saturday or Sunday night.  Thanks Bev.

Charlene,
I don't know who will be on the tour.  I see that Apolo will not.  I hope that Laila and Joey will tour, even though I probably won't see the touring show.  It is coming to Dallas but will be at the American Airlines Center, which is huge.  Now, if they would come to Nokia Theater in Dallas/Grand Prairie, I would go!!

I really don't think Laila will win, but she could surprise everyone and be in second place.  The three best ones made it to the Finals and I think that is wonderful.  I really don't care who wins at this point.

I think Laila and Maks are funny.  When he visited her home and he was burning the chicken on the grill, Laila held it up and showed the camera how black it was and made a face!  Then she pushed Maks into the pool.  I enjoy them when they are having their practice sessions.  They are so different, but funny together, in my opnion!!  :lol

Now about there being 3 in the Finals instead of 2.  We will have to watch and see how they handle that.

Hugs,
Prissy

Hello,

I found this online about the Finals:


The three remaining celebrity dancers -- Laila Ali, Joey Fatone and Apolo Anton Ohno -- begin the competition's final round on Monday, when they will perform a dance chosen by the judges as well as a "freestyle" dance.

The new "Dancing With the Stars" champion will be named on May 22.


(So, this is the final week with three couples in the Finals instead of two.)

Post by: Misha on May 21, 2007, 12:20:54 PM
Thanks Prissy.  I remember last year about the finals being between Emmitt and Mario and so when I heard that the finals had three in it, it just really confused me.  Granted, last year I caught the last show, so I did see ONE episode from last season, so I'm glad you found out whats going on.

Maybe this is their way of getting a woman to make it to the finals?

And regarding Maks.... sure he's arrogant.  But so are pretty much all of the other professional dancers.  Last year I heard about Karina was pretty arrogant.  This year I've seen Cheryl pouting cause she wasn't doing as well as she wanted to.

Lets face it.  These dancers have to be arrogant to push themselves to the level that they are at.  Its part of what turns a good dancer into a great dancer.  Even watching the "stars" dance, those who show fear, just don't convey a very good dance and fail to connect.  Those who are a little arrogant, can let loose and really have some fun because they BELIEVE they can do it.

I'm okay with Maks being that way.

I still want Joey or Apollo to win though.   :lol

Hello!

I watched my tape of DWTS last night and really enjoyed it.  I think the judges take turns being hard on someone!!  Here Laila tries to do something different in her Free Style and she's criticized for not doing the sultry type dancing they like for her!!

Again, I think that any of the three could win and I would be happy.  I did finally get some online votes in for Laila while ago.  They had to send me my member name to vote online and it was my email address.

So, if you are having trouble signing in to vote on DWTS, try your email address for your members name and whatever password you use.

CLAY MAY BE ON DWTS TONIGHT!! :wheee

Will he be in the audience?  Will he have a skit with Jimmy Kimmel?  Will he be a guest singer?  I vote for the last one! :wink

Hugs,
Prissy

I can't believe that the show lasts until 11:00 tonight.  Don't they realize that some of us get up at 4:00 am???  :lmao :lmao

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Misha on May 23, 2007, 04:51:50 AM
I was in complete agreement with the results.  Though I would not have been upset with any of the winners, I did think that technically Apolo was the best and he had enough showmanship to make it so much fun to watch.  Though Joey was a close second with his routines, he just wasn't quite as good as Apolo (though he was darned close).  And then to finish it off with Laila... I just really was pleased.   :clap

I think Apolo showed on DWTS the same determination he must have shown to become an Olympic medalist.  He obviously had strength and stamina from his skating, but he wasn't a dancer.  He improved every week and became a better "entertainer".  I know that the judges loved Joey as an entertainer, and he certainly was, but Apolo did much harder choreography, and still was entertaining.  Well, I guess we'll have to wait for next season now.  Have a great day everyone.

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: geraldine on May 24, 2007, 04:01:24 AM
APPOLO Took the tropy, by working hard and improving each week.  It was good to see such determination.  :clap

Joey worked hard as well, but as we all know second place is not a bad place to be. 
I look forward to seeing all of them on tour.  What I loved about the show is that when the stars got out on the dance floor they made it look so easy.

It will be interesting to see which stars will be picked for next season.

As a bonus what fun that was to see Clay during the Jimmy Kimmel skit.

What a great DWTS season this as been.  Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread.

I agree with the results and I think that we will be seeing more of Apolo, Joey, and Laila.  I believe the public is enchanted with all three and, hopefully, they will be showing up on more TV shows and maybe even movies.

Until next time!

Wayne Newton & Cheryl Burke
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/02-4-1.jpg)

I think we can see the ones who have the energy and grace to go the distance.  I think that Wayne Newton was too nervous and stiff.   Helio Castroneves did very well, as did Floyd Mayweather.

Of the women, the model, Josie Maran was not the best, but Sabrina Bryan was a stand out and I liked Jane Seymour, too.

I was able to vote online today (I'd forgotten my user name!!)  I voted for Mark Cuban just because I don't want him to be the first to go.  He is not as well known as the others, but he is well known in this part of Texas;  he owns the Dallas Mavericks basketball team.

I hope others will join in discussions here, too.

Still a wonderful show, and Dolly Parton is on tonight!!

Hugs,
Prissy

Hello!

I just watched my tape of tonight's DWTS.  It looks like Helio may be the front runner with Sabrina following close behind!!  I do like Jane Seymore and Marie Osmond.  I hope they stick around for a while.  I feel bad for Mark Cuban.  He has not done that well and I think he may be going home.  It really should be Wayne Newton.  He was pretty slow tonight.  I think his big fan base may keep him around for a while.

I do like the professional dancer Maks.  He was Lalia Ali's partner last season and he just has such humor about him!! Fun to watch!

I have been trying to vote online but I cannot get the page to come up.

Prissy - I SO agree with you!!!  I think Helio is GREAT!!!!!  Sabrina looks like a professional out there.  To me, they are the two best. 

BUT, I thought Marie Osmond REALLY showed that she is trying to make it in this competition, and did very, very well tonight.  I applaud her.   :clap  And I REALLY like her as a person.

Poor Wayne Newton.  He needs to go home. 

JMHO

Hello Tammy, Stargazer, Woody, Clandy, Meesa, Frankie, Glory, and others who will join in.

I could not vote online last evening, but was able to vote this morning.  I am not voting for the best right now;  just trying to keep Mark Cuban in for a couple of more weeks.  I think Wayne Newton, Jennie Garth, and Cameron Mathison should go before Mark, but they are better known.  I think that the fact that Mark is a billionaire and a little cocky have hurt his chances.  He definitely should not be the winner or even in the top 5, but deserves to be there a little while.

I watch ALL My CHILDREN, and Cameron Mathison plays Ryan on that show.  He probably has a large fan base like Wayne Newton.  I'm still liking Helio and Sabrina.

I haven't found a favorite Star yet, but my favorite professional dancers are Cheryl, Julliane, and Max. I do like Wayne Newton - he seems like a good guy - but he needs to go. I hope voters won't let him hang on as they have with the worst dancers in past seasons. I will hate to see Cheryl go so early, though! (I still say - in my next life I want her body and her haircut!)

THIS IS SUCH A NEAT SHOW. I HAVE TO TAPE IT AS MR. J;S FAV. PROGRAMS; PRISON BREAK AND K VILLE ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME. SO I HAVE TO STAY UP VERY LATE TO SEE THE SHOW.

I LOVE SABRINA. SHE , TO ME, IS SO PROFESSIONAL. SUCH ENERGY. sHE HAS MY VOTE, HANDS DOWN. I ALSO LIKE JANE SEYMOUR, A VERY CLASSY LADY.

I LIKE ALBERT REED, I THINK HE IS A GOOD DANCER WITH THOSE LONG LEGS AND LEAN BODY. BUT I , ALSO HOPE MARK DOES NOT GO HOME. HE IS DOING A FINE JOB AND I JUST LOVE HIS PERSONALITY. WAYNE NEWTON HAS A HUGE FAN BASE SO IT ISNOT LIKELY THAT HE WILL GO HOME FOR AWHILE. HE IS SO STRANGE LOOKING THAT I CANNOT CONCENTRATE ON HIS DANCING, ANYWAY HE IS NOT GOOD.

I JUST LOVE MAX, THE PRO. HE SHINES EVERYTIME HE IS ON THE FLOOR. WISH DANCING MUSICALS WOULD COME BACK. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM IN A FRED ASTAIRE/GENE KELLEY TYPE MOVIE.

GLAD DOLLY IS GOING TO SING, WILL BE A GOOD NIGHT.

I love watching Maks/Max dance.  He is my favorite professional male dancer.  I like Cheryl, too, and will hate to see her go so soon.  Wayne Newton looks like he had the plastic surgeon Kenny Rogers had!! :eek

I would gladly trade my body for any female body on the show: professional or star ladies!!  Marie Osmond and Jane Seymore are still looking good!!

Such a fun show, but hard to watch someone leave each week. :cry

Yes, it was a surprise.  I'll be honest.  Albert is charming, but there is something about Anna I wasn't so crazy about.   :bduh  Not sure what.  You can tell the FAN BASE they talked about tonight is playing its role.  At least Wayne Newton was in the bottom two, and will probably go home next week.  Or at least I hope, if this competition is to be respectable.  Maybe since they said Albert was the dark horse people didn't think he needed the votes.   :shrug  Not sure....but we have learned from Idol how important the votes are.  Maybe I should start voting next week.

Why is there always a person every year that stays around too long?!?!?  The wrong person went home - and I feel bad for Wayne Newton - he knows he should have gone. I know Jayne Seymour (that is spelled wrong I think) wants to stay in to honor the memory of her Mom, but how in the world will she be able to learn the dance this week?


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on October 03, 2007, 06:38:35 AM
Frankie,
I wonder if Jane Seymour's partner will fly to England to rehearse with her??  I read that Cameron Mathison (Ryan on ALL MY CHILDREN) is still filming and rehearsing at the same time.  I wonder if the professional partner just travels around with the celebrity and they practice when they can.  :dunno

I'm still surprised that Albert went home.  I thought he would capture a lot of the female vote.

I'm predicting it will be a Helio/Sabrina Finale!  We'll have to see if someone else really steps up like Emmitt Smith did a couple of years ago. 

I just hope Maks sticks around for a while!! :wink :thud  Right, Sharon!

I enjoyed Jayne's tango too.  I also liked Marie's tango.  Both great, but very different.  I loved both interpretations.

I thought Julianne and the race car driver did very well and would have given them higher scores than the judges. 

Wayne tried, but he really does have to go!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: KSChristian4Clay on October 08, 2007, 07:36:18 PM
Jane made me cry! Sabrina is still my favorite and Wayne has to go.

Did anyone else think Marie's scores were a bit high? Grandma and I both thought so.

Also, Mel B. needed a different dress. That made her look bigger than she is!  :para

Hello!

I have not watched tonight's show yet.  Orchestra practice;  then the Dallas Cowboys game.  (Cowboys won, just barely, 25 to 24 over Buffalo!) 

I noticed that Donnie Osmond has been a DWTS correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.  And Marie Osmond got all the attention on ET.  It does seem like the other stars should get equal time.



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on October 08, 2007, 10:24:02 PM
 :wow

I just finished watching the show!  The women were all really great tonight!!  I think the men may start going before the women.  I'm ready to let Mark Cuban go.  He is not doing that well and his hip is really bothering him.  I do think Wayne Newton should go before Mark, but we shall see what happens.

I will really be surprised if one of the lady stars leaves tomorrow.

I am still really enjoying watching Maks dance!!  He's my favorite of the males and he's funny, too.

I predict that they ask Jane Seymour to repeat her dance tomorrow! :wink

I think I am in the minority with my thoughts about last night.  I really didn't think the scoring on the couples were fair.  There was a lot of sentiment about Jane's dance with what happened with her mother.  Myself I thought Jennie Garth and partner was fantastic.  I felt I was really watching something special as the crowd seemed to.  I thought they were the best of all.  We will see what happens tonight.  Please let us say goodby to Wayne!!!!!!!!!!!



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on October 09, 2007, 08:15:59 AM
Pepe,

I thought that Jennie Garth was just excellent last night.  She captured the essence of the Tango!  I did think Jane Seymour did really well, too.    I said I thought they would ask Jane to repeat her dance tonight, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they ask for Jennie!!

Meesa,

I don't know what I feel about Marie Osmond.  She seems to be "acting" her part too much.  She is such a great personality, however.

It is embarrassing to watch Wayne Newton.  He almost seems paralyzed out there.  After all these years of singing for millions, he can't possibly be that nervous!!! :shock
 
Hugs,
Prissy

Wayne and Cheryl were eliminated this evening.

Wayne Newton & Cheryl Burke
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/02-4-1.jpg)

Floyd, the boxer, and Karina were in the bottom two, also.

Mark Cuban was really surprised that he made it through another week.  I think he will be going home in the next week or two.  He should be satisfied that he has lasted as long as he has.

The ladies have really raised the bar!  And Pepe, you were right;  Jennie Garth and her partner impressed the judges the most!

Sharon,
I will miss Cheryl, too.  I'm sure when she got Wayne Newton as a partner, she was aware that she would not go the distance this time.  She was always very gracious and did not ever make faces like some of the professional lady dancers do, (Karina, for one!)
I loved that Maks got to do a special dance!!  :thud And he is on the cover of TV Guide for next week with Cheryl and Julianne.  :bigsmile

Hugs,
Prissy

There are some great dancers this seasons!!  Poor Wayne was definitely out of his league.  I give him credit for trying, but I think he was a little too "mature" for this season. Did you hear him say that he lost 20 lbs doing DWTS?  Good for him!!

My favorite so far is Helio!  I loved Apollo and Julianne last season.  Now I think she is a great teacher and choreographer because I have been impressed with her team again this year.  I am impressed that she is so young and yet seems so seasoned and smart about her routines.

I also have been impressed with the ladies this season.  They have been doing great!!

It looks like quite a tight competition this time!!  :clap :clap

Maks was born in 1980!!  Only 27!  Why does he seem older than that?? :dunno

It was time for Wayne Newton to be eliminated.  Every year there are one or two stars that really don't belong on DWTS.    I think it will be a lady star that wins this year.

I love Helio and Julianne, but Sabrina and Mark really deserved their perfect scores :clap :clap
Funny, I can't watch Mel B. and it's not because I want to watch Mr. hotstuff, she just doesn't appeal the way the other ladies do.

As always, I enjoyed DWTS!!  I think it may be time for Mark Cuban to go.  I didn't want him to be the first to go;  but he's had a good run.  I think the men may all leave before the women, except for Helio!

Good Morning!

I was able to get in online votes on both computers.  I won't say who I voted for!!  :wink  I think the ladies are doing a great job!  Kerriann seemed to be in a snit about lifts last night!!  And Len was in a good mood!! 

I predict the boxer or Mark Cuban will go home tonight.  Mark has had a good run, but he is not a great dancer, but he has given it his all!   I don't think there is a lot of chemistry begween the boxer and his partner. 

I believe there will be a mystery guest on tonight's Results show!!  :dunno

Prissy, the boxer is Floyd Mayweather and he is with Karina Smirnoff (whom I love) I feel it's Floyd's time to go, it will be interesting to see tonight!!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on October 16, 2007, 03:01:11 PM
Floyd Mayweather is the boxer.  Thanks, Sharon.  I should have gone back a page or two to see what his name was.  I am "kinda" hoping Floyd goes home and Mark Cuban has one more week! :cross

But it would be a shame if any one other that Floyd or Mark Cuban goes home today.  The other dancers are doing so well and deserve to stay in the running;  especially the ladies.

I am predicting Floyd is eliminated this week, Mark next week, and Cameron, the week after that.  I hope Helio sticks around until the Finals.

The ladies are more difficult to predict.    Let's say Melanie, Spice Girl, might be the first of the women to go.  I'd hate that because I like seeing Maks!!  Actually, Maks' fans may keep Melanie in the running longer!!  Then Marie Osmond, then Jane Seymour, then Jennie Garth and Sabrina in the Finals. 

From the "Get Go"  it looked like Helio and Sabrina should make it to the Final Two!  But it could very well be two women!!!

Floyd Mayweather is the boxer.  Thanks, Sharon.  I should have gone back a page or two to see what his name was.  I am "kinda" hoping Floyd goes home and Mark Cuban has one more week! :cross

But it would be a shame if any one other that Floyd or Mark Cuban goes home today.  The other dancers are doing so well and deserve to stay in the running;  especially the ladies.

I am predicting Floyd is eliminated this week, Mark next week, and Cameron, the week after that.  I hope Helio sticks around until the Finals.

The ladies are more difficult to predict.    Let's say Melanie, Spice Girl, might be the first of the women to go.  I'd hate that because I like seeing Maks!!  Actually, Maks' fans may keep Melanie in the running longer!!  Then Marie Osmond, then Jane Seymour, then Jennie Garth and Sabrina in the Finals. 

From the "Get Go"  it looked like Helio and Sabrina should make it to the Final Two!  But it could very well be two women!!!

 :dance :dance :dance :dance :dance :dance :dance

Prissy I am in total agreement on everything here, you and I have the same outcome predicted :clap :clap

I agree on both counts, SHARON.  I felt so sorry for Wayne.  He must still need the $$$;  otherwise, I think he would have retired by now.

I agree with both of you. Grandma actually cringed hearing Wayne sing. Mel didn't deserve to be in the bottom two. I am looking forward to seeing Maks with the Spice Girls at the video shoot next week!  :lmao

Eliminated tonight:

I was amazed that Mark Cuban was not in the bottom two!  I can't imagine who is voting for Mark unless it's all of Texas!!  Mark is probably the least known of any of the "stars" on the show so really no fan base.  I did not want him to go home right away, but it is definitely his time next week.

Mel and Maks should not have been in the bottom two!!  I'm so glad they were safe tonight.

Poor Wayne Newton.  That was difficult to watch and hear.  He has certainly lost a lot of his singing ability.  Sad!

Prissy

Feel sorry for Newton. What on earth happened to his voice???????

He MUST go home next week.

I had to record DWTS last night, and I'll probably watch it tomorrow.  I'm sure Wayne Newton has lost some of his singing ability because of his age, but I was really surprised at how "plastic" he looks.  I know entertainers have to keep themselves looking good, especially when they're still performing, but some seem to do it more gracefully.  Tony Bennett is older than Newton, but he looks better, IMO.  But I have to give Newton a hand for doing something as difficult as DWTS.  It shows he's still willing to go after new things.  Well, I have to be going.  Have a great night everyone.

Wayne Newton did sound like he was struggling to sing.  It sounde like to me he may have had a cold.  I saw him on TJLT this Sept and he sounded fine.  God bless him for trying his best on the show.

I was surprised at the bottom three, especially Marie Osmond.
Well there is always next week to look forward to.

Love that show and as I have said in here before I wish I could learn to dance like them.

When Marie fainted that was a scary moment!  And they were in commercials so long.  Thank goodness she is all right. 

I actually agreed with the judges on most of their comments tonight.  I do think it is time for Mark Cuban to go.  All the other dancers are better. 

I am liking Sabrina, Cameron, and MelB and Maks;  yes, Maks influences my voting!!!!!! :wink

Great show as always.

I was scary when Marie fainted - she hit like a rock! I am starting to develop some favorites - going to have to think about this - I may actually have to start voting! I do love this show - probably because I could not dance to save my life - I've always admired anybody who could dance.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: KSChristian4Clay on October 22, 2007, 09:20:11 PM
My goodness! Poor Marie.  :para I do think her dance wasn't the best though. Mark Cuban's dance, while it wasn't perfect, kept me entertained.

But ..... the smoking hot award and best dance of the night is a tie between Sabrina/Mark and Cameron/Edyta! :flame

Like Tom said, "Get a room!"  :wow

KUDOS TO MARIE FOR THE WAY SHE HANDLED SUCH AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION.  IMAGINE.  I WAS SO SCARED FOR HER AND SO HAPPY THAT SHE IS OK.  I THINK SHE IS ONE CLASSY LADY.

SABRINA IS MY FAVORITE.  I THINK SHE IS AMAZING.  I LOVE WATCHING HER DANCE.  MEL B IS GREAT ALSO.  I THINK EDYTA MAKES CAMERON LOOK GOOD.  SHE IS REALLY AN INCREDIBLE DANCER.

I AM ENJOYING THIS SO MUCH NOW THAT WAYNE NEWTON IS GONE.

Hi!

I'm going to guess that the judges ask Mel and Maks to repeat their dance this evening on the results show.  Others were as good or better, but they haven't had an encore yet!!


Sharon,
Would you mind seeing Maks dance again?  :bigsmile :wink :thud


I predict that Mark Cuban will go home this evening.  I didn't want him to go before Floyd or Wayne Newton, but now they are both gone and it's time for Mark to go, too.  If not Mark, it will be sad to see one of the better dancers go.

Post by: clayMaine-iac on October 23, 2007, 02:43:13 PM
I am going to get tomatoes thrown at me.  :para :hide

I really dislike Edyta's costumes and hair.  :chair  I feel she is a great dancer and doesn't need to dress so, so......scantily.  I think her costumes are distracting and sometimes distasteful.  Now, that is just me, but I don't like the fact that I get "distracted" by her outfits and forget to concentrate on her dancing.  I think she has a lovely, long line when she dances and she thinks it is showcased when she shows it off.  I would be able to see this without the lack of clothing.  :shrug  Sorry, gang!!!  :bite

I was disappointed in Helio last evening and that just broke my heart because I really have enjoyed him this season.

Marie was a real trooper.  At least now we all know the show is truly "live".

I thought Sabrina, Jane and Mel all did a good job.    :clap


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on October 23, 2007, 05:08:11 PM
I have to say I am rooting for Jennie Garth!!!  I think she is excellent.  She wasn't as good last night as she has been in the past but I think she is wonderful!  I am passing on Jane S. as she has had extensive ballet training growing up which gives her an advantage.  I feel so sorry for Marie.  She has had so many health problems and is still going thru this divorce.  She is a real trooper but I feel like putting my arms around her and patting her back and saying "its okay Marie you can cry".  I had read her life story a couple of years ago. 

Yep Edyta does have skimpy costumes almost not any costume.  I would think she would be happy to dance naked.  But I think that is how she is.  She doesn't want anything binding her body, she just wants free flow of her body.  And a great body it is!!!  If I had my life to live over I would be a dancer just so I could have that kind of body!!!

I'm watching the show!!

Maks and Mel got the Encore!!! :dance

Maks and Mel  and  Sabrina and Mark are safe so far!!! 

Jennifer Lopez has performed twice.  From her costumes, I'm wondering if she is indeed pregnant.  Her music is really repetitive!!  :para

I watched the clip again of Marie fainting.  She just slipped right though her partner's arms that were encircling her.

I'm still predicting Mark Cuban will go home.  We shall see!

PRISSY, I just put out the same question on the RTM.  Not only are her costumes maternity looking, but she also seems to be moving a little more guardedly.  My bet is on her being pregnant!

I agree SHIRLEY.  Marie is a real trooper.  I have always admired her spunk, her high moral values and her ability to smile and go on in the face of adversity.

You have a very good point, DEANNA.  She would be gorgeous to watch covered up in a potato sack!!!!  She does have a beautiful body but sometimes it would be lovely to leave a little bit more to the imagination. 

However, I remain a very stuanch Edyta fan.  She is a stand-out and seems to much more relaxed this year!!!

Thea,

The rest are all good or really good so it will be a shock each week to see who is in the bottom two!

I am leaning toward Mel and Maks making it to the finals with Sabrina and Mark.  Cameron may very well be the last guy standing unless Helio can make a comeback. 

5 women left:  Sabrina, Mel, Marie, Jennie, and Jayne.  Only two men:  Cameron and Helio.

I had heard Jane Seymour had to evacuate her home due to the fires.  I hadn't heard whether or not it was destroyed.  Does anyone know for sure?  I hope that it wasn't.  I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  I saw a newscaster reporting about the terrible fires and his home was burning in the background!

Well, we'll have to wait until next week to see how the remaining finalists do.  Anyone of them can have a really good week, or a not so good week.   Until then ....

Tonight should be interesting.  Last season we were watching to see if Heather Mills leg would come off and now we'll be watching to see if Marie is going to faint again!! :eek

I'm still leaning toward Mel and Maks with Sabrina and Helio right up there with them.  You just never know what will happen!  :wink

The group dance was fantastic!!   :wow

As much as it pains me to say this, I think it is Marie's time to go home.  She has done very well, but the competition is really tough this year and the others are just a step above her. 


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: geraldine on October 30, 2007, 04:51:51 AM
I agree :wow that was the best group dance of all the seasons thus far!

It is a hard one this year.  Poor Marie, I know how hard she has worked.  And I am a little worried about Jayne Seymore.  Seems the audience is favoring the younger ones this time around.  Ofcorse the end result of the show eventually tell.  Good work to all the stars! :bouncy





Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on October 30, 2007, 05:46:16 AM
It's hard to pick who may go home this evening.  I would say that Mel and Maks and Sabrina and Mark are safe.  Possibly Cameron, too!  But anyone else could be in the bottom two.

I am going to predict that Jane Seymour goes home.  I think she showed that she is one dimensional in her dancing;;  the ballet and elegant training always shows through and a fast dance was not her best effort.  Marie could very well be in the bottom two with Jane.

I think Helio and Julianne will be asked to dance again tonight, but only if the judges feel like they don't want Mel and Maks because they had the encore last week.  Otherwise, I would pick Mel and Maks for the encore.

Always hard to watch someone go home;  so much disappointment for them!!

GREAT WEEK.  LOVED MEL'S DANCE.  SHE IS REALLY GREAT.  I THOUGHT JENNIE WAS REALLY GOOD ALSO.  SABRINA IS STILL MY FAVORITE AND I THINK IT IS THE CHEMISTRY WITH HER AND MARK. 

I THINK EITHER JANE OR MARIE WILL GO HOME TONIGHT.  JANE IS SO ELEGANT, AND MARIE IS SO SWEET.  BUT THEIR AGE IS SHOWING.  CAN'T HELP IT.  JANE HAS THE BODY OF A KID, BUT YOU COULD TELL SHE COULDN'T QUITE KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED.

I AM LOVING THIS SEASON.  SUCH TALENT.

I really like Jane and Marie (they're closer to my age!!), but they just don't have the same energy the younger ones do.  I have to really give them credit for being on the show in the first place.  I would have been dead after the first day of practice!!  I don't think there is a clear cut front runner, so these next couple of weeks should be interesting.

I just went back and watched some of DWTS from last night again.  Samantha pointed out that Mel and Maks only got in 6 and a half hours practice compared to the 20 + hours of the rest!!

I wonder how the other dancers felt hearing that and seeing Mel and Maks get a perfect 30!  Probably frustrated!! :pullhair

Can't wait until tonight's performance.  You never know who will be eliminated and it could be a surprise!!  :dance

Post by: claydevotee on October 30, 2007, 06:20:48 PM
IMO Barry Manilow should retire.  For the first time in his career, he is singing about a quarter tone flat!  Move over Barry, Clay will be taking your place in the not too distant future!  :soapbox

Thea - at least he is really singing tonight - he lip-synced on some of the morning shows recently. ABC has always been Clay friendly - I keep hoping he will be on DWTS some day!  :cross  (I know Clay is way too busy this year!  :clap )

Mandy is on - my favorite Barry Manilow song - beautiful song - should be a beautiful dance to go with it.

Although Sabrina was one of the best dancers this year I am not surprised by this.. There were a lot of woman at work that thought she had more dancing experience under her belt then the others and were not so happy with her comments last night about why she said she didn't do as well..   I also went to the site that has Dial Idol . com this morning and found her to be in the very bottom. 

Sorry Meesa.. It's hard when our favorites go.. :hugg  I too liked her too  but thought she was so much more experienced then the others but I havent voted for anyone yet although Helio is my favorite..

I am in agreement with Tammy.  After the 10th time they said the results would be shocking, I wasn't sure who they were talking about.  I first thought Helio and Julianne, and when they were safe, then I thought of Sabrina.

She had some VERY good dances, but was never my favorite.  It is obvious this competition is driven by personal favorites, even if it has nothing to do with dancing.  I LOVE Marie Osmond, but she is not the best dancer here.

My favorites remain Helio and Julianne, but Cameron has SO improved, that he is right up there for me, too.

I AM BEYOND SHOCKED.  IT IS A TRAVESTY.  SABRINA WAS AMAZING.  THE BEST AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED.  WAY BETTER THAN JANE OR MARIE EVEN THOUGH I LIKED BOTH OF THEM AS WOMEN.

THIS HAS RUINED THE SEASON FOR ME.

Eliminated this evening.

Sabrina Bryan & Mark Ballas


This was the biggest surprise yet!!  I was sure that Sabrina would be in the Finals.  At least three others should have gone home before Sabrina.  She looked genuinely hurt and her partner, Mark, was very attentive to her.  It does point out how important voting is. 

I thought Barry Manilow's "Mandy" was lovely and the best I've heard Barry sing live in a long time.  The dance along with "Mandy" was very appropriate.  It was also fun to see Cheryl dancing again.

On The Insider or Entertainment Tonight, Mario Lopez was shown at Hugh Hefner's Halloween party with Floyd Mayweather's partner,  Karina Smirnoff.  I think she was Mario's partner on DWTS.

I guess we all should be used to "shocking votes" by now.  :wink  I wonder if lots of people assumed she was safe and used thier votes to save others.  :shrug

I did think Sabrina would be in the finals. I even was imagining what her final routine would be like.  I figured she would really let loose.

Now, I hope Helio makes the finals.

I will still watch the show, after all, I still watch AI.  :para

I wasn't surprised as well when Tammy told me Sabrina was in the bottom.  I guess people are not just voting for the best dancing.  My favorite as always been Helio, no he isn't Apollo and never will be but he just makes me smile. :blush

Aren't we use to this by now.  :bang :bang :bang :bang  very frustrating.  I thought for sure Jane Seymour or Marie Osmond would go home.

DWTS showed clips of Sabrina dancing with the Cheetah girls.  I wonder if some thought she had too much dance experience already??

That was "kinda" how I felt about Mario Lopez and one of the reasons I rooted for Emmitt Smith that year.

Still, others should have gone home before Sabrina.  I really expected her to be in the Finals.

Have you noticed that Len (the middle judge) seems quite partial to Jenny Garth?  Or am I just imagining that. :hypno



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on November 01, 2007, 08:23:14 AM
I keep meaning to mention this - did everyone see on Entertainment Tonight that Marie Osmond has made one of her "Adora Belle" dolls (which is made to look like her) into a DWTS doll - the first doll had the first costume she wore, and there will  more dolls for every week she is on. The show said that OVC has been overwhelmed with orders. Marie has all of her doll collectors voting for her, I bet. I have bought some of the little 5-inch dolls for my graddaughters - gave each of them one on the days they were born! (They are very good, high quality dolls).

I went to QVC to try to bring over a picture of the first DWTS doll, but bould not find one - they did have a link to Marie's Blog:

Quote
By the way – tune into QVC next week on Oct. 24th to see the last show of the year of my beautiful dolls – with a few surprises. I’m debuting the first ever DWTS licensed doll with "Adora Fox Trot Belle”, featuring Adora Belle costumed in my Week 1 gown. She’s too Adora Belle to miss – so tune in to advance order this darling dancing doll.

Quote
A very big THANK YOU to all of you who ordered your “Adora Fox Trot Belle” dolls last week on QVC. Isn’t she too cute?? By popular demand, I’ve decided to create even more Adora Belles dressed in representations of my costumes on the show

There are thousands pf Marie doll collectors - and they worship her (I like her, too, but she is not the best dancer). I think she may be around for a while.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 01, 2007, 08:55:38 AM
Frankie,

Even at 48, Marie has the face of a "doll."  She just looks like a life size replica of a doll.  I did see briefly on ET or The Insider, the DWTS Marie doll.  I am tempted to order one, but I am getting rid of Barbie dolls and Cabbage Patch dolls, so I hate to add another doll to my stuff.  Actually, it may have been on Jimmy Kimmel where I saw the doll, then they had it fall over!! :lol

I bet you are right.  Lots of her "doll" fans are voting for her.  She is not a great dancer, but she is such a great personality.  I can see her being in demand for some  "hosting" or "interview" type shows.

With Donnie on ET and The Insider, Marie has been getting a lot of attention.  Have you noticed that Spice girl, Mel, and Cheetah girl,  Sabrina,  and Jennie Garth, are hardly given any air time on these shows at all?  Of course, once she was eliminated, Sabrina was everywhere.

You are right!  It is really hard to predict who will go home now.  Sabrina should still be there.  I think Marie and Jane have lots of fans voting for them.    I really think they are the weaker dancers left.  I am rooting for Mel and Maks. 

Such a great show!  I was just thinking how much I look forward to DWTS and I don't feel that way about too many TV shows;  maybe BOSTON LEGAL.  :wink

Hi Prissy!  :wave
I guess I'm the only one who wasn't upset by Sabrina's departure?  :para I was shocked though, never thought she'd go home this soon. But I always felt her moves were too sharp and "powerful" as Len said, plus she's a professional dancer/choreographer, so maybe had a bit of an unfair advantage?  :soapbox

I played with my quartet this evening and forgot to set my tape. :eek  I did get home in time to see everyone dance the second dance.  Hopefully, the whole show was TiVo'd.  I did see that Mel and Maks got a perfect score of 30 again, and Marie Osmond got a 28 on her first dance!

Deanna,
Enjoy your dance class.  I remember for your birthday poem info a few years back, you said that you and your hubby enjoyed ballroom dancing!  You must really get a kick out of DWTS!

Here is the link again for DWTS.  I go to this link and do my voting online.  I am actually able to vote on two computers! :thumb

you're never too old woman
 
 :lol

Actually, my hubby and I have discussed going back to dancing for the last couple of years.  We decided we were too busy, it was too much travel, our family was too time consuming, and we had other interests, etc. etc.

So you may ask why we are dancing again:

Many, many years ago (before we were married even), we took some of our very first lessons together and met another couple our age with similar interests.  We all seem to "hit it off" right away and we were soon inseperable.  We went dancing all over the state with this other couple.  We spent time out doing things together and much time in each other's homes.  We became so close, that this couple was even in our wedding party.  :clap :clap 

Last winter, very, very unexpectedly the man died.  He had cancer that was diagnosed one week and he was dead the next.  It was very heart-breaking.

His widow called me last week and said she was tired of sitting around feeling sorry for herself and wanted to find something to do.  She really wanted to get back into dancing. (She hadn't danced for a few years, either)  She had done some research and found a class where she could go without a partner, but she really wanted someone she knew there and some moral support. 

So how could I refuse??? :shrug

I don't know who will leave tonight but I do believe it should be Jayne!!!

Deanna - I think I love DWTS because my Mom and Step-Dad were such beautiful dancers! I don't know if you have ever been to Memphis, but the famous Peabody Hotel (where the ducks live in the fountain!) once had a beautiful dance club on the top floor - it was called the SkyWay. Mother and my Step Dad would go there almost every Saturday and dance to the music of live bands! They were so good - it was wonderful to watch them (and I could not dance to save my life!) My Mom went to Senior Citizens dances well into her 80s. DWTS always makes me think of her  - I think it is wonderful that you are dancing again  :clap


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 06, 2007, 06:55:15 PM
Hello!

Deanna and Frankie,
Thanks for sharing your beautiful stories.  Deanna, I loved hearing about how you and your hubby and the other couple were so close dancing and now you both are dancing so your friend can dance again!    Frankie, so sweet to hear about your parents dancing at the Peabody. :hugs

Pepe,
I agree.  I think it's Jane's time to go home.


I am watching the Results show in Skip's home office so I can be at the computer.  I did not know about Marie's father until I saw it posted on site.  I did see Donnie on The Iinsider near tears talking about his dad being ill.  I can understand why Marie is not there tonight, but I bet she will be back to rehearse.

They've already announced that Marie and Jonathan are safe.

:dance Mel and Maks got to dance the encore!! :dance

Now, LeAnn is singing "How Do I Live Without You?"  Julianne and  Tony are dancing.

Cameron and Edyta are safe.

No more Jimmy Kimmel on the Results show.  I like Jimmy, but not on DWTS; not that funny.

Funny bit called Dance Center with Len and two former DWTS guys talking about the contestants.

I'm not that fond of the "Break Dancing" going on now.  I guess I'm just old!

LeAnn is singing again.  Her dress got shorter at the hem and lower at the top!!   I know I'm being too picky, but I think LeAnn's eyebrows are too dark and make her look older than she is.  She is a beautiful girl and a wonderful singer.  She grew up in my area of Texas.  I still remember when she was 13 and recorded Bill Mack's "Blue."   Cheryl and some girl dancers are dancing to this song.

Dance Center guys back again discussing the last three contestants.

I'm going to predict that Jane goes home, but I don't know who else will be with her in the bottom two.  :dunno

:wheee  Mel and Maks are safe!!!  :wheee

I think the right person went home tonight (even though I hate the "old woman" comments the Dance Center made about her - know it was supposed to be funny - they just went a little too far).

I wish Leann Rimes would get her mouth off of the microphone so that you could understand the words to her songs! She has one of the best voices ever, but her words sound like mush - I always have to watch her videos a couple of times before I can understand her - thought maybe it was my hearing until a couple of other people said the same thing to me!

When is Clay going to be on!?!?!?!  :soapbox

This year there are so many talented dancers that it is difficult to decide who should stay and who should go. A minuscule mistake could send someone home.

My favorites today are Mel and Cameron.

My sympathies go out to Marie and all her family.

I think Jane was very elegant and smooth as a dancer.  But she did lack some of the "high energy" and "power" of some of the others.

Well as always I fell asleep but was hoping that Julianne and Helio would still be there.  Not sure who else was in the bottom two couples but I do agree that it was time for Jane and Tony.  Jane was very elegant but she just lacked some spark.

Have a good one.

Lorraine,
There was not a bottom two last night.  We only know that Jane had the least amount of votes.  Any one of the other couples, including Marie, could have been in the bottom two.  I'm "kinda" wondering if Marie would have been in the bottom two but they didn't want to say that because of her dad's passing.  Or they may not have a bottom two any more and just announce the couple that is eliminated.

Deanna,
I agree about Jane.  She was wonderful in the elegant dances, but just couldn't bring the fire and excitement needed for the more exuberant dances.


Always a great show!!

Five couples left:

Jennie Garth & Drek Hough


Melanie Brown & Maksim Chmerkovskiy


Marie Osmond & Jonathan Roberts


Helio Castroneves & Julianne Hough

I'm really going to miss Jane's elegance, I know it was her time to go, but I'd hoped she'd be around another week. :cry
I did notice Jane was really working for her votes if you know what I mean, with all the Johnny Cash stories, like she was trying to appeal to all the Johnny fans out there.  :wink Can't blame her for trying!  :lol
And for a final thought, GO Cameron! :heart

Hello DWTS fans!!

Only a couple of more hours and  Monday's DWTS comes on.  Will Marie have had enough time to rehearse this past week with the OPRAH special and her dad's funeral?  I imagine she and Jonathan have rehearsed whenever there were some spare minutes.

I am "leaning" still toward Mel and Maks.  They are my favorites, and yes, I am influenced by Maks, but Mel has really done a terrific job on her dances, so......we shall see.

The critic who writes for our Fort Worth Star Telegram said he stopped watching when Mark Cuban left, but  he is still "kinda sorta" watching and thinks Mel should win!!

Always a great show!! :thumb

We went to an "official" dance on Saturday night with our widow friend.  We took her out to eat first and did some reminiscing. I had no trouble "sharing" my partner and taking turns.  My hubby is truly a smooth and accomplished dancer.  (at least that is what everyone else tells me :rolleyes)  I always have to hope that he makes me look good.  :bigsmile
I remembered alot more of the steps than I thought.  :clap  My hubby and I did one of the more intregate waltzes at the very end of the evening. It had back wraps to reverse and twinkle throughs and canters, etc.   :lmao  I think we did--okay. :wink


I think there is a chance that Mel and Maks might just win this season, but my sentimental favorite is still Helio.  He just makes me smile.  :smile  And his dances are more complex than you might think. :wink

Well, I think there are two clear leaders after tonight - Maksim and Mel and Julianne and Helio - I still haven't voted for anyone, but I think it would be a shame if either of these two teams left! Not sure who I think should leave - hard choice!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 12, 2007, 07:15:03 PM
Deanna,
How wonderful to read about your ballroom dancing with your hubby and that you are sharing this time with your widow friend. 

Predictions:

Encore dance will be Helio and Julianne

Going home:  Jennie Garth

I was able to get in a total of 25 votes this evening for Mel and Maks.  5 each on two phone lines and a cell phone and 5 each on two computers!! :thumb

I think Helio and Mel should be in the Finals, but anything could happen.  Marie and Ryan have huge fan bases and that could keep them in. 

Great show as always.

:dance   :dance   :dance   :dance   :dance

 :wave to everyone joining in on this thread!!  I enjoy all of your comments.

Hey Prissy :wave Helio and Julianne definately for the encore :clap :clap I still don't know who should go after tonight, it's so hard at this point :wink


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 12, 2007, 07:23:17 PM
Sharon,
Anything could happen and anyone could go home.  After Sabrina leaving, we know no one is safe.


Did Helio in that yellow suit and big yellow hat remind any of you of Jim Carrey in THE MASK?

Mel and Maks were the best tonight IMO.

Grandma liked Cameron and Edyta.

But we both agree the show is really missing something without Sabrina and Mark.

What am I doing up so early in the morning? :bduh  I couldn't sleep.. :bang  Helio and Julianne were my favorites as always..  It was difficult getting votes in but I managed on two phones.  I hope that's a good sign..


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on November 13, 2007, 02:07:17 AM
Yep, I loved Helio last night!! :lol

I thought Jennie did more difficult routines than Marie, but I think Marie has a bigger fan base.  I think that Mel and Maks have a good fan base, (especially Maks. :wink right gals  :yum)

I like Cameron, but it would not surprise me if he was voted off.



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 13, 2007, 03:44:43 AM
I am not a dancer, but a musician.  And I know hard work and practice are important but there has to be some talent and natural ability there, too.

I think that Mel and Helio have the natural ability to dance.  I believe that Ryan works very hard, but is missing the natural ability to dance, and Jennie and Marie, also.  Just my opinions. 

I encountered some busy signals at first when I was voting for Mel and Maks, but then I got through without any problems.  I hope that's not a bad sign.  I do like the way DWTS limits the amount of votes to the number of stars left in the competition.

If you want to vote online, which I have been doing for several weeks, here is the link to DWTS.

Thanks for the link, Prissy! It may be time for me to start voting!

Meesa - all of the magazines this week are full of Sabrina and Mark, since they announced that they are a couple - I am planning on cutting the articles out and mailing them to you!

Post by: Pepe on November 13, 2007, 06:33:35 AM
Well here is my unpopular opinion.  I try not to watch Maks and watch Mel since she is the one to be judged.  I thought the routine of Helio and Julianne was spectacular and deserved those 10's for a difficult routine.  I did not think Maks and Mel deserved the 10's.  It seems to me that as long as Mel keeps kicking her legs high she gets high scores.  I did not think Marie's partner did her justice for the routine he choose for her, I am sure she could have done more difficult routines.  I love Jennie Garth and think she is so much better than Marie but think Marie has a bigger fan base.  Somehow this doesn't seem right since you are supposed to vote for the person and their dancing ability.  I guess we all see people in different ways. 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 13, 2007, 07:53:17 AM
Pepe,
Your opinion is never unpopular here. :hugs  I have had some unusual favorites.  I was actually voting for Mark Cuban for the first few weeks to keep him from leaving right away.  Then, I knew it was his time to go.  Last year I was a fan of Lalia Ali and before that Emmitt Smith. 

I think that Jonathan was  "easy" with Marie this past week on her routines because of all Marie had to deal with:  the OPRAH show and her dad's funeral.  I have really grown to like Marie.  She is such a character!  I think that DWTS will be a springboard for her to do more on TV.  I would even love to see Donny and Marie come back with a variety show.  (Have Clay as the first guest!) :wink

Cameron tries so hard and has really come far.  I watch ALL MY CHILDREN, so I am a fan of Cameron's.  He just doesn't have the ability that Helio has or Apolo and Joey last year, but I really admire him for giving 100% each week.

Jennie is such a sweetheart.  I was really surprised to see Richard Simmons show up at her practice.  I think Jennie has really come far.  The judges were extra hard on her last evening after her first dance, but she is such a trouper, she came back and wowed everyone with her second dance.

But I really will be happy with whoever wins. 

Helio is a strong contender and could very well be this year's champion.

I just love this show!! Live entertainment!  Gloria Estefan this evening as the special guest!  Sure wish Clay would sing on DWTS at some point.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on November 13, 2007, 08:53:24 AM
Prissy - did you see Entertainment Tonight yesterday? Donnie said that he and Marie are "in talks" for a possible return for their show! I do like her, but she does not deserve to win this competition - I hope she won't leave tonight, though!



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 13, 2007, 10:08:08 AM
Frankie,

I don't think Marie is the best dancer, but she is such a great personality!  I would love to see her with Donny on a Variety/Talk show.  Of course, I think this is what Clay has always wanted for himself, too.  It would be great if Donny and Marie would have a Christmas Special.  There's probably not enough time to have one this year, but I think lots of people would enjoy it. :clap

One Christmas, PBS had an Andy Williams Christmas Special with clips from all of Andy's Christmas Shows.  The Osmonds were on and Andy singing with his brothers and clips with Andy's family. 

I have seen Donny on ET and The Insider.  To me, ET and The Insider are almost the same show.  I think Donny predicted that Jennie would leave on ET, then predicted that Helio would leave on The Insider.  Then Helio showed up and surprised Donny!   :blush

I predicted Jennie would go home, but it could be anyone!!! 

:wheee   :wheee   :wheee   :wheee

PS:  Marie has joked about making a Marie Doll with the blue outfit she had on when she fainted!!  The doll wouldn't have a stand so it could fall over!!  :lol I thought maybe she had created such a doll, and I've looked on her doll site!!   Haven't found one!  So maybe it was a joke!!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on November 13, 2007, 11:18:42 AM
Prissy - Marie is not kidding about the dolls (she may be kidding about the doll falling over part, though!  :lol ) She is selling DWTS dolls on OVC with each of her costumes from the show - I posted about that on one of the previous pages - they still did not have pictures of the dolls up the last time I checked QVC, though - they were just taking orders on the first doll.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on November 13, 2007, 03:22:01 PM
The reason that Helio is my favorite is that he is more "out of his element" than Mel (or any of them).  She has dancing experience with the Spice Girls, so I feel she has more of an unfair advantage.  She has even choreographed some of the Spice Girls routines.  This makes me wonder why poor Sabrina was voted off for being too experienced. :rolleyes Even Jennie, Cameron, and Marie have "stage" experience.  I like to root for the underdog, I guess. :lol

It does make me wonder how they choose their celebrities.  They certainly don't all have equal dancing experience.  I guess that is what make this so interesting.

I still really love this show. :wink

I agree Deanna and I feel as though Helio has less of a fan base.  I still can't wipe that smile off my face when I watch him.. What an infectious happy person he is.  :shappy :bigsmile  I also hate to admit that I find people i know voting for mel and Max just because of Max.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: KSChristian4Clay on November 13, 2007, 03:38:16 PM
I guess I'm at the opposite end. I am know rooting for Mel and Maks. I couldn't quite see why Helio and Julianne got a perfect score last night.  :para I was watching his feet ... I'm by no means an expert but he looked a little off. I am rooting for Mel and Maks not because of Maks, but because I think they are the best of the remaining contestants.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on November 13, 2007, 06:23:56 PM
PRISSY, oh how I loved Emmitt Smith.  I can still see that wonderful smile in my mind!!!!  I also would like to see Donnie and Marie have a show.  Some talk and a lot of Clay singing!!!!  THey both sure don't look their age. 

Well I see Marie is not leaving and although I like her very much her routine last night was the easiest.  Not fair.  I bet it is going to be poor Jennie leaving, bless her heart!  What a sweetheart she is. 

I am still not as into it this year as I was with Apollo and Emmitt.

Good Evening!

I am at the computer in Skip's home office watching the Results Show.  As I thought, Helio and Julianne had the encore dance!!  Lots of energy in that dance.   Helio's yellow suit and hat still reminds me of Jim Carrey's outfit  in THE MASK.

Gloria Estefan is singing a Latin number with two couples dancing;  upbeat rhythm;  Gloria has come down to the floor and is dancing, too!

Samantha is talking now to Ryan and Helio and their dancing partners.  Samantha also reveals that DWTS has been nominated for a People's Choice Award.  Vote in the Best Reality Show category!!

Marie and Jonathan are safe!!  :dance

Samantha talks to Jennie and "Scary Spice" Mel!

Jimmy and Guillermo interview Tom about his two shows DWTS and Funniest Home Videos.  (Not too funny!)

Macy's guest dancing group is dancing now.  The dancing in this part of the show has not impressed me that much.  I'm sure it's good;  just not my "cup of tea." :para

 :wave Pepe



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 13, 2007, 07:01:29 PM
Now, we are getting to know each of the professional dancers.  Maks, Julianne, Jonathan, Edyta, and Derek.

Gloria Estafan is singing again!  What a great entertainer she is.  Maks and Julianne are dancing and another couple:  Tony and ? 

Helio and Julianne are safe!  :dance

Mel and Maks are safe!  :dance

Eliminated tonight.

Prissy, I think it was Sabrina's partner Mark dancing with Kym Johnson, anyone know if I'm right????  She had a short blonde wig on.
I really think the results are not fair, people are not voting on the best dancing, they are voting for other reasons.  I'm pleased Jennie stayed, I really thin she will now BRING IT!!!!!!!!!!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on November 13, 2007, 08:24:45 PM
The results went as I expected - maybe not as they should have gone, but as I expected. I thought either Cameron or Jennie would go - I just don't think they have as much of a fan base. I did not like the professional dances tonight at all - I guess they were technically good, but I did not enjoy the music, and therefore did not enjoy the dances. I just cannot predict at all what will happen this year - that is what makes it fun to watch!  I do agree that people should vote on the dancing, not on personality.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on November 14, 2007, 03:40:00 PM
I had guessed that Cameron might leave. :lol  I am not surprised.  I thought he did a good job, I just figured that Marie had more of a fan base.  I would like to see Jennie really step it up in the next show.  She has times when she is really good, but she has been inconsistent. I like to think of her as the "sleeper" in this season.  I keep wanting her to surprise us with a great dance.  I think she will need one to keep going. She might get my "most improved" award.  :bigsmile



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on November 14, 2007, 05:31:53 PM

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on November 14, 2007, 05:41:12 PM
I would love to see Jennie have a great dance.  When she is all dressed up she is such a beautiful woman.  I got a kick out of her when she said she liked the Results show and the drama of it.  Our little Jennie is really cut throat I think!!  :lol I liked the segment where they told the background of the dancers.  I notice during the results show they have been having Juliann dancing every week during exhibition I wonder why they aren't using Kim.

Hello!

I just found a great TV Guide site with pictures from DWTS.  By the way, Maks and Mel, with Helio and Julianne, are on the cover of TV Guide for Nov. 19-Dec. 2 (Double Issue).  Fold out the cover and there are Jonathan and Marie, Jennie and Derek, and Edyta and Cameron. More pictures and article inside  on pp. 10-16.  :bigsmile

I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures.  Jennie Garth is a real beauty and so elegant when she dances. 

Frankie,
I would love to see Clay on the cover of TV Guide again.  That might convince me to change my avatar!!!! :wink



I cannot even guess who will be eliminated this week.  It could be anyone!! No one is safe.   Next Monday and Tuesday we will be in Wichita for Clay's concert and will miss Monday night's show.  Only for Clay would I give up DWTS.   Hopefully, :cross my TiVo will record it;  so far it has not missed an episode! :thumb

 :sigh That was indeed a sad, sad results show for me. Poor Cameron, what are the voters thinking getting rid of such a handsome man and keeping Marie and Jennie in for the semifinals?!? I guess I should be used to disappointing results by now, but I almost don't want to watch anymore.  :bang
Helio has just got to win now, I also can't help smiling when I see him dance! Prissy, it did remind me of "The Mask" and I loved it!  :clap He's definitely the best dancer!  :bigsmile
I think he really surprised Julianna with that kiss! She clearly didn't want him to do it again on the encore, although I can't imagine why?  :wink
Prissy thanks for those pictures! My first thought when I saw them? "Oh MY GAWD is he gorgeous! :flame  :thud :goo
Mel B. should come in second, although I agree with you Deanna, about her having an unfair advantage, just like what I said about Sabrina. (I really just don't Maks to go!)

Hello!

I have been voting while "Samantha Who" was on.  I was able to get votes in on three phone lines;  I just voted online on this computer and now I'm going to the other computer.  I think Helio is great, but I am voting for Mel and Maks.    I really think it should be Mel and Helio in the Finals, but they were all so close with the judges' votes, it's up to the fans to make the decision.

 :wow  60 for Mel and Maks   and   60 for Helio and Julianne   :clap

I have a feeling that the entire state of Utah and of course all the Osmonds are voting for Marie!   She has done a great job, but it could be Jennie going home tomorrow.

I think that Helio and Julianne may be picked for the Encore dance.  Of course, they did the encore dance last week, so it could be Mel and Maks.  But I'm going to predict that it is Jennie and Derek for their first perfect score dance!!  :clap

~~sigh~~ PRISSY.  This is unfortunately a distinct possibility.  But, of course ,didn't the whole state of Texas and all of the Dallas Cowboy Fans vote for Emmitt Smith 2 years ago? :lol   Mario Lopez was by far the better dancer, IMO!  I believe there could end up being a parallel between Emitt and Marie's rankings when the show is finally over.

So, I guess what it is going to come down to is a popularity contest and who can outvote whom.  Which is a real shame this time around.

In the meantime, I'm hoping that Jennie and Derek (who BTW is also a native of the state of Utah  :wink) will at least have the opportunity to once again showcase their talents before they are voted off.  (Kind of their swan song???   :bang)

Tomorrow night's results show should be "interesting", to say the least!  :para

It is a bit of a parallel to Mario and Emmitt.   I was for Emmitt because he had no dance background and Mario did.  Yet, here I am for Mel and Helio is the one with no dance background.  And even Marie used to do dance steps with Donny and Marie.  None of them have had ballroom experience or previous knowledge of all the different steps they have to be taught.  So, in a sense, they are starting from square one.

My own personal opinion is that Helio, Mel, and Sabrina were the three who exhibited a natural ability and talent to dance.  It will be fun to see Sabrina and Mark  again this evening!


I forgot to comment this before!  Do you think the eyelashes can get any thicker on the gals??  Pretty soon they won't be able to open their eyes!! :lol

Also, remember in past years, the professional dancers usually stood by and did not speak too much when waiting for the scores or in the interview with Samantha backstage.  Now, they are getting to talk more and show their personalities.  We are getting to know the professionals  as well as the stars.

Sharon, can you take any more Maks?  :thud  :wow :hot2

Did anyone else see Cheryl Burke on Good Morning America this morning?  (I still want her body and her haircut in my next life). As a two time winner, they were asking her opinion. She said, that as a dancer, Mel deserves to win, but that Helio is so likeable that he has a real shot at winning - she did say that she thinks it is time a woman won. She also said that as far as dancing goes, Marie should be the one to go tonight, but that with her fan base, she doesn't think that will happen - she thinks Jennie will go.

Post by: Prissy on November 20, 2007, 08:21:25 AM
Frankie,

I did see Cheryl on GMA.  Interesting perspective from a professional dancer.  I just hope :cross that it is Mel and Helio in the Finals.  Then, either one is deserving to win.  I will be a little distressed if it is Marie and Helio in the Finals or Marie and Mel.   But you just can't predict how the vote will go and Marie is extremely popular and all over the entertainment shows and with Donny being a correspondent for The Insider and ET.

I agree Prissy, Thea I think Mario probably was the better dancer, but for me he had the bigger ego also, that could have influenced many votes.
I seem to always like the underdog, which IMO this year will be Helio, as I really hope it's Mel and Helio in the finals, partially so I can still look at Maks :bigsmile :lol

Can someone tell me why Mel B. keeps pinching Tom on her way off stage, I have found that odd, and a bit annoying.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 20, 2007, 01:18:16 PM
Sharon,
Now, you know you want me to keep posting those Maks pictures!! :slick  :thud

I think Mel is really playful and likes to joke with Tom!  I think Tom kind of likes it!!  What was shocking was when Maks pinched him, too.  :para :shock

I think Mel is the best gal dancer;  only Sabrina could compare with her.  Helio is the best male dancer.  If Helio wins, I will be happy.  If Mel wins, I will be happy, too.  If Maks wins, I will........oh, right!  He's one of the professional dancers!! :lol

Can't wait until tonight!!!  I think I will watch and post like I did last week.  Avril Lavigne  as guest singer! :eek  When they could have someone the caliber of Clay Aiken!!!!!    Somehow I don't picture her audience as the DWTS audience.  I really should reserve judgement until after I hear her sing.

I really think Marie should be the next to go, but as everyone else has said, she has a large fan base which may pull her through another week.

I'm leaving work for home now, so I guess I'll be watching the results show tonight.  I'm off of work for the rest of the week.   :purpbana

I'll need the time to get ready for Thanksgiving.  We have some friends joining our family for the our Thanksgiving dinner. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Me, too!! :pickme      :lol

I have always seemed to like the underdog.  I know I rooted for Emmitt because I thought he did much for the world of dance.  He proved that a big, strong man could look great on the dance floor.

I rooted for Apolo, too.  I thought he proved that a small, athletic type of man could look great on the dance floor.

Now, I am rooting for Helio.  I think he proves that even a race car driver can look great on the dance floor.

I hope all of them have convinced men, of all walks of life, across the country to give dancing a try.   :clap

I like Marie as a person but am getting a little tired of all the publicity she gets.  With Donnie on ET all the time he is always talking about her.  I don't think the voting public votes fairly they vote who they like best not the most improved dancer. 

Marie should go but I see she didn't.

 :wow

 A real "nail biter" of a show!!!! :shock  I was afraid Mel and Maks or Helio and Julianne were going to go!! :eek

Do you all realize that Marie Osmond may win this competition!!!  I think if she does it will be the first time one of the best dancers has not won.   I really like Marie, and she is a good dancer;  it's just that others are better.  I hope that if it does happen and Marie is in the Final Two that if she is with Helio, all of Mel's fans will vote for Helio ( I would), and if it is Marie and Mel, all of Helio's fans would vote for Mel.

I really enjoyed the Lord of the Dance performance;  such precision!!  I am not a fan of Avril Lavigne but I really enjoyed seeing Sabrina and Mark dance again.  Just watching them I realized again who the finalists should be:  Helio, Mel, and Sabrina.

Jennie was such a classy lady!  I'm glad she made it as far as she did.  And :clap that she got to dance the encore.

Did you all catch that Maks said Mel deserved to be in the Finals because she has a natural ability to dance?  :bigsmile

In my next life I want to come back as Julianne with her looks and personality and than i will dance with Max!  I really hate to see the show end, wished it would start over again with new dancers. A year round DWTS show!!!



Pepe,
I am going to miss DWTS when it is finished, too!  But they keep us wanting more by not having it too often.  I think Julianne is the break out star of the show:  looks, personality, and she sings as well as dances!! 
Of course, Maks is the new hearthrob for lots of ladies!!!  :thud


Only three remain:

Melanie Brown & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
       

Marie Osmond & Jonathan Roberts


Helio Castroneves & Julianne Hough

Things went as expected - I just love this show. After Idol 2, I promised me that I would not get involved in a show again, and now I have (I always watch Idol, but since Clay I have not cared who won!). I still am not voting,  but I may have to start next week. I agree with Prissy - I was good to see Sabrina dance.

Sorry Marie fans but I did really want her to go last night.  I always liked Marie thought she was a nice person but frankly I don't like her as much as I once did.  The spotlight seems to be on her a little to much for me.  With Donnie on ET always talking about her and her almost too bubbly personality it is like the whole show is about her.  This is a dancing competition and she has done well but not that good to still be there.

Hello!

I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving.  We are leaving Monday morning for Clay's Concert in Wichita, Kansas, so I will miss DWTS Monday night.  We will have the laptop with us so if we can get on the Internet I will be voting and may get to watch the show, too.

I will vote on line and by phone if I have the right phone number.  I think that Mel and Maks have had the same voting number for a few weeks.  But I hope someone will copy the number down and PM me or post their number here.

I just have to say it!!  Here's hoping Marie is eliminated this week! :cross

Thanks, Pepe!

I'm sure we will really enjoy the Clay Christmas Concert.  Clay's Christmas album is my favorite of all his albums.  Yes, Marie must go!


Frankie,

Here is the link to DWTS where I vote on line.  Also, I noticed you can watch a whole episode there, too.  So, after Clay's concert on Monday, hopefully, we can get the laptop hooked up to the Internet and I will watch Monday's show.  Tuesday, I should be able to see it in the lodging room.  Wednesday morning we will head home.  We didn't want a long drive on Monday and then one on Tuesday, too.

Are the Finals on Tuesday of this week?  I must check the TV Guide.  I'll return!
Tuesday, Nov. 27 is the Final for this season, two hours.    All the contestants for this season will be there.  I will be watching from our room in Wichita.  Hopefully, the TiVo will record it for me, too.

Here is the link again to DWTS:

Well was disappointed in the dancing tonight.  Expected better.  I did not care for Mel and Max's freestyle dance, hated Marie and Jonathon's so called free style dance and thought Julianne and Helio were great in both their dances but somehow they ended up second.  How did that happen.  Just my opinion naturally!

SHIRLEY and SHARON.  I so agree with you about tonight's show.  The word I think best describes it is "anticlimactic".  What the heck?  We were building up to a huge finale and what  happens?  Not a whole lot.

Marie and Jonathon's "Doll" routine was just ridiculous and pointless. It was so obvious that she was playing mind games with her Doll-fans.  IMO she sacrificed whatever integrity she had left as a dancer simply to promote her doll empire.  To say I was disappointed with Marie Osmond this evening would be the understatement of the year. 

I'm absolutely torn between Helio/Julianne and Mel/Maxim.  I'm just afraid that so many people are feeling the same way, which means they could end up splitting their vote.......and then who will end up winning????  Marie Osmond.  AARRRGHGHGHG!   :bang

I like Helio! I admit I haven't been a devoted watcher, just the "flip back and forth" type. But I think Helio is great, partly because he's a race car driver :bouncy He puts his all into it and though he takes it seriously he isn't afraid to take chances and make fun of himself. I like his attitude and his smile and his dancing is pretty good. 

Mel has been good but I just haven't attached myself to her, I suppose I'm biased because of the whole "Spice Girl" thing :rolleyes

I thought Marie was doing pretty well and holding her own until the doll thing tonight. That was just a hot mess :blink I think it was a disservice to her fans that have kept her in this all this time.

Good Evening!

We just returned to our room from Clay's Christmas Concert.  It was fabulous and I will post more in the Wichita thread.  During intermission, I tried to vote for Mel and Maks!!  Yes, I'm sitting In the auditorium of the church punching away on my cell phone! :lol  Busy line during those few minutes so I was unable to vote by phone, but I just got 5 votes in on the computer! :thumb

I went to my DWTS thread to watch tonight's episode but it is not available yet.  I don't know what all happened tonight, but based on recent dances, it should be , in my opinion:

1. Mel and Maks

2. Helio and Julianne

3. Marie and Jonathan

Well, I have to agree with you gals!

I was really looking forward to the dances, especially the freestyle, and I was disappointed! :cry

I felt really bad when Helio missed the steps in his first routine.  I wonder if he was really nervous. :shrug

I actually agreed with the judge that said he expected more from Mel's freestyle.  Somehow, so did I.  I love Maks, but I am not sure I liked the choreography this time around.  :tomato

Marie's freestyle was just a big advertisement that was poorly done.  :para :rolleyes

I do think that Helio's freestyle was the best dance of the night!!  :clap :clap  I have to give him credit for doing those lifts.  :bigsmile

I hope Helio can still pull off the win, but if not, I do hope that it will be Mel and Maks. :cross

Was watching GMA this morning where they replayed Marie and her mouthing off.  I really did like her when the show started but the more I hear her big mouth last night I don't like her anymore at all.  She seems like she has to be the center of attention all the time and sorry I don't like that.  I will be happy with Helio or Mel.  Although in the future I think it would be a more fair contest if they picked people that had no entertainment experience in any kind of dancing.  Like Emett Smith and Appolo and now Helio.

I have been reading that there were issues with the phone lines and because of this it could mean a win for Mel and Max..  I am not saying that they don't deserve to win but of most of the people that I talked to they wanted Helio and had tried voting for him but couldn't get through.  I also googled on line about this and I don't like what I have been reading..  :bang How can all of the people that I know that tried  to vote for an hour and a half and not get in???????   Something is fishy and I don't have good vibes about it..

Marie my be a nice person but she does not deserve to win.  I also think she should have listened to the judges and kept her comments to herself..

I have been reading that there were issues with the phone lines and because of this it could mean a win for Mel and Max..  I am not saying that they don't deserve to win but of most of the people that I talked to they wanted Helio and had tried voting for him but couldn't get through.  I also googled on line about this and I don't like what I have been reading..  :bang How can all of the people that I know that tried  to vote for an hour and a half and not get in???????   Something is fishy and I don't have good vibes about it..

Marie my be a nice person but she does not deserve to win.  I also think she should have listened to the judges and kept her comments to herself..

Tammy,  gee this story sounds familiar with the phone lines.  I started to vote on the phone at 8:00 pm and non-stop until it stopped at 9:30 and nothing.  :bang :bang :bang :bang :bang  very frustrating.  As far as Mel and Max way to cocky for me but yes she is a good dancer but to me Helio did great dancing and he just makes me smile with that sweet personality.

Yes this does remind me of voting for Clay and none of my votes getting through. I do believe they should have had more phone lines for the contestants.. This would be a shame if this affects the win.. :bang :bang :bang

I am glad that Helio and Mel were the Final Two.  It would have been difficult to see one of them in third place and Marie in second or as the winner. 

I did want Mel and Maks to win.  I think Mel was the best and most consistant dancer, but I am happy Mel and Maks made it all the way to second place.  After all, second place is not so bad! :wink


I did get to watch Monday's show this evening before the Results Show.  I think if Marie had let her "doll" be stiff only at the beginning, then really start dancing some difficult steps, it would have worked better for her.
Also, Mel and Maks tried some really unusual steps in their Free Style and I think it worked against them.

I am going to miss this show till it starts up again!! :cry

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread!!

At first I thought Mel should have won, but as I read some of the posts here, I think that the people who said Helio should have won because he represents what DWTS is about were correct IMO.  If you think about it, Mel had to do a lot of dancing routines as a Spice girl whenever they toured.  They had to have a choreographer working with their group.  Helio was a race car driver, and you could tell he worked hard all season long, and you could really see him turning from a non-dancer into a dancer.

So, I guess there will be another season of DWTS.  It's really popular, so that means it will be back.

Have a good night.

But if the show didn't want the others on there, they wouldn't have put them on the show.

I was rooting for Mel and Maks. They make me smile. If it couldn't be Sabrina and Mark, it had to be them.

:wave Hi Prissy, Sharon, Thea, Frankie, Pepe, Meesa, Tammy, Lorraine, Sasha, Alyse, and Debbie. :wave (and anyone I inadvertently missed)

I have to thank Prissy for all her work here.  And I have to say that I truly enjoyed all of our conversations here. 
:thanks DWTS gang for sharing your thoughts and making this season more fun for us all. :hugs

I wouldn't share this with just anyone, but you gals can keep a secret, ...right??:

I confess to having "leaking eye syndrome" when they announced Helio as the winner and that look of pure joy came over his face.  :blush :blush

Some random thoughts on the show:
I find it amazing that a youngster like Julianne is a two-time champion.  She is just amazing!! I love her routines.  She somehow finds just the right combination of "technical difficulty" and "cutesy fun" routines!!  :clap :clap

I love Maks, but I want to see him inject some levity into his routines next season.  I think that would garner him more votes.  He looks really serious about his dancing all the time.  I think he is probably more "fun" than he sometimes appears.  (But he is still not bad to watch :wink)

I want Edyta to get better costumes. :rolleyes

I want Cheryl to get a younger partner next year.

I want Derek Hough to give his sister a run for the money.  :bigsmile

Well, enough rambling!! I hope to see you all (and more) here next season!!!!

:thanks Thanks to all of you for the enjoyment this season!!  :clap :clap :clap

Deanna,
Maks always made me smile and it was because he was so playful and funny.  I know he could get that serious look sometimes, but he always had a big smile afterwards.  I believe when he is teaching he is serious and that's probably why Mel and Maks could learn a routine in 6 hours while the others took 20 hours. 
They always had some humor in their dances and I loved how they "picked on" Tom after the judges gave their comments.  If Maks is not on next year, DWTS will lose it's major draw as far as I'm concerned.  I hope they throw a pile of money at him and he decides not to go back to Russia.
Also, Maks came to the US with his family from Russsia when he was 14, only 13 years ago.  i think he still has some problems with English and understanding some of the questions thrown at him;  especially when they are meant to be sarcastic or funny.


On GMA were the winners, Helio and Julianne plus ???Cameron, Edyta, and Derek???  And Cameron and Edyta danced after Helio and Julianne.  Excuse me, but Mel and Maks were the second place winners.  They should have been there dancing.  They did have a satellite feed of Mel and Maks from California.


Food for thought:  Why does it bother some so much that Samantha and Mel had some dance in their background, but it didn't bother us that Clay, Ruben, and ohers had a lot of experience singing, practically professional, in AI2?


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on November 28, 2007, 05:17:14 PM
Oh such sad news when I heard Maks say he wouldn't be on next season because he missed his mama.  How sweet was that for this hunk saying on national TV he is a mama's boy!  Love it.  I figure if he leaves now for Russia he has many months to visit with mama.  It is a long time till the next season.  To long!!!  Why can't the show be on twice a year.  Ten weeks out of a year is to darn short.

I also caught the last two minutes of ET where Julianne said she just got a recording contract with Universal and will be recording a country album!!!  How can you be that beautiful and that great of a dancer and sing that good too!!!  Amazing!

Helio is no longer engaged.  I really don't think he and Julianne are a couple, but maybe it was too hard for the fiance to see him dancing with a cute young blonde!

For Helio fans:

Quote
Only hours after capturing Dancing with the Stars' fifth-season mirror ball trophy with professional partner Julianne Hough on Tuesday night's live finale broadcast, Castroneves surprised the public by confirming that although he had repeated publicly boasted otherwise, he and Vazquez, a Cuban fashion designer, had secretly ended their six-year relationship during his Dancing with the Stars' run.

"I can confirm that Aliette Vazquez and I have called off our engagement and are no longer together," Castroneves said in a Wednesday statement that appears to have been prompted by a prior Wednesday disclosure from Vazquez.

Also, this evening I watched a Jimmy Kimmel rerun.  Mel B was on and had just started rehearsing that week for the show.  She had not heard of Wayne Newton and did not know any of the celebrity dancers.  Jimmy predicted that Helio would win and that Marie would be the second to go home.

I remember reading that some people thought Mel had an advantage in the competition due to her experience performing (and dancing) with the group she's in.  Would Celine Dion be handicapped slightly for the same reason?

Have a great day everyone.

The Christmas Special was disappointing, in a way.

DWTS dancers for next season will be announced on the DANCE WARS show this evening.  I'm hoping Tiffany or someone else will make note of who the dancers will be.

This notice was in my newspaper yesterday:

Dancer to sit this season out.  When the much-anticipated sixth-season Dancing With the Stars casting announcement is made on Monday's Dance War finale, one name missing from the roster will be that of pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy.  The 28-year-old, who took celebrity partners, Lalia Ali and Mel B. to the finals in back-to-back seasons, is taking some time off, his rep confirms in People.  In December, Chmerkovskiy told People that he was feeling burned out after the show's grueling schedule. "After coming down from two seasons back-to-back, 10 weeks each season --14 weeks, if you count all of the rehearsals--it puts a lot of pressure on a person and it takes its toll," Chmerkovskiy said.

I first read that Maks was not going to be back, then that he had changed his mind.  I hope this is "old" news and that he will be back this season! :cross

Prissy - I hope the article is wrong about Max, but you can see what all of them would need time off.

Thanks Sara. It starts on March 17th. If I find a list of their dancing partners they are paired with I'll post that here. That will be announced on GMA tomorrow. I heard Adam Carolla will be paired with Julianne.

Your welcome Tiffany!  I was bored so I thought I would just post it for you.

Post by: Prissy on February 18, 2008, 07:53:30 PM
Sara,
Thanks for the list.  Some of the names I recognize;  some I don't.  So no Donnie Osmond or Celine Dion. 

Frankie,
I will try to watch OPRAH on Thursday.  That may be my last time to see Maks! :cry

Tiffany,
Thank you, too, for keeping up with DWTS.  I will try to watch GMA in the morning, too.

Prissy ~ I'm going to miss Maks too. :cry
I think he was the best team dancer on DWTS.  I was surprised by the list.  The only one I really know is Pricilla Presley.

Let's hope for a good season.
It's always interesting.
I am so disappointed that Celine Dion and Donny Osmond is not going to be on but I think the reason is they are going on tour.

I know some of the names, but not all.  It should be a challenge for Marlie Matlin.  She is deaf, so I would think she'll really have to take the clues from her dance partner.  Hope this season is exciting.  I wish they didn't always have the token celebrities who you know are never going to make it because they have almost no dancing ability.  But I guess that's probably part of the point.  These aren't supposed to be people who have had a lot of dance training and we get to see how they improve each week.   I sure could never do it!!   :lol

Have a great day everyone.  Bye for now.

Debbie

Post by: Prissy on February 20, 2008, 06:23:33 AM
Charlene,

I heard on ET that she would use a special hearing aid to help her hear the beat of the music.  She will have to really follow her partner closely.

Good Afternoon!

I missed the DWTS Oprah show.  I was visiting a friend in the hospital.  I hope to catch the repeat of Oprah later tonight.  I hope someone will post about it.  Was Maks on the show??  :wink

Prissy :wave I missed DWTS on Oprah too.
Did you get a chance to see the repeat?
I was wondering the same thing, if Maks was on there too.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on February 23, 2008, 06:23:46 AM
Charlene,

I visited Jennie, JoAnn's mom in the hospital/rehab place, so I missed OPRAH in the afternoon.  Then I had an orchestra rehearsal and missed the evening repeat of OPRAH.  I stayed up late hoping there would be one more repeat of the show but there was not.

I don't think MAKS was on but all the new dancers and their partners and some past winners were on. 

I really should have set the TIVo for that show!  :doh

I'm anxious for the next season to start!! It should be interesting.  :clap :clap

For those who don't know, my second daughter is hearing impaired.  She can read lips and hear some tones and pitches.  She has the same tonal quality to her voice that Marlee does, but she speaks better.  Mostly because I think she can hear more than Marlee can.  She does have hearing aids but hates to wear them, so she never does.  :bang  She seems to get by without them. :shrug

There are a few on this year's list of celebrities that I am not too familiar with.  :para

I think that the "girls" look like a stronger group this year.  :bigsmile

Hello!

Good to see all of you joining in on the DWTS thread.  I have orchestra practice every Monday evening so I am TiVo ing DWTS and The Bachelor.  I haven't watched yet.  I imagine there will be some standouts and some not so great!!

:dance

It just won't be the same for me without Maks!! :cry  Last year I started out voting for Mark Cuban (billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks) because I didn't want him to go home right away.   Then I discovered Maks and Mel and really enjoyed their dancing and antics.  Maybe a couple this year will strike me like that! 

EDIT:  I just watched tonight's show.  I thought Mario was the only one that was really good.  Maybe the others will improve. Jason and Christian show potential.     ??Steve, Adam, and Penn?? 

I'm going to predict that Penn Jillette will be the first man eliminated and Adam Carolla, second.  Just a hunch!

The opening number with the professional dancers was incredible. 

Mel B. was in the audience.  Too bad Maks wasn't with her!  Maybe he will be back for a dance special. :wink


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on March 18, 2008, 02:24:43 AM
I thought Mario and Jason did the best so far.  :clap

It was interesting that the show chose to deal with Mario's dancing experience right up front.  I bet they were afraid that the same thing would happen to him that happened to Sabrina last year.

I think Julianne has her work cut out for her this season.  At least Helio was there to root her on. :wink

It will be interesting to see what the women can do.   :smile


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: geraldine on March 18, 2008, 05:36:28 AM
It was really exciting to watch DWTS last night.  It's going to be interesting to see the ladies tonight and see how they do.  I'm looking forward to seeing how Pricilla Presley does, she seems so shy.  I know it will be a good show as always.
Can hardly wait to see it.  Wish I could learn to :dance like the stars do. :bouncy

Post by: Prissy on March 18, 2008, 08:43:12 PM
I enjoyed DWTS tonight with the women and their partners.  The professional men dancers are so patient, gracious  and kind with their ladies. 

PRISCILLA PRESLEY has seemed so nervous whenever they've shown her on promos, I was really worried about her, but she did a great job and got three 8's (24), which was really good for her first time out.  KRISTI YAMAGUCHI was just about perfection and deserved her three 9's (27).

MARLEE MATLIN was amazing considering she could not hear the music.  It was really hard to detect if she was off the beat.

SHANNON ELIZABETH and  MARISSA JARET WINOKUR have potential and need more challenging choreography, in my opinion.

 MONICA SELES seemed very stiff and unnatural dancing. 

I predict that Monica Seles will be the first lady eliminated and maybe Shannon Elizabeth, second.  Just a hunch.  Shannon Elizabeth is not as well known as the others. Marissa Jaret Winokur's personality will probably get her more votes than Shannon.

Kristi was the most confident I thought and did the best.

I was waiting to see Pricillia and was pleasantley surprised how well she did.

I will be watching again tonight to see who goes.  I have no idea.  But I have a suspesion it will be a guy and a girl.

Really excited will this season's show.



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on March 19, 2008, 07:57:43 AM
 :wave Deanna and Charlene,

I don't think there is an elimination this week.  It would be nice if they could all dance a second time, and then this week's votes and next week's votes would be combined.

I noticed that Lisa Marie Presley was in the audience.  I am wondering if Priscilla and Marissa will lose some weight like Marie Osmond did with all the practicing.  But I noticed in TV ads that Marie is crediting a weight loss plan for her 40 pound loss.

Deanna,
I would like to see if Monica could improve.  Too bad someone has to go home right away before they get to practice more.




Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on March 19, 2008, 08:35:11 AM
Prissy - everyone is getting to dance a second time, and votes will be added together to see who will leave. Thanks for your recap - I think you are right about everyone, so I don't even have to give my opinion!  :lol

Post by: geraldine on March 20, 2008, 04:51:34 AM
Prissy- I did see Lisa Marie in the audience too.  It was good to see her there to support her mom.  I was wondering the same thing, if Pricilia will lose the weight as did Marie Osmond.
I think she will be on there for a while, so we will see if she does.  Boy, I hope I look that good at her age.
Thanks for always giving us a recap :hugg

Penn Jillette was on ET or The Insider (they're practically the same show) yelling how it was cheating to have Kristi Y. on DWTS.  He was ranting "Cheater, Cheater, Cheater!"  I would like to see Penn be the first one eliminated.  He is so distasteful.  Sorry, if he has some fans out there.

Marlee Matlin and Fabian Sanchez were guests on Ellen today and danced.  Marlee did a great job and Fabian really has a nice personality.  This was a very good match, in my opinion. 

Looking forward to next week's shows!  I am not voting yet;  still considering who to vote for.  And when I do vote, it will be online and I will probably split my vote among a few of the contestants. :dance

Prissy- I couldn't agree with you more. Penn is such a poor sport.  What an unfair comment about Kristy. I feel she is working just as hard as the rest of the stars on the show.  I'm sure he will be eliminated next week.

:lookie forward to watching DWTS this week too :dance

I am wondering if the huge fan base for Elvis Presley will help keep Priscilla in the competition.  Because  she did so well her first time dancing, she deserves to stay for a long while.

Usually, the ones not so well known go first unless they show that they have a real talent for dancing.  It's always hard to predict.  Sometimes DWTS becomes a popularity show instead of a dance competition.

Charlene,
Penn is just obnoxious, in my opinion.  I really would like to see him go first.  He was also a poor dancer, too. :yes

 :wave Sharon!

I just finished watching my tape of DWTS and voting online.  I get home too late from orchestra to vote by phone, but not for online voting.

I split my 12 votes up between Shannon and Kristi ,  and for the guys, Mario and Jason. 

I am predicting that Monica and Penn are eliminated on Tuesday, but you just never know!! :dance


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on March 25, 2008, 02:22:49 AM
I think both Penn and Adam talk too much.  :roflmao
I really like to watch Julianne dance, but I am afraid that we will not see too much of her this season. :shrug

I think there are a couple of men that could easily go, but I hate to see any of the women go.  Why does it have to be 1 man and 1 woman eliminated tonight?? 
Let's just send Adam and Penn home.  :lmao :lmao

I thought Monica was much less stiff than last week.  But I am afraid she is in danger of elimination. 
Kristi was just amazing--AGAIN!!  :clap

My daughter was over, so I watched part of the show, but had to watch the rest on tape.  I'm enjoying it very much, and thank the people here that turned me on to the show!!!  :clap

Here's  my take on last night:

Teams to beat:
Kristie and Mark (MY personal favorite)
Mario and Karina

Next level
Marlee and Fabian
Jason and Edyta
Shannon and  Derek

Middle of the Road
Priscilla and Louis
Cheryl and Christian
Marissa and Tony

Will go soon
Adam and Julianne
Steve and Anna

Gotta go
Monica and Jonathon
Penn and Kym

That's my humble opinion.

Also:

Most Improved
Cheryl and Christian
Shannon and Derek

You can't help but feel badly for the professionals that get "stuck" with some "jerk" or someone that is just not talented at all.  They all work so hard, it is obvious.

Other comments:
I am enjoying Edyta very much.  Not sure they will be in the top 3 though...too early to tell.

I like Monica.  She is a sweet person and was a great tennis player.  She admitted she has 2 left feet, but she seems to be trying hard, and said she really doesn't want to go home.  I think she will, though.

Marissa is just TOO much for me.  SORRY for those of you that like her.  She did much better this week, though.  She is lucky to have Tony.  He seems to be a great partner and so supportive of her.

Marlee is amazing to me.   :clap  For not being able to hear the music, she is doing SO well, and enjoying it very much, too.

I loved Steve's comment :  "This show makes the world a better place."  I so agree, because it brings joy to a great many people.  Will be  :bite to see the results, because you never know.   :no

Not much time to post - I have a grandchild here - but I thought everybody improved, and there is not anyone on this year that is really awful - I wonder which 2 will leave tonight?


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on March 25, 2008, 07:13:23 AM
Woody,
I agree with all your rankings. There are some very good dancers, mediocre, and then not so good!  (Yes, Penn, you and Adam!!)

Deanna,
Too bad it has to be one man and one lady, because I agree, Penn and Adam should be the first to go.

Frankie,
Have fun with Kaitlyn.  Did she watch DWTS with you?

I thought Shannon was the most improved and I voted for her 6 times because I felt like she needed the votes to stay in the competition.

Priscilla did so well last week, but looked a little stiff to me last night.  Something seems odd about her face.  I've heard inklings that she had plastic surgery.  It seems hard for her to make many expressions. :dunno


Did you see how strict Anna was with Steve?  She even talked back to the judges!! :shock Even her mom told Steve she was scared of her!!  And I believe Anna is married to Jonathan (Monica's partner).  Jonathan is very kind and patient.  He was Marie Osmond's partner last year.

I am  not a bit surprised by who left...but as some of you said, it would have been great to see how Monica could have improved.  I think she was very humble.

Prissy - I agree about Anna talking back to the judges.   :lol  I had no IDEA she was married to Jonathan.  And I agree about Priscilla.   She DOES look "stiff".  I don't think she will last long.  She was good the first week, but I think the magic has worn off.   :wink

Looking forward to next week!!!

Post by: Prissy on March 27, 2008, 05:34:56 PM
Alyce,
Penn and Monica were the first two celebrities voted off.  Priscilla is still there but didn't dance as well the second time.

Shanna,
I'm not sure if Clay could handle all of the ballroom dance steps, but I would like to see him as a guest singer on the Results Show.  Usually, a guest is asked to sing on this show while some of the dancers dance to the song.

Do you all remember when Clay sang a lot of his Christmas album songs for the ice skating show?  I'm sure one of his songs, maybe "The Way," would be beautiful for a romantic ballroom dance!! :dance


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: geraldine on March 28, 2008, 03:45:53 AM
Prissy- Oh yes, that would be wonderful.  I have thought about it so many times. that Clay himself would be on the show and sing while the stars are dancing, especially the instructors of the stars performing.  Or even see him :dance next season :clap

Coming in to say I would love to have Clay sing on DWTS also but I read somewhere, I don't know how true this is but they won't let anyone that's been on AI to be on it. :bduh


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on March 31, 2008, 09:17:39 PM
Tiffany,

That's interesting that no Idols can be on DWTS.  Maybe there's some animosity because the shows are opposite each other on Tuesday's! :dunno

I believe ET said that Ashley Simpson might sing on DWTS!! :pullhair  :shock   With SPAMALOT, I know Clay would not be able to sing on the show, but he sure would be a much better choice than Ashley Simpson.


On this evening's show head judge Len was more critical than usual and of the better dancers, too.  Priscilla did so much better than last week and had a score of 26, I believe. Kristi had three nine's again for 27.  She was the top scorer and Marissa, the lowest.    The judges said they were not feeling a lot of emotion from Kristi, just really great technique.  That might hurt her in the long run.  The judges were tough on Mario tonight, too, especially Len who gave him a six!
Do you think I'm wrong that the judges were unfair to Marlee Matliin when they said she got off the beat a couple of times?  She is doing such a phenomenal job considering she is deaf, I really think they should cut her a little slack on being right with the music all the time.  She is on the beat about 95% of the time which is better than Adam and Marissa, in my opinion.

I am going to predict that the judges ask Priscilla to do the encore dance tomorrow. :thumb

I am guessing  that Marissa or Adam are eliminated tomorrow.

EDIT:  I was able to get in my 10 votes online:  4 for Shannon, 3 for Priscilla, 2 for Kristi, and 1 for Mario.  I think these four should stick around for a while. 


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on March 31, 2008, 09:33:32 PM
I enjoyed the show very much tonight - as usual, I have no clue as to who will leave - I think they are all doing well this year - no one stands out for me. I know Kristy is getting the high scores, but for me she is not the most entertaining.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on April 01, 2008, 02:19:54 AM
Some observations from the show:

Adam still talks too much.  :naughty   

Kristi is still one of the best.  I hope she "lets loose", tho.  :clap

Priscilla surprises me more each week.  :smile

I think the judges were hard on Mario, but his lack of practice did show this time. :cry

I continue to be impressed by Marlee, and I am glad that Samantha didn't shove the mic at her this week.  :blush

I think Adam might be going. :shrug


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on April 01, 2008, 11:11:03 AM
I'm still loving Edyta and Jason, although he didn't do quite as well as the Mambo last week :slick
Adam needs to stop talking~~I agree Deanna he needs to :zip
Mario, thinks he's a little better than he is, but Karina looked pretty hawt :flame
I still love Cheryl, but Christian is just not what I want to see, he's very handsome but a little goofy, doesnt quite fit the look :bduh I don't like looking at muscles that developed in guys arms JMHO He looked better last week in the suit.
Kristi just doesn't have the personality I thought she would, but a great dancer.  Did Mark put on a bit of weight from last season???
Prissy, I also think Priscilla will do the encore :wink she's just OK for me.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: woodstock854 on April 01, 2008, 11:32:57 AM
I thoroughly enjoyed the show last night.  They ALL stepped it up, IMO. 

Kristi is by far my favorite, and I think she has a chance to take it all.  Her skating skills have helped her with her dancing IMO.

I also thought Marlee, Steve, Christian, and Shannon were very good.  The rest were in between IMO.  I think Marissa or Priscilla should go.  I know many of you won't agree with me, but that is what I think.   :bigsmile


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 01, 2008, 11:59:28 AM
About Priscilla

I was not expecting much from her on DWTS.  But she has surprised me.  I think she is better at the sultry, dramatic dances.  I don't think we've seen her do really fast dances yet, like the quickstep and jive??  That should be interesting.

I am wondering if there are a lot of Elvis fans voting for Priscilla like the state of Utah and the Osmond fans voted for Marie last season. :dunno

I did hear on one of the ET type shows that Priscilla had a bad Botox treatment a few years ago with a doctor who has since been arrested.  That may be why her face looks puffy to me.


About Kristi

I have not seen a lot of her personality in her dancing yet.  Her technique is fantastic, and the judges are awarding her very high scores.  I think the years of skating are most beneficial to her technique. 


It's great to see all of you joining in and giving your opinions. 


But, the show seems to be missing something this year;  or someone!!

I know what you are saying, Prissy.  I think the dancers that come from some sort of acting background always do better with the "portraying a role" part of the dancing.  I feel like Kristi does hold back on some emotional level.  I hope she can lighten up and learn that part of the routine.  It would go well with her good technique. :wink

I forgot to mention Shannon in my earlier post.  I thought she did very well this week.  She sure does have a mile of leg.   :smile

I think I might have to watch Derek Hough more closely now that Max is gone.  :bigsmile

Hello to Sharon, Deanna, Woody, Frankie, Charlene,  Shanna,  Alyce,  Tiffany and others joining in!

I am enjoying DWTS even without Maks, but I still miss him!  I do like the new guy, Fabian, Marlee Matlin's partner.  He is the perfect match for her.

And even though I think  Marissa or Adam may be eliminated, you just never know how the voting will go!

I was surprised that Adam and Marissa were safe.  And I miss guessed the encore dance:  Steve and Jonathan!! :lol


It was interesting to see the other activities the stars enjoy, including tiny Kristi being able to eat a huge tub of hot dogs in record time! :shock 

Beth,
Thanks for the news on Derek.  He was on the show tonight so evidently the neck injury was not that serious. But it could have been and the hospital visit was a necessary precaution.

I thought the hobbies were real, too!!!  So Kristi really can't eat a whole bunch of hot dogs??? (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/Animations/hotdog.gif)
 I'm disappointed!  :para


Speaking of Kristi, the matchmaker said that Kristi and Mark were the best matched of all the couples according to a test she gave everyone.  Interesting because they have had the highest scores.  Tom, the host, said the matchmaker had not met the couples are seen them dance; all based on the tests.
I believe Adam and Julianne were the most miss matched.

I, too, was very surprised by the results.  I agree that Steve had the best attitude, and I do believe he is improving.  I was very surprised Marissa was not eliminated.  I guess there are many people out there that like her.  I just think she is a bit too much. 

As you know, Kristi is my favorite, and I think her personality will develop as the show goes on.  I actually think they are all doing better.  I am beginning to like Christian.   :wink

I just watched DWTS on the TiVo.  Always an enjoyable show.  And I believe 5 10's were awarded this evening.

Kristi and Mark (Deanna, I mean Jason!)  both had 29 points.  And Shannon one back with 28.  I think that Jason stumbled a couple of times and did not deserve the two 10's.  Yet, because Priscilla's foot came off the floor, they took away points.  It didn't seem fair to me.

I was able to vote online for Shannon, Kristi, and Priscilla.

I am guessing that Jason or Shannon will dance the encore dance tomorrow.  I still think Marissa or Adam will be going home. But you never know.

Shannon is becoming my favorite.  I hope she lasts for a while. 

:dance


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on April 08, 2008, 02:24:46 AM
Prissy, I am assuming you meant Jason (not Mark) in your post.  And you are right. Those couples all did a great job.  :clap

I think Shannon has that "lovely, long line" which really makes her stand out.  Kristi has that "technical perfection" going for her.  Jason has that "lightness on his feet" that is typical of an athlete, but uncommon in someone so tall.

Both Marless and Priscilla have that ability to "tell a story" and "portray a role" with grace.

Both Adam and Marissa are fun! They do make me smile.  :smile

I am enjoying this season more each week.  :clap

Deanna,

I did mean Jason!!  I am having trouble with names this year.  :scratch  I should check the list each time I post.

I agree with all your comments.  Priscilla and Marlee are good at portraying characters (good actresses).  I meant to mention that Marlee brought Carrie Ann to tears with her dance, it was so moving.  Yet, Carrie Ann gave Marlee an 8;  thought she would get higher scores.

All of the stars add something to the show, so it's hard to see someone go.  And they are improving.  Adam is so outrageous, you never know what he'll say or do.  Marissa is so bubbly.  It's hard to know who will go.

I'm glad this thread is here! I completely forgot to record the show, and I was watching the basketball game, so I am lost this week - I know they will show recaps tonight, though. I still don't have a favorite  "Star" this year yet - although Cheryl and Julianne are my favorite professional dancers.

 I think Kriste Yamaguchi is the best, but I don't think she gets the applause from
 the audience, like some of the rest do. Maybe its just me that thinks that.  I can't
 think of his name right now, But I do like the one that hurt his neck.   I do hope
 Kriste wins. I think she deserves it. I too wish Max would be there. carol

Eliminated tonight:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/02-8.jpg)
  ADAM CAROLLA & JULIANNE HOUGH

The couples remaining are:


MARIO & KARINA SMIRNOFF

JASON TAYLOR & EDYTA SLIWINSKA

CRISTIçN DE LA FUENTE & CHERYL BURKE

:dance :dance :dance


KRISTI YAMAGUCHI & MARK BALLAS

SHANNON ELIZABETH & DEREK HOUGH

PRISCILLA PRESLEY & LOUIS VAN AMSTEL

MARLEE MATLIN & FABIAN SANCHEZ

MARISSA JARET WINOKUR & TONY DOVOLANI

:dance :dance :dance :dance :dance

Priscilla was with Adam in the bottom two.  And Priscilla and Adam received the lowest scores of the judges.  Because Priscilla in a lift had both feet off the floor I think it cost her a point from each judge, and 3 points means a lot.

I have miss guessed the couple dancing the encore dance on Tuesday each time this season, so I don't think I'll guess anymore.  Tonight it was Adam and Julianne (and I wonder if it was because Adam was leaving??)  Last week it was Steve with professional dancer, Jonathan, and Steve was the one who left, so...........:scratch

Cheryl Crowe was the singing guest.  And two sets of small children danced and were very entertaining.

All in all, an enjoyable show.

I think Adam will miss Julianne, he said some really sweet things about  her, one I think was calling her 105 lbs. of angel, anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but that was very sweet :hugg

I agree that Adam was really sweet, such a gentleman.  I was glad to see that Pricilla stayed even tho she was in the bottom two.

Looking forward once again to watching DWTS next week.

Sharon and Charlene,

Adam was quite gracious at the end.  I also liked what he said about confronting a fear, like dancing on DWTS, and conquering it.  I missed what he said about Julianne.  I was already on the computer and also getting ready to watch BOSTON LEGAL.

I just finished watching my TiVo of DWTS.  Tonight was Latin night and half the couples danced the Samba and the other half, the Rumba.  The Rumba seemed to be a slower dance than the samba.

Here are the ranking and judges' scores for the dancing stars:

Kristi -29
Jason -27
Mario-27
Marissa-24
Shannon-23
Christian-23
Marlee-22
Priscilla-21

I'm wondering if it might be Priscilla or Marlee going tomorrow! :dunno

I won't even venture a guess as to who might dance the encore dance tomorrow! :no


EDIT:  I just voted online for Kristi, Shannon, and Mario. :thumb :dance


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: woodstock854 on April 14, 2008, 11:01:57 PM
I watched my tape, too, and fell asleep for about the last 15 minutes, so I had to rewind.

I think Priscilla has to go.  What the heck was that dance???   I don't pretend to be an expert by any means, but there was so little movement and so much posing to me.   :bduh

I still love Kristi, although she took a risk tonight and went for emotion instead of technique, and it still paid off.

The Results show will certainly be interesting.  :para


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on April 15, 2008, 02:29:30 AM
I thought some really tried to improve this week, like Kristi, Mario, Marissa, and Jason.

And some backslid a little, like Priscilla, Marlee, and Shannon. :cry

I thought that Marlee showed that they didn't get as much practice as usual.  But I can't help but root for her.  :smile

I think that Priscilla may go home, but I have really enjoyed her.  She is amazing for her age.  :clap


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 15, 2008, 05:43:55 AM
I agree that Priscilla's dance seemed odd.  Lots of posing and very little footwork.  She started out so well, but has just gone downhill.  I'm not sure that she and her partner, Louis, are connecting that well.

Shannon, also, didn't do as well and looked awkward to me.  I still gave her some votes, because as the weeks go by,  she has shown improvement.  Her height seems to get in the way of her dancing and Derek is just a smidgen shorter than her, too.

I meant to comment how much I enjoyed seeing Kristi's two little girls and her husband during the clip of her practice session.  "Vote for my Mommy."   :bigsmile

Derek Hough, Shannon Elizabeth Reportedly a Couple

Atlanta, GA 4/18/2008 08:00 PM GMT (FINDITT)

 

Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth are yet another pair on ABC's Dancing With the Stars to be romantically linked, according to reports Friday.

Elizabeth, an actress best known for her role in American Pie, was seen in Malibu on the beach, kissing and holding hands with Hough, her dance partner on the show.

Elizabeth, 34, was rumored to have had a boyfriend prior to joining the show and being partnered with the 22-year old Hough.

Elizabeth and Hough joins a list of partners that carried their relationships outside of the dance floor. Sabrina Bryan dated her partner, Mark Ballas, and Mario Lopez is dating his former partner, Karina Smirnoff, who recently denied romance rumors surrounding her current partner, R&B singer Mario.

Former champion Helio Castroneves denied reports that partner Julianne Hough was the cause of his separation, and Drew Lachey shrugged off rumors he had an affair with partner Cheryl Burke.

 :woohoo :hot2

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 21, 2008, 10:20:42 PM
I just watched DWTS and I really enjoyed it.  Most of the dancers are really improving.  Here is how the scoring went:

Kristi - 30  (First perfect score)
Mario - 28
Christian - 27
Marissa - 26
Shannon -24
Jason - 24
Marlee - 21

The western dance was so much fun.  I hope they willl have more group dances.  (Maks and Mel in 2 weeks!)

I'm thinking Marlee may be the one leaving.  She has done such a great job considering she cannot hear the music, but I think it's evident that not hearing the music is a definite problem in staying on the beat. (Maks and Mel in 2 weeks!)

Christian had his best dance and I think that he or Marissa will dance the encore dance. (Maks and Mel in 2 weeks)

Kristi is such a natural that it will be a shame if she isn't the ultimate winner of DWTS. (Maks and Mel in 2 weeks!)

PS:  Maks and Mel in two weeks!! :wheee :dance

Gee, Prissy, I think you forgot to mention that we get Mel and Maks in 2 weeks.  :lmao

It will be great to see some of the previous stars.  I like the idea of seeing Julianne and Apolo.  :bigsmile

Does anyone besides me want to see Christian in the bottom 2 just so Len will have to make good on his pledge??!!  :lol

I thought Kristi was great again!
I do like Shannon, but I can notice that she needs to have more hip movement.  I hope she can stick around and show us some.
Marlee is my hero, but I don't know if she will make it through this week. :cry

On the Results Show we got to see the Western Group Dance as the Encore Dance.

Ashlee Simpson was the guest "singer."  :bduh

The Macy's Stars presented the River Dancers.

And we saw two more pair of children ballroom dancers.


I think it was time for Marlee to go, but it was sad and she was quite an inspiration. 
Shannon and Derek apologized for their attitudes after their scores.  Shannon had cried and Derek seemed angry.  Derek had lipstick kisses on his face from Shannon.
Christian and Marissa were very happy with their scores and glad to be safe.

I think that Kristi should be in the Final Two, but I cannot guess who will be with her at that point! :dunno

Drama on tonight's DWTS.  Christian pulled a muscle in his arm and could barely finish his second dance.  The show went to commercial and then Christian appeared with ice on his arm and then left for the hospital.

Here are the judges' scores for both dances this evening:

Jason - 55
Kristi - 54
Marissa - 52
Mario - 51
Shannon -51
Christian -46

Head judge, Len, was not very generous with his points tonight.  For the first time Kristi got a score lower than 9, and it was an 8 from Len.

I am going to vote online, probably for Kristi and for Christian, who I think has really improved as the show has progressed.

One week....Maks....Mel!! :dance

Prissy - I hope you get TV Guide - this is the Sexist TV Stars Issue - even though he is not on DWTS this Season, guess who got voted the Sexist Dancer!  :lol

We went outside to work in the yard a little after QVC, and I missed the first half of DWTS tonight - I saw the last half and recaps, though - looks like everyone did well again - looks like Jason has really stepped up his game!

I still have no clue as to who will leave.

Oh - I called daughter Amy, who missed the show completely - she was so happy when I told her who the musical guests will be tonight - it took her right back to high school!  :lol

Frankie,

I do take TV Guide, but haven't opened my latest issue.  I will look after I get off the computer.   

Sharon,
I think Maks may be in TV Guide???   :shappy  :thud

EDIT:  Online, I didn't find Maks, but in the actual TV Guide, he has a small picture on page 46 with:

Sexiest Dancing Pro

47%  Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Runners-Up

Cheryl Burke
Julianne Hough
Derek Hough
Tony Dovolani


I forgot to mention that in the practice session clip with Shannon and Derek, Shannon commented to Derek, "You may be going home alone tonight."  :shock  Very interesting!!

I am going to predict that Shannon may go home tonight.  She was one of my early favorites, but she still seems awkward and "gangly" dancing, as one of the judges said.

Encore dance:  Maybe Marissa????

   SHANNON ELIZABETH & DEREK HOUGH

Marissa was in the Bottom Two with Shannon.

I liked Shannon from the beginning, but I don't think she showed as much improvement as some of the others. 


The couples remaining are:


MARIO & KARINA SMIRNOFF

JASON TAYLOR & EDYTA SLIWINSKA

CRISTIçN DE LA FUENTE & CHERYL BURKE

:dance :dance :dance


KRISTI YAMAGUCHI & MARK BALLAS

MARISSA JARET WINOKUR & TONY DOVOLANI

:dance :dance


Jason and Edyta danced the Encore Dance.


Deaf Leopard (sp?) was the guest singing group.  A Tom B. line:  "They were blowing more smoke than the judges!"  :lol
The professional dancers including Mark, Cheryl, Anna, and Louis, and ? ? danced with the first song.

The Funny Guy?, Len, and the football player that has been on DWTS rated the star dancers;  funny!

Before the Bottom Two were revealed,  Tom asked Christian about his injury and if he could continue dancing.  Christian said he needed surgery on his arm, but the doctor said the surgery could be postponed.  Christian said he wanted to continue in the competition.

I'm guessing that if Christian said he could not continue, there would have been no bottom two and Shannon would not have left tonight.  Just my own conjecture!

PS:  Maks...Mel...one week!!

PS2:  I was surfing channels during the breaks and saw the commercial with Maks in it.  He is dancing with Edyta, I believe, and another couple is dancing, too.  Maks' hair is in a pony tail and the commercial is for Jarod's Jewelry.  :bigsmile

PS3:  I did go back online to TV Guide and found this link to Maks, this  picture (and more), too:

Charlene,
I thought I heard Tom B. (the host) say that Maks and Mel would both be back, so I'm assuming Maks will be dancing with Mel (Melanie Brown, Spice Girl), his partner last year.

Sharon,
Now, you know we need a Maks "fix" every once in a while!! :wink

I was watching ET and Mary Hart was performing a marriage ceremony at the premier of MAID OF HONOR with Patrick Dempsey.  Evidently, a couple won a wedding ceremony.   Then there was a clip with Mary showing how the couple had dance lessons to prepare for their reception, and yes, who did they call on to teach them some steps................MAKS!!

Wasn't fond of Kristi and Mark tonight, too staccato or something :bduh. Jason and Edyta's tango was amazing, my favorite dance of the night :clap Edyta's costumes are just so good on her, what a ding dang figure :lol.
Karina and Mario (Poopy) :bduh were just OK for me, as were Marisa and Tony.
Can't wait til tomorrow night :thud

Post by: Prissy on May 05, 2008, 10:26:34 PM
I just watched the TiVo of DWTS.  The judges are so divided in what they see!!  Always an enjoyable show, however.

Rankings tonight:

Christian - 57
Kristi       - 55
Mario      - 53
Jason      - 52
Marissa   - 50

Christian was amazing dancing the choreography prepared by Cheryl.  Their highest score yet.  Joking, Christian said he should have started dancing with only one arm sooner!!

Tomorrow night is the 100th show and there will be returning guest dancers including Maks and Mel, Apolo and Julianne, and Mario Lopez and dancers from A CHORUS LINE.  Should be a fun show.

I'm going to predict that Marissa goes home tomorrow.

EDIT:  The online votes are always the same number as couples left;  last night, five.  I voted 4 times for Kristi and once for Christian.  I really feel Kristi should be in the Final Two.  I think the judges are being more critical of her lately, but I still think she's the best dancer.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on May 06, 2008, 02:17:53 AM
I have to agree, Prissy!  Marissa has done well, but it is her time to go.  The rest of the dancers are a step ahead of her now (pun intended :wink).

Len was right.  Cheryl deserves much credit for her choreography.   :clap  I don't know that their dances were my favorites, but they certainly were creative and well executed.

I enyoyed Kristi's first dance and Jason's waltz.  :smile  Mario's first dance was well done, also.

Tonight should be really fun.  :bouncy  It will be good to see Maks again, but I am looking forward to seeing Apolo and Julianne dance. :wink

Last night I was at orchestra practice and watched the TiVo of DWTS.   Tonight, I am going to a dinner so I will have to watch a TiVo again.  You will all get to see Maks, oh, the other dancers, too, before I do!! :cry

They are really trying to make the Results Shows as interesting as possible, in my opinion.

Can't wait till later!! :dance

Mario goes home.  I'm not shocked.  I think he was very popular the first few weeks, and then it died down.  What a week.   :doh


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: claydevotee on May 06, 2008, 07:25:48 PM
After seeing Mel B and Maxx dance again, I have no doubt that they should have won last year.  They are magical  together!!!!

As to the results tonight, I'm especially happy that Edyta and Jason are still in the competition.  I think Edyta is one of the biggest (and most underrated) talents on DWTS.  I would rather not see her in those skimpy costumes, but she still is an amazing dancer!

As to Marissa continuing to the semi-finals, it's so obvious that she has a very well-organized fan base.  I'm wondering if her plus-size stature is bringing her a lot of "sympathy votes"?  Also, the fact that she is a cancer survivor?  Could be, IMHO.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on May 06, 2008, 07:40:09 PM
I am also surprised Marisa is still there.  I also feel that Mario comes off a tad arrogant, think that may have been his downfall :naughty
I loved seeing the top 10 judges choice dances, and Mario and Karina's tango was incredible :clap, but for me Apolo and Julianne have been the best matched couple to date.
Apolo and Julianne, and Mel and Maks were just incredible :clap :clap :clap
Maks is IMHO the best male dancer the show has ever had :thud :thud


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on May 06, 2008, 08:02:48 PM
I enjoyed seeing the dances from seasons past so much - this season has been good, too, but no one has really grabbed my heart this year. I think a lot of people just like Marisa's happy attitude - she seems to be having so much fun. But now the competition is getting to the place where it is hard to see anyone leave - they have all worked so hard.

Eliminated this evening:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/01.jpg)
   MARIO & KARINA SMIRNOFF

The couples remaining are:


JASON TAYLOR & EDYTA SLIWINSKA

CRISTIçN DE LA FUENTE & CHERYL BURKE

:dance :dance


KRISTI YAMAGUCHI & MARK BALLAS

MARISSA JARET WINOKUR & TONY DOVOLANI

:dance :dance


There was no bottom Two tonight so we don't know who had the lowest scores with Mario.  It could have been Marissa!


I enjoyed seeing in the first hour the favorite dances of the judges from the past 5 Season!  Yay for Maks and Mel winning the Number 2 position.  To me, no one has captured the magic of Maks and Mel. 

And what a treat to see Maks and Mel dancing live to the music of Rascal Flatts.  I really felt they should have won last year.  I was rooting for them most of the season and always voted online for them.

I hope DWTS throws enough money at  Maks that he comes back next year, but he needs another really great partner like Mel B.

I didn't realize that the first hour last night was going to be the Top 10 Dances from the first 5 seasons.  Wow! I truly enjoyed seeing those dances again!!  :clap :clap  It made me stop and realize what great dances we have seen.  I might have picked a slightly different top 10, but I think that the judges did a good job bringing back most of my favorite dancers.  :wink

I also thought that Marissa would be the one to go home.  Obviously, she does have a big fan base.  It will be interesting to see if she can do some dances that show she is worthy of being in the Top 4. It should be interesting next week. 

I saw the interview with Maks where he says that he thinks Krisit should win. It was interesting getting a dancer's perspective on this season.  And, yes, I enjoyed seeing him last night.  :bouncy

And, yes, I loved seeing Apolo and Julianne again.  I was amazed at the lifts in their routine.  :clap

What a wonderful show tonight :clap :clap they all danced so well, and deserve the scores they received :clap :clap
My favorites have been Jason and Edyta this year, and still are, although Kristie and Mark were so wonderful, I do think they really deserve to win.  I love how adverity made Cristian strive for being better, my hats off to him for a great attitude, and getting better thru it :clap :clap


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on May 12, 2008, 09:47:07 PM
Sharon,

I agree!  They have all really come far in their dancing.  I think Kristi is still the best and is being judged a little more harshly than the rest.  As the judges have said, her routines are more difficult than the others.

The rankings this evening:

Kristi - 57
Christian - 56
Jason - 55
Marissa - 52

I really think it should be Marissa going home tomorrow.  I am off to vote online for Kristi and Christian.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: woodstock854 on May 13, 2008, 04:44:15 AM

I don't dislike Marissa, and I think she's really improved a lot, but I hope it's Kristi and Christian or Jason in the Finals.  I'm "kinda" leaning toward Christian with Kristi.

If Kristi doesn't make the Final Two!  :bang  :pullhair

I think the judges were a bit lenient to Cristian despite his injury. I saw some mis-steps on his part last night. Kristi is my favorite. I do hate to see Marissa go if she's sent home tonight. She and Tony have done a good job this season. I can only imagine how hard it is to dance with that big difference in their height.

KRISTI YAMAGUCHI & MARK BALLAS

:dance


Again, there was no Bottom Two, so we don't know who got the lowest score with Marissa.  Marissa improved so much over the weeks, I believe she and Tony were very excited to get this far.  Tony seemed to genuinely be proud of and care about Marissa. 

The encore dance was the Tango by Kristi and Mark.

We saw the children dance again and professionals came to their practices to offer advice.  AND YES, I NOTICED MAKS WAS ONE OF THE DANCERS ADVISING THE CHILDREN!!!!  The little girl said, "He's so cute!!"  She has good taste!  :slick
Samantha announced that the dancing kids and their parents were all going to Disneyland!!
The 13 year old dancers were especially good and danced the paso doble (sp?) to "Phantom of the Opera."

The Macy's Special was a Michael Jackson Medley with a Michael Jackson wannabe and dancers.

Sharon,

That was so beautiful.  I hope DWTS bigwigs see that and realize what a smart move it would be to have Clay sing next season.

"Sacrificial Love" is in a waltz tempo (3/4) time and was just perfect for all the waltzes.  The person who put that together had the dancers right with the music!!  Just fabulous! :dance   :clap

 :bouncy :wave Hi I'm here! Just got home from work (sigh)..four more days before the weekend.

I don't know if any of you have seen So You Think You Can Dance? I always missed it whenever it was on but whatever old episodes I saw on tv, the dancers there were also marvelous.

The fourth season is starting on May 22nd and it would be great if some of the choreographers actually used some of Clay's new songs..especialy Sacrificial Love, that would be a great waltz piece..

Hi lucrezianoine.  :wave  How did you like DWTS tonight.  Did you get to see very much of it?


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: lucrezianoine on May 19, 2008, 06:22:58 PM
 :blush I haven't really been watching..I'm sorry!! Don't tar and feather me..I'm so awful when it comes to keeping up with the Reality shows. But I did see some performances on youtube..hmm I get the feeling they might choose Kristina? What do you think? She has the advantage of having had some experience from ice skating. Although Christian and his partner looks good as well. Gosh I can't decide.

DWTS hasn't shown here yet so I'm in the West Coast.

Wonderful show tonight :clap :clap :clap Even though my sentimental favorites are Jason and Edyta, I feel Kristi and Mark deserve to win after tonight, I applaud them :clap :clap and I also applaud the comradarie beteen the couples in the finals this yea,r they seem to be so supportive of eachother, and that just feels good :clap :clap

I agree Sharon.  I really liked the opening dance they all did.   :clap


lucrezianoine - No tar and feathers.   :slick 
Kristie does have the ice skating back ground, but this dancing is so different.  She had to learn to put her personality into the dances, and she did have the most top scores.   I really like all 3 top performers this year.  I will be happy with any, but I feel that Kristie will take the win.  Second and third place are up for grabs.

I will be watching So You Think That You Can Dance when it starts up.   :bouncy

Good Evening and Hello Sharon, Spikee, and Lucrezia!

Usually I have orchestra practice on Monday evenings and TiVo DWTS, but this evening we went to see our granddaughter in her Junior High Choir Concert.  Songs from the 70's, so it was fun and familiar!

I came home sick, and have not watched DWTS yet.  I think something I ate today disagreed with me.  I will watch as soon as the TiVo finishes recording THE BACHELOR. (Actually, I forgot I can watch something already TiVo'd while something else is being TiVo'd)

EDIT:  I just voted online for Kristi 5 times.  I thought we would be down to three votes! :scratch




Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on May 19, 2008, 09:02:36 PM
I just finished watching DWTS (and I feel much better.)  I really enjoyed the Cha Cha face off.  They all did well.  And the Free Style dances were all so different and fun.

I really think Kristi should win!  I gave her all my votes online.  I think either Jason or Christian will be fine in Second Place.

Judges' Ratings:

Kristi:  Cha Cha -30    Free Style-30     Total - 60

Christian:  Cha Cha-26  Free Style-26   Total--52

Jason:   Cha Cha-24    Free Style-27     Total- 51

I thought they are did a great job, but Krisit was definitely the best!  :bouncy Girl Power!  :bigsmile

I would like to see Jason and Edyta come in second place just for Edyta's sake.  :wink She deserves it after all her hard work on the show.  Cheryl is one of my favorites, but she is already a 2-time champion.  :smile

DWTS FINALE

The first hour tonight was a repeat of last night's show, and, yes, I watched it all again!  Can't get enough of DWTS!

The second part started with a song and dance routine by Usher.

Then it was announced that Christian and Cheryl had taken 3rd Place, and they danced the Paso Doble.

3rd PLACE
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/02-1-2.jpg)
  CHERYL BURKE & CRISTIçN DE LA FUENTE

We got to see all of this season's contestants dance again in order of their eliminations:

1.  Penn and Kim
2.  Monica and Jonathan
3.  Steve and Anna
4.  Adam and Julianne
5.  Priscilla and Louis
6.  Marlee and Fabian
7.  Shannon and Derek
8.  Mario and Karina
9.  Marissa and Tony

Usher performed another number with dancers.

Kristi and Mark danced their last dance, the Jive and scored 30 points from the judges and combined with last night's scores, they had a perfect score of 90!!

Jason and Edyta danced their last dance, the Quick Step and also scored a perfect score of 30 from the judges and combined with last night's scores, they had 81.


SECOND PLACE:

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on May 21, 2008, 03:03:41 PM
Kristi and Mark were on Jimmy Kimmel last night being interviewed by Guillermo.  It was funny because Jimmy would ask the question to Guillermo and he would ask Kristi and Mark,  except Kristi and Mark could also hear Jimmy!   :lol

This morning on GMA, Kristi, Mark, Jason, Edyta, Christian and Cheryl were all on the show.  And each couple danced and then danced with the GMA hosts including Diane, Robin, Sam, and Chris!

I really felt Kristi should win because of her consistant good scores and difficult routines.  I think what she brought from being an ice skating champion was the ability to learn routines quickly, being used to long hours of practice, and accustomed to performing before a live audience.

I was very impressed by Jason and Christian.  Both of them had no dancing background, but really improved as the weeks progressed.  I think the Final Three deserved to be there.   :dance   :dance   :dance

Looking forward to the next season and my favorite professional dancer returning!!  :wink

I'm very excited, too.  I just heard.  I guess I will have to tape the show since I will be back in school.  It will be good to watch a show on a regular basis again.  I hardly know what is on TV anymore.  I watched the Teen Choice Awards the other night and I didn't even know what half the shows were.   :bduh  They must be on cable stations I don't watch.

So  :yay  for DWTS!!!!!

I am familiar with Lance Bass, Toni Braxton, Brooke Burke, Susan Lucci, Misty May-Treanar, and Cloris Leachman.  I have heard of a few others somewhere.   :lol

I'm excited about Susan Lucci and Misty May!!!    :clap :clap :clap  I like them both a lot and hope they do well. 

I bet the show has become so popular that stars are asking to be on it!!!!  Well, we will see if this list is accurate. 

I am SO looking to have this show to look forward to.   :bigsmile
Woodstock :bouncy

P.S. Glad to be back, Sharon.   :hugg


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on August 22, 2008, 04:16:08 PM
Pepe,

I'm not that thrilled either.  I recognize a few:

Kim Kardashian is the former wife or daughter of one of the lawyers, now deceased, who defended O.J. Simpson  The wife is now married to Bruce Jenner, former Olympic gold medal winner and the family has one of those reality shows on TV.

Lance Bass is the young singer from Nsync who admitted he was gay a year or two back.

Brooke Burke I remember in the audience for AI2 and she was a fan of Clay.  Beautiful brunette

Susan Lucci plays Erica Kane on ALL MY CHILDREN and is 62!!  I like Susan and hope she does well.

Cloris Leachman played Phyllis on the old MARY TYLER MORE SHOW and has played the mother or grandmother on lots of TV shows including MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE

Ted McGinley was the good looking blond guy on MARRIED....WITH CHILDREN and I believe played the older brother on HAPPY DAYS that went upstairs once and disappeared!!


I don't know any more about the others listed.

I wonder who Maks will be paired up with.  I kind of hope it's Brooke Burke and not Cloris Leachman!! :eek

Woody,
I will post partner pictures as soon as they are available!!

Cody shot his first feature film as "Spit" in "My Dog Skip" at eight years old as following up with Miss Congeniality and Where the Heart Is. He has worked with an impressive group of world-class actors, including Luke Wilson (both in Hoot and My Dog Skip), Steve Martin and Hillary Duff (Cheaper by the Dozen), Kevin Bacon and Frankie Muniz (My Dog Skip), Ashley Judd and Natalie Portman (Where the Heart Is), Sandra Bullock and Benjamin Bratt (Miss Congeniality) and Jonathan Lipnicki and Eric Stoltz (When Zachary Beaver Came to Town).

Cody also takes occasional guest starring roles for Disney as he is filming several episodes of "Hannah Montana" as the TV star "Jake Ryan" and has done a guest star on "That's So Raven" as well.

He also has done several TV movies including "Beyond the Prairie 2: The True Story of Laura Ingalls Wilder," where he plays Laura's best friend and has shown his true Texan spirit, by appearing on episodes of "Walker Texas Ranger," starring Chuck Norris.

I knew I knew Brooke Burke from somewhere, so I looked it up.  She was the host of Rock Star, the reality show that ran two seasons.  I am sure many of you will remember that.  We will be getting to know these people up close and personal very soon.

Official Announcement:

ANNOUNCING...
IN A SEASON OF SURPRISES, THIRTEEN NEW STARS WILL SHINE AS DANCING WITH THE STARS RETURNS FOR ITS SEVENTH SEASON

The Three-Night Premiere Event Begins Monday, September 22

Two Couples Will Be Eliminated During the First Week of Competition

Jonas Brothers and Jesse McCartney Perform on Dancing with the Stars: The Results Show, Wednesday, September 24

Jimmy Kimmel Welcomes Maurice Greene to Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday, August 26

It will be a season of surprises in what promises to be the biggest and most demanding season ever as thirteen celebrities take the ballroom floor on the hit series Dancing with the Stars, which returns with a three-night premiere event, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on ABC. Each week, all new surprises and twists await viewers. Season seven marks the largest cast assembled to date, the oldest and youngest competitors ever, and includes two Olympic Gold medalists, a Grammy®-winning singer, a television legend, an Oscar® winner, and a Super Bowl champion. Additionally, all four professional dancers who've previously tasted the thrill of victory return to compete against one another for bragging rights. Can one of them reclaim the mirror ball trophy?

For the first time ever, all thirteen teams must prepare two routines for the first week of competition, one of which they'll perform on Monday night. The judges will score the performances on Monday while the viewers cast their votes for their favorites. Only twelve will have the chance to showcase their second dance on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 (9:00-10:0 p.m., ET). In dramatic style on Tuesday's show, one couple will be eliminated as the remaining contestants perform their second dance of the season.

Looks like an interesting cast to me!! :lol  Cloris is in her 80's and Cody is a teenager.  Wow!! Should truly be quite a season.  I was happy to see that Max got Misty for a partner.  I watched the Olympics and she is very athletic.  It will be interesting to see what they can do.  I would think that Lance and Toni would have a slight advantage when it comes to stage presence and choreography.  :wink

I think I'm going to try and watch the show this season.  Things were a bit busy for me when last season started, and I missed a lot of shows.  After that, I couldn't quite get into it.  This year sure seems to have an eclectic group of contestants!!  Should be interesting.

Have a good evening.

Proud dad Tony Dovolani posted a short, joyful message to
Fans about his newborn twins on his MySpace page Monday.
 
"The twins are here! They arrived early September 8th," wrote
The Dancing with the Stars pro, who was in the middle of
Rehearsals with his partner Susan Lucci when he learned that
His wife, Lina, was in labor. "Susan shooed me out the door
As soon as I got the call that it was time ... I was able
To be with Lina at the birth."
 
Son Adrian Driton Dovolani was born first, at 3:14 a.m.,
Weighing 7 lbs. Daughter Ariana Dovolani arrived 14 minutes
Later, weighing 7 lbs., 10 oz.

Post by: Prissy on September 09, 2008, 08:28:40 PM
For twins, the weights seem really good!!  Adrian and Ariana....beautiful names.


I don't think I knew Alec and Edyta were married.  They have been married a year.  I found this:

'Dancing' Partners Get Hitched in San Francisco
Edyta Sliwinska and Alec Mazo pair up off the dance floor
Share
September 4, 2007


Edyta Sliwinska and Alec Mazo are now dance partners for life.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/alec_mazo.jpg)


The "Dancing With the Stars" hoofers tied the knot in San Francisco on Saturday, Sept. 1, reports People.

Sliwinska, a Polish-born dancer who is listed as 25-28 years old depending on the source, and the Russian-born Mazo, 29, have partnered together on the dance floor for about six years. The couple had a joint bachelor and bachelorette party in Las Vegas in August.

No details about the wedding have been revealed, and both of the dancers' websites promise that photos will soon be posted.

Sliwinska is the only pro dancer to appear on all five seasons of "Dancing With the Stars." She previously partnered with Evander Holyfield, George Hamilton, Joey Lawrence and John Ratzenberger. Mazo partnered with first season winner Klly Monaco and later, supermodel Paulina Porizkova.

On the fifth season of ABC's dance reality show, which premieres on Sept. 24, Sliwinska will team up with "All My Children" star Cameron Mathison, while Mazo pairs with model-actress Josie Maran.

"DWTS" has been conducive to romance. So far, former competitor Mario Lopez has begun a relationship with dance partner Karina Smirnoff, and two-time winner Cheryl Burke has been dating actor Matthew Lawrence, the younger brother of fellow competitor Joey Lawrence.

(Remember, the above report is a year old.)

I just posted about the Dallas Cowboys winning in the NFL thread, turned on the TV in the office and there were Maks and Misty May on ACCESS HOLLYWOOD. 

I also watched Misty May and her volley ball partner win a championship game this afternoon.  I can't believe she is playing a tournament volley ball game with her first DWTS show on tomorrow! :shock  I hope she's ready. :dance

Just a few more Maks pictures:

It's after midnight and I just finished watching DWTS. (Orchestra practice on Monday evenings.)   Even skimming through the commercials, this was a loooong show, but so much fun to have on again.

Misty May reminds me some of Lalia Ali, Maks' partner a couple of seasons back.  She is very athletic and strong, but did pretty well.  Maks and Misty got a 6, 7, and 8, total of 21;  and the top score was only 23, I think.

I like Cloris Leachman but she was a bit of an embarrassment! :shock

Lance Bass seemed really good to me.

I was able to vote online:  12 votes for guess who? :yes  And one vote for Alex and Toni Braxton. :dance

It's hard to predict who may go home, but possibly the comedian (Jeff) and the chef (Rocco)??

Well, last night's show was certainly "live"ly.   :lmao

I think all the athletes did really well.  (Misty, Maurice, Warren for example)  The musical stars as well. (Lance, Toni for example)

A couple of the actors show potential (Cody, Susan, Kim)

This season should really be a GREAT season.

 :bouncy :bouncy

Oh my Mak's scruff just about did me in and those eyes of his just about do me in everytime!!!!  Hope Misty loosens up and does better.

I do think Cheryl has been eating to much this summer.  She has put on some serious weight I think. 

I am amazed that Brook can look like that after having four kids.  I am jealous!!!!!!!!!  Yep like they said she sure has a dancer's body!  Beautiful woman!!!!!!!!!!

Please oh please vote Cloris Leacman off, I don't think I could take her every week.  Why do comedians have to always make a fool of them selves.

I thought Julianne and her young partner was better than the scoring of 6's they got.

The first couple eliminated:

Jeffrey Ross
Edyta Sliwinska


I was at a meeting this evening so missed the first half!  (Should be TiVo'd) :thumb  I felt sorry for the couples who had to wait and wait to find out their fate.

It looks like Brooke and Derek are doing well by the judges.

I will have to watch the first half now and check out Maks, oh, Misty, too!  :wink

Was Cloris embarrassing again?  I will have to see!  :oh

Cloris was on The Bonnie  Hunt show last week. She climbed over the interview couch, combed the host's hair, swore like a sailor, and was pretty much all over the place. I'm sure she thought she came off as 'classically funny'. Too bad she really came off as 'completely insane'.  :bduh :hypno :bduh I was embarrassed for Bonnie.

Mark Harmon was on The Bonnie  Hunt Monday. Cloris used to be his neighbor and he'd find her in his kitchen all the time. He was very polite and sweet about it though he didn't mince words. He said she's a lovely lady but he's glad they aren't neighbors any more.

MICHELLE, it sounds like Cloris Leachman could be in the early stages of dementia.  I'd love to think that would explain her childish behavior.  I was really hoping she would be voted off this week. 

I wish Edyta could simply continue dancing solo for the rest of this DWTS season.  She is just amazing to watch, IMO!!!  I'll miss seeing her.

How is it decided which pro is paired with which star? It seems some always get the short straw. The producers have to know which stars are the most likely to be voted off in the first 2 - 3 weeks. It is such a shame for the pros who only get to dance a couple of times.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on September 23, 2008, 10:15:00 PM
I just finished watching the whole DWTS.

The ones who strike me as really doing well so far are Brooke and Toni.  For the guys, I like Warren, the huge football player.  He kind of reminds me of Emmit Smith a few years back.  For such a big guy, he is light on his feet.

I hope Misty May can loosen up.  She still seems lacking the emotion that Mel B. had with Maks.   I hope she will improve.

If I picked a winner now it would be Brooke with her partner Derek.

CLoris!! :shock  I hope she's not around much longer.  Kim K. just seems to be lacking so much;  no connection with what she's doing.

I like Rocco and Ted;  nice personalities.  Susan Lucci seems so intense.  I wish she could have more fun with it.

Cody and Lance are good dancers.  Len seems to pick on Lance!!


Michelle,
I wish that Maks was partnered with Brooke.  I don't know how they choose who dances with whom.  I'm sure we will continue to see Edyta in special performances on the show.

Hi all! :wave
I'm watching DWTS this year! :bouncy
Of course I missed the last hour Monday, (Prison Break and One Tree Hill won out. :bigsmile ) and I missed the first hour last night for Fringe and Privileged, so I missed Max :cry and Cloris both times, but from what I saw on the news of her swearing at the judges, I hope she's not around much longer, that just doesn't seem like apporate behavior to me, and not at all funny. :naughty :no
My favorites, that I voted for are Ted McGinley, (I liked him both nights,) and Rocco Dispirito, his dance tonight? Sexy! :thud
And I couldn't take my eyes off of Mark Ballas' over dancing with Kim Kadashian, he was hilarious! :roflmao

I am "watching" this year again, too, but haven't had time to sit down and watch every dance (I've missed Mak both nights!)   :para I guess I should have recorded the shows in hopes of watching them later (but I never seem to go back and watch shows I record!) At least I have watched the short recaps at the end of the shows. I have always enjoyed this show so much, but have never voted.  It must be wonderful to be able to move and dance like that - dancing is something I have never been able to do!

Michelle, I would love to know also.  It's usually pretty obvious who could do well!!!
Prissy, I think Edyta will also be featured in special dances, but, I feel this last year she has become THE best female pro, used to be Cheryl to me, she ans her amazing costumes will be missed.
Kelly, Mark always dances with enthusiasm, and I've always noticed his facial expressions when dancing are very distinct, but you are right he really over exaggerated last night


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on September 24, 2008, 06:33:10 AM
MICHELLE, you mentioned the same thing as I was wondering.  I am sure the producers of the show know who will not last.  They voted the wrong one off, I was hoping Cloris would have been the one to go. 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on September 24, 2008, 06:38:08 AM
I am getting where I really love looking at Alec also,  yep keep Maks and Alec on till the last and I will be mighty happy.  Do not care for the new female pro dancer Inna Brayer at all. 


I will certainly miss Edyta.  Always a pleasure to see her and the clothes she almost wears  :lol and love her husband Alec.  What a pair they make.

Shirley,

I agree about Alec.  He is certainly nice to look at and I love his curly hair.  He and Toni should go far in the competition.  I still like Maks and hope that Misty May will continue to improve.  Misty does not seem to show a natural ability for dancing, but hopefully, Maks will work his magic on her.

Edyta is beautiful.  Too bad she was eliminated so soon.  I guess when some of them get their celebrity partners, they realize that their time will be short.

I feel that Brooke seems to have a real talent for ballroom dancing like Kristi Y. did.

I hope Cloris does not get a following that keep voting for her to keep her on the show! :eek

 :wave Back4More and Sharon,

Jesse McCartney used to play Adam Chandler, Jr. (Junior) on ALL MY CHILDREN. So he should know Susan Lucci.
 
I'm surprised they are having teen idol singers on the show but that should be nice for the teen fans.  I enjoy watching the pro dancers dance to the guest singers' music no matter who is singing.

My favorite guest performance was Barry Manilow singing MANDY last year while Jonathan and his wife danced.  Beautiful!

 :lol  SHARON, I felt the same way watching the Jonas Brothers.  IMO having them perform on such a sophisticate show as DWTS was a total mismatch.  But I do understand why the "youngsters" would enjoy them.  And at least they're clean-cut!!!!

Speaking of "mismatches", Cloris Leachman is fast becoming a major annoyance to me on DWTS.  Be gone, Cloris.  Go cuddle with your Oscars and Emmys, but please leave the rest of us alone!

BACK4MORE, maybe you can record all of the new DWTS episodes and watch them on the weekends.  I agree with SHARON that homework is much more important!!!

I am enjoying the season so far. My Maks is back and that put a major smile on my face. I loved the group number last night. Maks with oily chest.  :thud Maks jumping up and down after it was over.  :bigsmile So glad that Misty May-Treanor is pretty good.  :lol

My other rooting interest is with Lance. I was/am a major 'NSYNC fan so I love my boys and support them. Did it with Joey. Will with Lance too.

I also like Warren Sapp. Who knew he could move so well? As far as Cloris Leachman, it was funny the first 2 nights but it is getting annoying. And if good dancers go home because of it, that will be really bad. I heard Maks this morning and he said that she wears them out.

Now for the results show. I LOVE the Jonas Brothes (braved July heat and screaming teenage girls to see them in concert). I may not be a youngster but they are my favorite group right now. I love their music and just them. They cut their song short so it flowed a little differently but it was cute to see Joe dance (or try to :lol) I also enjoyed Jesse McCartney. He is/was a very talented actor (started on All My Children) and has grown into a very talented musician and songwriter (co-wrote "Bleeding Love").

The highlight of the show last night is when the professsional dancers were on.  Here is Maks with a sweaty chest standing there looking beautiful and the dancing was fantastic with the group. 

Why is Cloris still there??  The last dance she did was horrible and a insult to the other dancers.  When they start voting the other contestants off and keep her on that is when I don't want to watch it anymore.  I blame the producers for doing this as they know how she can be and that people will vote to just keep her on no matter how horrible the dance is.

Every year they have a dancer who just does not belong - this year it is Cloris Leachman. I have disliked her ever since she was a young, slim, actress and said that she thought that fat people should be put into cages away from food (and I did not want to go into a cage!  :lol :hissy )  Happily, I see that she has gotten a little thick around the middle, too!  :clap

I have not gotten to see Maks dance even once this year (except for recaps at the end of the show). When you are too busy to see Maks, you are too darn busy! I will watch the entire show tonight!   :bouncy

Pepe,

Tonight, DWTS is on for two hours, 7 to 9 Central Time (8 to 10 ET) and then BOSTON LEGAL comes on.

Tuesday, just one hour, 8 to 9 Central Time (9 to 10 ET). 


Frankie,

Maks is great but his partner is not outstanding!  The cello player in my quartet said she looked like a drag queen with all the makeup they put on her!!  :para  I just don't want Maks to leave too early.  He has a lot of fans who will keep voting to keep him there.  :wink

Sharon,

Misty May is a very athletic girl and putting all the frills and feathers on her just doesn't work.  I think that she needs sleeker type outfits more like Mel B. had two years ago.  I hope Maks has some say so in what she wears.  Poor Misty is just trusting the makeup artists and designers to do their best for her.  She really does not need a lot of makeup.

I will still vote for Maks to keep him on the show for a while,  and I am voting for others, too.  I still think Brooke and Toni are the best dancers so far.  And I like the big football player, too.  If it gets down to being between Brooke, Toni, and Misty, I will have to let Misty and Maks go.  Unless Misty shows a marked improvement over the weeks.

Maks's best chance for the trophy was when Mel B. was his partner.  I still think they should have won. :yes

:dance

SHIRLEY -  Love your enthusiasm for Alec.

This is certainly a "feel good" show!   :bouncy :bouncy

I wish I could "watch" the show with all of you here on this thread, but I will be multi-tasking. :hypno

DWTS isn't on TV in my area tonight because of a Steelers game, which we'll probably watch.  The station is going to run the show tomorrow morning.  Since I have to work, I guess I'll have to tape it.  Have fun watching everyone.

Hi Frankie, Thea & Mrs. C! :hugg :hugg
Pepe, I also enjoy watching Alec. :waggle

Last weeks results:
Maks sweaty chest = Good :yes :drool :thud
Ted McGinley/One of my favorites, going home = Bad! :no :nooo

Tonight I only got to see the first hour again, then Prison Break came on, my hour to stare at Wentworth Miller, :thud
at least I finally got to see Maks! :fruit
I guess I have a new favorite, Misty May, gotta keep Maks on that show for as long as possible!
Maks sweaty chest again = Very Good!!!!
:flame :hot2
And Rocco? Sexy man that can cook =  :thud :wink
And :wow what a kiss with Lance & Lacey!
That is all. :lol

Here are the scores for tonight:

24
Brooke and Derek
Warren and Kym

23
Toni and Alec

21
Misty and Maks
Susan and Tony
Cody and Julianne

20
Lance and Lacey

19
Maurice and Cheryl

17
Kim and Mark

16
Rocco and Karina

15
Cloris and Corky

Just some thoughts:

Corky is really a gem to put up with Cloris.  Can you imagine Cloris with Maks??? :eek

Karina seems more likable this year.  I liked her hair tonight.  Rocco is just a delightful personality.  I will have to see if he is on the Food Network. :wink

Kim is beautiful but doesn't seem to have any personality or depth to her.  I think this will be her undoing.  Poor Mark!  He tries so hard.

Maurice just hasn't made an impression on me yet.

Lance is a talented dancer but wants to push the envelope as far as the rules are concerned.

it's odd this year for Julianne not to appear the kid;  Cody is such a kid.  Cute together.

Susan is serious and a perfectionist.  She will do better if she can let loose more, as the judges have said.

Misty!  Misty !  Misty!  She needs to loosen up, too, and enjoy it more.  After all, she has Maks as a partner!  How much more fun could that be? :slick  She did have that "deer in the headlights" look.  :shocked

If Toni hadn't had the lifts, I think she would have had the highest score tonight.  She is really good and, I agree, Pepe. Alec is a good looking guy.  Not a singer, however! :lol

Warren is amazing.  Such a big guy and so light on his feet.  I think he could make it to the finals.

Brooke may be the one to beat;  she seems to be talented and a natural at ballroom dancing! :thumb


If it's not Cloris, I predict Kim, Maurice or Rocco will go home.

:dance  :dance  :dance

Sharon,

On one of the early DWTS seasons, I first noticed Alec and thought, wow, there's something about him.  Then he was gone, and I couldn't remember if it was he or Maks that impressed me so much.  Because Maks was the one front and center, he became my "fantasy guy."  But it could very well have been Alec if he had been on the show more.  :slick 

So, now I will have a fantasy guy and a spare!!  :bigsmile  :thud  :thud

Prissy, I have to agree with your comments, also.

We certainly have a group this year with lots of potential.  I can't wait for someone to just "let loose".  (and I don't mean the costumes Michelle referred to  :lmao)

I am worried that Rocco or Kim might be going home.

Yep PRISSY I think it is a good idea to have a spare, and Alec would be a good one!!!  I am liking him big time!!!!!!  :bouncy

I am so very impressed with Warren, I think he is doing great!!!!!!!!  I wasn't that impressed with Susan last night as it seemed like they hardly moved they kind of stayed in one spot and did all their moves.  Wished I looked like she did in a leotard though!!!!  Just don't care for Misty at all,  but I sure like her better than Cloris.  Why does DWTS always have to have a comedian that makes a fool of their selves.

I'm off to physical therary for my knees, but hopefully when I return I can watch my DVR from last night to see what everybody is talking about.

I'm just hoping and praying that Cloris will "get the boot" tonight, but I doubt that it will happen. 

Have a good day, everybody. 

P.S. Just FYI,  I don't hold grudges.  I have let them go.  I feel bad that some of you continue to hold them.  It is obvious in the way I am ignored on this thread.  I have nothing but kind and forgiving feelings towards each and everybody here on this thread.  Please know that I believe that life is much too short to harbor ill feelings.    I do know that I can only control what is in my heart, but I pray that you can find it in your hearts to be a little kinder and more accepting of everybody who posts here. 

Have a wonderull day.

I hope you all know that even though I don't always respond to each one of you I appreciate your opinions and insight on DWTS.  Such a wonderful show;  it's fun to come here and compare notes.  As the "hostess" of this thread, I try to find pictures and information for everyone.

Thea,
I agree about Cloris!  She was "better???" last night, but still is the worst dancer on the show.  CLORIS, GO HOME!!

Pepe,
I think Warren is amazing.  And he even danced in that long coat last night!  :shock  We can all share Alec as our "spare"  :lol

Michelle and Sharon,
I have watched AMC for a long time and I think Susan has perhaps had a little "help" recently with her perkiness!! :yes
I don't know how they do all of those dance moves and the costumes stay in place!  :shock

Deanna,
I think you are right.  It may be Kim or Rocco.  Kim is like a cardboard figure, and usually the prettiest girl goes home pretty quickly.  Rocco is so cute!!  But not a good dancer at all.  Too bad they don't always get the chance to improve.

Kelly,
Good to see you here posting.  You will have to tape DWTS so you can see the whole thing.  Sometimes I have the VCR and the TiVo going.  Lance was funny after he kissed his partner.  He said, "I liked it."   :lol  Misty must improve so that Maks will be around for a while!!!

Barb,
I don't usually post and watch the show at the same time.  And usually I have to tape or TiVo on Monday nights because I have orchestra practice.  Last night I took a "break" from orchestra and stayed home to watch.  I'm glad the pictures and names are helpful.  I will keep bringing that post over!! :thumb

Debbie,
Oh no!  A football game instead of DWTS.  I hope you do get to see it this morning.


Did anyone think that Misty May's costume was a lot like one of Mel B's costumes a couple of years ago?  The one where she had the whip?  I will go search for that picture!!

(Clickable)

Maks and Mel B in her black outfit.  (This was not the whip dance.)

Mel B also danced in another black outfit similar to Misty;  Mel looked a lot better.  Sorry Misty!

:dance

:cry  I think I waited too late to vote online.  I have been trying but no luck.  I usually vote on Monday nights after I watch the show.  This time I waited until this morning and I believe the deadline has passed;  I thought it was noon!

:wheee  I went back to the voting page one more time and clicked on it and I WAS ABLE TO VOTE.  I spread my 11 votes out among Brooke, Toni, Warren, ...............and Misty!!

Cloris' stage persona on this year's DWTS makes me cringe.  I still wonder if she is aware that she is perceived as a big joke (IMHO).  :scratch I hate to see elderly people exploited in that manner, if my personal theory holds up  that she's actually taking herself seriously and not trying to be that funny.

Thea,

I saw the end of an interview with Cloris on Jay Leno's show.  Cloris, at one point, said she was tired and went and laid down on the couch!!  She talked about an affair with an actor.  I had always thought she had more class than she is showing.

I think she tried to be more serious last night.  But they are dressing her like a clown!!  She looked prettiest in the blue dress for her first dance last week.  The wigs are atrocious! :eek

I finally got to see Maks last night!  :clap It did remind me of his "black leather" dance ilth Mel B last year - and last year was better!

I still like Julianne and Cheryl, as always, as far as the professional dancers go. Brooke Burke is my favorite Star, so far. I am still not voting (AI2 ruined me for life, as far as voting goes!), but I really enjoy watching this show.

I agree, FRANKIE.  IMO Misty lacks personality and pizazz.  I don't think even a tremendous performer like Maks can coax any showmanship out of her.  OK, I'll just say it:  :para IMHO Misty is just a "jock"....not a dancer in the true sense of the word!!!

MAX DESERVED A BETTER PARTNER THIS YEAR!!!!

I think Lance and Lacey suit each other - not the best dancers, but they match up well, I think.

I wonder if they draw for partners, or if the producers decide? I miss Edyta, too, and I forgot to say that I also like Tony - he seems like a sweet guy.

You are right, Thea, Derek is a sweetie, too.

Hey gang! :wave

Hey Sharon and Thea--
I tried to do some research ( :blush  sorry the "news" is in my blood) and I found this article from August:
http://tvwatch.people.com/2008/08/04/shannon-elizabeth-is-not-engaged-to-derek-hough/

I think that Lacey and Lance would be out in front in this competition if they were doing "by-the-book" routines. I think they would rather stretch the rules than be in the lead. JMHO.  I think they are enjoyed being "different".  :bigsmile

I gotta say that I am not in the majority here when it comes to Misty May. I think she was a great choice for Maks.  She is really athletic and I think it will be fun to see if Maks can turn her into a finesse dancer.  She has all the energy and stamina needed to dance, so I think he can do wonders with her.  I like to think she is a "diamond in the rough" that he can turn into a gem. :wink  Maks needs a little work to keep him on his toes.   :lmao

OK, here are the results of "extensive research" on said romance.  It sounds like it's going strong!
Quote
Dancer Derek Hough, who guided Brooke Burke to the highest score with their 23 for the cha cha cha, told OK! his romance with his partner from last season, actress Shannon Elizabeth, is still going strong. Shannon cheered him and Brooke on from the audience Monday night. “It’s still kicking,” Derek smiled about his relationship with Shannon. “I’ve been sick and she’s been taking care of me. She doesn’t cook and she’s a vegetarian—[but] she’s been cooking me chicken noodle soup! It’s love.”


Just go to www.okmagazine.com to get the full article!!!  Lots of interesting tidbits.  :slick

I am taking a break from preparing food for a luncheon tomorrow to watch DWTS and post at the same time.  Usually, I wait until the show is over but I am on the "big" computer in Skip's home office and watching that TV. 

Thanks for the nice comments about me hosting.  I always feel responsible for a thread I start and want to keep it interesting. 

Deanna,
Thanks for seeing something in Misty May that some of us want to see but don't see yet.  I hope that Maks can work his magic with her.  I know she really wants to do well and I so want to see Maks win that Mirror Ball!!

Thea, Sharon, Frankie, Pepe, Michelle, Barb, Deanna and others joining in!!  Let's hope that Cloris says "bye-bye tonight.

I think Lance and Lacey want to entertain the audience rather than please the judges.  That could come back to "bite" them

It would be interesting to know how the couples are matched up.  I think age and size might be a consideration.  Corky, Mark's father, was brought in to be Cloris's partner, but he doesn't look that old.

.

I had a feeling Warren and Kym would be the "chosen" dancers for tonight.  Hopefully, the ending will go better tonight! :thumb  I'm still not sure what their ending is supposed to be.  But Warren is just amazing for such a big guy!

First two couples safe:  Toni and Alec      and       Rocco and Karina!! Rocco gets another chance!!  He really looked surprised. :shock  (There's something adorable about Rocco.)

Now it's time for Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo's girlfriend, Jessica Simpson.  The best thing about the singing guest is that there's usually someone dancing during their performance! :dance

Next two couples safe:  Cody and Julianne        and        Brooke and Derek!! 

Len and Bruno are now talking about filming the equivalent show of DWTS in London.  They are constantly flying back and forth but say they get along well. 

Now, the Macy's  Stars of Dance special part of the show returns. (I don't mean to sound negative, but usually this is my least favorite part of the show.  The dancing is almost always  over the top with lots of gimmicks.  Sorry!  I'm sure some of you enjoy it.)

Woo!  Woo!  Maks and Cheryl are dancing to Jessica's second song!   :thud  That was  :flame  Sharon, I'm watching Maks' feet!!  :wink

The next couple safe:   Susan and Tony!

The next two couples safe:  Warren and Kym         and        Maurice and Cheryl!

The next two couples safe:  Lance and Lacey         and         Misty and Maks!  :wheee

The next couple safe:  Cloris and Corkey! :eek



The couple eliminated tonight:

Post by: Prissy on October 01, 2008, 12:57:08 AM
I'm bringing my "play by play" summary from the previous page here.  Thanks Sharon!!

I am taking a break from preparing food for a luncheon tomorrow to watch DWTS and post at the same time.  Usually, I wait until the show is over but I am on the "big" computer in Skip's home office and watching that TV. 

Thanks for the nice comments about me hosting.  I always feel responsible for a thread I start and want to keep it interesting. 

Deanna,
Thanks for seeing something in Misty May that some of us want to see but don't see yet.  I hope that Maks can work his magic with her.  I know she really wants to do well and I so want to see Maks win that Mirror Ball!!

Thea, Sharon, Frankie, Pepe, Michelle, Barb, Deanna and others joining in!!  Let's hope that Cloris says "bye-bye tonight.

I think Lance and Lacey want to entertain the audience rather than please the judges.  That could come back to "bite" them

It would be interesting to know how the couples are matched up.  I think age and size might be a consideration.  Corky, Mark's father, was brought in to be Cloris's partner, but he doesn't look that old.

.

I had a feeling Warren and Kym would be the "chosen" dancers for tonight.  Hopefully, the ending will go better tonight! :thumb  I'm still not sure what their ending is supposed to be.  But Warren is just amazing for such a big guy!

First two couples safe:  Toni and Alec      and       Rocco and Karina!! Rocco gets another chance!!  He really looked surprised. :shock  (There's something adorable about Rocco.)

Now it's time for Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo's girlfriend, Jessica Simpson.  The best thing about the singing guest is that there's usually someone dancing during their performance! :dance

Next two couples safe:  Cody and Julianne        and        Brooke and Derek!! 

Len and Bruno are now talking about filming the equivalent show of DWTS in London.  They are constantly flying back and forth but say they get along well. 

Now, the Macy's  Stars of Dance special part of the show returns. (I don't mean to sound negative, but usually this is my least favorite part of the show.  The dancing is almost always  over the top with lots of gimmicks.  Sorry!  I'm sure some of you enjoy it.)

Woo!  Woo!  Maks and Cheryl are dancing to Jessica's second song!   :thud  That was  :flame  Sharon, I'm watching Maks' feet!!  :wink

The next couple safe:   Susan and Tony!

The next two couples safe:  Warren and Kym         and        Maurice and Cheryl!

The next two couples safe:  Lance and Lacey         and         Misty and Maks!  :wheee

The next couple safe:  Cloris and Corkey! :eek



The couple eliminated tonight:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/02-9.jpg)
Kim Kardashian
Mark Ballas


:eek  :eek  :eek  Another week with Cloris!! :eek  :eek   :eek  And we don't really know that she was in the bottom two!!  It could have been Rooco and Kim!

Tidbits:

On THE INSIDER, Kim Kardashian's mom,  ????? Jenner, (found out her name is K(C)ris)  the wife of Bruce Jenner is the DWTS correspondent.  So there were lots of DWTS features on the show.  Kim's mom said she was going to have to come after the judges if they kept being mean to her daughter.  ( Does she lose her INSIDER and ET job now that Kim is gone????)

There was also a clip of Maks and Cheryl Burke walking hand and hand on a sidewalk (maybe going to dinner).  Maks' other hand was handling a cell phone.  I'm wondering if that HOT dance of theirs signifies a relationship!   :dunno  :slick  Maks does seem to be an affectionate guy!  :wink

Kim K. and Tony were on Jimmy Kimmel's show.  Kim said she wasn't upset about leaving and it had been a wonderful experience.  She said now people had gotten to know her.  Uh?  Jimmy has a tradition of burning the shoes of the star voted off DWTS.  Kim said, "No, wait!  I want to sell my shoes on Ebay."  :lol  (They burned her shoes.)

Post by: Pepe on October 01, 2008, 05:59:02 AM
MICHELLE, I'm with you, I go and do something else when Cloris is on, can't stand  her!!!! 

If it wasn't for Maks and Alec I really think I would stop watching the show.  It is so wrong to keep Cloris, who is making a mockery of things to gain attention, to not be voted off when others who are taking this serious have to leave.

Loved watching Maks and Cheryl dance wondered how Jessica Simpson sells records!!!! 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fantasy on October 01, 2008, 09:13:34 AM
I was worried about Maks, though I really didn't think they would be voted off. I did not like them waiting so close to the end to say they were safe. I am not too upset with Kim leaving because she really has no talent (sorry  :lol). Cloris can last a few more weeks without upsetting me but good people better not leave.

Lance and Lancey, who I love, do need to watch themselves and try not to be too edgy and modern. As far as the dance and song, they were given the song and told what to dance it to. They made it as fun as they could. But I hope that the producers at least give them a shot at being serious. And I hope that L&L actually do try.

As far as the results show, LOVED the dance between Maks and Cheryl. HOT! Prissy, I wander if they are dating. I also enjoyed seeing Pasha and Anya from SYTYCD. Two of my favorite contestants.

If you love Maks and DWTS, check out the blog on EW.com. Annie Barrett writes it and it is hilarious. It's under the TV Watch articles. She also talks to Maks once a week (there is a link at the end of the article) and he is very honest.  :lol

I tied to post after the results show, but sometimes the site (or my computer) just does not cooperate! I did not watch the entire results show and missed Maks and Cherl's dance  :bang The good part is that I also missed hearing Jessica Simpson!  :clap

fantasy - thank you for telling us about the Blog - here is a link to the latest one - I plan to read every week  :lol

Quote
Then there were two pro dances, set to the unfortunate warbling of a petrified-looking Jessica Simpson. I'm not sure how Maks and Cheryl managed to keep straight faces, let alone focus on their rumba, while the gone-country singer's rendition of Robbie Williams' ''Angels'' sounded like a bird was dying on stage.

(Go to Page 2 of the Blog to see/hear the video of her phone call to Maks - he answers a couple of fan questions)

I hate to say this as it is not very nice but I just don't think Misty compliments Maks at all.  Don't know what it is if it is her height or what it is.  They just don't go together!  Just my personal opinion.  Was just looking again at the pictures you just posted Prissy and I think I like Maks with Cheryl much better.   :bouncy :bouncy

I am taking Deanna's post to heart and hoping :cross that Misty will improve.  I surely don't want to lose Maks!!  I wish he had Toni or Brooke for a partner this year.

MY POST FROM THE OTHER SITE:

Eliminated this evening:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/01-13.jpg)
Cody and Julianne

Revealed safe in this order:

Lance and Lacey
Brooke and Derek
Then, Warren and Kym

Cody was very eloquent in his closing remarks.  He has certainly matured during his time on DWTS, and you can tell, Julianne was the perfect partner for him.

I don't think there was an Encore Dance, probably because there were so many singing performances:

Aretha Franklin (who looked really HUGE) sang  "Chain of Fools"; with Louis and three others dancing;  didn't catch their names.  (Karina and Anna!  Thanks Sharon!)

Leona Lewis (Simon Cowell prodigy!  Thanks Sharon!)  sang next with Maks and Kariina dancing a very HOT dance!!!!!

Julianne sang, and has a really good, strong voice.  I was impressed.  Mark, Derek and Lacey danced to her song.

John Legend sang with a group of dancers.

Aretha returned and sang 'RESPECT" with Kristi Y. and Mark dancing.  Great to see Kristi again.

So, just one more week of DWTS!!  The Final next week. 
 
:dance

I found this on Yahoo's front page this morning:

"Yahoo! TV Blog
'Dancing with the Stars' Cutie Calls It Quits?
By Andrea Engstrom | Thursday, November 20, 2008, 3:53 PM


Julianne Hough
Jemal Countess/Wireimage.com

It's a very sad day for us "Dancing with the Stars" fans.

 

While on Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show (KIIS FM's "On Air with Ryan Seacrest") professional dancer Julianne Hough said that she will not be returning in the spring to compete for her third Mirror Ball Trophy. "I'm not going to be back next season," Julianne announced. "That's final."

 

Emmy-nominated Julianne Hough (view photos) became an instant fan favorite on the show, taking the grand prize with Olympic gold medalist Apolo Anton Ohno her first time out (Season 4), then snatching the prize again with Helio Castroneves during her second go (Season 5).

 

She's beautiful, goofy, good-hearted and enormously talented. You can't help but love her. Even cynical radio personality Adam Carolla fell in love with Julianne after he was paired with her in Season 6. When the two were eliminated during Week 4, Carolla seemed genuinely disappointed and told the crowd, "I had the time of my life. I lost 20 pounds of fat and gained 105 pounds of angel. I love this girl." Last Tuesday night, Julianne and her partner Cody Linely were eliminated during the semi-finals of Season 7.

 

Julianne and her brother Derek Hough, also a professional on "Dancing with the Stars" (and a likely candidate to take the Trophy this season), come from a family of dancers and began competing at a very early age. Both Houghs have music aspirations, which is the reason Julianne has decided to leave the show. This morning she told Ryan, "It's because I really, really want to focus on the music and... be taken seriously a little bit, and I think it's hard to be on ‘Dancing with the Stars' and be singing and kind of get that confusion, and so I'm really going to focus on the music."

 

Julianne's self-titled album debuted at #1 on the Top Country Albums chart, and I'm sure she's going to give fellow reality star Carrie Underwood a run for her money.

 

Although she's definitely out this spring (Season 8 begins March 2009), there is still a chance that she might return next fall. "I won't be on 'Dancing' this spring season," she wrote on her Fancast blog last night. "I don't know about the fall. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see."

 

The show will go on. But it won't be the same without her."

I, for one, will really  miss her.  She is one of my favs and not only a great dancer, but I believe a great teacher.  I haven't heard her sing yet, but am looking forward to that.

Post by: fhmmany2 on November 21, 2008, 09:50:30 AM
 :wave

Woody - I just saw Julianne's interview on E! News - I will miss her, too. She is a special girl - one that younger kids can look up to. I hope she will be a sucess in the music field. There are so many pretty, blonde, talented girls in Nashville right now. I think Kellie Pickler would be even much more sucessful if she wasn't going up against Carrie, Taylor Swift, etc. But I do hope for the best for Jullianne.

And this season - I have changed my mind after last week. If they all dance as they did this week,  I think it will be Brooke and Lance in the finals, not Brooke and Warren.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 22, 2008, 05:58:50 AM
Hello!

A quick pop in while I can get on the compute!

Woody,
Thanks for the article about Julianne!  She really is a sweetheart and can really sing. 

Frankie,
I think you're right.  Brooke and Lance in the Finals.  I did not vote last week, but may vote Monday for Brooke and Lance.  Warren should be proud to have made it to the Finals.

Like a lot of you, I will miss DWTS when it ends, but it always comes back.  I think the reason THE MILLIONAIRE game show lost its popularity was it was one too much.  DWTS is gone long enough to have everyone anxious for it to get back.

I feel a little annoyed with Marie Osmond.  DWTS, in my opinion, is what revived her career and Donny's as well.  Donny was always on ET or THE INSIDER talking about the show when Marie was on.  Now, they have a very successful run in Las Vegas and have had a tour, also.  I just feel like Marie has not acknowledged appreciation to DWTS. She is pretending to be a "fourth judge" on THE INSIDER.  And after she lost, she left the show and has never made a reappearance.
And she said her weight loss was due to NutriSystem, when a lot of it had to do with DWTS.

Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the basketball team, the Dallas Mavericks, is being investigated for insider trading.  Mark was on DWTS a couple of seasons back, when Helio won.




Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on November 22, 2008, 12:47:02 PM
PRISSY, I heard that about Mark Cuban on the CNN News.  As far as Marie I don't say to much about her as most everyone loves her but me.  I think a little humility would go a long way with Marie.  She is just a little to out there for me.  She reminds me of comedians that they have to be loud and show off for attention constantly.  As  you can tell I am not Marie's greatest fan.  I also know she lost most of her weight on DWTS and now says it is Nutrisystem, hey they are paying her to say that!!!!!!!!!!  She is acting as a judge on ET also Prissy.



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS

Post by: mrs. c. on November 23, 2008, 02:39:22 PM
Woody, just read your post about Julianne :cry :cry :nooo Oh mah goodness I will miss her so much also!!!
IMHO she is one of the best choreographers and teachers on DWTS, it will not be the same without her, but I wish her success in her singing career~~~she can do anything she is sooooo talented :bouncy


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 23, 2008, 07:29:37 PM
 :wave to everyone posting.

This morning while I was "surfing" through the TV channels, I saw Mark Balas and Derek Hough singing and playing guitars for an ice skater on a Something on Ice show.  I believe it was benefiting the McDonald's House in Los Angelas.  Derek sounded good and so did Mark.  I think it was in PARADE today that Julianne said she and Derek and Mark had a singing group when they were younger.

There's something about Marie's attitude that bothers me.   Donny doesn't come across that way.  I'm wondering if Jonathan, Marie's partner on DWTS, is also a part of their Las Vegas show?  I don't think I've seen him on DWTS this season. 

The Finals this week and then no DWTS for a while again!!  :cry

Shirley, I think that with Marie having 8 brothers and being the only girl in that family, she probably was extremely spoiled.

BETH, I agree.  Marie was spoiled, but so was Paris Hilton and many other "stars".  I will take Marie's behavior over Paris Hilton's and Madonna's, for instance, any day of the week.

I never get cards from my family even if I am sick or in the hospital.  My sister does send me a birthday card but that is it.  I am afraid I spoiled my kids and waited on them so much that they never think of anyone else.

SHIRLEY, have you ever thought of actually telling them that you're hurt by the lack of attention?  There are kind, gentle ways to approach this subject with our children.  You may be surprised at the good results you get as a result of an open, honest discussion.  I feel that once a mother, always a mother and that we need to gently encourage our children to always do what is right even when they are already grown up.  Anyway, IMO it's worth a try!  :wink

THEA thank you for your advice but my kids are not kids anymore they are in their 40's so if I have to remind them to think of me it wouldn't mean as much anyway.  My sister and I have talked about this and she has friends with children just like mine I guess they are the me generation.  I know I never missed sending my mother a gift or a plant for Mothers Day , birthday, Easter, Christmas even when we lived in California.  Well did they pick you?  Are  you going to have to serve on a jury???  I had to go one time but they excused me for some reason, boy was I glad!!!!  That was when we were living in Tennessee.  The person on trial was a relation to our tax accountant and he was there also, so that might have been why I was excused.  Hope your feeling better.

Well, PEPE I guess I am very blessed because I still have wonderful communication with my sons.  I am now working on a wonderful relationship with my new daughter-in-law and my future daughter-in-law, as well.  (Younger son is now engaged!).  Yes, the "me generation" is talked about, but my personal experience has been that it is never too late to work out differences between the generations as long it is approached in a gentle, sensitive manner.

And no, I haven't been selected for a jury as of yet, but there's always tomorrow or maybe even Wednesday.  Not something I am looking forward to, but I know it is my civic duty. 

Have to get my kitchen cleaned up before DWTS!

I will be so happy for either Lance/Lacey or Brooke/Derek to win.  Earlier I was feeling so frustrated over the way the judges were fawning all over Warren Sapp.  I think his partner Kim is an amazing dancer, but Warren is no match for the other two. IMO he didn't even come close to the other two in grace and technique.   And I don't agree that Warren was "the crowd favorite".   Just because the judges have anointed him as that doesn't make it so.

I'll be interested in this results show.  Talk to you all tomorrow night!

P.S.  FRANKIE, I didn't vote either.   :wink

I'm so annoyed with the judges!! Len gives warren a 10 purely for entertainment!!  Meanwhile Lance's dances are filled with amazing dance moves!  He never gets the scores or credit for the excellent dancer and entertainer he is.  I'm just very frustrated with Lance being totally underrated.  :bang

"On Edyta, this is a whole costume!"  Tom, holding up a tiny spangle that fell from Kym's costume!   :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol   :lmao

Scores this evening:

                      Group Samba:    Free Style:     Total:

Brooke/Derek            28        +       30       =    58

Lance/Lacey              26        +       27       =    53

Warren/Kym             25         +       28       =    53



I feel like the right three are in the Finals.   And I will be happy with whoever wins.  I "kinda" think Brooke deserves it, but I really like Lance and Warren, too.  All three couples have just been amazing!

Sharon and Deanna,

When Tom held up that spangle and said that line, I thought I would fall off the chair!  :lmao

A large part of the success of DWTS is due, in my opinion,  to the good nature, comedic talent and humor of host, Tom Bergeron. :clap  Samantha is OK, but I feel almost any gal could be Tom's sidekick!

In a few hours we will know who has won this seventh season of DWTS!! 

Past Winners:

http://starsdancingontv.com/category/past-winners/

Season 1 - Kelly Monaco and Alec Mazo

Season 2 - Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke

Season 3 - Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke

Season 4 - Apolo Anton and Julianne Hough

Season 5 - Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough

Season 6 - Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas

The right person won  :clap :clap :clap - I agree that Lance should have come in second. And as soon as I saw they were doing a "Roast" I knew that crack about Clay was coming  :para I have changed so much in 5 years - there was a time that would have upset me! I guess I've finally learned to not sweat the small stuff!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS

Lance!!  You were robbed!  He should have come in 2nd at least. Lance on tour, oh YES!!!!!!!!!!

 I usually don't comment about the reality shows. I am happy
 for Brooke.  She deserved to win. I do think
 Lance  should have been 2nd.  But I do think that
 Roast was discusting to an otherwise amazing show and
 never should have happened.  Just had to tell someone how
 I feel.

Post by: Pepe on November 26, 2008, 10:38:33 AM
CAROL I agree with you they should do away with the roasts as they are stupid and usually cross the line of decency all in hopes of getting a laugh! 

I thought Lance and Lacey certainly deserved second place.  I liked Warren okay but did not believe he deserved second place.  He is not Emmit Smith.  Was watching Brooke on Good Morning America she sure does have thin legs!

Oh My now what do we watch??????????????????? 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 26, 2008, 10:47:45 AM
Thanks, Sharon!  :hugs

And a big Thank You to everyone who has posted or lurked here on the DWTS thread.

Another funny Tom line spoken to Misty:  "Is your tendon a'mendin'!" :lol

Pepe and Carol,
I agree that the Roast was unnecessary and had some "bad taste" moments.

Frankie,
Not much was mentioned on DWTS about Lance being gay;  in fact it was pretty much ignored until Jeffrey Ross made the Clay Aiken comment.  And it didn't upset me, either.

Pepe, Thea and Tiffany,
I am surprised that Warren had more votes than Lance, but Warren was a really likable person and very light on his feet.   Lance is being treated as if he won second place on the talk shows.  :yes

Mimi,
Good news that Lance will be on tour.  And Maks commented last night that he was glad Lance would be on the tour.  I don't know if Brooke will be or not;  thinking maybe, no.

Beth,
Glad to see you joining in with us!

Deanna,
Thanks for all your posts on this thread!

I did watch Brooke and Derek on Jimmy Kimmel last night.  The were there by satellite.  Also, I saw all three couples on GMA today.  It was  odd that Lance sat in the second chair, danced second, and was treated as if he had been the runner up (which I think he should have been.)   Emirel, the chef, was on with pies, and the DWTS couples were enjoying pie, especially Warren.  Warren also commented that he did not lose any weight at all;  still at 294 pounds!

I taped THE VIEW, and I saw Lance and Lacey dance and Brooke and Derek.  I'm sure Warren was there, too, but I will have to go back and watch again!

I wish all of the Claymaniac DWTS fans a

Prissy, you're welcome!!  I enjoy the show and the company here very, very much!! :hugs

I tried very hard to watch the show last night, but my eyes just wouldn't stay open.  :lol
That's what I get for having to get up at 4 am each day.  :bang

I hope I can find the video of Brooke's win on you tube.  If anyone sees a link, please share.  :wink

I am happy that Brooke won.  She really did deserve the prize.  I am happy that Derek finally got to win, also.

I think Warren got second placed based on his entertainment value.  I do think that Lance really came on strong at the end and I enjoyed his dancing all season.

Yeah for Brooke and Deryk and I think Lance should have came in second...  I forget about him being gay not something I think about, didnt hear the roast i fell asleep glad i missed it.  I always liked Lance when he was n"snc...  Len was always easy on Warren, Lance should have gotten better scores from him.    I agree Tom is a good host..

I am very late in posting here, but things have been crazier than usual around here.   :bduh

I am not one bit surprised that Brooke and Derek won.  They deserved it,  although I thought Lance was giving them a run for their money the last few weeks and totally agree with you guys that he should have come in second.

But I HAVE to vent.  I don't think the Clay mention was necessary.  Why did they have to bring up Lance's sexuality at all???  Did they bring up Brooke's???  That really makes me steam.   :explode  I felt like yelling at the screen, OF COURSE we're sick of Clay Aiken jokes.  I'm sure Lance is, too.  Just had to get that off my chest.

I thought it was a good season.  I was especially happy to see Derek win.  I think he is very talented, and you could tell how happy he was to have won. 

I look forward to the next DWTS.  I'm glad you guys turned me on to it!!!

Oh Prissy, I hope that's true about Julianne :purpbana :purpbana :bouncy :bouncy
I visited my brother and wife last night, they both love the show too :wink They had a really great idea IMHO :bouncy with another 2 seasons under their belt, they thought for the 10th season of DWTS they should have all the winners of the first 9 seasons back to compete again, not with their original partners though, couldn't work as Cheryl and Julianne have won twice so far. I think that would be a blast!!!
I was also wondering if anyone had any info on why Jonathan wasn't on this season :dunno, and just another aside~~I really liked Fabian Sanchez, he danced with Marlee Matlin, I'd like to see him back too :bouncy

Saraocks sent me the following info:

Dancing With the Stars' Karina & Maksim Engaged!
Marcus Errico – Sun Jan 4, 1:07 am ET E! Online – Dancing With the Stars' Karina & Maksim Engaged!(E! Online)
Huppert, Dillon, Cook AP Los Angeles (E! Online) – Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are looking to perfect their pas de deux.

The Dancing With the Stars pros took the whole ringing in the New Year literally, getting engaged just before the calendar flipped to Jan. 1, a source close to the couple confirms to E! News.

The betrothal came between DWTS tour dates in Salt Lake City and Tulsa, Okla.—and a little more than six months after Smirnoff, 30, announced she and former Dancing partner Mario Lopez had ended their two-year relationship.

She and fellow Ukraine native Chmerkovskiy, 28, hooked up shortly thereafter.

Chermkovskiy joined DWTS in season two and last season partnered with Misty May-Treanor. Smirnoff has been on since season three, most recently teaming with Rocco DiSpirito.

No word on a wedding date, but both are expected back when season eight kicks off March 9.


Karina has not been one of my favorites, but she was more likeable last season.  Of course, Maks will always be my favorite!!! :thud

Karina, has not been a fav of mine either, just not a warm personality, I am happy for she and Maks, I'm sure his mama would approve, especially being from the Ukraine also.
Well, there goes another hot guy from our single list :lol

For anyone who gets the E!

The show should be shown several more times this weekend!

Frankie,

I searched the shows on E and the Top 10 will be repeated tomorrow at 9 am Central Time.

I'm not that thrilled about this engagement.  I really like Maks, but Karina has been my least favorite of the pro dancers.  It seems as if once her relationship with Mario Lopez ended, she "took up" with Maks.  I wonder if it's because of his popularity! :dunno


Here is a picture and article I found today.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/karinamaks.jpg)

Dancing With The Stars pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff are engaged, PEOPLE Magazine has confirmed.

Maks popped the question to Karina, who previously dated actor Mario Lopez, in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, according to a spywitness.

The couple has been together for six months.

“They are really cute together,” adds the source.

Sharon and Frankie,

I just got home from Sunday School and watched the TiVo recording of Maks and Karina on the E Top Ten. 

Maks is so cute  :thud  and Karina is so......... :para

The interviewer said when DWTS starts up again, with them being engaged the tabloids are going to jump all over that.
Maks said they both know the inside scoop: "She knows that I have never dated any of my partners  and I know that she did!" Laughter from all three!

Let's just see if this engagement will last.  Kariina may have a dancing partner celebrity that she may be "drawn" to next season. :wiggle

Denise Truscello/WireImage.Com
 Donny is going where another Osmond has gone before.
 
Apparently not afraid of a curse that his very own sister may have helped unleash, the family-friendly entertainer more or less revealed Monday that he'll be competing on the next season of Dancing With the Stars, which premieres in March.
 
"Well, I guess I am making an announcement," Osmond, with Marie by his side, said during a taping of The Bonnie Hunt Show. "I'll say I am seriously considering doing it, let's put it that way."
 
Meanwhile, a rep for ABC tells E! News, "We don't comment on casting rumors."
 
But the Osmonds sure had a lot to say about this particular "rumor."
 
The "considering" Donny was doing dissolved into good-natured sibling rivalry as the singer protested that he couldn't let Marie—"Who do you think taught her how to dance?"—upstage him, and then into full-blown planning for the challenge ahead.
 
"It is going to be very difficult because I am going to be doing Vegas on top of doing Dancing with the Stars," he said. (Donny and Marie have a standing variety-show engagement at the Flamingo Las Vegas.)
 
The unbridled enthusiasm offered up by Marie and Bonnie Hunt can be seen on Tuesday's show.

Sharon,

I saw a little of Donny and Marie on the Bonnie Hunt Show today but it comes on opposite All My Children, so I didn't see them talking about DWTS.

I like Donny (more than I like Marie) and think he has some really good dance moves.  I think he will do well on DWTS.

I'm kind of ticked off at Marie because she still doesn't give DWTS any credit for her weight lost;  just nutrasystem.  :pullhair  And I think DWTS rejuvenated the Osmond's popularity.

Oh I love Donny, he is a doll!  I am proud to say I can't stand Marie!!!  She is to full of herself.  PRISSY I agree, boy does she lie, she lost most of that weight on DWTS but hey she is getting paid big bucks to lie!!!  All I have to say about Marie, she sure must demand a lot of attention to boost her ego.

I saw Donnie on an entertainment show this afternoon denying that he is  not going to be on DWTS this season - said he would be on the next season if it was offered. We will have to wait and see which time he was telling the truth!

Post by: Prissy on January 29, 2009, 12:18:51 PM
Frankie, Pepe and Sharon,

On THE INSIDER Donny said he would not be on this season, but possibly the next (in October?)  That probably means we will have Marie as a DWTS correspondent on ET and THE INSIDER!  :pullhair

PRISSY, oh I can hardly wait to have Marie report on what she thinks is going to happen on DWTS.  I would rather do without any reporting!!! I was thinking of Cheryl the other day and remembering how horrible some of the viewers were to her sending her horrible emails telling her she was fat.  Bless her heart I hope that doesn't ever happen again to her and hope she will be back this  year.

Now they are picking on Jessica Simpson, saying she is too fat!  I think she looks great, like Cheryl does.  I would love to have either girl's body!!
:yes


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on January 31, 2009, 09:03:05 AM
PRISSY, hubby and I was talking about Jessica yesterday morning when they showed a before and after picture of her on GMA.  I told hubby that I thought it was horrible about them picking on her weight and he said that is because she used her body to get in the movies, he said she can't sing so she had to be pretty and have a great figure.  After I thought about it I guess he is right.  When you use that part of your anatomy people are going to be looking closely at you.  As far as Cheryl I think many of us thought she had gained some weight at the beginning of last years program but we sure didn't send nasty emails to her and make her cry.  Heck we just sympathize with her!!!

I TIVO'd THE VIEW, and also watched.  Of course, he was in the last segment and gave Sherry a dance lesson.  I wish he had been given more time and sat and talked with the ladies instead of Cuba Gooding, Jr., then had the dance lesson with all four!!!

But, we'll take Maks anyway we can get him!  Right Sharon!!!   :thud

Yes, I believe so, Sharon!!!  It sounded like they were revealing them between other shows - or something like that.  But not a whole list at once.  I think they want us to watch all evening.

When does the actual show start???

Sharon,

I'm not that excited about the "stars" this season, but it will be worth watching to see Maks back again.  Now, Denise Richards better not break an ankle or anything!!!

Last season we only had a few weeks of Maks and then when that Olympic gal hurt her Achilles tendon, he was gone!! :cry

Prissy, I've said that other years too, and I'm not that excited about the lineup this year either, and somehow they always surprise me and it's my favorite season ever :lol
I just hope Denise can dance :cross :dance I'm selfish, I want to see Mak's feet longer this season too :wink :bigsmile he has THE most beautiful feet, watch them :wink

PRISSY, thanks for the lineup of DWTS .  Are there more this  year or who isn't there this year with so many new pro's.  I am not thrilled either at least I don't think they have any Marie or CLoris types this year. 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on February 13, 2009, 10:05:20 AM
Shirley, I think there's more than usual dancing~~~yep please no more Marie or Cloris :please
Know who I'd love to see again as a pro is Fabian Sanchez, he danced with Marlee Matlin a couple season's ago, she was the deaf lady!!!and was exquisite.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: ClayHeart on February 13, 2009, 10:21:54 AM
I hope that all the contestants are at least reasonable talented.  I know they had people like Cloris Leachman on just because she would be a ratings draw....I think :bduh, but there was no chance that she, or someone like Jerry Springer would win.

I'll probably watch some, but I won't be too upset if I miss a week or two.  I prefer shows that have real dancers like So You Think You Can Dance, or even America's Best Dance Crew (produced by Randy Jackson), even though the second show is not my favorite type of dancing, you can still appreciate the talent required to do the routines in both shows.

Well, back to work I go.  Have a great weekend.

Debbie

Injured Jewel Might Not Shine on Dancing Floor
 
Jewel
Natalie Finn, eonline
Thu Feb 26, 1:04 AM EST
Has Dancing With the Stars already suffered its first calamity, two weeks before its premiere?

Jewel, who along with hubby Ty Murray is supposed to be competing on the hit ABC series starting March 9, might not be fit to fox-trot because of tendinitis in her knees.

"Yuck! It's mainly my left knee, and I can't believe I hurt it so badly," the singer wrote on her blog Wednesday. "Ty warned me I was over doing it, and now he got a big ol' 'I told you so' in."

Rest assured, however, Jewel isn't going down without a fight.

"Yes it is true I have had a minor setback in my training for Dancing With the Stars, but I am dedicated to getting better and showing the judges and America that I can cha cha with the best of them," she said in a statement to E! News. "Don't count me out as I am in this for the long run."

And to think, she seemed so concerned just hours ago.

"It was just so fun to dance 8 hours a day—especially considering I only had 3 weeks to cram not only for my first dance—cha cha, but to learn the fundamentals of about 6 other dances that I will have to know," Jewel wrote. "But now I'm just worried I won't even be able to dance! Hopefully these steroids will really do the trick and I can keep bad flare ups at a bay in the future."

She was also ordered to stop rehearsals for a couple of days.

"I have my first rehab appointment today, so I will see what that's like," she continued. "Hopefully it helps the pain. Ty said 'Slow and steady will win the race...' sage advice, but my Russian partner and I have the same work ethic and our motto has been "ATTACK!!"

Sounds as if former So You Think You Can Dance finalist and DWTS newcomer Dmitry Chaplin will be losing quite the disciplined partner—and the show will be losing quite the competitor—if Jewel isn't able to dance.

Murray has been paired up with Chelsie Hightower, another DWTS newbie and a top-six finisher on last summer's SYTYCD.

Not that Jewel's bad knees are the first sign that DWTS is gearing up for another season. Veteran pro Karina Smirnoff had surgery earlier this month to repair a torn meniscus, and Mark Ballas was sidelined in December with a groin strain, both injuries suffered during the Dancing tour.

I read that Jewel and Nancy O’Dell are out now.
Me too Tiffany, they must have had a couple of people in the wings practicing cause they start Monday.  They've been suspicious of Jewel's knee for a bit, and I think it's Nancy's knee also.

My goodness does anyone know who is replacing Jewel and Nancy???  Only  a couple more days till DWTS is on, thank goodness something entertaining to watch , good clean sexy fun!!!  :lol :bouncy  We are waiting for you Maks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :bigsmile :bigsmile

Thank goodness Maks has not lost his partner to an injury!!

I did hear that there would be replacements for Jewel and Nancy O'Dell.  With the show beginning on Monday, how can two new "stars" learn their dance routines so quickly????

I believe DWTS has started out their last couple of seasons with 13 couples.
 
:dance   :dance   :dance


PS:  I wonder if Misty May, Maks' partner injured last time, will return to dance.  She really wanted to compete.   And the country singer, a few seasons back, who left early because her marriage was falling apart?   We'll just have to wait and see!
:yes

PRISSY, I have to track you down to see where you are at  :lol as you are not posting as much.  Thanks so much for bringing the pictures of the dance teams, can't wait.  I have to admit I am getting tired of reading constantly so now I can watch DWTS and AI, give me some interesting TV viewing.

Pepe,

I am ready for DWTS to begin!  THE BACHELOR kind of left a "bad taste in my mouth" feeling! 

Sharon,

I can't wait to see Maks dancing again.  I surely hope that Denise is a good dancer!  :dance

OUCH!  :eek   Both Nancy O'Dell and Jewel's injuries sound very painful!!  Who would have thought that dancing could be so dangerous and hazardous??

Sharon-I said a few posts ago that Holly was on the reality show on E The Girls Next Door.

Get this. Here's who rumored to be replacing Nancy O'Dell. Melissa from the Bachelor. Wow!

The Bachelor” star Melissa Rycroft will join “Dancing With the Stars” for the ABC show’s Monday premiere, Access Hollywood has confirmed, although ABC would not confirm the news yet.
The casting was first reported by People on Sunday.

The former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, who was dumped on the “After the Final Rose” special by Jason Mesnick after he proposed to her in the “Bachelor” season finale, will replace Access’s Nancy O’Dell, who had to leave the competition due to a torn meniscus in her knee.

In addition to her cheerleading skills, Melissa has a background in ballet — which could help the late addition make up for lost rehearsal time.

Former “The Girls Next Door” star Holly Madison is rumored to be filling the show’s other spot, left by singer Jewel, who also exited the competition early due to injuries.

ABC had no comment on the news when reached by Access on Sunday, noting that additional casting announcements would be made on Monday’s show.

The eighth season of “Dancing” premieres on Monday at 8 PM.

Thanks, Tiffany, for the news!

:wow  Melissa from THE BACHELOR stepping in to take Nancy O'Dell's place!  That should be very interesting!  For those of us who watched THE BACHELOR, this will feel like an extension of that show!!  :lol  And it may bring in fans of THE BACHELOR to DWTS.

Hello DWTS fans!

I do have my usual orchestra rehearsal this evening, like every Monday, and I will be taping and TiVoing DWTS like I had to do with THE BACHELOR most Monday's.  So I will be joining the thread late. 

Jan,
Come post after you have watched;  this is what I do.

I am excited to have the show back on again;  this has to be one of my favorite TV escapes!!  I can't wait to see Maks................................and his feet!! :wink  I am hoping and praying that Denise has some talent for dancing.  I do vote on this show and if it takes my votes to keep Maks on the show, so be it!!! :dance

Did I hear that one of the stars has already dropped out of the show?  I heard the hosts say that the votes will carry over until next week, but I missed part of the beginning so I didn't hear the explanation for that.

Debbie, Jewell and Nancy O'Dell both had knee injuries and had to drop out of the show.  They were replaced by Holly Madison and Melissa from "The Bachelor"
Can I give give Melissa a huge standing ovation :clap :clap she was awesome, and only 2 days of practice :notworthy :notworthy :wow

Good Evening!

I just finished watching my tape of DWTS and I think we have some stand outs and some that should be going home soon.  I'm disappointed that Denise doesn't have more oomph in her dancing.  I hope Maks can light a fire under her and she will improve. 

I was happily surprised at how well Melissa did and to learn her routine in only two days!   :clap   

My top picks so far:

Shawn and Mark
Melissa and Tony
Denise and Maks  (You know why I listed Denise!!) :yes

Giles and Cheryl
Chuck and Julianne
David and Kym  (David surprised me!  He took it seriously and seemed to dance well!)

Some of the guys are not so hot!!

Lawrence and Edyta
Steve W. and Karina
Ty and Chelsie

I think Steve W. or Ty will be the first to go!

Judges Scores:

Giles and Cheryl    24

Shawn and Mark   23
Melissa and Tony   

Lil Kim and Derek  21

Chuck and Julianne  20

David and Kym      19

Holly and Dmitry   18
Denise and Maks   

Belinda and Jonathan  17
Steve-O and Lacey

Lawrence and Edyta  16

Ty and Chelsie   14

Steve W. and Karina  13

It's such fun to have the show on again and I'm happy to see Sharon, Pepe, Jan, Debbie, Deanna, Beth, Frankie, and others joining in on this thread.
 :dance

I had forgotten that 'Lil Kim was incarcerated, and did not know that Steve-O was in rehab, kudo's to him for balancing his life with this :clap thinking back he and Lacey did just fine too :clap
Did anyone catch the boo boo that came out of Gilles mouth that Cheryl kinda shushed him on when they got their marks :dunno :para I think I know what I heard, but don't know if the inference I caught was meant to be :lol
How's that for dancing around a PG thread :lol you all know I live in an R rated one :roflmao

Post by: Pepe on March 10, 2009, 05:11:44 AM
GOOD MORNING DWTS fans!!!

I have to say I liked Shawn and Mark best.  When they have a ice skater or gymnast I think they always have the edge to win with the type of training they have, I can imagine Shawn will excell with they start doing the dances with the flips !!!!  Sometimes I don't think it is quite fair.

Maks was fantastic, even my husband who watched the last hour mentioned what a fabulous dancer Maks was.  I couldn't get over how old Denise looked,  A lot of makeup sometimes makes you look older!!! 

Can't remember what Lil Kim was incarcerated for????????????? 

I sure hope people don't vote for Mellisa out of sympathy because of the Bachelor hope everyone keeps an open mind but she was very good and only two days practice to remember all those steps.  I was touched when she was crying at the end.  Bless her heart!!



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on March 10, 2009, 06:01:06 AM
Shirley, I agree about the "sympathy" vote, but I really think Melissa will be very, very good, and won't need any sympathy votes :clap she has been on a rollercoaster this last week, I think she's done so well, bless her heart for sure!!!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on March 10, 2009, 06:44:41 AM
I think they all did very well, for the first week - especially the two that had such a short time to practice. But, IMO, I think my girl Cheryl is back  :clap I think they may be the team to beat!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on March 10, 2009, 07:27:44 AM
Sharon,
I did catch a comment that could have a double meaning from Giles and Cheryl's interview with Samantha!   :naughty


Here is a report from July, 2005 about Lil Kim's jail time:

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1505262/20050706/lil_kim.jhtml

I was surprised it was mentioned as much as it was last evening, and that she joked about it.  Seems like serious stuff to me to have served time in prison and not something to make light of.  Just my opinion. 


I don't think Melissa will get sympathy votes because she was one of the best dancers last evening.  Just imagine how well she will do when she has a week to practice.  I am guessing being a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, she had to learn routines really fast, and her ballet background has already shown that it will be helpful.  Go Melissa!  Too bad she isn't Maks' partner!
:dance


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS

Sharon,
I'm going to stereotype here, but it does seem like prison time goes along with being a rapper!!


I just voted online 13 times (13 couples).  I spread my votes among five couples, and yes, Maks got some votes from me.  He's such a great dancer.  I wish we were voting for the pro dancers and not the stars!!!!  Oh, that's right.  In his case, I am!   :lol

PRISSY, I was a little shocked that Lil Kim was talking about prison too.  Not something I would think you would want to do on National TV.  Kind of turned me off!!   Yep wouldn't that be marvelous to put Maks with Melissa?   Dont think Denise is going to last long unless she loosens up some. 

I was thoroughly entertained last night for a change.

Some interesting choices in the stars this year.  Steve Wozniak probably doesn't have a chance in he** of winning, but he sure seems to be having a good time.  Melissa did very good on the routine for so little practice, but she has obviously had dance training.  You can tell by the way she moved.  Does that give her an unfair advantage in future weeks?  I don't understand why they picked some of the stars they did, but then again, I'm sure they (the network people who make the decisions) know what they're doing to get ratings.

Got to get back to work.  Bye for now.

Debbie

I was disappointed with Ty M. and L. Taylor.  I hope they can relax and do better next week.

If The View has not come on in your area today, go set your TV to record right now. Sherry is a Maks fan, and she visited the set of DWTS today - interviewed almost everyone on the show - all the time looking for Maks. She found him at the end of the segment, of course, and danced with him (after pushing Karina out of the way)  :lol  Best part - he takes his shirt off!   :thud

I did not know about the DWTS segment on THE VIEW today until too late.  We returned from delivering Meals on Wheels at about 11:45 am, and THE VIEW is on between 10 and 11 am here! 

I hope there will be  a Youtube of it.  I tried to watch on abc.com but I can't do it on this computer.  I will have to try later on the laptop.


Thanks, Frankie, even though the news was too late for me.  I hope other DWTS fans got to watch.

I am so sorry you all missed it - Sherry was so funny - I was laughing out loud. The other contestants were acting like she was doing a serious interview - Sherry would listen to each one, then say "Have You Seen Maks?"  :lol And you would have loved the push she gave Karina - after she did that, she turned to Maks and said "Well, she does have the ring!"  :roflmao  After their dance, maks ended up on his knees with his head on Sherry's "chest". Just really cute and funny - hope it can be watched on ABC.com - they have a lot of their shows available to watch there. I did check You Tube this afternoon, and the segment was not there at the time I checked.

Maks is our DWTS Fantasy Man!!  :dance   I really enjoyed the season when Maks and Mel B. were partners.  They were so cute and funny together.  His personality really came out.  And they were in the Final Two so we got to see him and his feet for a loooooong time.  And then with Lalia Ali he was in the Final Three;  so again a looooong season with Maks!! 
Denise, you have a lot to live up to!!!

I don't know if we can ever repeat a season like Maks with Mel B.  I will always feel like they should have won that year.  I think the free style hurt their chances because as I recall, it was a little too off the wall and the judges were not happy with it.


The saga of me trying to watch the DWTS segment on THE VIEW continues.  I was able to find the episode on ABC.com on the laptop.  I watched fragmented parts of the show and finally at the end, there was Sherry's DWTS part.  I see the beginning and she's asking someone about Maks;  then all of a sudden, there is Cameron Mathison (Ryan from ALL MY CHILDREN0), who danced a while back;  then POOF!  That was the end of it and the next thing I see are the ladies about to close the show!
:cry
Maybe eventually on Youtube!  I should probably set up the TiVo to automatically record THE VIEW everyday!   :yes

Prissy - that  (recording The View) is a good idea - I record several shows each day, then delete them if there is nothing interesting on them. The View mentions DWTS frequently, since both are ABC shows. There are lots of DWTS videos on You Tube - hopefully this show will be posted there someday!

What a show :clap :clap :clap
Thought Denise really improved tonight :clap :clap Yeah, we need Maksipoo around for awhile :slick Ty also was so much better, good for Chelsie her first season on the show as a pro :clap
But~~~~~the stories of the night were Melissa and Gilles, both couples were fantastic :dance :dance

Good Evening!

I just returned from Orchestra Rehearsal and have not watched my recording of  DWTS yet.  I'm glad to hear that Denise has improved and that Melissa is still really doing well.  GO MELISSA!!  :dance

I will post after I've watched and it may be in the morning.

I'm sorry - I guess it's because I have (and always have had) two left feet, but I think even the "bad" ones look good. I am beginning to think that the judges are trying to sway people like the Idol judges do! Julianne and her boyfriend were not that bad! Maks and Cheryl are still my favorite pros, though!

Feel bad for Steve-O hurting his back, but what was Lacey thinking with that awkward choreography :scratch I realize she's been pegged as the "rebel" and Steve-O certainly partners with her well with all the tattoos and attitude.  Last season with Lance they got much better marks when she conformed a bit, needs to do the same this season, if they even make it past this week :para
Steve Wozniak is a joy to watch simply for his enthusiasm and the fun he's having :clap :clap

Good show last night.  Does anyone other than me think that Bruno is being a real brat this year.  Seems like he used to be a little kinder!!  Love Cheryl and her partner and Mellissa and Tony second.  I thought for only the second show they were all good though.  So many injuries though, not good.  If Lacey insists on being a rebel though she is not going to get far I am afraid and not fair to her partners as they won't either.  I would have loved to have seen Derek paired with Shawn though, what a cute couple they would have been .

Good Morning!

I did get to watch my tape of DWTS last night but must admit I fast forwarded through some of it!  :naughty

Surprises last night:   How well Ty, the cowboy did, and I'm so glad Denise is improving, too.  (We have to keep Maks on the show.)  Shawn, Melissa, and Gilles are sill doing really well.  I'm happy for Melissa, being successful at this, after her "dumping" by Jason on THE BACHELOR. 

Some are writing on other threads, that this was all planned for Melissa to step in, but how could anyone have predicted the injuries by Jewel and Nancy O'Dell?  I think it's just lucky for everyone that Melissa was available and turned out to be such a talented dancer!!

YAY FOR MELISSA!

Who may go home tonight?  I'm kind of thinking it might be Steve W.  But it could be the other Steve, too, who was injured.  I think the cowboy, Ty, after last night, deserves to stay around a while longer.  Belinda might go, too.  She has not impressed me with her dancing.

Pepe,
It does seem that Len has taking the "kinder" tact, and that Bruno is being a little more critical this year.  :dunno

I'm off to vote, probably for Shawn, Melissa, Maks (oops, make that Denise!  :wink), Gilles, and Ty, too.

Pepe,
I believe here in Central Time, both Idol and DWTS come on at 7 and last for two hours.  I am not watching Idol this year so it's not a problem for me.  I guess fans of both will have to tape one and watch the other! :thumb




Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on March 17, 2009, 11:21:27 AM
Yep Shirley, it will be a problem, both on at 8pm, wonder if this will conflict all season or just while they are 2 hours in length :bduh I recall DWTS results coming on after Idol

SHARON, thanks so much for answering my question.  No problem for me as I have seen the dancing yesterday and am not always a fan of the results show so I will be watching American Idol.  Will tape DWTS in the computer room and watch that tomorrow.  I imagine tonight is going to be a good night.  It has been a long time since I have been excited about watching AI.  Enjoy Sharon !

PRISSY, lucky you getting it at 7:00.  AI is the only show my husband watches with me so will tape DWTS.  I am hoping BELINDA goes as she does not look comfortable at all to me.  Did anyone else notice but me that Karina did not look happy at all last night???  Maybe I am just imagining things!!!

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on March 18, 2009, 07:50:13 AM
Belinda was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and said she was not too disappointed to have left the show.  Her agent was the one who pushed for her to do DWTS and she was actually on her way to India and had to cancel the trip.  She told Jimmy that she would now go on to India as planned.

Pepe,
I agree that she did not look too comfortable dancing.  I feel badly for Jonathan that he is finished so early!  But the way injuries happen, he may need to step in for one of the pro guys at some point!  Not Maks, we hope! :wink

Jimmy said that he expected Steve W. to be on his show next week;  in other words, Steve W. will be the next to leave.

Whoppee, thanks Frankie I will be sure to watch.  It comes on here at 7:30 pm. 
I sure wish SHARON was here she will die when she hears she missed Maks!  She will be gone for a couple of days.

PRISSY, I had been watching Belinda even when she wasn't dancing when she would be sitting with the group and she never smiled, the others would be talking or laughing and she would be just sitting there with no expression on her face.

I think it was Sharon that said Belinda reminded her of Priscilla Presley.  And Priscilla was kind of like that, too, not a lot of expression.

Frankie,
We just arrived home at 7 pm, so I missed ET. :cry  I hope Maks will be on THE INSIDER later tonight.  :cross  Sometimes ET and THE INSIDER are like the same show!

(On a personal note, my niece Kristy is in town with her cute daughter, Taylor, and several family members met at Wendy's to get to see Kristy and Taylor.  Kristy had an announcement for us.  She is 10 and a half weeks pregnant and will have a baby in October!!  Another baby in the family!!) :wheee

Boy have we got ourselves one wonderful season of dancing to watch :clap :clap
I'm still not sure what Carrie Ann meant with her comment to Melissa :para :bduh I think she's giving 100% and is amazing.  Tony has never been in real contention before, so happy for him to have such a terrific partner~~~go Melissa :clap :clap
Why am I not liking Cheryl and Gilles so much :bduh they are terrific, but his dancing leaves me a bit cold :dunno
Shawn and Mark are so cute, she was outstanding tonight, as well as 'Lil Kim and Derek :clap :clap
Julianne and Chuck,Kym and David and Ty and Chelsie were much improved
Edyta and Lawrence are just OK for me too.
I hate to say it but our Maksipoo is in trouble, Denise is just not wowing me at all :sniff :sad
Steve-O, Steve and Holly will be fighting for the dance off IMHO.

David & Kym

Chuck & Julianne
Ty & Chelsie

20
Lawrence & Edyta

17
Holly & Dymitry

16
Denise & Maks

15
Steve-O & Lacey

10
Steve W and Kym

Funny Tom line tonight:  "If they get through to next week, Edyta is going to wear the other half of her costume!"  :roflmao

I think the Final Three may be Melissa, Shawn, and Gilles.  I am really excited for Melissa who is doing so well after stepping in at the last minute.  This evening, she reminded me of Ginger Rogers and the lady dancers of the 40's who would dance with Fred Astaire, the way she moves and gives those high kicks.  I would really like to see Melissa walk away as the winner this year.

Oh my!  Maks and Denise!  Maks did not luck out with a good partner this year.  I'm afraid they won't be around long.  When I voted, I still gave them a couple of my 12 votes because I am not ready to see them (Maks) go yet.  But it is almost painful to watch Denise dance!!  :para

Maks in that pink "Carman Miranda" get up!!  Too funny;  especially when his top scooted down!   :lmao

I am guessing it will be the two Steve's in the dance off, but it could very well be Denise and Maks with one of the Steve's!  :eek

Oh my I can not get MAKS out of my mind.  I have to admit that I am bad as I didn't even watch Denise dance as my eyes were strictly on MAKS.  I have never seen anyone dance like him, so smooth and fluid.  Loved his sense of humor when he was all dressed up like a woman, wished Denise would leave some of the eye makeup off and maybe if Maks would give Denise a drink before they go on she would loosen up a bit.  Can't stand the thought of Maks leaving this early.  He is a good sport but am ready for Steve W to go home now.

The judges' votes count for half, and the call in/internet votes make up the other half. I can't believe both Steves are still in. I'm sure the show will let Maks dance in special numbers, though, as they did tonight and last year, too. I just hate that every year they have a celebrity who is able to hang on while better dancers get voted off.  Denise wasn't great, but she was not the worst dancer.

I really think it should have been one of the Steve's!!!

I did enjoy seeing Edyta and Alec dance together and also Karina's dance with Maks, Tony and Dmitry.

Cloris and Corky were a hoot showing the steps of the two new dances for next week.  I know they got a little "wearing" the season they were on, but they could be a comedy duo!!  :lol

:dance  :dance   :dance

EDIT:
About the voting.  The judges votes count half and the home viewers votes count for half.  On the Results Show, after the two couples have the dance off,  the judges' votes from the previous night are discarded and their new votes on the results show are combined again with the viewers votes. 
I really expected that a lot of voters would be voting for Maks more than Denise, like me.  Sometimes a group organizes on line to keep a "bad" dancer on the show.  I wonder if that is happening with the two Steve's.  Here is Denise, with a score of 20 from the judges, and Steve W. with just a 10!  I can't imagine who would want to vote for someone who is such a poor dancer!! :dunno

Hello DWTS fans!  I know this is probably a small consolation, but you might be interested in knowing that Denise Richards was once a "Bond girl" and was voted the "Worst Bond Girl Ever".   Not at all surprising to me.....Interesting article....

Quote
Denise Richards Voted Worst Bond Girl Ever
Ursula Andress was named the best
 
Denise Richards, 'The World Is Not Enough'Denise Richards has a curious distinction in the world of 007, but it's one she'd rather live without.

The 36-year-old actress was named the Worst Bond Girl Ever by fans, reports the UK's Daily Mail from an unscientific poll.

Richards played nuclear physicist Christmas Jones (you call her Dr. Jones!), a scientist with a penchant for midriff-baring tanktops and short shorts, in 1999's "The World is Not Enough" opposite Pierce Brosnan playing the British super spy.

One fan commented, "Even Q didn't have a gadget to escape from that disaster."

The second most-hated Bond girl was former "Charlie's Angels"/"That '70s Show" actress Tanya Roberts who played geologist Stacey Sutton in 1985's "A View to a Kill."

The original Bond girl Ursula Andress was named the best for playing Honey Ryder in "Dr. No." Her emergence from the water is an iconic scene. Second in line for praise is ex-"Avengers" star Honor Blackman, who played the colorfully named kitty Galore in "Goldfinger."

Blackman was noted for "introducing fans to the series' first real woman -- a gorgeous dame who can fly a plane and kick butt as well as coo and woo."

The full lists of Worst and Best Bond Girls follow:

WORST BOND GIRLS

1. Denise Richards as Dr Christmas Jones in "The World Is Not Enough"
2. Tanya Roberts as Stacey Sutton in "A View To A Kill"
3. Corrine Clery as Corinne Dufour in "Moonraker"
4. Maryam D'Abo as Kara Milovy in "The Living Daylights"
5. Karin Dor as Helga Brandt in "You Only Live Twice"
6. Britt Ekland as Mary Goodnight in "The Man With the Golden Gun"
7. Carey Lowell as Pam Bouvier in "License to Kill"
8. Lois Chiles as Holly Goodhead in "Moonraker"
9. Lynn-Holly Johnson as Lili Bahl in "For Your Eyes Only"
10. Maud Adams as Octopussy in, you guessed it, "Octopussy"

BEST BOND GIRLS

1. Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in "Dr. No"
2. Honor Blackman as kitty Galore in "Goldfinger"
3. Diana Rigg as Tracey Divicenzo in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
4. Eva Green as Vesper Lynd in "Casino Royale"
5. Barbara Bach as Anya Amasova in "The Spy Who Loved Me"
6. Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp in "Goldeneye"
7. Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin in "Tommorrow Never Dies"
8. Lotte Enya as Rosa Klebb in "From Russia With Love"
9. Jill St. John as Tiffany Case in "Diamonds Are Forever"
10. Carole Bouquet as Melina Havelock in "For Your Eyes Only"

I'm not sure I still understand the voting - how could the judges changing their votes one or two points make a difference to the thousahds of call in/internet votes? People must have really disliked Denise -  I am sure that Maks will still be on the show from time to time, though.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on March 25, 2009, 10:19:55 AM
I think that they are needing to use the viewers' votes for the dance off because the judges could have a tie in their votes for the dance off couples (which, I believe, happened last week with Steve W and Belinda?)  In case of a judges' tie, the viewers' votes decide the outcome in the dance off.

Also, the judges' votes are still very important because these three people make up 50% of the vote, so each of their votes is worth a whole lot.  All of the viewers votes are then counted as 50% of the total.  I'm not a great mathematician, but it is obvious that my 12 votes Monday evening were not very significant in the millions of votes cast by the viewers.

And, yes, Denise just did not connect with the audience.  Personality and talent count for a lot.  I thought it might be her "baggage" from her divorce from Charlie Sheen and other tabloid antics.  But, Mel B., Maks' partner who was very popular and had a lot of talent, also had a lot of "baggage' including a child out of wedlock with Eddie Murphy, but that did not keep her from ending up as runner up.

I still thought enough Maks' fans would vote for Denise to keep Maks on the show.

I will continue to watch because I like Melissa and Shawn and several others on the show.  I am sure that Maks will be utilized in lots of ways.  Now, wouldn't it be a shame if Tony, Melissa's partner, got injured (not seriously, but enough to keep him from dancing) and Maks had to step in and take his place.  Oops!  I didn't "say that out loud,"  did I???   :naughty   :blush

PRISSY, I so agree that Denise simply did not connect with the audience.  That seems to be an ongoing theme with her.  So beautiful, so photogenic but her personality seems flat.  I'm not sure if that is a result of years of disappointment with relationships or if that is just the way she is.  I posted the above article about her being named the worst "James Bond girl" because this is another example of how she has been given  opportunities of a lifetime, only to then blow it royally.  Surely we all agree that being partnered with Max is definitely "an opportunity of a lifetime".  What an absolute shame. 

As to Tony suddenly having to bow out of the show, and then Max comes in to save the day, well..... :giggle :naughty it sounds like a good idea to me.

PRISSY, I so agree that Denise simply did not connect with the audience.  That seems to be an ongoing theme with her.  So beautiful, so photogenic but her personality seems flat.  I'm not sure if that is a result of years of disappointment with relationships or if that is just the way she is.  I posted the above article about her being named the worst "James Bond girl" because this is another example of how she has been given  opportunities of a lifetime, only to then blow it royally.  Surely we all agree that being partnered with Max is definitely "an opportunity of a lifetime".  What an absolute shame. 

As to Tony suddenly having to bow out of the show, and then Max comes in to save the day, well..... :giggle :naughty it sounds like a good idea to me.


Thea,
I wonder how Tony is feeling today!!  Any sore muscles?  :dunno  :lol 


I'm not surprised Denise was the worst Bond girl ever.  No personality!  And Kim Kardashian was the same way;  they're beautiful but like paper dolls or cardboard figures;  no substance to them.  And I am guessing the audience is showing they are not swayed by a beautiful girl;  there has to be more there.

Poor Maks!  He must have been so frustrated trying to light a fire under Denise.  In their rehearsals, he tried to get her to feel the music and not count steps.  I know you play piano;  imagine how it would be to be counting every beat of every measure instead of just playing and feeling the music.   I think you know what I mean.  You get a rhythm going and it just happens without conscious counting.

I really liked how Bruno said that the music just comes out of Melissa;  she feels it when she dances.  Melissa may be my favorite;  especially, if some how, some way, she ends up needing a new partner and it ends up being Maks!!!!!! :wink
:wiggle

Oh, I know exactly what you mean.  And unfortunately often it's a matter of whether or not you have rhythm and music in your soul.  Denise obviously doesn't.  I love your description of her as cardboard figure or paper tdoll.  She was definitely two-dimensional.  The complete opposite of Max, who exudes passion in every movement , out of every pore, ....or my, my I must be having a hot flash!!!  :lol   :hot2

 :lmao  That would be good for the ratings, for sure.  Although I must say I do like Tony and I wish him the best.  He seems to be a good husband and family man in addition to being a very talented dancer and instructor.  He really impresses me and I would be thrilled to see him win.

I also think that there were worse dancers than Denise, but I think sometimes the very worse (i.e. the Steves) get a ton of the votes to "save" them and therefore it is someone near the bottom that gets the boot.  This reminds me of AI. :shock

I am sure we will be seeing Max dancing still...even if it is just on the results shows.   

Chin up girls!!!  :lmao

You will have to save the drool for that night...  :roflmao :roflmao

SHARON, I still feel like a ton of bricks hit me.  How in the world did this happen, Maks leaving.  There were at least two other dancers much worse than Denise.  How could Steve W get a 10 from the judges and still be there?  Don't think I like this way of voting maybe we should just go by the judges marks.

Sharon,
I am looking forward to DWTS tonight, and I don't have an orchestra rehearsal.  :clap  We just finished a week of rehearsals and a weekend of performances of the operetta, THE MERRY WIDOW, so we deserve a night off.  :violin

Is it just me or does it seem like an awfully long time since last Monday? :dunno

Here is a link to an article about Melissa from US magazine.  Evidently Maks is saying it's unfair for Melissa to be on the show because she was a cheerleader and has ballet experience.  There have been several who had some dance experience in their backgrounds including Maks' partner Mel B. who kind of danced with the group she is in, the Spice Girls.   And I loved Maks and Mel B. together.  Krisiti Yamaguchi, Shawn Johnson, Brook Burke, Jane Seymour,  Drew Lachey, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone fall in this category.

PRISSY, it does seem like a long time since a Monday was here.  Finally something to watch on TV.  Although I did enjoy my weekend watching Tiger Woods play golf and win!!!!  Yep I mentioned ice skaters and gymnasts having an unfair advantage as they have such a variety of body and arm movement so don't think it fair that Maks picks on Melissa.  And my goodness Jayne Seymour took ballet for years. 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on March 30, 2009, 03:19:16 PM
Pepe,

On American Idol, we have contestants that all have a background in singing.  Some are almost professional singers or have had a lot of experience singing, like Clay.  Some have even made CD's.

Yet, DWTS is expected by many to have stars that have not had any dancing experience.   I know they don't want professional dancers, but if there's a little dancing in their background, it seems to help and we don't have the really awful dancers like Cloris, Steve W, and even Denise, who wasn't too bad, but had no natural talent.

I think that Melissa being a cheerleader had to learn routines really fast, and that's what's helping her on DWTS.  The same with Kristi Y.   She had to learn different skating routines and I think that helped her in learning the different dances. 

I think Maks speaks out without thinking some times.  He was one of the ones who talked about Cheryl being a little plump and now he is saying Melissa should not have been chosen to be on the show. 

Sharon,
I liked what you said.  He's mad he didn't get Melissa as a partner and Denise turned out to be a "dud."  :lol

I am SO out of the loop.  We have been driving back and forth so much from both houses that I have missed several episodes.  I didn't even know Melissa was on the show!!!   :eek  Now maybe I'll have a favorite.
I already told hubby I was watching this whole thing tonight.  And a girlfriend is supposed to call back, and if she doesn't hurry, she is out of luck tonight.   :lol

Less then a half hour until DWTS! :bouncy
I almost didn't watch this season until I heard Melissa was going to be on, now I'm so glad I've been watching, :bigsmile I find myself just smiling during the routines. :clap
I was really sad to see Maks go, (I don't like him picking on Melissa though! :naughty ) but my favorites to win are either Melissa (She's wonderful Woody! Wait until you see her tonight! :clap ) or Gilles, and I think most improved are Ty and Shawn, (poor thing, I hope she doesn't have to leave the show after that crazy guy stalking her. :para ) and Chuck Wicks, well, I just think he's cute. :slick (I don't think I've ever heard a single song by him though. :para )
The Steve's and Holly, must be the next to go, isn't this week a double elimination? Hopefully we can get rid of both Steve's at once! :please :smile

I am loving Melissa, her feet are perfect, why am I always fixated on feet??? It was the same with Maks :slick :lol
Cheryl and Gilles are magic for sure, but I must give kudo's to 'Lil Kim and Derek :notworthy they were terrific :clap
Ty has come so far in this short time, never would have thunk it :lol
Both Steve's can go any time, and poor Holly :bduh :lol
Funny, Julianne and Chuck just never really get there.  Think of Julianne with Apolo, too bad a RL couple seem out of sync :para

Post by: Prissy on March 30, 2009, 08:43:45 PM
This is such a joyful show!  I think it's so popular because it makes people happy to watch it!!  :bigsmile

Judges' scores this evening:

30:
Gilles and Cheryl

29:
Melissa and Tony

27:
Lil' Kim and Derek

25:
Ty and Chelsie
Shawn and Mark

22:
David and Kym
Chuck and Julianne

19:
Lawrence and Edyta

16:
Holly and Dmitry

15:
Steve-O and Lacey

12:
Steve W. and Karina

I continue to be impressed with how well Ty is doing and Lil' Kim was great tonight and got the first "10."    Gilles and Melissa continue to shine.  Shawn was penalized, I felt, because of her gymnastic moves, which were of course, perfect.  The judges thought there was not enough dance content.  I don't think she had any more jumps than Melissa!  :dunno

The bottom three should be Holly, and the two Steve's.  The two Steve's should leave tomorrow. :yes

GOOD MORNING, SHARON, PRISSY, KELLY and WOODY!!!!!!!!!  My what an entertaining evening with DWTS.  I have to say though I feel so sorry for Karina, it is like they are making a joke of her with the partner she has.  Why does someone like Steve want to be ridiculed by the judges like that, why would he want to be on that show.   :para

My favorites were:

1. Giles and Cheryl
2. Little Kim and Derek
3. Mellisa and Tony

Jewel must be so proud of her husband, hey he is really kicking butt.  Who would have thought he would turn into such a great dancer.  Yep you have to watch those quiet ones!!   :lol

I swear this may sound odd but everytime I see Melissa and Tony together, they almost look like they could be brother and sister.  Also I don't care if Julianne's boyfriend can sing or dance I love just looking at him, I think he is gorgeous!!!!

Thanks for answering my question, Kelly!!!

Derek and L'il Kim was one of the dances I missed.   :bang  I love Derek!!!   I think he is so talented.  I love Julianne, too.  But from what I saw, Mellissa, Gilles, and Shawn were my favorite.  I'm not surprised Shawn was marked down for all the gymnastic moves.  It IS a dance contest. 

I agree.  I hope the two Steve's go home, too.   :wink

Good Evening!

I am going to watch and type at the same time!!

So far, Holly and Dmitry  and  Steve-O and Lacey are in the bottom three.  Then Steve W. and Karina were added to the bottom three.


Pro dancers that have danced so far include Derek and Lacey and ??  another man and two gals.  (I don't think that was Maks with really short hair, but??);  Jonathan and his wife, Anna, Louis, and ???   Now the pro dancers dancing are Cheryl and Tony and Kym and Dmitry. 

The one thing I like about the guest singers is we get to see the pro dancers do their "thang!!" :dance

Eliminated this evening:

Steve Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff

Thanks, Sharon!

I corrected that.  I think Chelsie is Ty's partner;  kind of hard to keep them all straight!  :hypno

I did recognize Jonathan dancing, I believe, with his wife, Anna, a beautiful redhead.  But who were the others?  Tom only said the pro dancers.  Surely, that one dancer with really short hair wasn't Maks, but the way he moved and pointed his feet......:dunno

My sister has met so many nice friends since she moved back to Memphis after our Mom's death - now she and this particular friend can share the driving and visit Louisiana often.  :clap Hopefully, I won't have to miss DWTS and Idol any more this Spring - the satellite guy is coming this weekend to repair the damage from our satellite being struck by lightening!  :para Hopefully, I will be watching DWTS again this Monday!

FRANKIE, that is wonderful your sister has met so many new friends.  Thanks for mentioning Julianne winning that award.  Good for her.  Glad to see some talented people that can really sing win some of these awards.  I have to say I am not a fan of Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus.  I was not overly fond of Carrie Underwood either on Idol.  Did not care for her attitude but have watched her and admired how she has handled herself, she sure knows how to pick songs.  Always something different and therefore she has constant hits.

Sharon - I wish were at the place that everyone would be doing both dances (are we at that place yet?) And I can't remember - do the teams get to choose which dance they do, or does the show decide for them? I hope Cheryl and Giles get to do the Paso Doble  :flame  :lol

Pepe - my sister deserves to have some fun now - she worked, plus lived with our Mom the last 7 years of her life - and Mom could be difficult as her illness progressed. I do think that Carrie shows that Idol can choose the correct person sometimes - she has a wonderful voice. Looking at her makes me a little sad for Clay though - Carrie and her management team have done everything right for her career - I only wish that Clay could have had management just as good!

In any case, I hope I get to see DWTS tonight - the wind is howling, and I've heard that power is off in some parts of our little town - holding on here for now, though!!!!!

I also thought Shawn and Mark were fabulous :clap :clap
I think Tony may have had just too many intricate moves in his choreography. I realize  he wants to put the heat on Gilles and Cheryl, for Melissa to be equal to Gilles they need to be just a little better, but they just didn't quite get there tonight.
Lil' Kim and Derek were terrific tonight too :clap

Good Evening!

I played hookey from orchestra practice and stayed home to watch DWTS "live."   :naughty  Actually, I helped Skip cover several plant beds with frost cloth because we are expecting temperatures to drop to 32/31 this evening, and we finished just in time  for DWTS! :thumb

The dancers danced the Paso Doble (PD) or the Viennese Waltz (VW) this evening.

Judges' Scores:

29:
Gilles & Cheryl  (PD)

26:
Shawn & Mark (VW)
Lil' Kim & Derek (VW)

25:
Melissa & Tony (PD)

23:
Chuck & Julianne (VW)

22:
David & Kym (VW)

21:
Ty & Chelsie (PD)

20:
Lawrence & Edyta (PD)

18:
Steve-O & Lacey (VW)


Again, Gilles and Cheryl were just outstanding!  He should have had a 30, I thought.    And Lil' Kim is really stepping up.  I think she would have had a higher score if her routine had been a little more complicated. 

It seems like there are always two dances for each show and they alternate the dances among the couples.  I remember that Melissa danced the waltz on the first show so I knew she would not do the waltz again.

Maybe Maks & Karina will dance on the Results Show tomorrow!  :cross

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/1074Sexy_Party_Maksim_Chmerkovskiy_.jpg)

I think that Steve-O improved but is still not as good as the others.  It will probably be Steve-O and ??? in the dance off.  Maybe Lawrence or David!  :dunno  (I hope Ty sticks around a little longer.  Such a nice guy!)

Always fun to watch this show!

That was beautiful.  The couples, including  Edyta and Jason, were all excellent:  Fabian and Marlee Matlin, Cheryl and Christian, Derek and Shannon,  Mark and Kristi Y.  and Louis and Priscilla Presley.  I always had special feelings for Marlee and Fabian.  They were so good together. 

I watched it twice.  So sweet and it brought tears to my eyes!!  Clay's beautiful voice and the dancers with the Viennese Waltz.   :heartburst

Thanks to all of you for the information on last night's show that I missed.   :bang  Especially Prissy.  I think I have missed more episodes than seen this season.  But it will give me a good idea what to look forward to tonight.  There are so many of these dancers that I like.  I hate to see anyone go.  It HAS to be Steve - o.  He is the last one left not showing much talent IMHO.

I think that Lawrence Taylor has been the only football player that I haven't been impressed with.  I would like to see him doing a little better by this point in the season.

I have been impressed with Lil Kim, Melissa and Shawn for women.

I have been impressed with Gilles, but I would like to see Ty and Chuck step it up and give him a run for his money. :wink

I still loved Cheryl and Emmit Smith.  Gads that guy had an infectious smile.  So many so close this year it is hard to choose.  Love Derek and partner, love Cheryl and partner and love Melissa, don't know who to choose!!!   :para

Hello DWTS Fans,

I forgot to mention that I did vote on line last night.  9 votes that I divided among Melissa, Shawn, Gilles, and Lil' Kim.  I think they all deserve to stay around for a while.  I still hope that Ty and Chuck make it through and that it is Steve-O and Lawrence or David in the dance off. 

Really, after Steve-O is gone, it's going to be hard to see some of the others go. :cry  They have really given it their all.
:dance  :dance   :dance

Pepe,
I remember being on vacation and voting for Emmitt and Cheryl from a hotel room!!  I really liked Emmitt.

Sharon,
I really loved Fabian and Marlee together.  I hope they have Fabian come back again.  DWTS has been on enough seasons now that we are feeling closer to the professional dancers than the stars.

:hugs

:dance   :dance   :dance

Good Evening!

Lil' Kim and Derek danced the encore dance, I think.  I looked up and they were dancing.  I don't remember Len saying they were chosen.  But they had a high score and deserved it.


 :clap  :clap  :clap  Maks and Karina in a special dance to Etta James' "At Last!!"  :clap   :clap   :clap

:eek   :eek   :eek  Oh no!  Steve-O is safe!  :eek   :eek   :eek

Who will be in the dance off?  :dunno

They just announced that David and Kym and Lawrence and Edyta are in the Dance Off.  Ty was standing with them and is safe!!  I thought that David and Lawrence would go soon, but not before Steve-O.  There must be a fan group keeping Steve-O in the competition! :shock


Judges' scores tonight:

David and Kym - 24

Lawrence and Edyta - 20


Eliminated this evening:

David Alan Grier and Kym Johnson
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/david-alan-grier-and-kym-johnson.jpg)


Of the two, I really thought Lawrence should go.  David has really danced fairly well, I thought.  And he always gave the impression he was really trying and wanted to do the very best he could.  He just may not be as popular as some of the other "stars." 


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on April 07, 2009, 07:23:33 PM
Yep Prissy~~~Maks and Karina to Etta James :flame :smack did anyone notice Maks'feet :bigsmile
I also thought Lawrence should have lost tonight, even though I love Edyta, he is just too intense or something to me.  David Allen Grier danced better IMHO :wink
Steve-O must have fans out there we don't know about :para

I don't think the right person got kicked off tonight, but the Maks/Karina dance was spectacular (I could say something else, but because of our young members, and because I don't want to get kicked off of the site I won't!  :slick  :zip

I wish Edyta could get a really good partner. She seems to get a difficult to work with partner most seasons.  I really like Melissa, too (they make such a cute couple - is he married?), but Cheryl and Giles are my favorite this season.

Frankie, I agree, except Jason Taylor, she and he were amazing, but she really deserves a terrific partner to win once :clap :clap
Tony is married with new twin daughters Frankie, or I'd also think he and Melissa would be a cute couple :wink

Unfortunately, I was very tired last night, and I wanted to vote for Idol.  So I missed the results show.  I feel like I have missed most of this season.

I also wanted to find out my local election results, so I rushed to the computer when I got up this morning.  And do you know that this was the only place I could find out who got voted off???  Thanks  to Prissy and others that keep us up to date.
I am surprised Steve-O is still there.  I think he may have many fans from his Jacka** show.  But I do give him credit because he has been trying a little harder.  I think it will be interesting here on in.  There are many good dancers!!!

Heads Up, Ladies! The weekend version of Entertainment Tonight announced that Maks would be their correspondent behind the scenes for this Monday's show, and he will be reporting/interviewing dancers on Tuesday's Entertainment Tonight  :clap I think they should make him a permanent correspondent for the rest of this season, as they did Marie Osmond last year.  (From my lips to God's ears!  :roflmao )

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 13, 2009, 09:09:54 PM
Good Evening!

I did go to orchestra practice so just watched DWTS on the TiVo recording.  I really think all of the stars are stepping up their game!!  My favorites tonight were Lil' Kim and Derek, Gilles and Cheryl, and Shawn and Mark.

The two dances tonight were the Jive (J) and Rumba (R)

Judges' scores:

Lil' Kim & Derek (J) - 28   (Boo! Len!)

Melissa & Tony (R) - 27

Shawn & Mark (R) - 26

Gilles & Cheryl (J) - 26

Chuck & Julianne (R) - 23

Lawrence & Edyta (J) - 22

Ty & Chelsie (J) - 18

Steve-O & Lacey (R) - 16


I think the bottom three are correct:  Steve-O, Ty and Lawrence.  Ty is such a nice guy, but really not a good dancer.  I think I will vote online for Lil' Kim, Melissa, Shawn and Gilles.  These four deserve to stay in the competition.  I really thought that Lil' Kim and especially, Derek, were excellent, and I thought Gilles was excellent, too, in a difficult routine. 

Sharon,
I don't think Chuck is that great a dancer, but not really bad.  I think his ranking is correct by the judges' scores; in the middle of the pack, but once Steve-O, Lawrence and Ty are gone, I think Chuck will be gone.  He should go before the top four, in my opinion. :yes

:dance   :dance   :dance   :dance

Post by: clayMaine-iac on April 14, 2009, 02:08:55 AM

Chuck needs to lighten up.  :lmao

Funny listening to my husband's comments last night on the dancers.  He was just like Len!!  Thought Chuck and Julianne should have done that dance in the bedroom.  :lol  Also asked me just what kind of a dance that Cheryl and Giles was doing!!!  This is really the first time he has watched the whole show with me.  I have to admit I was not real impressed with anyone.  I think I will go with Shawn and Mark last night. Derek and Lil Kim is always a treat to watch also.

Sharon,

I think I misunderstood what you were asking about Chuck & Julianne!  :doh   Were you referring to how "sexy" that dance was?   :blush 
 It was rather  :flame

I liked what Mark said about his Rumba with Shawn!  "It was age appropriate."   :lol

Tom had so many good lines last night, I wish I had written them all down!!  If I have time, I'll go back and get some "Tom quotes."  He is such a quick wit.  I do remember he said at one point that Len could be a "cash cow" for a psychiatrist.  :roflmao

I enjoyed the show last night, and I'm beginning to think we have a few more contenders.

It was obvious the judges want Steve-O to go.  A 4 for heaven's sake???  I think the scoring was pretty accurate.

I was so very impressed by Derek (I love him) and Lil Kim, I definitely think they are contenders now.  She has really worked hard.  I agree with all of you that it is between Shawn, Mellissa, Lil kim and Gilles. 

I thought the Rumbas were a bit ridiculous last night.  When they aren't sexy enough, the judges complain.  When they are too sexy, they say they should be in the bedroom.   :doh  I love Julianne, but I don't think they are contenders.  Can we fast forward 3 weeks???

I hope Steve-O goes home, but he seems to have a following out there.  I am a fan of Lil Kim more and more each week.  We will see.   :wink

Good Evening!

I am watching DWTS as I type!!

Lil' Kim and Derek danced the encore dance, their fantastic jive, to "Jailhouse Rock."   :clap

Lil' Kim and Lawrence were revealed as safe!

Then we saw a special presentation from WEST SIDE STORY.

Rascal Flatts sang and Tony and Julianne did a very physical dance with so many lifts.  Tony is a strong guy! 

Shawn and Melissa were revealed as safe.

The stars are going to get to design the costumes for next week.  Lawrence wants to put more clothes on Edyta!!  :lol
Should be interesting!!

Macy's Stars of Dance presented Carmen Electra and the kitty [the computer won't let me write P u s s y]Cat Dancers.  Carmen is not a great dancer, but great looking!

Rascal Flatts now with "Revolution."  Mark and Chelsie, I think, danced with another couple.

Gilles is safe.

Chuck is safe.

Bottom two are:  Steve-O and Lacey  and  Ty and Chelsie

Eliminated this evening:

Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/steve-o-and-lacey-schwimmer.jpg)

I think it was time for Steve-O to go.  It may be Ty's turn next week.

The more I see Melissa, the more she seems to resemble our older granddaughter.  Something about her smile and shape of her face.

Prissy - you are right - your beautiful ganddaughter does resemble Melissa.

I, too, think the right person went home - I still have not watched the actual dances, but from the clips I think all is as it should be. I also think, from past dances, that Ty or Lawrence should go home next week - after those two I think the decision will be really hard to make!

And I watched Maks on ET - he did a good job as correspondent, I think!

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 20, 2009, 09:50:11 PM
Good Evening!

Yes, orchestra practice, so I just finished watching DWTS on the TiVo recording.  I agree that the dancers are all doing well and it's going to be hard to see some of them go. 

Sharon asked about what the dances would be this evening and there were not just two dances but several dances.

Judges' scores and dances:

Melissa & Tony - 29   Argentine Tango

Shawn & Mark - 28    Cha Cha Cha

Chuck & Julianne - 27   Samba

Gilles & Cheryl - 27   Viennese Waltz

Lil' Kim & Derek - 26   Rumba

Ty & Chelsie - 24   Viennese Waltz

Lawrence & Edyta - 21  Viennese Waltz


The group dance was fun with dances from the sixties.  And, Frankie, I had white go go boots, too.  I even have a picture of me with my elementary students and I'm wearing a mini skirt and white go go boots!   :shock


I think Lawrence may be going home and Ty may be in the bottom two with him.

Derek tried to "tone" Lil' Kim's sexiness down a bit for their Rumba and I think that from the judges' comments, they want to see Lil' Kim be herself.

"Tomisms"  Tom commenting on Edyta in her long coat with fur collar:  "One used way too much fabric!"
Edyta got tangled a bit in her long scarf attached to her long dress:  "We've only been putting Edyta in these [skimpy] costumes prior to tonight for her own safety."   :roflmao 

Always a fun show!!

It was interesting to see what costumes were designed by the dancers.  I thought Edyta's gown was beautiful, even though she did get a little tangled. :lol

The group dance is always great!!  :clap :clap

I do hate to see anyone go home.  I do think it might be LT. :cry

Loved the show last night.  Everyone was so good it is hard to pick a favorite, I so enjoy listening to Ty talk I hate to see him go.  so funny Edyta talking about her dress and to much material on!!!  They said they would have dancers on tonight for us to vote on and that dancer would be on the show next year.  I wonder who will be leaving to make room for that dancer.  I don't want to see any of them leave and really don't want a new dancer but want Alec to come back.



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 21, 2009, 05:33:05 AM
Pepe,

I would like to see Alec and Fabian back as regular pro dancers.  Of course, we always want Maks.  Too bad he couldn't have had Melissa this year, but I am happy Tony has such a good partner.

Only three star gals left:  Melissa, Shawn and LIl' Kim.  I don't think they will be going home anytime soon.  Gilles is the best star male dancer, but has not been on top of the scoring these last couple of weeks.  Chuck really improved last evening.  He seemed more relaxed and  let his personality show more.  Ty is such a sweetheart and a gentleman, I love to hear him talk, too, Pepe.  And he has improved.

I voted online for Melissa, Shawn, Lil' Kim and Gilles last night.   When they are the last four left, as I believe they should be, I don't know who will win.  It could be anyone of them.

Do you all remember that Julianne said that also about this season?  She said she wasn't going to be on, then she changed her mind, so..........

We are getting to know the pro dancers so well, it's hard to see any of them go!! :cry  I even like Lacey now, but didn't at first.

Sharon - I just happened to see Julianne on Entertainment Tonight when she made that announcement - as Prissy said, though, she has said that before. But with a CD out, and her boyfriend in country music, I bet she means it this time - she will probably be touring to support her CD.

Eliminated this evening:

Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/lawrence-taylor-and-edyta-sliwinska.jpg)

I think this was the right choice.  Ty was left standing with Lawrence but wasn't necessarily in the Bottom Two.  I kind of think he was, but ?????

The judges' encore dance was the Group Dance which was lots of fun to see again.

There was also a new competition to find a new pro dancer for next season.  Alec Mazo's brother danced and was really good. 

There was a pro couple who danced near the end who were amazing.  He spun her on his head at one point and she stood on his chest as he stood at the end.  :shock

Always fun to watch!

Sharon,
I really like Melissa and Shawn, too.  It would be really something if Melissa would win, considering how she came in at the last minute and had been hurt by Jason on THE BACHELOR.  It's nice to see her doing so well and happy!!

Pepe,
I loved hearing the Celtic Women and that dancing couple was just amazing.  I did notice that the guy didn't look so much like a dancer;  looked kind of rough, but what a talent he and the woman had!!

Looking forward to tomorrow night.  I'm wondering if this might be the last week for Ty??  :dunno We're reaching the point where it's going to be hard to see any  of them go.  :cry

PRISSY, I may look for a CD of "The Celtic Women", I hate to admit but I have never heard of them, they were wonderful.  The dancing couple I wonder who they were.  They did more acrobats really than dancing I think but they were fantastic and such a joy to watch. 

SHARON, It would be nice to see Melissa and Tony win,  yep she deserves it!!!!  The others are good but think Tony and Melissa are good every week although I have to say I love Derek and Lil Kim.

Melissa and Tony

I'm looking forward to the show.  I really think Ty should be the one leaving, but I have enjoyed him on the show and hearing him speak;  such a gentleman, too!

I have orchestra practice on Monday evenings, but we will finish our season the middle of May.  DWTS will probably end about then, too.  My Monday's will really be empty!!  :para

Oh what a night :clap :clap
I can't remember a season I have been so entertained :dance but so sorry Melissa has an injury, she is my personal favorite :hugg
I have to say that Ty, makes me  :bigsmile and :lol and :angel he has worked harder than anyone IMHO to be the best he can be~~~kudo's to Chelsie, not only a new pro this year, but a perfect partner for a partner who needed lots of work, and brought him there :notworthy the spray tan cracked me up :roflmao
Lil' Kim is on fire I must say, what a competitor she is also :clap

Judges' scores plus group dance scores

Lil' Kim & Derek  Paso Doble - 28   Team Tango - 28    Total - 56

Giles & Cheryl   Lindy Hop - 27       Team Tango - 28    Total - 55

Shawn & Mark   Samba - 27          Team Mambo - 25    Total - 52

Ty & Chelsie      Salsa - 24               Team Tango - 28    Total - 52

Chuck & Julianne   Cha Cha - 26    Team Mambo - 25    Total - 51

Melissa & Tony    Jive - 21              Team Mambo - 25    Total - 46


What a shame Melissa didn't get to dance.  And what a shame she didn't give her all in the rehearsal.  I think that the couples should always do their best in the rehearsals and dress rehearsals.  You just never know if that will be the dance being judged!! :yes   If Melissa had given a little more performance in the rehearsal, her scores might have been higher. 

I am going to give Melissa all of my six online votes because I think she will need them.

The crowd really liked Lil' Kim and Ty, too!

Great show as always!    I can't predict who will go but I hope it isn't Melissa.

Poor Melissa, no one deserves all the bad breaks she is getting.  PRISSY I don't think Melissa was giving her all in rehearsals as I think she was really hurting I could see it on her face, bless her heart.  The funny thing is I am starting to think of TY as a SEX SYMBOL   :roflmao :lol, you know the strong silent type.  As the weeks have progressed he has become more sexy to me than Giles!!!!!!!!!!!  Shawn looks like she is gaining weight for some reason, maybe it is just me.  If they are going to have a new pro on next year which of the pros that are on this season won't be there next season.  Sure hope it isn't Max leaving !!!!  And I was hoping for Alec to be back next  year.

I am happy that Ty was given the votes to stay!!  I have just really grown to enjoy him, love that he's giving it his all :clap :clap
Prissy~~~Tomism with regards len and "bull" :lol
Melissa is such a sweetie, she truly thought she'd be leaving I think, so glad the voters got it right :woohoo

Post by: fhmmany2 on April 28, 2009, 08:01:52 PM
There was no good choice tonight. (I hate to see anybody leave at this stage - it seems harder to see them go this year).  I do think the best choice was made by the voters (I can't really complain about who leaves because I don't vote!), but I hope that Melissa will be able to dance next week now that fans have "saved" her.

I keep thinking that even those great professional teachers couldn't do anything with me - two left feet is Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy understated for me.   :para That is why I love this show so much!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on April 28, 2009, 08:20:41 PM
Eliminated this evening:

Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/dancing-partners-lovers.jpg)

This was really a tough call this evening.  Once Ty was declared safe, I thought, "Oh no, don't let it be Melissa."  I did give Melissa all my online votes last night and I think many fans voted to keep her in.  I just hope her ribs will allow her to get to dance next week.  I'm sure Tony is so relieved that they get to continue!!

Chuck and Julianne should take advantage of their celebrity and start scheduling some concerts now!!

The encore dance was the group dance from Team Tango.  And all three of these couples were declared safe first.

Robin Thick was the guest singer.  His first song had the theme from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony throughout with four violin players playing the symphony theme.

We got to see Alec and Edyta, Tony and Cheryl, and Dmitry and was it Kym???  dance to Robin's song.

I did speed through the dancers vying for a pro spot next year to get to who was eliminated.  There are so many talented dancers left, it will be hard to see any one of them leave.  And we don't know that Melissa was in the bottom two!

The elimination shows are starting to feel stressful!!!  I still think that any one of these four could win:  Gilles, Lil' Kim, Shawn, or Melissa.  I love Ty, but I don't think he should win;  too many stars that are better dancers.  But he must have a lot of fans that love him, too. :yes

I get the Thickes mixed up, too,  and they look a little a like, but Alan born in 1947 (my age :shock) is older than Robin, born in 1977.

I JUST READ IN THE BIO THAT ROBIN IS ALAN'S SON BY HIS FIRST WIFE, GLORIA LORING, SINGER AND ACTRESS.    NO WONDER THERE'S A RESEMBLANCE!!!

Good Afternoon!

I am just wondering if this is Ty's last dance this evening???   I sure hate to see any of the top four go, Giles, Melissa, Shawn, and Lil' Kim.    And Ty has been such a great addition to the show.

As it goes down to the wire, it's going to really be close.  Usually, we have an idea of who will win by now, or at least, the top two, but this year, so much talent from so many!!

Prissy, I don't think I ever remember so much talent, it will probably be Ty's last dance :hugg but he has been so wonderful to see grow as a dancer and performer, love the guy :clap I don't know how people will ever be able to vote, they are all that good :clap

What a fantastic show!!! :clap :clap I thought Melissa deserved her perfect score :notworthy :notworthy Shawn was also excellent in her paso :clap :clap
But Ty, had me belly laughing with his solo, going over to Jewel, and hip thrusting at her :lol he has to be one of my all time favs on the show :thumb not the best dancer, but determined and a heart of gold :hugg
I have to also say that Lacey is so improved this year, to watch her with the pros was wonderful, and her hair is lighter and I think has highlights, much better than the dark!!!

I agree with everything you said, Sharon - great, great show!  :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap I know Ty should probably go (and probably will), but I am glad that I've gotten to "know" him this season. I remember that almost everyone in "the industry" was shocked when Jewel married him - now we know why - he is a sweetheart, and a true "gentle man".

Good Evening!

I just finished watching my recording of DWTS.  Fantastic show!  How wonderful for Melissa to come back and get a perfect score on her Samba after being at the bottom of the judges' scores last week!!

Judges' Scores

Melissa & Tony    Waltz - 27     Samba - 30     Total - 57

Shawn & Mark    Quickstep - 27    Paso Doble - 29    Total - 56

Giles & Cheryl    Fox Trot - 29   Rumba - 27     Total - 56

Lil' Kim & Derek    Waltz - 25     Salsa - 27       Total - 52

Ty & Chelsie   Argentine Tango - 25   Rumba - 21     Total - 46


I think tomorrow gentle Ty
Will be the one who says Goodbye.

It will be hard to see him go.
He's added so much to the show!

 Hey Sharon  you are a poet too.   :clap   I think TY has made DWTS so much more enjoyable.  My gosh he is infectious.  I think there is a lot in this man to be discovered.  :bouncy  I will certainly miss him every week and thought he was hilarious at the end dancing in front of Jewel.  I am still amazed at his wonderful posture.  For some reason I thought a rodeo rider would be more bent over.  Does anyone know if he still competes??



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on May 05, 2009, 07:04:50 AM
I just voted online and gave all of my 5 votes to Melissa. 

Sharon,

I used to write lots of poems (remember all those birthday poems?  144 in all.    I recall you liked Clay in a fedora!!)  :wink   It still comes fairly easy to write something as a poem instead of prose!!   I know you are a poet, too!!


 Pepe, I looked up Ty online and he has retired:

Now retired from competition, Murray spends much of his time on his 2,100-acre private ranch in Stephenville, Texas when he is not working tirelessly for those things that inspire him.  Last year, Murray and nationally renowned horsemen Dennis Reis, along with such celebrities as Jewel and Bo Derek, helped shepherd National Day of the Horse unanimously through the U.S. Senate, encouraging Americans “to be mindful of the contribution of horses to economy, history and character of the United States.”

Dedication is a trait that sticks with Murray, who says, “I have loved the cowboy life – everything about it – since the day I was born.  There’s no other feeling on this Earth like making great rides on great animals.”  But the seven-time All-Around World Champion insists that his ultimate goal has never been to be a great rough stock rider alone.  “I don’t care about going down in history as a great bull rider or bronc rider.  I hope people will remember me as a great cowboy.”

Shocking considering how well Lil' Kim has done and with many weeks of high scores.  Ty must have a lot of fans out there.  But he really should not be in the Semi-finals!

Now, it just has to be Ty going home next week.  I love him but he shouldn't displace Melissa, Shawn or Gilles.  I'm kind of thinking it will be Melissa and GIles in the FInal Two.

I set my Ti Vo for Jimmy Kimmel this evening and I should set it for GMA in the morning, too.


Kelly,
Ty really has improved, and that should count for a lot.  He had NO dance experience coming in.  He certainly has become popular.

Shawn has also been one of my fav's from the beginning, and props to Mark, he has treated her so "age appropriately" with respect for her tender years, yet he's given her wings to fly :clap
I love this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woohoo
Prissy, thanks for the word on "The Bachelorette" with Jillian, I will try to watch because it's Jillian, I'm still peeved at Jason though, put a bad taste in my mouth for either Bachelor or ette :roflmao

Boy as much as I like TY that really wasn't right that Derek and Lil Kim got voted off.  She isn't my favorite but a much better dancer than Ty.  As usual it has become a popularity contest and Derek puts so much work into his routines and so does Lil Kim.  I think TY himself was embarrassed at the outcome.  I couldn't believe my ears when they said who was leaving.  I just heard a bare mention and didn't catch the rest about some kind of feud between Melissa and Ty's wife, Jewel!  Has anyone heard anything about that?

Hey, y'all,

I recorded LIl' Kim and Derek on Jimmy Kimmel.  When they walked out Derek was carrying Lil' Kim and spun around with her.  Lil' Kim and Derek were very jovial, and not too upset to have been voted off.  Derek said, Lil' Kim had proved herself every week.  Then they talked about her being in prison and how the prisoners always wanted to watch DWTS.  It sounded like she went to a tough prison.  I really hope things go well for her and she has even more success.  (I don't know if you are aware that every Tuesday, the star voted off brings his/her dancing shoes and there is a ceremonial burning of the shoes in a large trash can by Guillermo outside the studio.}
Derek left and Lil' Kim stayed to play in a scrabble game with two 10 year olds who are National Scrabble Champions.  Jimmy and Kim were winning when my recording ended;  I don't know who won!  :para

I also recorded GMA where Robin Roberts interviewed them with Sam Champion in Los Angelas.  Sam said a lot of people were surprised and angry that Kim left when she did.  Kim said she really loved dancing and was not ready to go.  Also, that she wants to incorporate dancing into her performances.   Derek said he is going to be busy in the future with his band.  But they will both be back on the Finale show.

Sharon,

I used to try to stay up late for Kimmel on Tuesday's;  then get up early for GMA the next day.  It's so much simpler to set the TiVo for both shows and just fast forward through and watch the DWTS part.  :thumb

One more Monday night orchestra practice as our concert is on Friday;  so I will get to watch next week's show live on Monday if there is one.  Surely there will be another week with the three Finalists next week.

Here are photos of the Final Four:

Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke

DWTS was just so entertaining tonight  :clap :clap  I am in awe of all 4 couples for different reasons, this has to be one of my favorite seasons ever  :notworthy :dance :notworthy :dance 
Maks looks hawt too  :slick

Judges' Scores:

Giles & Cheryl    Waltz - 30      Salsa - 30    Total - 60

Shawn & Mark   Argentine Tango - 30     Jive - 26    Total - 56

Melissa & Tony   Quick Step - 28   Cha Cha Cha - 27   Total - 55

Ty & Chelsie   Viennese Waltz - 25   Samba - 23    Total - 48


I think Melissa deserved higher scores.  She has such fluid moves;  her arms always look right;  high kicks;  and I think she is always engaged in what she is doing. 
Giles is so good at telling a story as he dances;  He is an actor and it comes across in a good way in his dancing.  He could be the winner.
I like Shawn, but her dancing seems "choppy" to me.  She's really good but I still think Melissa is better.
I admire Ty's spirit, but he really should go this time.

It was fun seeing the background and parents and families of the stars.  Especially Melissa's parents because they would not be a part of THE BACHELOR, but it was good to see them supporting Melissa on DWTS.

I'm casting my online votes for Melissa like I've done the past couple of weeks!

Looking forward to tomorrow and anyone could go.  You just can't predict this show!

Maks dances tomorrow night!!!!  :purpbana (He doesn't need to go to all that trouble, though - I would be just as happy if he just sat there and let us look at him).

And my opinion has not changed since week one - Sheryl and Gilles - this has been a very good season  :clap :clap :clap

As I was watching the pro dancers at the beginning of the show, I thought why aren't we seeing more of Maks?  Then Tom shows Maks in the audience and says we will be seeing him tomorrow!! :wheee :dance

Frankie,
I think that it very well could be GIles and Cheryl as the winning couple.  Giles has been consistently good from the beginning.  I would guess that he has the highest total points of any of the others.

Eliminated this evening:

Ty and Chelsie
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/ty-murray-and-chelsie-hightower.jpg)

I feel relieved now that Melissa is in the Final Three.  I would have hated to see her go before Ty did.  Now, it's anyone's game.  Any of the three left could win.  I believe it will be Gilles and Cheryl, and Shawn or Melissa in second place;  but you never know!

What a pleasure to see Maks dancing again and two dances, too!   :clap :clap :clap  That was the highlight of the show for me tonight!  :wheee

I saw Chris Harrison from THE BACHELOR sitting in the audience, but I don't think Tom ever said anything to him?


FAREWELL TO TY

I have to say that gentle Ty
Did seem at first a little shy.

But each week he has done his best
To improve and to dance with zest!

But Ty, it was your time to go,
And let true talent rule the show.

So, adios, our cowboy man.
Don't cry, you've made a lot of fans!!   :clap

The show tonight was a great one, too - loved the professional dancers, as usual.

Our local ABC TV station always has a report on DWTS on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Today they had a piece on Stephenville, TX, where Ty and Jewel have a ranch.  Stephenville is a small town southwest of Fort Worth, maybe 50 to 70 miles.  There were interviews with some of the Stephenville residents and some of the guys said they are embarrassed to admit they are watching Ty on DWTS and have been voting for him.  Also that Jewel and Ty were married last summer and are talking about having a child. 

Frankie,
I did see Maks on ET;  very brief interviews.  I did like the dance with Mark and Derek, Julianne and Lacey.  They were the pro favorites and a lady introduced from the audience designed their costumes;  very cute dance!!

I have set my TiVo to record Jimmy Kimmel tonight and GMA in the morning!  I wonder if Chelsie will come on with Ty or maybe Jewel or Ty, alone?? :dunno

I was at a jewellery buy show for my business carrying a fry pan, and went to the ladies washroom and low and behold "on display" in the washroom on a lounger was ~~~~Maks :para :slick :eek.  All the women but me ignored him :scratch :shrug so I engaged him in conversation for quite some time :thud.  I was kinda rubbin' his arm :thud and telling him how much I liked watching his~~~~feet :bang I told him I had never seen a man dance as well as he does :blush that's it I woke up :lol

Post by: Prissy on May 16, 2009, 04:57:04 PM
Sharon,

Remove Karina from this picture and imagine you in the picture!!  Here is Maks' arm that you were rubbing!  I think the dream shows that you have been Maks deprived for too many weeks this season and when you got to see Maks dance two dances,  he was front and center in your consciousness!!  And the fry pan was to conk Karina on the head if she came into the ladies room!!   :lmao

Sounds like a good dream to me.   :thud  There's just something about Maks!!  :hot2

Good Evening,

I am watching THE BACHELORETTE now with Jillian from Canada.  I think I've already picked a guy for her! :wink  So many men, it's hard to get a real impression of each of them.  I did start a new thread for THE BACHELORETTE!  :bigsmile

Judges' Scores for DWTS:

Gilles and Cheryl  30 + 28 = 58

Shawn and Mark  28 + 30 = 58

Melissa and Tony  29 + 27 = 56


I think that Gilles will win but  I'm rooting for Melissa, still.  I will vote all my votes again for Melissa.

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on May 19, 2009, 03:31:34 PM
I agreed with the judges on the Free Style and I thought Shawn was the best.  But, I too, was a little disappointed.

I don't know who will win!! I think this is a very close race.

What a wonderful way to end this season :clap :clap I hope I'm not spoiling by saying congratulations Shawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap :clap :woohoo :confetti2 :confetti2 she is such a trooper, cute as a button and very deserving, bet Cheryl thought they had it in the bag :wink
You know, it could have been a three way tie tonight and I would have been happy.  THE very best season of DWTS evah IMHO :clap :clap

THE WINNERS OF DANCING WITH THE STARS, SEASON 8

Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/shawn-johnson-and-mark-ballas.jpg)

SECOND PLACE
Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke

THIRD PLACE
Melissa and Tony
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/01-15.jpg)


Sharon,
I agree!  Any one of the three deserved to win.  I believe now including Shawn, this makes three Olympic Gold Medal winners to also win DWTS.  Apolo Anton, Kristi Yamaguchi, and now Shawn Johnson.

I agree - the very best season of DWTS yet!  :clap :clap :clap :clap I am a little disappointed, though - I really do think that Cheryl and Giles were consistently the best dancers (but then I should not complain, because I do not vote!!!!) AI2 cured me of ever ever wanting to vote on a TV show again! I hope that Giles will get a career boost as so many other have gotten from DWTS - he seems like a really good guy.

I think I read that Season 9 would begin in August or the Fall??  :dunno  And I saw online somewhere that Julianne will not be back, and there is a chance that Mark and Derek will not be back as they tour with their band.  Maks will return!!!  :purpbana
And Donny Osmond will be one of the star dancers.

Here is a link to a video of the finalists on GMA;  then click on under the first video to the one that says Dancing Finalists in the hot seat.

Tom Bergeron said something to the new dancer (Anna) about joining DWTS #9 in September, but I thought I must have heard that wrong - guess not. I didn't realize that they would start working on the show that early.

Julianne said once that her parents had trained her and Derek with the goal of being the next Donnie and Marie - guess they are both really going to try to make it in the music industry - a really hard thing to do now.

Frankie,

The new dancer, Anna, who danced with Maks will be in Season 9.  She won the contest of new dancers who would get that spot.  I wonder if having Maks for a partner helped her with votes!! :wink


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on May 21, 2009, 08:48:37 AM
Prissy - that is what Tom said to Anna - that Season #9 would begin in September - I just never realized that the dancers started working on the Season so far in advance of its being shown on TV - I guess they begin working on group dances and other things before the new Stars are announced.

Giles was just on The View - a surprise guest - to thank Barbara Walters for supporting him. She was so shocked she couldn't talk for a minute!  :lol

News about Maks!!!



Dancing With The Stars: Maks And Karina Try On Wedding Rings

May 27, 2009 01:24:15 by Britteny Elrick



Dancing With The Stars pros Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have finally settled on a wedding date.  The couple will wed June 2010, and it’s not going to be the intimate affair they were hoping for.  Keep reading for more details on the wedding, the rings, and their upcoming summer plans…


Maks told PEOPLE magazine, “If it was just friends and family that would be one thing, but there are so many people telling us, ‘We’ll be there, we want to come!’ So we said, Okay, the wedding is turning out to be a bigger production. We want to take our time. You don’t want to piss anybody off or hurt anybody.”

“Next June is when we want to have the wedding,” said Maks. “We are currently interviewing a few wedding planners because we figure we could use professional help.” Earlier this month, the pair were spotted trying on wedding bands at the Beverly Hills store David Yurman.  “Karina gave me a necklace from there, and there were a couple diamonds missing.”  He adds that they will most likely opt for traditional bands, but they aren’t rushing into choosing locations, clothes, or rings.

This summer, Maks will be starring in the athletic reality show The Superstars, which premieres on June 23.  He also wants to do some travelling and brushing up on his golf game this summer.  “It’s very therapeutic,” he adds.  Maks will be taking some lessons from fellow dancer Tony Dovolani, saying that he “is a huge part of it. I’m getting good. I’m going to try and utilize the summer to get much better.”

Post by: Prissy on June 26, 2009, 06:06:51 AM
Sharon,

Someone posted about Maks being on the Superstars, so I set the TiVo for it Tuesday evening.  Maks did very well and was partnered with a gal named Kristy??  don't know her.  Anyway, he and Kristy are still in the competition.

Each week a team is eliminated.  Last Tuesday it was Terrell Owen (former Dallas Cowboy) and a gal.  But I heard that another team had an injury so Terrell and his partner will be back.  Please don't let it be Maks or Kristy with the injury!!   :please  We've been through that with Maks and the volleyball player on DWTS.

In addition to SuperStars (it comes on on Tuesday nights) Maks will be on the Denise Richards' reality show "It's Complicated" tomorrow night. I tried to watch the show once when it first came on last year, and was bored to death - why would anyone want to follow her around with a camera???!!!!!  :bduh But tomorrow night's show (E! Channel at 9:30 p.m. Central Time, 10:30 Eastern time) is about her time on Dancing With The Stars, and of course Maks was her partner! Think I will force myself to watch the show again!  :lol :slick

I did catch the Denise Richards' show with Maks.  Not a lot of Maks, but some practice scenes and their DWTS performances.  Poor Denise was the second one eliminated!!  I thought the Maks' fans would be enough at the time to keep them around longer.  No such luck.  :bang

Maks is having better luck with his partner Kristi on the SUPERSTARS show!

I found this news about SUPERSTARS.


That being said, there are still millions of people who expected to see the finale last night. Because of the low ratings, ABC opted to preempt Superstars and instead run a repeat of the previous night’s The Bachelorette season finale.

The 90-minute finale of Superstars is now scheduled to run next Tuesday, August 4th, at 8pm. Will you be watching? Who do you think will win?

I just saw Maks and Karina on Regis and Kelly - sorry I did not know ahead of time that they would be on - I was just changing channels as they were about to perform. Maks was in torn blue jeans, a white tank top, and no shoes. Karina was in black bra and panties and an unbuttoned white man's shirt. They danced a slow dance, and it was really beautiful. Hopefully, some of you will get the Regis and Kelly show later today. If not, maybe you can go to the show's web site and see the dance. Maks said that the other male dancers in the Broadway show are in better shape than he is - I doubt that!!!!

I am not familiar with Wendy Williams, either - I will also go search for it...............

Tiffany and Shaikey,

Good to see you here on the DWTS thread!!  I'm looking forward to the new list of "stars" and their partners for the next season.


I just watched the Wendy Williams show.  Lots of show business gossip while waiting for Maks to come out. They were waiting for Maks to arrive from being on with Regis and Kelly.   Maks looked cute and Karina was in the audience with her mother.  Wendy tried to get him to divulge who the dancing stars would be, but Maks said the pro dancers are the last to know.  Wendy probably knew more than he did. 

Wendy has an "ample bosom" and said Maks was staring at her.  Maks put a sofa toss pillow in front of her!! :lol  They talked some about the Broadway show he and Karina were doing for a week or two??   I wish they had talked about Maks being on and winning Superstars.  I did TiVo it and will go back and see if Maks was only on the one segment.    I was not too enchanted by Wendy;  a show kind of hard to watch!  :para

PRISSY, I'm glad to read that somebody else feels that way about Wendy.  I have tuned into her a few times over the past couple of weeks.  The words that come to mind are "vulgar" and "uncouth". 

And I didn't particularly like the way she dealt with Max.  She came on a bit too "strong" for my tastes.  She treated him like a "boy toy" and not a whole lot more,.  To me Max seems to be a gentlemen who happens to be extremely "hawt"!!!  :thud

However, I know she has a huge fanbase already, so......"Different strokes for different folks", I guess.

Just saw on Entertainment Tonight that Donnie Osmond's son let it slip on Twitter that his Dad will be dancing with Kim Johnson - he also said that Debbie Mazar (she is on "Entourage") will be dancing with Maks. We'll find out if this is correct next Monday.

Sharon - I think they always pick a taller person for Maks. She is a very good actress, though. She has been in several things. I've never gotten to watch Entourage, though. Our satellite system charges $50 a month extra just to add HBO, and we can't justify that just for a couple of shows that we would want to watch!  :para

"Not used to being on camera as myself," she later added. This is so strange!!"

Another pairing was leaked on Twitter when Donny Osmond's son revealed that his famous dad would be sharing the floor with Kym Johnson.

Good Evening!

In my second post above, the (poor girl) by Cheryl's name was in the quote.  I didn't need to add it, but I feel like we won't see Cheryl for long.   :para

It really is hard to tell who the best dancing stars will be until we see the first shows.  I do remember when Emmit Smith was on the show.  We were on vacation at one point and I was voting from a hotel room.  I also remember voting during the intermission of one of Clay's Christmas shows!!  :lol

Sometimes, we are surprised by the latent talent in some of the stars.  I do hope Maks is around for a long time.  I would love to see him win the mirror ball trophy!! :yes

As I was saying in the previous post, we really don't know who will be the standouts this year on DWTS.

I was surprised at how good Lil Kim was last year, and from her picture and bio, I wasn't sure I would like her, but I voted for her dancing several times.  And Ty was such a sweetheart, no one wanted him to go.

And I would never have guessed that Emmit Smith would be as good as he was........so

I will keep an open mind about the dancers.  But I sure hope :pray that Maks' partner is good enough that Maks can stick around for many weeks!!

:hugs

Don't know if anybody else has noticed, but Entertainment Tonight is featuring a DWTS couple every night - that started this week. It's an easy way to start learning about the contestants. As in past years, I'm not very familiar with most of this years "Stars".

‘DWTS’ Couple Maks and Karina Split?
Maks and Karina are dunzo? Say it ain’t so!

‘Dancing with the Stars‘ pro dancers Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have called off their engagement, says E! News.

“I am confirming that they did indeed break up,” Karina’s rep confirms to Marc Malkin.

We knew this impossibly perfect pairing was too good to be true.

Maks and Karina, who’ve known each other since they were teens, became engaged in Vegas over New Year’s after a whirlwind romance.

Just last month the dazzling dance duo had a successful run on Broadway with the showstopper, ‘Burn the Floor.’

Everyone said it wouldn’t last…but I think even the naysayers expected them to last at least through Season 9. Now won’t this season be awkward?

Post by: Prissy on September 08, 2009, 08:02:47 PM
Sara,

Thanks for this news.  Even though Karina was from the Ukraine like Maks, I never really felt that good about them as a couple.  Mainly because Karina lived with Mario Lopez for a couple of years after being his dancing partner.  And Karina is not one of my favorite female dancers.  Of course, Maks is my favorite dancing guy!!!  I kind of like him with Cheryl, or maybe someone new.

I know Mel B. was married and had a child with Eddie Murphy, but I just loved Maks and Mel B. together;  they were so cheery and funny and seemed to really like each other.  I wish he could find someone like that.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on September 09, 2009, 05:02:09 AM
I am not surprised either about Maks and Karina.  I remember the way Maks talked about his mother and he seems a little old fashioned and different ideas or I should say higher ideals and morals than Karina.  Gee Prissy I am behind as I didn't know that Mario and Karina lived together for two  years.    sparks should fly on DWTS this season!!!! 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on September 09, 2009, 11:12:02 AM
Pepe,

I thought that Mario and Karina were together two years;  looks like it was almost one year.  Karina always seemed too worldly for "sweet, innocent Maks." 

Here is a news article from 2007 about Mario and Karina:

Mario Lopez & Karina Smirnoff: Moving In!
By Emily Fromm

Mario Lopez and girlfriend Karina Smirnoff, his partner on last season's Dancing with the Stars, recently took their relationship to the next level: They're cohabiting.

"They recently moved in together," a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. "It was a big step to take, especially for Mario, but they both think this could be it. Things are going really well right and they're loving being together all the time."

The 33-year-old Lopez and the Ukrainian-born Smirnoff have always been coy about their romance since coming in second on the ABC reality hit in November, but were spotted vacationing together in Mexico later that month.

Lopez, who will co-host the Miss Universe 2007 pageant on NBC live from Mexico City on May 28, told PEOPLE at the time that he and Smirnoff had "a very special relationship" and said: "We're great friends and very supportive of each other."

HERE IS ANOTHER ARTICLE FROM APRIL 29, 2008:

Mario Lopez and Dancing with the Stars pro dancer Karina Smirnoff have recently split, a source confirms to People.

The couple, who met during Dancing’s third season, never publicly acknowledged their relationship despite the fact that the pair were living together in Lopez’s Los Angeles home. A source tells People Smirnoff is moving out of Lopez’s digs.

Lopez’s personal rep, Lisa Perkins, says, “It’s my policy to not comment on my client’s personal life.”

Smirnoff, who is now competing on Dancing’s sixth season with R&B star Mario, has been spotted recently with E! Entertainment personality Michael Yo. The two were seen dancing and canoodling at a recent event at Hollywood eatery Beso.

Lopez, meanwhile, is starring in A Chorus Line on Broadway, and recently returned to the ballroom with 18 Chorus Line dancers to tape a synchronized number to air on Dancing’s 100th episode on May 6. He’s also about to embark on a national tour to promote his upcoming book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness.

Maks and Karina are supposed to be on Entertainment Tonight today (not together) talking about ther split.  I saw the previews last night. ET can sometimes change programming if something more important happens during the day, but hopefully the interviews will be on.

I did watch ET, and Maks and Karina were on - Maks made a "that's life" comment, and Karina said that the split would not make any difference to DWTS because they are professionals. She also said their private life is private.

I also watch E! News last night, and learned that despite the split, Maks and Karina will be dancing together on the Emmy Awards on September 20!  :purpbana I gather that it will be just the two of them dancing - great career exposure for both of them  :clap

I just wonder if Tom DeLay will be one of the first to go??

Tidbits:

Maks and Karina will dance on the Emmy Awards show on Sunday...I think it's this Sunday! :dunno

Kathy Ireland has also been injured....surfing, I believe.

There will be a tribute to Patrick Swayze on the premiere of DWTS.  What a wonderful dancer Patrick Swayze was!  I wish that he and his wife could have been a guest dancing couple during an early season of DWTS.

Can't wait until Monday!  And no orchestra practices for me for a few weeks!  The first orchestra concert will be when I'm at the Gala, so I won't rejoin the orchestra until later in October!!

Sharon,

I missed not having the women dance tonight!  I don't know why they start with so many and then have a double elimination???  Why not start with fewer stars and only eliminate one each week?  I really wish the stars had a week or two to dance before any eliminations start;  give them time to get "settled" into the show.

I do watch the food network and Iron Chef, so I was interested to see Mark D. dance;  Donny and Aaron also seem stand outs to me. 

I tried to vote online, but was unable to!  :para

Post by: clayMaine-iac on September 22, 2009, 01:58:27 AM
I think Mark and Louie might be the suprises this seasons.  They both seem to have potential.  It will be interesting to see how they do.

I think Aaron and Donny will be contenders, too.

I liked Michael's charisma.  I liked how hard Chuck tried because he was obviously out of his comfort zone.  I think Cheryl and Edyta are going to have a rough road this season.  :blush

I so don't want to lose either of these fine women, they are both part of the reason I watch the show~~we all know the main reason :lol :slick I'm just feeling schmoopy about it. Prissy I agree, go back to fewer stars and single elimination :blush I just don't like change :lol
My favs tonight were Donny, Mark and Louie, and Aaron of course~~I think he has a crush on Karina :lol.  I actually saw Aaron Carter in concert here in Kitchener many years ago when my girlfriends daughter was in love with him, what a cutie pie.

Good Evening!

I went to a Garden Club meeting this evening so just finished watching the ladies dance!!  Some real stand outs tonight;  too bad Maks' partner is not one of them!  :para

The Pro Lady Dancers began the night dancing to the Tom Jones' hit, "She's a Lady."  Did you notice that Lacey and Chelsie danced barefoot?


Rankings for the ladies this evening:

Joanna Krupa & Derek - 24 + 10 = 34

Mya & Dmitry - 21 + 10 = 31

Kelly Osbourne & Louis - 23 + 8 = 31

Natalie Coughlin & Alec - 19 + 8 = 27

Melissa Joan Hart & Mark - 18 + 6 = 24

Debi Maza & Maks - 16 + 6 = 22

Kathy Ireland & Tony - 16 + 4 = 20

Macy Gray & Jonathan - 15 + 4 = 19


Joanna, Mya, and Kelly were certainly stand outs this evening!  Kelly surprised me the most!  I didn't think she would take it seriously, but she is.  Kind of nice to see her parents, Ozzie and (can't think of her mom's name) proud of her.  Wait!  I can hear Ozzie calling her name....SHARON!  SHARON!!   :lmao

Oh my!  Poor Jonathan!  I don't think Macy is going to go far.  And Kathy Ireland is so stiff!!   Maks' partner Debi doesn't seem to have a lot of natural ability.  Poor Maks!  He may not be around long, either.  :cry

:dance   :dance   :dance

I am going to predict that Macy and maybe, Tom DeLay are the first to go.....not too sure about the men;  could be Ashley Hamilton or Michael Irvin.

 :wave

I still haven't gotten to watch either night - but have them both recorded - when things are too busy to watch DWTS, they are just too busy!!! But from what I saw on the News, if Cheryl and Tom Delaney aren't the first to go, there must be some terrible dancers this year - and I will miss Cheryl!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on September 23, 2009, 02:02:10 PM
Finally got a chance to watch both shows - Tom Delaney is not the worst dancer. Overall, I think the women stars are better than the men so far this year - I have no idea who is going home!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on September 23, 2009, 02:22:36 PM
Any predictions for tonight??
I'm thinkin' Macy Gray and Ashley Hamilton
I also predict that Joanna and Derek will be dating before too long :slick :lol

I resemble that name :lol Prissy, I did see Chelsie and Lacey barefoot, wonder if it was to do the splits???
Just realized you had made a prediction~~~we are close to agreeing.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on September 23, 2009, 04:37:51 PM
Sharon!!  Sharon!!

I did watch the Osbourne reality show (Family Jewels?) a few times, and I can still hear Ozzie, "Sharon!  Sharon!"  :lmao

Joanna Krupa was on the SUPERSTARS show this summer along with Maks and others.  Maks is why I watched!! :wink

Anyway, Joanna's partner was Terrell Owens.  I will never forget how rude and cruel Joanna was to T.O. when he got behind in the contests.  T.O. never responded to her.  He kept his cool!   All of the other contestants supported their partners, even when they messed up, but Joanna was  b _ _ _ h!   It will be hard for me to root for her knowing what her personality is really like!!

I was a big fan of Emmitt Smith;  voted for him throughout that season, but I don't feel that way about Michael Irvin.  A former Dallas Cowboy player, but not at all the gentleman Emmitt is.  So, again, it will be hard for me to root for Michael I.    His dancing is not that great, so he may not last that long anyway.

Tom DeLay, a former Representative from a town near Houston, has several legal things going on with him in Texas.

And  Kelly Osbourne was quite the wild child!

But I was a big fan of Lil Kim who had served time in prison!  So, I shall just not consider any baggage these dancers bring with them and look only at the dancing!! :thumb

Donny and Mya!  I really like them!

:dance   :dance   :dance

I also agree the right people went home - and I loved the show. I am so happy they remembered Patrick Swayze. I surprised myself by liking Kelly Osbourne - it did not expect to. At the end of this first week, my favorites are her and Donnie Osmond.

Just a quick note.  I watched Jimmy Kimmel last night, he had on the couples who went home from DWTS.  Macy Gray didn't go though.   :naughty  Jonathan said that she feels that she let her fans down. 
I think that if everyone else was there, she should have gone to.  That's part of the job.  Just my thoughts though. 


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on September 25, 2009, 12:26:02 PM
Spikee,

I think Macy is the first star not to show up on Jimmy Kimmel's show after being voted off of DWTS. 


Here is some info on Donny Osmond:

La Toya Jackson talks with Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson after ‘Dancing With the Stars’ on September 22, 2009

 
FIRST PUBLISHED: September 23, 2009 7:52 PM EDT
LAST UPDATED: September 23, 2009 8:27 PM EDT
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
It didn’t take Access Hollywood’s “Dancing With the Stars” guest correspondent La Toya Jackson long to uncover some dirt on this year’s new crop of “Stars.”

Following Tuesday night’s show, when the ladies took the ballroom floor for the first time, La Toya spoke with several of the contestants, including Donny Osmond, who had danced the night before.

And as it turns out, Donny may have an unfair advantage over the competition this season, as a source has told Access that Donny has been using a dance coach in Utah for the past year.

“Rumor has it that you’ve been rehearsing for a year with a private trainer in Utah. Is that true?” La Toya asked him on Tuesday night.

“No, that’s not true,” Donny initially replied.

However, the Osmond brother then changed his tune about his ballroom background.

“I will clarify because I have been taking dancing lessons to learn ballroom for the dances that we do in Vegas,” he continued, referring to his Las Vegas show with sister Marie, who previously competed on the show. “That’s part of the choreography, but it’s a whole different thing than what we’re doing here.”

When contacted by Access Hollywood, producers for the show were not immediately available for comment on Donny’s ballroom training.

On Monday night’s show, when the men made their “Dancing” debut, Donny earned a 20 out of 30 points with partner Kym Johnson, third highest total among the male competitors.

Well if he had to learn some moves for his Vegas show what the heck :shrug I don't think it's any big deal.  I really wouldn't believe if a star took a year of training to be on the show, that's just not what it's about :naughty


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on September 26, 2009, 11:42:17 AM
Sharon,

I think that Donny is a natural dancer and has great moves.  I would be curious to hear from someone who has seen the Vegas show with Donny and Marie, and what kind of dancing goes on.  I always thought Marie should have had her DWTS dancing pro, Jonathan, as part of the Vegas show and dancing with her!!  Why not use all of that training she had on DWTS??

Donny has talked about being on DWTS since Marie was on, so it does make one wonder if he has been "preparing" in some way!  :dunno

Donny is still a favorite of mine!  Donny and Mya for the ladies!!  (I still want Donny to do better than Marie did on DWTS!!) :thumb

:dance   :dance



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on September 26, 2009, 01:48:18 PM
Prissy, how cool would that have been to have Jonathan in their show :clap I'm with you too, I want Donny to fare better than Marie :wink
Love Mya also, I think Joanna is a tad full of herself JMHO Still haven't really got a guy in mind, although Donny is right up there for me :clap


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on September 26, 2009, 08:09:14 PM
I have remembered that Louis, Kelly Osbourne's partner, is quite a talented choreographer and has choreographed several of the special dances on DWTS.  I would think this would be a real plus for Kelly, who is doing a great job already.

I am watching DWTS but bouncing over to the Dallas Cowboys/Carolina game, too!!

Wow!  Fourteen couples dancing takes a while!  Here are tonight's judges's scores:

27 Points:
Aaron and Karina - Jive
Mya and Dmitry - Jive

25 Points:
Donny and Kym - Jive

21 Points:
Natalie and Alec - Quick Step
Debi and Maks - Tango
Mark and Lacey - Quick Step

20 Points:
Joanna and Derek - Jive
Michael and Anna - Quick Step

19 Points:
Chuck and Anna - Tango
Melissa and Mark - Jive
Louie and Chelsie - Jive
Kelly and Louis - Tango

18 Points:
Kathy and Tony - Quick Step
Tom and Cheryl - Tango


I will predict that Kathy Ireland or Tom DeLay may be the ones eliminated!

Frankie,
Maks is very affectionate.  He used to kiss and hug Mel B. all the time.  : :kiss

Boy that's a jam packed show with that many couples, and the dances are shorter.  JMHO~~~I would rather have fewer couples and longer dances.  That said, I really like Mya and Dmitry so far, and Donny and Kym.  Kym so deserves a chance at the mirror ball trophy, she works very hard with her partners.
I felt that Maks was extra nice to Debi, cause they had some issues in practice, I'm not sure about her, not making any connection with her or her dancing :shrug and am finding that true with many couples this time around.
Prissy, I also think Tom DeLay or Kathy Ireland will be leaving.  I felt really bad for Kelly Osborne tonight :hugg


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Spikee on September 28, 2009, 08:37:24 PM
Yep, dances are to short and there are to many dancers. 

I agree that Tom DeLay and Kathy Ireland should be the ones to go.
I liked Aaron and Karina & Mya and Dmitry & Donny and Kym.
 
Sharon - I just don't feel any connection between Maks and Debi. 
She doesn't do anything for me, Maks does though.   :lol

Except for the scores of 9 for the top two, and Donny's scores, the judges seem to go between 6 and 7 for their scores last evening.  For a while, the scores were close together, 21, 20, 19,  then 18's. 

I was able to vote online last night, finally.  14 votes that I divided among the stars;  Donny, Mark, Mya, Aaron, Natalie, Debi, Kelly and ?? can't remember.  14 votes are a lot of votes!

Tom DeLay looked in pain, so I think it's time for him to go.  Put him out of his suffering.  I will be sad to see Cheryl go, however. 

I wish they would have 12 stars again, 6 guys, 6 gals, and let them dance for two weeks before any eliminations start.  They can collect the judges' votes for two weeks, then the viewers add their votes in.  It's so abrupt to have two stars leave after only one time.  Just my thoughts!

DANCING WITH THE STARS
Monday’s Dancing: What You Didn’t See
September 29, 2009

Backstage Drama?  It was clear from the rehearsal footage on Monday’s Dancing with the Stars that pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his former fiancée Karina Smirnoff are bonding with their star partners Debi Mazar and Aaron Carter. And both pros say that they’re focusing on those bonds to get through the awkwardness of working with an ex. Amidst speculation of an attraction brewing between Karina and Aaron (which he denied earlier in the day), Maks wouldn’t comment except to say, “I just feel betrayed.” Luckily, he’s got a tough woman helping him through. “He’s going through a very rough period in his life,” Debi explained. “I’m giving him a lot of support and positive energy.” For her part, Karina is focusing on herself and winning. “Aaron and the show are the only things I’m concentrating on, and I think he’s doing the same thing with Debi.” No one is expecting reconciliation any time soon. “We’re both trying to figure out our lives, and work on ourselves,” she says. “At this moment, we’re happy to be where we are.”

Managing Expectations:  After a smash hit performance in her opening week, Kelly Osbourne disappointed herself with a few missteps her tango Monday night. The one thing she was relieved about? “I’m glad my dad wasn’t here,” she says. “I really would have lost it!” The reality star, who still had a smile on her face when she greeted fiancé Luke Worrall and mother Sharon after the show wrapped, says she had a perfect performance in the dress rehearsal. “It was great,” she says. “Then I got out here and I was like, ‘I did so well last week, I’ll never be as good as that.’ I let the pressure go to my head. But I’m glad it happened, you need something like this.”

Donny’s Close Call:  In Dancing’s second week, Debi Mazar is nursing a neck with torn muscles, Tom DeLay is struggling to keep balance on a foot with a pre-stress fracture and Donny Osmond came this close to being sidelined before his performance Monday night. “I had to have a chiropractor work on me before the show,” he says. “I fell on my hip and twisted my lower back.” Donny was able to pull it together, though, thanks to dance partner Kym Johnson. “She’s a tough teacher, and she demands a good performance,” he says. “I try to give it to her. I’m chiropracticing!”

Melissa’s Tiny Dancers:  Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas were disappointed that their jive didn’t get better scores from the judges despite vast improvements over her waltz last week, but the actress says she’s getting plenty of support from her family. Her husband Mark Wilkerson, who breathed a sigh of relief in the front row after she finished her routine, “is so excited, but he says he’s going to punch the judges!,”she says. “It’s hard for him to take the criticism.” Her 3-year-old Mason is also getting into the show. “My husband made me a video of him dancing with his friend. They danced the waltz like we did. “It was so cute!” Check out Melissa’s tiny dancers on her Web site.

Shrinking Waistlines:  Mark Dacascos blames a shrinking waistline for slipping up during his quick step misstep Monday night. “We’re dancing so much, and I’m losing weight,” he says. “I’m usually between 153 and 156 lbs., and right now I’m at 148. It feels good, but I have to make sure my pants still fit me!” Debi Mazar said she’s also watching the pounds fly off her midsection, having already gone from a size 4 to a size 2 much to her displeasure. “I’m starting to lose a size in my clothes. I like to have a juicy butt, and I eat a lot, but my metabolism is starting to go through the roof. I can’t go to a zero,” she says. Her defense mechanism? “I’m eating lots of chocolate ice cream!”

 –Lisa Ingrassia


Poor Debi and Mark!  Losing all that weight!  I guess I need to take up ballroom dancing to drop some pounds!  Then I could eat lots of chocolate ice cream.  Wait,  I already do!!  (I want Maks for my dancing partner!!)  :slick -- Prissy

Eliminated this evening:

Kathy and Tony
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/70c6fed007c81650535c09b69e2277f8.jpg)

With Kathy and Tony in the Bottom Two:  Debi and Maks :eek 
I don't think the audience has warmed up to Debi.  She seems kind of abrasive!!  I know she drives Maks crazy talking all the time.

Encore Dance:  Mya and Dmitry  (Mya is so good, she reminds me of Cheryl!!)

Guest soloist:  Joss Stone!  Great voice, and I especially liked "Son of a Preacher Man";  took me back a few years!  Pros Anna, Dmitry, Cheryl and Louis danced to this song.

Marching band from ???? was the Macy's Star of Dance special performance;  lots of break dancing and "stomp" dancing going on.

EDIT:  I forgot that Derek and Karina danced to music by the other soloist, Selena Gomez.  I think she may be on the Disney Channel??

I'm with you with Mya, love her :clap  Maks will have a hard time with people liking Debi, she is just not easy to warm up to.  Why oh why is DeLay still there :hypno :bduh I guess Cheryl's fans kept them safe another week :shrug

Love MYA and DIMITRI.  They are very good.  Just way to many dancers everything is to rushed.  I will enjoy it more in a few weeks when some have been eliminated.  I have got my fingers crossed for Kelly Osborn.  Bless her heart, she is trying and Kelly is so pretty when she is groomed and natural looking.  I hope she is there for a few more weeks.

 :wave SHARON!  USC is the acronym for University of Southern California.....my younger son's alma mater!!!   They have an amazing marching band!!!  They attract the best young musicians in the country because of the faculty at USC.  Many of the professors have links to the entertainment industry in Hollywood. 

SHIRLEY, I also have a soft spot in my heart for Kelley Osbourne.  She needs a big boost of self-confidence.  I hope being on this show helps her along with that.

Here are tonight's scores:

Mark Dacasco & Lacey - 18
Joanna Krupa & Derek - 23
Mya & Dmitry - 27
Melissa Hart & Mark - 19
Louie Vito & Chelsie - 20
Debi Mazar & Maks -  ?  (sorry, I missed it, I have to watch the DVR to get it)
Donny Osmond & Kym - 21
Michael Irvin & Anna  - 14
Natalie Coughlin & Alec - 26
Chuck Biddell & Anna - 17
Aaron Carter & Karina - 21
Tom DeLay & Cheryl - 15
Kelly Osbourne & Louie - 20

Sharon - I really like Mya & Dmitry too.  :dance  As for Donny, I'm not even going to guess. 


Thea - I like Kelly Osbourne too, but I would like to know what she was thinking when she stuck her tongue in Louie's face.  I know she was nervous but. . . .  I think she really surprised Louie too. 

Whats going on with Len?  How can his scores be SO much below the other two?  He has been very critical this season.

Looong show with still so many couples!! 

Judges' scores:

Mya & Dmitry - Rumba - 27  (First couple to get two 10's)

Natalie & Alec - Rumba -  26  (Natalie got her first 9's)

Joanna & Derek - Samba - 23

Donny & Kym - Rumba - 21

Aaron & Karina - Rumba - 21

Louie & Chelsie - Rumba - 20

Kelly & Louis - Samba - 20

Melissa & Mark - Samba - 19

Mark & Lacey - Rumba - 18

Debi & Maks - Samba - 17

Chuck & Anna - Samba - 17

Tom & Cheryl - Samba - 15

Michael & Anna - Samba - 14



Mya is still my favorite, but I am sensing some bias from Len against Dmitry, maybe Mya, too!!  Don't know why? :dunno

Donny just went nuts when he heard Bruno say something about "airy fairy."   :lmao

I think Len has  a "thing" for Natalie!!  Good dancer but not as good as Mya, in my opinion!

Paula Abdul!!  :crazy


I was able to vote online and divided my votes among several!

I think Mya should have the encore dance, but it will probably be Natalie.

Michael and Anna or even Debi and Maks may be the ones to go.  But I'm going to guess that Tom Delay says tomorrow that he is leaving and no one will be voted off this week.

:dance   :dance   :dance   :dance

I bet Louie feels he's "died and gone to heaven" getting to spend all this time with a beautiful girl like Chelsie.  And I think I heard her say they are the same age, and he's probably happy she's about his height!  (Louie has the cutest smile!!)  :bigsmile

Eliminated this evening:

Debi & Maks

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/6c3247f68cc1eb8f6578573e5e5d1621.jpg)

Debi never caught on with the viewers and was not a good dancer.  Poor Maks!!  Why couldn't he have Mya this year!

4 couples in jeopardy:

Michael & Anna  (Bottom two)
Joanna & Derek (but declared safe)
Aaron & Karina (also declared safe)
Debi & Maks  (Bottom two)

The encore dance was a surpise..... Chuck and Anna doing their Samba!!

Tom DeLay was safe but has decided to drop out because of his feet fractures.

Queen Latifah was the guest soloist!  First song "rap like" but had Maks and Cheryl as dancers.  Second song, "Ease on Down the Road,"  much better suited to the Queen and she sounded good on it.  Lots of energy and several dancers to this song.

Macy's Stars of Dance - Jaborwoki (Sp?)  Dancers in masks dancing to Gene Kelly's "Singing in the Rain."  Mark and Lacey joined the dancers in masks.

Sabrina, who was voted off really early in Season 5 (which surprised everyone), was voted by the viewers of DWTS to be the celebrity dancer to return for a special dance.  Now viewers will vote for her Pro partner.  I believe it was Mark Ballas before and they became an item!!  Could get interesting.

So sorry to see Maks voted off.  Can't believe he didn't get the votes just to keep him on but his partner Debi was horrible.  Hated to even look at her and her expressions.    (I know that wasn't nice to say).   There was worse dancers they could have let go other than Maks.  How about voting for Maks as Sabrina's dancing partner.  She is quite short and he is quite tall so might look a little akward though, but heck who cares.

I did watch Maks and Debi, Tom and Cheryl on Jimmy Kimmell and the next morning on GMA. 

I am sorry to see Maks gone, too!  Hopefully, he will be back for some of the pro dances! 


Sharon,
I  don't know if a dance has been chosen yet.  I have not seen places to vote online on the DWTS site.  I will look again.  Not sure that Maks would be a good partner for Sabrina, but would love to see him dance again.  I know you notice his feet!!!!  Do you notice what big steps he takes, too!!  :lol

Good Evening!

Four new dances this evening: Two Step, Charleston, Bolero, and Lambada

Judges' scores:

Melissa & Mark - Charleston - 28

Mya & Dmitry - Lambada - 28

Joanna & Derek - Lambada - 26

Natalie & Alec - Bolero - 24

Donny & Kym - Charleston - 24

Kelly & Louis - Charleston - 23

Mark & Lacey - Two Step - 22

Aaron & Karina - Lambada - 18

Chuck & Anna - Two Step - 17

Michael & Anna - Bolero - 16

Louie & Chelsie - Two Step - 16


I feel sorry for Mya and Dmitry. They just can't please Len. He says their routines are too complicated, and then this evening, he wanted more!!   :bduh  Mya is such a good dancer, I don't know what's wrong with Len!!

Louie really did not dance this evening....just walked around....maybe this was Chelsie's choreography?

Poor Aaron! He started out so well and now can't seem to please the judges at all.


I think that Melissa and Mark's Charleston may be the Encore Dance tomorrow, and Michael Irvin may be going home.


Sharon,
Loved the "Team Donny" picture.  Anna dancing with Chuck is married to Jonathan, who was Marie Osmond's partner and Macy's partner this year.

You are right!  I thought it was Melissa and Mark that Len mentioned the Encore Dance, but it was Joanna and Derek.  Did you catch that Derek said he had to take off his shirt because Maks and Tony(?) were not around anymore.

I think something is wrong with Len this year.  His voting scores are way off from the other two.  I am wondering if maybe this will be his last  year as a judge.  How could anyone not like Mya and Dimitri.  Class all the way!!!!  It was so good to see Ty on his ranch last night.  I really liked that guy and got so used to his personality.   I have to say again I just am not that attached to some of the dancers this year like I normally am.  Don't know if it is me or them.

Pepe and Sharon,

It does seem like there are lots more couples than usual.  I take notes as I watch, especially the judges' scores, and it just seems forever.  Two hours is a long time to watch dance after dance.  Maybe that's why Len is so ornery!!  :lol

Pepe,
It was fun to see Ty again.  He was such a favorite of many last year.  I just loved his gentlemanly personality.

There are some good dancers but not a lot of strong personalities showing through....maybe Donny, Kelly  and ???   When the pro dancers are more animated and personable than the celebrities it makes you wonder!!  :para

Eliminated this evening:

Chuck and Anna

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/3c033de5fa709eb53fcef4cd03635bf3.jpg)

In the bottom two with Chuck and Anna,  Aaron and Karina

It almost seems like a conspiracy against Aaron and Karina.  Aaron was the best guy dancer at the beginning.  I think he is still good; and better than Louie and Michael Irvin.

The encore dance was Melissa and Mark's Charleston, which I thought would be the encore dance. :wink

Shakira was the guest singer;  she has moves like Beyonce!!

The pros  Dmitry and Karina, Alec and Edyta, and Louis and Cheryl danced the Argentine Tango and Pasadoble.

Donny and Kym did not know they were safe until near the end of the show;  I'm sure that was stressful!  :eek

Tomism from yesterday and repeated today.  After Joanna and Derek's Lambada, Carri Ann said she hoped that the children were in bed.  Tom said, "I bet some of the adults are now!!"  :lmao

Jake will make an interesting pick for The Bachelor :slick :clap
I am very surprised that Michael and Anna made it through tonight, I also don't think that Aaron and Louie have the maturity to go much further.  Aaron can't seem to get the judges comments to make sense to him and Louie I feel is there for a good time, and not as serious as he needs to be to go much further.
I am also still in a state of shock that Melissa and Mark were tied for top spot :hypno, they were OK but~~~~
Shakira was just wonderful :clap

For Sharon!!!

Dmitry Chaplin

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/GW150H150.gif)

Dmitry Chaplin was a finalist on FOX's So You Think You Can Dance in Season 2, and appeared on the show the following season as a choreographer.

Dmitry was born in Russia and moved to the U.S. as a teenager. As a professional ballroom dancer, he studied with former Dancing With The Stars professional Louis van Amstel, won the English Open Championship in 2002 and was a finalist in numerous other competitions.

Dmitry was partnered with singer Jewel in Season 8 of Dancing With The Stars before she was forced to withdraw after sustaining stress fractures in her legs during rehearsal. She was replaced by former Playboy playmate Holly Madison. Holly and Dmitry were eliminated in the third week, finishing 11th overall.

Dmitry was partnered with singer Mya for Season 9 of DWTS.

Thanks for all of your hard work, Prissy - I am not enjoyiing this season as much as some past seasons - I don't feel a connection to most of the dancers. My favorites are still Kelly and Donnie - just for themselves. I guess Mya is the best dancer, but for some reason, I just don't connect to her.

Post by: Prissy on October 14, 2009, 08:47:56 PM
Thanks Sharon and Frankie!  I feel like the "hostess" for this thread and try to bring over pictures and tidbits.

Like I said in a previous post, I don't sense a lot of personality from most of these stars, with the exception of Donny and Kelly.  Mya is a terrific dancer, but I still don't feel like I know much about her??   

I agree with you, Sharon, about Mellisa and Mark.  I didn't see that Melissa's Charleston was any better that Donny's or Kelly's.  And no way is Melissa the dancer that Mya is.  I may do some research on Mya to learn more about her.

Sharon,
Did you see the Dmitry picture and post to you above?  If we can't have Maks this season, at lease we can "have" Dmitry!! :thud


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on October 14, 2009, 08:58:49 PM
Here is a link and the first two paragraphs to more information about Mya, real name Focus Marie Harrison

http://www.biggeststars.com/m/mya-biography.html

Focus Marie Harrison was born October 10, 1979, in Washington, D.C, and is the daughter of an African-American father and Italian mother. Her father performed in R&B bands, and must have passed his musical tendency to young Focus. Although she always knew that she would work in the music industry, she started out as a dancer.

Her love of dance shone through when a 2-year-old Focus danced in the pool between the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. She began to take dance lessons soon after, specializing mostly in ballet, jazz and tap. While she lost interest in dance at the age of 8, she still showed passion for music with violin lessons in the fourth grade.

I did watch the Moulin Rouge video.  Mya seems to have a lot of extensive dancing in her background.  And she started at 2 and was giving dance lessons at 14!  :shock   No wonder she looks like a professional.  I'm still not sure how I feel about DWTS stars like Mya with so much dancing background competing with someone like Chuck with no dancing background.  :dunno

You are right.  You can't have all Mya's and all Chuck's....a mix is always good.   Like Idol when they let some of the bad singers in to audition!!

Good Evening!

I am putting photos in photobucket from the Gala, doing laundry, and also watching DWTS.  Skip and I are leaving for Iowa on Wednesday, so I have a lot to do in a short time! :sonic

AT - Argentine Tango
PD - Paso Doble

Donny & Kym - AT - 29

Mya & Dmitry - AT - 27

Mark & Lacey - PD - 26

Aaron & Karina - AT - 24
Kelly & Louis - PD - 24
Joanna & Maks - AT - 24

Melissa & Mark - AT - 23

Natalie & Alec - PD - 22
Louie & Chelsie - AT - 22

Michael & Anna - ?? - 21

Group Dance - THE HUSTLE   Loved seeing that!

Derek has the flu so Maks stepped in to dance with Joanna.  Both Maks and Joanna were on the SUPERSTARS this summer.

I'm guessing the Encore dance will be the group dance, THE HUSTLE, and that Michael may be gong home.

We are in Cedar Rapids and will leave for Wichita tomorrow, then on home.  I'm not sure if I will get to see DWTS Monday evening.  If not, I hope someone will post about the judges' scores and any other interesting tidbits.  If we get to Wichita in time, I hope to see the show and post! :thumb

SASHA, I like Kelly to, think she is trying so hard and I am so darn proud of her.  She is a very pretty girl!  Mya is a terrific dancer, saw them on the Ellen show on Friday dancing, that really surprised me. 

PRISSY, I don't think I could ever report as good as you do.  You would be a great reporter for the paper !!!!!!!!!!  Is Skip going with you and JoAnn to the Gala at the new Cowboy stadium????  Should be interesting.  Make sure you or JoAnn takes your camera.

JOANN, tell Jennie I said hi.  I stayed up more today so am proud of that.  I find if I take a pain pill it helps me to move around and breath better, guess it must relax me.  I don't want to take them all the time though afraid I will get dependant on them.

Hope everyone has a good night and sleeps well tonight.

Pepe,

If we get to Wichita in time, and we should, I will try to watch DWTS.  Wichita is just a stop for us on our way home.  But tomorrow is the loooong drive!  8 hours without stops, so....we'll see how long it takes.  We may get an early start in the morning.

:hugs

Since Prissy isn't going to be able to post tonight's results, I will try.  Not promising to have all the great comments that she has though.   :bigsmile

Tonight they are having a Mambo dance off. 
They are eliminating 2 couples tomorrow night. 

DANCER      DANCE      SCORES
Mya & Dmitry      Jitterbug   8  7  9
Melissa & Mark      Waltz      7  7  6
Mark & Lacey      Jitterbug   9  9  8
Aaron & Karina      Waltz      8  9  8
Michael & Anna      Waltz      6  8  6
Kelly & Louie      Jitterbug   7  6  7
Louie & Chelsie      Jitterbug   7  7  7
Joanna & Derek      Waltz      8  9  9
Donny & Kym      Jitterbug   8  8  8

Mambo Dance Competition (all dancers dancing at the same time)
2 points to first eliminated - 10 points to last standing - with judges deciding

1st out - to last standing:
Michael & Anna      2 points      Total of 22
Louie & Chelsie      3 points      Total of 24
Melissa & Mark      4 points      Total of 24
Kelly & Louie      5 points      Total of 25
Mark & Lacey      6 points      Total of 32
Donny & Kym      7 points      Total of 31
Aaron & Karina      8 points      Total of 33
Mya & Dmitry      9 points      Total of 33
Joanna & Derek      10 points   Total of 36

It's Joanna & Derek with the highest combined total of 36 points and
the lowest total combined points go to Michael & Anna with 22 points.

Should be Michael and Anna going home (depending on voters calls).  Next two lowest couples have a dance off and the loser of the dance off goes home (judges decide the winner and loser).

Taylor Swift is going to perform tomorrow.

Hello Everyone,

 Prissy called me earlier and asked me to post for her tonight about DWTS.  She did watch the show and wrote down all the scores.  She could not post without difficulties at their hotel, so she said that she would do a report tomorrow.

Good Afternoon!

We are home!!  And as JoAnn said, I did get to watch DWTS but could not post last night. We arrived in Wichita and checked in at McConnell Air Force Base lodging at 6:55 pm!!  Just in time for the show!  :thumb  Thanks, Spikee, for listing the dancers and their scores.  I really think Len is partial to Joanna and a little biased against Mya!! 

Michael has a fan base keeping him in the competition, so I don't know if he will leave tonight or not.

Even though Joanna and Aaron have scored high with the judges, they have both been in the bottom two at one time or another.  I have no idea who will leave tonight but hope it is not Donny, Mya, or Kelly.

:dance   :dance   :dance   :dance

PRISSY, those are my picks also.  Donnie is sure a good looking guy.  I saw Marie  yesterday on QVC she was selling her dolls and has come out with a jewlery line to sell.  I can't get over her good looks either.  She has the most beautiful head of hair and her skin is fabulous.  She just turned 50 and looks more like 24.  Yep her and Donnie got the looks and don't look like any of the other brothers.

I agree with you, Len sure is partial to some and really tough on others.   :naughty   I wonder what is going on with him this year?

I will let you do the honors tonight and post who is going home.
 
I would think that it should be Michael with the lowest score and going home. 
Then Aaron & Louie in the dance off.  Either one can go home.   JMO

Who knows.  We will just have to wait and see.   :bigsmile

Eliminated this evening:

Melissa & Mark

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/aa6bc504a48a061508ff61c74b649cc6.jpg)


In the dance off:

Michael and Anna - Samba
Louie and Chelsie - Jive

Also eliminated tonight:

Louie and Chelsie

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/f4670d5122106f8781b1de1cbdbefef5.jpg)


Revealed safe in this order:

Joanna and Derek
Mark and Lacey
Donny and Kym
Aaron and Karina
Mya and Dmitry
Kelly and Louis  (Kelly's birthday today - 25)

Guest singer, Taylor Swift.  Why does she stand with her feet 3 feet apart?  :shock  I've seen other young gal singers stand like this, too. On her second song,   Pro dancers Maks and Edyta, Jonathan and Anna, and Tony and Cheryl danced!  :dance

(I am not impressed with Taylor Swift.  I have heard her sing before, and I don't think she's in a class with Reba, Faith Hill, and Carrie Underwood.  She can carry a tune, but that's about it...not much voice quality!  Beautiful girl, but star quality????)
Just my opinion

Also performing, 7 young men who fled Cuba for freedom, Tiempo Libre.

A thought about the show.  Why have double eliminations?  Why not start out with fewer couples? 


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on October 28, 2009, 05:07:11 AM
PRISSY, thank goodness there is someone who agrees with me as far as Taylor Swift goes.  Hubby and I can't stand her.  I have heard people say she is the new sound in country music and she gets all kinds of awards.  Amazes me for sure.  I don't think she has a voice and she sure does have long legs doesnt she.  I know Kelly Pickler is a good friend of hers and believe they wrote a song together.  I wish she would disappear!!!!!!!!!

Sharon,
I read, I think, in TV GUIDE that the ratings are down this year for DWTS.......and that the "star" power isn't really there.  Except for Donny and maybe Kelly, no real major celebrities.  Some I had not even heard of before!  The pro dancers have more "star power" than some of the stars.    And it also said that the "main" pro dancers like Maks and Cheryl are already gone.  I wish Maks could have a really good partner again like Mel B.

I also read that after Tom DeLay left, the ratings did go up some!!  :lol

No matter, I still love the show and watching it!! :yes

Pepe,
I didn't know if I should say anything about Taylor Swift, but see that someone else agrees with me.  I feel like I can recognize talent and I don't see it with her!  Give me Faith Hill, Reba, Carrie, and even kellie Pickler over Taylor! 

:dance   :dance   :dance


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on October 31, 2009, 04:49:01 PM
PRISSY, I have never had a problem stating my opinion but that is all it is , is my own opinion.  I mentioned before on the OCD I could not see what Taylor Swift had that made her so popular that I thought she lacked talent big time and no one said a word.  So I thought I was the only one that did not like Taylor .  I agree and mentioned that to my husband the other day that Kelly Pickler could sing a lot better but never got recognized like Taylor does.  If I was her I would be embarrassed to get up in front of the crowd and sing but hey she is raking in the money isn't she. I just wonder how long she will last.  Was it that one song that made her so  popular or her singing?????????????? 

I watch DWTS too but have not enjoyed it like I used to.  It seemed to rushed, did not like the shorter dances either.  To many couples and got them all mixed up and really didn't connect with anyone for quite a while.   Before it always seem like a family of sorts not so this  year. 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on October 31, 2009, 07:42:01 PM

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 02, 2009, 09:18:36 PM
The show began with a dance routine by the pros.  I recognized Tony, Alec and Jonathan,  and Edyta, but the other two ladies??

The dancers had individual dances, then they were divided into two teams....Team Paso awarded 24 points and Team Tango, 28 points


Joanna & Derek  -  Rumba  -  27 + 28  =  55

Aaron & Karina - Jive  -  29 + 24 = 53

Donny & Kym - Quick Step = 24 + 28 = 52

Kelly & Louis  -  Salsa  -  24 + 28 = 52

Mya & Dmitry - Fox Trot  -  25 = 24 = 49
(Cloris Leachman showed up to "coach" Mya in her rehearsals!!! :eek)

Michael & Anna  -  Fox Trot  -  23 = 24 = 47

Mark & Anna (Lacey)  -  Samba  -  19 + 24 = 43


Tomisms!!

Michael Irvin was inspired by watching  Barney with his kids for his design of Anna's purple dress. 
Tom:  "If Barney looked like Anna, I'd still be watching without my kids." :lol

Carrie Ann, talking about Arron's dance said, there was one weird thing in the middle.
Tom:  "We call that Len." :lmao

I do think that Len has a bias toward Mya and Dmitry!!  And he is partial to Joanna!

I don't undertand why Len doesn't like Mya.  He is harder on her than anyone else and she is my favorite.



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 03, 2009, 05:13:14 AM
Deanna,

I agree that Mark is a good dancer.  He is usually higher up on the board.  Lacey, once she knew she was sick, should have bowed out sooner so Mark had more time with a new partner.

Sharon,

Love the Tomisims, and when I'm watching my recording of the show, I have time to press the pause button and write them down!!  Tom has such a quick wit!  Perfect host for this show.  Chelsie was one of the gals;  still not sure about the other;  I guess I could go back and see who all has been eliminated.
Of all people, to have CLORIS giving tips on dancing!   :jaw

Pepe,

When Len thinks Michael Irvin dances a better Fox Trot than Mya, something is wrong.  Mya gets such high scores from Bruno and Carrie Ann.  I don't know why Len doesn't like her.  She is a favorite of mine, too.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: clayMaine-iac on November 03, 2009, 02:20:21 PM
I get the impression that Len does not like Dmitry's choreography.  He always has something to say about how there is too much "messing around" in their routines and not enough dancing.  I wonder if he thinks Mya has any control over this stuff. :shrug  Maybe he thinks they are doing this because she can't do the full routine.  I believe she can!!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 03, 2009, 06:26:58 PM
Deanna,

I think you are right.  Len does not like Dmitry's choreography, which I think has some interesting aspects!!  The silhouette feature at the beginning and end was a nice touch, I thought! 

Mya has been able to do every dance and do them well!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: claydevotee on November 03, 2009, 06:34:16 PM
Rod Stewart has seen better days...vocally and otherwise.  But he still has a lot of charm and charisma.  And he knows how to sell a song, for sure!!!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 03, 2009, 06:59:43 PM

Bottom three:
Mark and Lacey
Michael and Anna
Aaron and Karina  (Surprising because they had a 29 from the judges and second overall last night.)

Guest singers:

Colbie Caillat       
Alec and Edyta danced.  Tom said he saw Edyta and "thought" Alec was there, too!  :lol  I thought he might comment on the half a yard of fabric used to make Edyta's costume  (My own "Tomism") :lmao

Ballas Hough
Mark and Derek. singing!  Oh, my!   Don't give up your dancing shoes.  This was a song sung mainly on one note!!  :shock

Rod Stewart!   What can I say?  Thea, you said it all! 

Frankie has said she wishes Clay would be the guest singer on this show!  Clay could out sing all the guest soloists this evening!!

I hated to see Mark go.  I really liked his athleticism, his drive, and his "lines".  I thought he was trying really hard and concertrating on getting the steps correct.  :cry

I feel bad for him because the poor dance this week wasn't really his fault.

Do you gals have a feeling for why Aaron gets so few fan votes???


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 04, 2009, 06:49:33 PM
Deanna,

It does seem like Aaron does not have much of a fan base.  I don't think Karina is one of the more popular pro dancers, either.


I thought Mark deserved better than he got last night.  For one off week, and not his fault, to cost him his place on the show seemed unfair. 

PS:  Not related to DWTS!!  We had 50 Trick or Treaters this year.  I know you usually have a huge number.  How did you do this year?

In regards to Aaron, I find him hard to watch, he is gangly and goofy all rolled together :lol could be why :blush and also Prissy I agree that Karina isn't that popular a female pro especially with Maks fans :lol :naughty

We are thrilled to get as many as 50 Trick or Treaters as we live on a street with people more our age and not a lot of kids.  I believe that families remember our house and our block and drive their kids in.

We have a lighted Halloween archway coming up onto our big deck.  Then on the deck we have a fog machine and strobe light going.  We also have a witch (about 3 ft tall) that stirs a cauldrom and smoke comes out.  The best part is we have a motion actived head with eyes that light up and mouth that opens and closes and she makes scary sounds.  We mount that on a pole so the kids have to walk by her and set her off.  The reactions are priceless. :lol

Good Evening!

I am still drowsy from the pain pills I'm taking for my tooth extraction, but I'm watching DWTS and will be posting results.  Finally, Len liked Mya's dancing.

I'm leaning toward Mya winning and Donny coming in second.  Donny, mainly because of his popularity, but also I'm not that taken with Aaron or Joanna, and I like Kelly but I don't think she's in a class with Mya.  Just my own thoughts.

PRISSY, I agree with you 100%.  I think it's time for Kelly to go home.  She's done well but I think she's hit the proverbial "glass ceiling". 

I also thought that Derek's choreography was brilliant.  I'm not fond of Derek the man (frankly I think he's an egotistical man-boy), but I do believe he has established himself as a 1st class choreographer! 

BTW PRISSY, I'm glad to hear that you got through your oral surgery without any complications.  I'll bet you're going to sleep well tonight!     :hugg

Two dances for each couple this evening;  a Ballroom dance then a Latin number incorporating a certain decade

Dances and Judges' Results:

Mya & Dmitry - Quick Step--29   70's Samba--30  =  59  :wheee

Joanna & Derek - Quick Step--23   Future Paso Doble--29  =  52

Kelly & Louis - Fox Trot--25   60's Jive--26   =   51

Aaron & Karina - Fox Trot--23    90's Samba--27  =  50

Donny & Kym - Viennese Waltz--26   80's Paso Doble--24   =   50


Before the Latin round, three pro couples danced a Latin number.  I recognized Mark and Tony, and possibly the Anna that was Michael Irvin's partner??  Didn't recognize the other guy and two gals.

Tomisim:  After Kelly's Jive, she was sitting on Bruno's lap.  Tom said:  "You make Ozzie look like Hugh Beaumont!"  :roflmao  (Hugh Beaumont played Ward Cleaver, Beaver's dad.)


Thanks, Thea!  :hugs

I am so glad Mya got the scores she deserves tonight, she and Dmitry were spectacular :clap :clap Donny's popularity will keep him going I feel, he does tend to make little slip ups a lot :naughty but he's such a good performer :clap
I really am not fond of Joanna, haven't been all along, and Derek's choreography is what set their routine up to be great, not her dancing I feel. Aaron has come so far, as has Kelly, can't imagine who will be leaving.

I want Mya, Kelly and Donny in the final 3. Mya for the win and agreed about Donny in 2nd. I think Joanna or Aaron could be leaving tomorrow.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 10, 2009, 05:43:58 AM
If there is an Encore dance, I'm guessing it might be Mya and Dmitry's 70's Samba.  They had a perfect 30 score on it.


I looked back at some of my posts to see who has been in jeopardy or in the bottom two.   Aaron and Karina have been in the Bottom Two at least three times;  Joanna and Derek have been in jeopardy.

I don't think Mya, Donny, or Kelly have been in the bottom two yet.  I believe they will be the Final Three.

Aaron just doesn't get the audience votes that he needs and I am not that fond of Joanna.  Even though Aaron and Joanna may be better dancers than Kelly, I think Kelly will get more popular votes than they do and outlast them.  Being on DWTS seems to have been a very positive thing for Kelly and helped her to mature and become more responsible.

Prissy, I agree, poor Aaron just hasn't connected for votes, if more men voted, Joanna would never be in jeopardy, happened to google her and she has quite the front covers on MAXIM  :jaw and thats not our Maksim :para :lol
I am still shocked that Donny and Kym were tied for last place, their Viennese waltz was beautiful, I guess the Paso lacked a little je ne sais quois :para :roflmao

Yesterday's Entertainment Tonight had a segment of Joanna showing Derek her soon to be published cover for Playboy  :para Not sure that will help her with votes, but what do I know! I still like Kelly and Donny, although I suppose the Mya is the best dancer. I think Aaron Carter's reality show with his family is one reason that many people have not connected with him - it did not show that family in a good light! I will be gone tonight, but will record the show!

Hi you all...

I love dancing with the stars...and I so enjoy Tom's quick wit, too.  If Donny wern't trying to keep up with his Vegas show, I think he'd be performing quite a bit better...he does have a great sense of the music doesn't he...and of course he is a crowd pleaser.  I'm glad he did this show.  I agree wtih you all...Mya is the best dancer...however, a number of years the best dancer came in second. ...sound like someone we know and love? lol  I also think Kelly's fan base will keep her in.  So, my guess for going home...Joanne and Aaron...although I think Joanne is better than both Kelly and Mya as a dancer...but she does lack personal warmth, which is pretty important on a TV show in which popularity matters.

Sure wish our guy could guest on it sometime!  Hope Springs Eternal...and all that...:-)

Johanna,

I think that Donny is more likable than Joanna and that may be what will carry him to the end. I still remember what a "b__chy" person Joanna was on SUPERSTARS this past summer.  Also,  I would like to see Donny beat Marie's third place finish!  :thumb 

Mya is the most talented dancer and has lots of dancing in her background, but personality may win out in the end.  I still think it will be Mya, Donny, and Kelly as the last three, but in what order????

Aaron may be the one going home this evening.  (I hope there isn't a dance off.  I don't like the pressure put on the stars.) :para

And that makes me sad, cause he's tried so hard, he really has, I have not enjoyed watching him till last night.  The competition is supposed to be about who is the best dancer, not the most popular, but it sometimes doesn't work that way. I also want Donny to better Marie :naughty :blush but I don't think he danced as well as Aaron last night.

Aaron was so eloquent in losing tonight, I felt very proud of him :clap.  Thought it was also fitting of Len to send him feeling good about what he had accomplished on the show, that was great to do!!! I still feel he was just coming into his own, too bad it had to end.
I thought the Dance Centre was pretty funny tonight, kinda goofy, but funny :lol
Loved Sabrina and Mark doing the paso :clap :clap they were on :flame and as always, loved watching Maks' feet :bigsmile
I see Hugh Hefner was in the audience cheering his latest protege Joanna on :para I believe her Playboy cover is out soon :naughty
OK, I'm gonna say it~~~Mya and Dmitry deserved the encore dance :bang :bang :cuss

I agree, SHARON.  Unlike Derek/ Joanna's dance, there were no gimmicks in Mya/Dmitry's dance.....only technical perfection and pure artistry.

Sharon,
I still feel that Len is "pushing" for Joanna to win.  He usually picks the Encore Dance, and I thought Mya and Dmitry's Perfect 10's dance should have been chosen.

Aaron has matured a lot....he used to cry or get angry after bad reviews from the judges, but he has shown a more grownup side as the weeks went by.  He is a better dancer than Donny, but just doesn't have Donny's popularity.  I'm hoping Joanna goes next week and we have a final that has Mya in first place, Donny in second place, and Kelly in third place.  :bigsmile


Thea,
Michael Buble has a pleasant enough voice but I wasn't blown away by it.  I think Clay is a much better singer.  I, too, wish they would have Clay as the guest soloist. 

I enjoyed hearing Susan Boyle sing.

 :yeahthat

Your right, Mya should have had the encore dance.  I don't think she has had one yet has she?  She got a perfect score, where Joanna didn't.  Derek's choreography was fantastic, but it isn't about the professional dancers - is it?

It really was Aaron's time to go.  He just doesn't do anything for me.  To immature still.  His dancing has improved, but still not thrilled with him.

I thought this was interesting.  Odds on DWTS in September:

Dancing with the Stars Odds  – 9th Season of Dancing with the Stars – September 21, 2009-December 1, 2009

Aaron Carter 3/1
Mya 4/1
Macy Gray 5/1
Donny Osmond 5/1
Michael Irvin 7/1
Natalie Coughlin 7/1
Kathy Ireland 10/1
Ashley Hamilton 12/1
Louie Vito 12/1
Melissa Joan Hart 12/1
Chuck Liddell 15/1
Kelly Osbourne 20/1
Tom DeLay 25/1

Joanna Krupa 15/2
Mark Dacascos 15/2
Debi Mazar 19/2

Some stand out surprises:  that Macy was rated so high and Kelly so low!  Joanna and Mark were two of the better dancers and still rated low!

Here is the order of elmination:

Macy
Ashley
Kathy
Debi
(Tom chose to leave at this point.)
Chuck
Natalie
Melissa
Louie
Michael
Mark
Aaron

Still in the running:  Mya, Donny, Kelly, and Joanna

Orchestra practice this evening, so I just finished watching DWTS.  It will be really hard to see any of them go.  They are all deserving in different ways for being in the finals.

Dances and Judges' scores:

Mya & Dmitry -  Waltz-28   Salsa-30   Cha Cha-29    Total - 87

Joanna & Derek - Viennese Waltz-27   Cha Cha-27   Salsa-27    Total - 81

Kelly & Louis - Rumba-24   Quick Step-27   Cha Cha-27    Total - 78

Donny & Kym - Tango-21   Samba-26   Jitterbug-27    Total - 74


I really think that Mya and Joanna should be the final two with Mya winning!

I don't know who should be in third place....Donny or Kelly   I think Kelly will be okay with fourth place because she is so thrilled to have come this far.  I think Donny wants to beat Marie's record or at least tie it.  And Donny has lots of fans out there, so he may be in the Finals. 


Tomisims:
Donny was upset after messing up his first dance and sat on the floor:  Tom:  "We've got an Osmond down!  Another Osmond down!"
  Even more funny because Marie was there tonight!!  :roflmao

Bruno (who is openly gay) said after one of Joanna's dances:  "I just can't get you out of my bed."   Tom, a little later, "I can't help but think she'd find a way out pretty quickly."   :lol

Len and Bruno both had some funny things to say tonight, too!!  :lol

Good show last night!!  I like Donny and he is a doll, what good looks and charm but don't think he should be in the finals.  I would love to see Kelly there.  What a pretty girl she has become and she has worked so hard.  I guess I have taken her to my heart and hope after DWTS she continues in building a good life for herself.  MYA is just fantastic.  Still am not a Joann fan at all!!!

I just finished watching last night's show (I never watch the last 30 minutes because I watch Big Bang Theory with Lewis - our favorite show!) I love Donnie, but it may be time for him to go, even though his dances were good. (Too bad they messed up the first dance - really bad that his partne';s dress got in the way). Mya is the best dancer by far - her waltz was so beautiful that I watched it several times. I hope Joanna goes tonight, even though she is probably the second best dancer. Derek is such a great choreographer that he always makes his partners do well.

Joanna and Derek

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/523ccabe60c2895522128bd1f9f7bb0d.jpg)

Joanna is a really great dancer but I don't think she ever caught on with the audience and the voters which is what also happened with Aaron.  I am happy with the Final Three!!


Safe in this order:
Mya and Dmitry
Donny and Kym   (You could tell Donny was thrilled!  At least he has done as well as Marie...3rd place and may do better!)
Kelly and Louis

Lots of guest singers this evening!!

First, from the new movie, NINE, a song and dance performance of "Be Italian."

Second, Alicia Keys with four unknown pro dancers

Third, Leona Lewis with some pro dancers  (I don't see the popularity of Leona Lewis!) :dunno

Fourth, the fabulous Bee Gees.  Sad, just to see the two of them when originally, there were 4 including brothers Andy Gibb and Maurice!  Melissa Mycroft  (DWTS and The Bachelor) was featured with Tony,  also, Cheryl, Chelsie?  and  another pro

One more week!!!

:dance   :dance   :dance


Thank you Sharon and Monica!

It is my pleasure to "host" the DWTS thread.  I love this show, in spite of some of the flaws....too many dancers and unusual eliminations.  I hope it continues for many more seasons!!

haven't heard many of het new songs. But she's great.

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 17, 2009, 08:29:08 PM
Sharon,

Joanna is a better dancer than Donny and Kelly, but she just didn't catch on with the audience.  Donny and Kelly have lots of fans and get the votes.  I still think Mya should win, but it's very possible that the popularity of Donny and Kelly could cause Mya to come in third.  I think that would be a real tragedy because Mya is probably one of the best "star" dancers to ever be on DWTS.

I think even Donny and Kelly would feel odd winning over Mya.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: fhmmany2 on November 17, 2009, 08:49:50 PM
I'm so glad this thread is here! Lewis ws trying to tape another show, and somehow DWTS did not record (I was not home). I am happy with the Top 3, too. I agree that Mya deserves to win. The other 2 probably also think so, but then IMO the best dancer did not win last year, so you can never tell.

Just coming in to tell you all DWTS will be on Larry King tonight with Tom hosting. It's on 3 times here. 9, 12 and 3 in the morning.

I enjoyed watching Tom host and the dancers on the Larry King Show.  I did watch it live, but also should have it recorded.  Donny was in Las Vegas doing four shows with Marie.  Kym was with him.  I imagine that they use any extra time Donny has rehearsing their dances!

FOUR DANCES for the Final!!  :eek   That includes the Free Style, too.  I think the year that Maks and Mel B were partners, the Free Style is what cost them the championship.  It was just odd, as I recall. 

Thanks again, Tiffany, for letting us know about the LK Show!

Getting a little nervous about tonight.  I will be upset if Mya doesn't win as they are the best.  As much as I like Kelly and have taken her into my heart she should not win as she is not the best dancer and afterall that is what the show is about is it not, the best dancer????????? 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS

Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 23, 2009, 04:42:00 PM
I am getting excited, too!

I really don't know who will win.  If it is the best dancer, as Shirley said, it will be Mya.  Mya and Donny both have a lot of dancing in their backgrounds, though not ballroom dancing.  Kelly came into the competition with no dance background at all, so.....they are all deserving.

I would really like for it to be:

Mya and Dmitry - winner of the Mirror ball trophy

Donny and Kym - second place (and he will have done better than Marie!!) :thumb

Kelly and Louis - third place and I think Kelly will be thrilled to have third

Now, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see who the big winner is.

I went back to the first of this thread and it was Season Two that we all started posting and now we are into Season Nine!!

Post by: Prissy on November 23, 2009, 06:30:32 PM
The judges visited each of the Final three with some helpful instructions.

Carrie Ann met with Kelly and Louis to help them with their Argentine Tango. 

Len met with Mya and Dmitry to give them his thoughts on the Paso Doble.  (Len has been the most critical of the judges of Mya and Dmitry...usually Dmitry's choreography and the little extra things they added to their routines.)

Bruno met with Donny and Kym who were rehearsing the Cha Cha Cha.  (Bruno said that he "yelled" at Donny for an hour about his technique and Donny is such a professional and a credit to entertainment he listened and was very cooperative.  I love Donny!  Such a sweethear!.)


Dances and judges' scores:

Mya and Dmitry:  Total for tonight - 87
     Pasodoble - 30
     Mega Mis - 30
     Free Style - 27

Donny and Kym:  Total for tonight - 85
     Cha Cha Cha - 27
     Mega Mix - 28
     Free Style - 30  :clap

Kelly and Louis - Total for tonight - 76
     Argentine Tango - 26
     Mega Mix - 26
     Free Style - 24



After Mya and Dmitry's Paso Doble, Len said his very favorite Pasodoble of all the seasons was Maks and Mel B!  :wheee  but Mya and Dmitry were right up there with them.  I just loved Maks and Mel B. together.....my favorite pairing of all the seasons!
(Have I learned to spell Paso Doble.....Pasodoble.....Pasadoble.....yet???)  :pullhair

Louis had some trouble with the lifts in the Free Style.  Kelly just laughed and kept going.  I admire her for not beating herself up over it and laughing and having a good time!! 

I was disappointed in Mya and Dmitry's free style and I blame Dmitry.  He didn't give Mya enough to do; no complicated footwork and very few lifts.  I think they should have gone with Mya's ideas for the Free Style, a more Vegas type routine. 

Did I say how much I love Donny Osmond!!  What a trooper!  Great Free Style!  :wheee

:dance   :dance   :dance


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: mrs. c. on November 23, 2009, 06:47:04 PM
Well, I think Dmitry's ideas on choreography for the free style could cost Mya the trophy :naughty She IS the best dancer without a doubt, but Donny has the fan base and the state of Utah behind him, could come down to popularity after the freestyle, and that will bother me.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 23, 2009, 08:19:40 PM
Sharon,

You may be right.  Donny's perfect score Free Style certainly put him at the forefront tonight.  I just voted and did give all five of my votes to Mya and Dmitri.  (On the DWTS thread, now I see it's Dmitri).  I thought his name ended with a "y."

Mya has been consistently the best dancer and really deserves to win,  but Donny is very popular!  He could very well walk away with the Mirror Ball Trophy!!  Only two points away from Mya with the judges' scores, and if he gets a lot more viewer votes than Mya, then.......:dunno

I knew there was supposed to be a fourth dance, so that may be on the results show.  The judges will score them one more time and then that score will be added in to the viewer votes.  So, no one knows who will win until tomorrow night.

Often, the one who deserves to win (Mel B with Maks) do not win.  And with Mel B and Maks, the Free Style hurt them the most!

The one thing that's predictable is the unpredictability of this show!

I have to say I was a little disappointed with the dances last night.  Loved it when Lem mentioned Maks and Mel B. and their Paso D dance.   Yep they were the best for sure.  Perfect partners!!!!  Loved Kelly in the first dance thought she was the best.  The other two dances she had fun, really do love the girl and her outlook on life.  Hope she continues to do well.  I was disappointed in everyone's freestyle dance I didn't think they were as good as what I have seen in the past.   I bet Donnie' s wife will be glad when this is over.  To have your hubby dancing many hours a day with Kim has to kind of get under your skin.  That one practice session the girl didn't have  a heck of a lot of clothes on.   :lol Donnie sure doesn't show his age well Marie doesn't either. 



Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on November 24, 2009, 06:48:20 AM
Sharon,

There is just no telling what will happen this evening!


Pepe,

Donny is such a likable guy!  You can't help but love him.  And he is still cute as a button!  He was really "gorgeous" in his younger years.  It was funny when Kym said he was old enough to be the father of the other two,  Kelly and Mya.  And he is twice Kelly/s age.

Mya is a sweet gal but she hasn't shown the outgoing personalities that Donny and Kelly have.  I don't know if that will hurt her or not.
You feel like me....Maks and Mel B were just perfect together and I did appreciate Len mentioning them and their Paso doble.

I think Donny said something about a certain dance move would have him sleeping on the couch!  Kym is a beautiful girl, but I think Donny looks at her as his "drill sergeant" and teacher.  I'm sure he has spent much more time with Kym, like the others do with their pro dancers, than his wife or family;  even Marie and they have continued their act in Las Vegas while the DWTS season goes on.

I feel like you do about Kelly.  I hope this puts her on a path to bigger and better things.  She has grown and matured so much during this show and her confidence level is so much higher than it was.  Louis turned out to be a good partner for her;  very patient yet demanding.  I don't think she was used to anyone telling her what to do; even her parents.

Good Evening!

It's fun to see all the stars and pro dancers back this evening.  It seems like a long time since we've seen some of them.  I will admit I've been muting some of the "comedy" segments.   :chair  I did enjoy seeing Maks giving Miss Piggy a massage!!  :lol

Whitney Houston sang at the beginning;  I listened to some of it and then also muted Whitney.  :chair

I'm ready for them to get to the main dance off!  I thought this was an hour show, but I guess they've s t r e t c h e d it out to more than an hour!   :para


Last dances and scores:

Kelly and Louis - Viennese Waltz - 26

Mya and Dmitri - Jive - 28

Donny and Kym - Argentine Tango - 30



We're waiting for the votes to be totaled and anything could happen!!! 

Whoo!  Donny singing "Puppy Love" while Louie and Chelsie dance.

WINNER OF DANCING WITH THE STARS
Donny and Kym
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/1432950ef1eb66932af3e6db1c149c41.jpg)

SECOND PLACE
Mya and Dmitri
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/52f0f81472d07c9e51a2bf8b8be83577.jpg)

THIRD PLACE
Kelly and Louis

:dance   :dance   :dance

I think Donny is truly thrilled to win this trophy.   I feel like many of you that Mya was the best dancer of all of them there, but Donny just had that popular vote and the judges' votes yesterday and today helped, too, I'm sure.  I am glad that Mya did get second place and not third. 

I can't wait to see what Kelly does next.  I hope she gets offers for movies or maybe some TV work, too!!

Great season again!!! 

:hugs to all the contributors here!

Although I love, respect and admire Donny for his supreme showmanship and his personal integrity, I must say I am very disappointed that he won.  However, I am very happy for Kym that she has finally taken a partner to the top!!!  She is so talented and lovely.

I so had hoped that Mya and Dimitry would have won, but oh well, I have no doubt we will be seeing a lot of Mya in the future.  I think Broadway will be clamoring for her, and I wouldn't be surprised if some Hollywood mogul ended up offering her a starring role in a TV series.  IMO she has a brilliant career ahead of her.  I'm not worried about Mya!   :no  She will do just fine!

Thank you Prissy once again for being the perfect hostess here :hugg You are part of the reason I love to come and enjoy the show, even if Mya didn't win :bang :bang :bigsmile

Thank you Sharon!

I love hosting this thread!  Now, we'll have to gear up for The Bachelor in January!!


Thea,

I think everyone knows Mya was the best dancer, but Donny has that personality and got the popular vote.


The three finalists and their dancing partners will be on GMA and The View, today.

DWTS TV appearances!!

Donny and Kym were on Jimmy Kimmell but not in person.  Jimmy talked to them where they were still at the DWTS set.  Jimmy had picked and bet a $1000 on Donny that he would win, and Jimmy won $7000.  Donny encouraged Jimmy to be on DWTS.  Jimmy said he wanted to be an honorary Osmond.  Donny had the camera go in really close to Jimmy's face and told Jimmy to smile and show a lot of teeth.  He passed the test to be an honorary Osmond!  :lol  But what about the "other" Jimmy Osmond???

I also watched the dancers on GMA.  The couples each danced;  then they took some questions and answers.  Emirel was cooking some Thanksgiving dishes, and the dancers joined them.  Donny encouraged the hosts and Emirel to be on DWTS.

Then, near the end of The View, the runner ups came out and were introduced,  then Donny and Kym danced the jitterbug and Elizabeth and Sherri were holding the two trophies.  Sherri said they were heavy.  Again, Donny encouraged them to be on DWTS.

On ET, it showed Mary Hart and Marie at the Finals with Donny and Kym.  Marie seemed thrilled for Donny.  Donny teased Marie that she could have the trophy for one day.  Also, that when Marie was doing one of her solos in their Vegas show, he might walk across the stage with the mirror ball trophy.  :lmao

Mya and Kelly got to talk more on GMA;  very little mention of them on ET......that was definitely a show rooting for Donny.

Funny spelling thing!  I've been in a quandary about how to spell Dmitri/Dmitry.  On GMA in the corner of the screen when they were dancing it read Myo and Dmitry!  So???? :pullhair

Maks was just on GMA donating coats to their coat drive. I think they should take the coats he donated (they were his own coats)  :thud and put them up on ebay - the coat drive would really make some money!!!!!  :lol He said that he thought Donny would win from the first - and he also said that Mya was the best dancer "hands down".

What will we do on Monday and Tuesday nights until next season????????

Post by: Pepe on November 26, 2009, 12:42:36 PM
I was going to post that to Frankie but the site was to slow and i couldn't wait for it to load yesterday.  I was really shocked when Maks came out with the coats.  The girl that was achoring to seemed kind of flustered and I saw Maks kind of give her a once over as she is Russian too.  did you hear where he said he was going to be in the stage play now thru next  year and that is the play that Kim is going to be in and she had to learn the dances in 1 1/2 days ?  Don't think he or Kim will be back on DWTS next season because of it.  He sure is a hot looking male.  Very sexy, strong and all male but still he has high values, you can just tell.

Post by: fhmmany2 on November 26, 2009, 07:32:27 PM
Pepe - I did not see that about Maks being in the Broadway show - I just happened to walk into the room and saw that he had donated the coats. Donny did announce on GMA (I think it was yesterday morning) that Kim was going to be in a Broadway show beginning tomorrow (Friday), but they did not mention that Maks was in the same show. I will hate it if they cannot be on the show next year, but they both deserve to have some good career opportunities come from DWTS, so if that is the case, then I will just be happy for them. I have really wondered why Maks hasn't been tapped for a play ( I know he was briefly in a musical play with Karina) or a movie before now. I did not catch the name of the play - does anybody know which one?

EDIT - Maks is returning to the same play as before "Burn The Floor". Here is an article:

WOW!!!!  I wish I could afford to do NY to see Kym and Maks, what fun!!! Thanks Frankie, and did you read there also rumour has it that Cheryl is in talks to play Roxie Hart in Chicago :wow
Maybe that's why there were so many alumni pros this season to get us used to them before some of our favorite's disappear for some time. :para I hope they go back to fewer couples next season also.


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Pepe on November 27, 2009, 05:44:37 AM
Now getting together to go to NY to see Maks in that play would be well worth the money!!  Maybe we should change and follow the dancers instead of the singers.  I think Cheryl playing Roxie would be wonderful.  Go Cheryl!!!!!!!!!!!  I will miss the regulars if they leave us though.  I never did connect with the new girl pro on DWTS this year.  I think young Chealse is one of the most talented pros on the show.

Shirley, Chelsie is something :clap :clap I have to admit though I did like Anna (new pro) she will blossom as she gets more comfortable too I think.  She is so gorgeous.  I love Chelsie when they have her dance during featured singers segments when she can really let loose :lol
Wonder how I could save enough to go see Burn the Floor :slick :thud

As Franknie said, the new lineup of stars and dancers as well as the new co host for DWTS will be announced this evening on a show that a few of us have been watching, THE BACHELOR.

I have read that there will be fewer couples this year, 10 or 12, instead of the 16 from last year.   

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/Prissy2/DWTS/g-ent-100224-scoop-dwts-hostshmediu.jpg)
 Vanessa Minnillo, Brooke Burke and Melissa Rycroft are reportedly among those being considered to replace co-host Samantha Harris on "Dancing With the Stars."

Samantha Harris has been a correspondent for THE INSIDER, and is going to also be a correspondent for ET.   She will be missed!! 

Thanks to Karen and Sharon for DWTS information!!  We are all ready for it to begin again!  March 22!!  :dance   :wheee

I don't know but I am not happy with the DWTS group.  Come on a retired astronaut?  I can't seem to get excited about this group.  And I have to admit I am tired of seeing and hearing about Kate Goslin.  I also would rather have Apollo back!  I have to say I was disappointed that he didn't win the gold.

Sharon,

Thanks for this news.  Even though I did not comment on the thread, Brooke would have been my choice.  She is not as "hyper" as Melissa is and will do a great job.  She will certainly have empathy for all the stars having been in their place and also a winner of the competition.  I just couldn't see a guy (Nick Lahey) as a cohost!!  :para

I just remembered that  Brooke was a big fan of Clay and was in the audience at least once during AI2.  I remember Ryan talking to her and she said she was a fan of Clay.  :bigsmile

Can't wait for the "Tomism's!"   :lmao

Jake and his dancing partner Chelsie (and Vienna) were on a local show called GOOD MORNING TEXAS.  Jake and Chelsie talked about DWTS and Chelsie said Jake probably didn't realize yet how much work it would be.  Vienna came out, too, and said she and Chelsie were good friends;  she wasn't jealous of her.  Jake and Chelsie did a few steps of Salsa.  I hope Jake improves!  :para

Jake did say when he was asked about being on DWTS, he said he would have to think about it and talk it over with Vienna.  Vienna said that she said call them right now; go; go!! 

There was a cooking segment on the show and Jake, Vienna, and Chelsie came out to sample some food;  then there was a segment with a local band and Jake and Vienna were dancing and Chelsie danced with the co host of the program.

Looking forward to this season!  Glad Tony, Maks and Derek are back.  :bouncy I know Derek also has a band, so I wasn't sure he'd be back.

Damian looks afraid... :para :hypno :lol

I've got to admit, Pamela has kept in shape, she's 42 now.
Kate also, can't believe she looks that good after having all of those kids!


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: Prissy on March 14, 2010, 01:45:42 PM
Karen,

I don't know if you ever watched any of the JON AND KATE PLUS 8 shows, but in one episode, we see that Kate has a tummy tuck.  A plastic surgeon's wife was a fan of their show and saw Kate show her stretched out tummy on one of the episodes.   The woman persuaded her plastic surgeon husband to operate on Kate (free of charge, as far as we know).   

When Kate's husband Jon had his meltdown and decided he wanted a divorce, the daughter of the plastic surgeon and his wife was one of his girlfriends!  :eek

I know!  Probably too much information!  :lol


Damian looks afraid of Pamela?!   I think he may have a reason!!   :lmao


Sharon,
It may be too late for this weekend, but ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT has an hour long weekend show that has lots of the news bits from the shows that week.   It automatically taped on Saturday, and as I fast forwarded through it, they showed the segments with the DWTS couples featured this week.  I believe it included Derek and Nicole,  Maks and Erin,  Niecy and Louis,  Evan and Anna,  Chad and Cheryl, and Kate and Tony.  I am guessing that each day next week they will feature a different couple!   :bigsmile
Erin seems smitten with Maks!  She kept hugging him and ET showed "sparks" flying between them!!   But who wouldn't be smitten with Maks!!
  :thud :faint


Title: Re: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Post by: karen28 on March 14, 2010, 03:11:42 PM
Never "too much information," Prissy!!!  :lol
I've seen some of those shows where they do surgical tummy tucks (my husband watches those all the time, he's obsessed :para).  And although they do help a lot, these people still usually look plump and still have their cellulite.  We'll see; those costumes don't hide much!!

It doesn't surprise me that Jon did that, I have very little respect for the guy.  Having never watched the show, I've only seen the "not nice" version of Jon.  Don't like him.  Now he's unhappy Kate is moving on to DWTS and getting more attention than he is.  Fortunately, he can't block that one!  He is making a stink about her spending time on the show, away from the kids tho.   :icon_eek: Do not like him.

Hey, anyone else think that Aiden dude is HOT???  I may have to start watching soaps again!! :lol

Brooke Burke - always liked her, ever since she was in the audience at American Idol when Clay sang "Unchained Melody!"  Remember Ryan pointing her out, she was patting her heart, like she was "In Love!!"  I think she'll be great as a replacement on the show.  (I like her better than Melissa Rycroft)

Prissy, is Erin single???  Could be fun to watch her and Maks interact, if so!  Hope she has a strong work ethic!  :para

Karen, I want Aiden to be hot, Edyta deserves to be going right to the very end :clap with Maks of course :wink that's who I want in the finals :bigsmile
