Dancing With the Stars

Did anyone watch this show tonight? Can you tell me who got voted off? For some reason our local station lost its picture right at the end, and we spent the last five minutes staring at the ABC logo!

Maybe someone could PM me, since there might be people who taped the show and don't want to know the results just yet. Thanks.

Rob, does your TV have any of those fancy knobs on it that you can either use your hand or remote on, you know the kind, the OFF button?!?!? :Hahaha:

Turn off TV? What are you, some kind of Communist?

:Hahaha: Well, I don't think I would sit there hypnotized by the ABC logo!!!

I wouldn't say that I was hypnotized by the ABC logo. No... not at all... not hypnotized...

But you know, much of today's best programming can be found on the ABC network. Whether your tastes run to comedy, drama, or reality, you'll find something here to love. After you've roamed the TV dial, come home... come home to ABC.

Now, what were we talking about?

Yeah.......I heard that they were running subliminal messages behind their logo last night - I'm glad to hear that it was just a rumor. You obviously weren't affected. :unsure: :Hahaha:

Hey all! Anyone planning to watch this season? I watched a little last season, but not enough to call myself a 'fan'. This season, I WILL be watching, as one of my all-time faves will be on: Jane Seymour!

They just announced the contestants this morning:

In order of announcement:
Marie Osmond
Floyd Mayweather
Melanie Brown
Helio Castrovneves
Jennie Garth
Cameron Matheson
Jane Seymour
Albert Reed
Sabrina Bryan
Mark Cuban
Josie Maran
Wayne Newton

Who are half those people? Wayne Newton, yuck!! The cast seems boring except maybe Jane Seymore. I only watched last season because Apolo Anton Ohno was on. And he won!!!!

Beckie

Yeah, a lot of these people are not really considered 'celebrities', IMHO. Some are models, Helio is a racecar driver. He's actually got quite a personality...I'll bet he goes far. Marie Osmond is famous, and Jennie Garth is from Beverly Hills 90210. I'll bet the models are voted off quick! (Well, that is, the females of America won't be voting for them( )....they'll have to depend on the male vote! ) Oh, and I guess Cameron Matheson is a soap star (All My Children). Mark Cubin is a self-made billionaire and owner of HD-Net, and the Dallas Mavericks. He had his own reality a couple years ago.

He is from here in Pittsburgh, but that doen't really thrill me, lol.

Beckie

Who is from Pittsburg, Beckie? Mark Cubin?

Yeah, that's what they said, but I never heard of the dude, lol.

Beckie

This was great both last night and tonight! Not too crazy about the men. I love Helio (the race car driver) the most (of the men). Wayne Newton was pretty bad! Jane Seymour did a great job last night! I really liked Jennie Garth too. This should be a fun season!

Good I don't like Wayne Newton, lol.

Beckie

Well, the model named "Josie" went home first. Must be Wayne has a bigger fan base, because he certainly was lacking talent!

Maybe Wayne will be like that basketball player from last season. He just basically sleep-walked through his routines, but didn't get voted off for weeks and weeks.

Just to let you guys know...it's on for two hours tonight! GO JANE!! Last week she did a more 'subdued' Fox Trot, very well I might add! Tonight I hope she can show everyone that she can mambo!

I was sad to see Jane go, but I understand it too. Her partner really wasn't giving her great choreography, for one thing. I think he was almost afraid to give her too much, because of all she's gone through...first her mother's death, then the fires in CA, and then food poisoning! One can hardly blame him for holding back. And also Jane seemed to have only one style of dancing...ballet. All her dances had a balletic quality to them, whether fast or slow. She's beautiful to watch, but some of the other dancers are more versatile, IMO. She is SUCH an inspiration though...I just adore her and even though the media has been rough on her, she is a terrific person with a great heart.

I thought things started going downhill for Jane a couple weeks ago when she and Tony did the jive dance. That's a dance much more suited to Sabrina. I was shocked when Sabrina got kicked off. She was my pick to win it all.

I wasn't a Sabrina fan, but she sure can dance! But I think that was part of the problem...she and Mel B (Scary Spice) both are dancers by profession, and that ticked off a lot of people. Also, a lot of people were bothered by ABC's 'not so hidden' agenda with her...she stars in the ABC Disney channel show, and they were milking that for all it's worth. So for that reason, I'm not surprised that she got voted out. My favorite dance couple is Mel and Max actually, but probably won't vote for her because of her having 'one up' on these other competitors and that just bugs me. I really like Helio, and Jennie. Jennie is greatly improved and she's really growing on me. I like Marie too, but the other dancers are in another class, IMO. That's one thing about Sabrina too, I really don't think she ever improved. She started strong, but really didn't listen to the advice the judges gave her, (if they did) each week. She seemed to lead Mark in every dance and really needed to work on grace, IMO. Where Jane only knew how to be graceful, it seemed to me that Sabrina only knew how to be the exact opposite. JMO.

Hey Rob...I just noticed you hit the 1000 mark! Congrats!
