NEW 2008 Dancing With the Stars Discussion - Part 2


Here's your NEW place to discuss the new season. The official website for the show is located right here. I received comments that there were too many comments on the original post, so spread the word there's a new one!

Lacey and Derek did the best hip-hop!

Oh, wait, I have to rate the contestants?

Well, Cloris didn't dance and Susan was completely, totally lost. One of them must go!

monty924 said...

Susan also spent too much time looking at the other dancers feet... like whe was trying to keep time with them and not the music.

joy n said...

Lacey was really good!

meb said...

I hope it's not really the Vote For The Worst Dancer keeping Cloris in there. I just went to that site an there's not much there, but who knows. Why would they even give her 5's... she she be getting 1's if they don't have zero's to hold up.

Misty is the other foot injury...remember, we lost Maks because of it. Bummer!

Lacy got a little bit of news about how she could shed a few pounds..just like Cheryl did.

And I loved Marianne's comment about losing Toni because of Cloris. She's right and it needed to be said.

Later.

dla said...

Well, I sure do like this show, but this has not been a banner season. ;(

So many injuries, and so much crap with Cloris! A little bit goes a long long way, IMHO.

I agree that Cloris needed to be called out tonight, as this has gone too far. I actually feel a bit sorry for Corky... What can he do??

Did anyone else think that the judges were all over the board tonight?? I was laughing out loud. A bit of a train wreck. :)

Please please please make Cloris go home!!!

Anonymous said...

I just had to stop in and say.

I cannot stand Susan Lucci! She's such a fake person. I'm not sure she knows the difference between where Susan ends and Erica Kane starts and vice versa. Why isn't she gone yet?

Cloris has worn out her welcome and Carrie Ann hit the nail on the head when she said "Good dancers are leaving for that!"

Ok...I'm done now! :-)

RBennie said...

I agree that Cloris and Susan both need to go. As an All My Children disciple practically all my life, I love Susan Lucci, but she's no dancer. I think Carrie Ann should have addressed her remarks to the folks who are voting for Cloris. After all its not her fault she's still there. People need to stop voting for her! I was so glad to see Lance & Lacey do so great last night. Their dance deserved a 10 a lot more than Brooke & Derek's rather lame rhumba.

After I read that Louis and Maks both told Cheryl and Lacey they needed to lose weight at the begining of the season, my opinion of those two male dancers has gone down.

joy n said...

I agree with you, Orkmommy, about Le Lucci, and for the same reasons.

She and Cloris both need to go.

dla said...

Susan reminds me a bit of Jane Seymour. Both are beautiful mature women who just can't get down and dirty and dig into the dances if they are not a waltz or something 'soft'...

I was also really disappointed in the latest press that has Maks and Louis saying that Cheryl and Lacey are overweight... The boys need to shut up and worry about something that is their business, like staying in the competition. Oops, too late for both of them! :)

If Cloris goes tonight and Susan goes next week, we may have something to watch as the season winds down.

joy n said...

Hope you're right about your last sentence, Dia.

Reality TV World has a new article about Julianne Hough. It's a little more serious than first announced. (NOT life-threatening). A good article to read.

Terry is a Texan! said...

rbennie....me too sistah friend, I love AMC but Susan during that hip hop...well it stunk.
Cloris needs to go this week, and then Susan...the rest of them are doing amazing...it will be hard for me to choose who to vote for...right now I use abc.com, then my home phone then my cell...am I sick or what?

joy n said...

Well. at least the voters have it right so far. Lacey and Lance, and Cody are safe. He'll be dancing with Edyta for two weeks.

Those kids were great. I like Simon and Lucy's samba better than Craig and Samantha's cha cha cha.

joy n said...

Well, I liked Simon and Lucy best, anyway.

joy n said...

Warren and Kym are safe for another week.

monty924 said...

Susan and Cloris can leave in no particular order for me. I've been amused by Cloris all along but her time is up. I would really hate to see an upset at this point in the competition. Also happy to hear Julianne is doing well tonight.

joy n said...

Guess Flatley is more than a one-trick-pony. He taps pretty good too.

monty924 said...

Very cool!!!!!!

joy n said...

brook and Derek, Maurice and Cheryl safe.

monty924 said...

No surprise there. Cloris and Susan are the bottom two. We'll find out after the break.

joy n said...

Cloris and Corky or Susan and Tony?

I agree, either at this point.

joy n said...

Bye bye, Cloris!

joy n said...

Finally! Even though she says she's not leaving.

joy n said...

Susan should be next.

monty924 said...

I'm a little sad she's gone. It looks like all the other dancers loved her, but it was time. Goodbye dear funny Cloris.

joy n said...

Somehow, I doubt we've heard the last of her this season. Now we can appreciate her sense of humor a little more.

dla said...

Well, now I hope to be amused by Cloris on the sidelines vs. annoyed by the distraction to actual dancing... I wish her well.

La Lucci goes next week, and then we have a competition!

RBennie said...

Bye Cloris. You were funny for a while, but it was past time for you to go. I hope Corky will be given a chance to come back next season with a more competitive partner. Susan's been bottom 2 for a couple of weeks now, so barring one of the other couples having a disasterous week, she should be out next week. Oh, I just thought of something though - what if Susan inherits Cloris' votes? I liked Craig & Samantha the best, glad they won.

joy n said...

Lacey Schwimmer now says that she is in the early stages of endometriosis. She overheard Julianne discussing her symptoms and realized she'd had the same ones for a few years. She saw Julianne's doctor and was diagnosed.

Dolls and pins, I say!

joy n said...

Warren a bit off tonight.

Lucci's in a bad mood this evening. They (judges) still give her far too much credit.

joy n said...

Cheryl lost another earring. Maurice did VERY well tonight.

Cody seemed a little stiff dancing with Edyta and the scores reflect it. It's sort of unfair that he has to learn to dance with a new partner.

Anonymous said...

Everyone HAS to vote for Cody tonight. I thought he did a wonderful job and thought the judges were a bit harsh (except Carrie Ann) on someone who had to start with a new partner.

Frankly, I thought he was much better than Susan.

Nana, guess you are going to ask again for a Part 3.

Anonymous said...

Joy, are we the only ones watching tonight or the only ones posting.

BTW I agree with you in that the judges were far too lenient on Susan.

Len just doesn't like Lacey and Lance, does he?

joy n said...

An excellent barefoot rumba for Lance and Lacey. CarrieAnn and Bruno loved it, Carrie saying it was their best dance so far. Len of course didn't like it much and complained of the no-shoes thing. What else is new? Why does he seem to dislike them so much?

Unknown said...

How many children does Brooke have? Her body is incredible - sigh - I'll blame it on good genes!

It will be interesting when we get down to final three, because I don't think Brooke would have the fanbase that Lance or Warren would have. Or, heaven help us, la Lucci.

joy n said...

Brooke and Derek were great! Great scores!

Guess we're here all by our lonesome, Becky!

joy n said...

Ah, Clementine is here, too.

wv is slygel. Wonder what that is.

Anonymous said...

Brooke has 4 children, the youngest being under 1 yr.!! Her body is incredible. Clem--I agree about good genes. Nobody really looks that good...do they?

So what's everyone's local schedule for tomorrow night with the election results? Locally, I think we will just have a ticker running across the bottom of the screen.

joy n said...

Three couples dancing: Cody, Susan and Lance. Susan is just not very good at this. Cody was good. Lance and Lacey outshone the others in this cha-cha. Len actually said they saved the day.

Unknown said...

I think it's great to see them dance next to each other. L/L are definitely a class above the other two. Susan has no natural sense of the music. (Can you tell I want her to go?)

From Tony's facial reaction to Carrie's comments, I think he was the choreographer, lol! I think they have a history of not liking each other.

The next group should be interesting. Warren is twice the size of everybody else :)

Nana, I'm hoping for a ticker tomorrow, and not constant interruptions!

joy n said...

Nana, all our local stations are planning full coverage. Boring! Glad we have cable. I only want to know the final results.

Plan to go vote after I pick up my husband at Park n' Ride at 4:30. Hoping we make history here and I'm not talking a female veep. Still wish it had been Hillary.

Sorry, Anybody but.....

joy n said...

Brooke, Warren, Maurice and their partners up now.

Warren and Maurice were pretty good but I loved Brooke and Derek.

I admit to some bias here. I love Brooke's and Derek's dancing. They did much better as a group.

Unknown said...

Whoa! Team Paso kicked Team Cha-Cha's butt! Brooke did hold her own with the two pro ladies.

That probably hurts L/L's overall placement, since their group got 9 points less.

Unknown said...

Oh, results show on Wednesday this week!

Unknown said...

G-night, ladies! I'm off to dream of Maks (hope he's back next season) :)))

joy n said...

Good nite all.

Terry is a Texan! said...

I think you are right....Susan must go...sad to say....she really is out of her league now...she dissapointed in the group dance, she watches instead of doing her thing.
Glad I sent my vote in, its cold and chilly here this am...
I have a raging cough and cold and it was my birthday yesterday on top of it!

joy n said...

Terryinca, a belated Happy Birthday to you! What a stinking way to celebrate it though. With a cough and a miserable cold! Hope it passes quickly.

Just read that Julianne will be taking another week off on doctor's orders. Her doctor says that because of the rigors of dancing, she needs another week of rest. Wonder if Cody will survive?

Anonymous said...

I hope Cody can survive THIS week!! What a shame it would be if he left and Susan Lucci was still there.

It was a good thing Lucci was captain of Team Cha...she would have been the last one picked otherwise. I thought she did a horrible job on the team dance...watching her feet(a big No-No in dance), timing was off, and couldn't keep up with the others.

Brooke looks like she has been losing weight. I'm sure the rigors of dancing and keeping up with 4 kids is taking a toll on her body.

Interesting that Julieanne will be gone another week. She is doing the red carpet show for the CMA next Wed.(12th).

Team Paso was awesome! They were so precise. Brooke looked as good as to pros.

Now we wait until Wed. for results.....

joy n said...

Nana, I think the doctors just feel the dancing rehearsals are too rigorous for her body post op.

Maybe they told her to walk s-l-o-w-l-y down the carpet. LOL

joy n said...

Lionel Richey on tomorrow's elimination show. LOVE his love songs!

wv is scant

RBennie said...

I was so wrapped up in the election, I completely forgot to comment on DWTS. I was really annoyed that Lance & Lacey had to be in a group with Susan. She totally ruined that group dance! I did agree with Len's comment though that the cha cha is much harder to do in synch than the paso. I seriously hope this group thing was a one shot deal.

joy n said...

A one shot deal or they need to change the voting process. It's totally unfair to penalize the whole group for one particularly rotten apple. I kind of like the group dancing but feel each individual team should have an equal shot in the scoring.

RBennie said...

I agree Joyn, I wouldn't mind another group dance, but they would have to rate the couples individually. No way did Lance & Lacey deserve a 20 for what they did in that cha cha and although I don't think Cody & Edyta did all that great, they too were better than a 20.

joy n said...

I'm worried that it's too easy for the results to be manipulated this way. Who chooses which teams are in which groups? The judges?

If there is a bias against a particular celebrity, that person could weekly be put in whatever group Susan or another inferior dancer might be in only to guarantee that said celeb's scores were consistently lower.

I worry about that because the judges have been pretty consistent in giving Susan higher than deserved scores this season.


That ABC soap actress from the first season of DWTS won with a bunch of undeserved 10's. Now we have another (more) popular ABC soap star, whom the judge's seem to be cramming down our throats.

I know it sounds far-fetched, but could this group dance thing be a ruse to give the better dancers lower scores?

I'm such a cynic.

Terry is a Texan! said...

joy n
thank you
and you are not a cynic...abc might be calling some shots for sure..I think that flying back and forth and practicing cant be easy...Cameron did it but he is young and in great shape.
you are thinking Kelly Monaco from General Hospital won the first year, then they had a dance off and gave it to the runner up...gray headed smiling guy cant recall his name..

Unknown said...

This feels like the longest season ever. Anyone else wishing for a surprise double-elimination? Sure, it's never been done before, that's what makes it a great idea! Yes? Anybody? Sigh.

joy n said...

Yes, he was on Seinfeld and is now doing Family Fued, I think.

Maurice and Cheryl are safe.

joy n said...

Feud, that is.

Unknown said...

I love "Dance Center"! I especially love Kenny and Jerry Rice wearing sparkly glitter :)

Anonymous said...

joyn--to answer your question about who decides the teams....Warren and Susan were named captains and took turns picking their team. I'll pick it went like this:
Warren--Brooke
Susan--Lance
Warren--Maurice
Susan--Cody

I really hope this team dance was a one time thing!

I'll bet the bottom 2 are Susan and Cody. The team scores really brought Cody down. Let's hope all the "tweeners" have been texting their votes!

Becky--I will ask again about a new post....maybe if a few of us ask Jackie will do it.

joy n said...

That was quite the dance lesson between Kenny and Len.

Brooke and Derek safe. Great!

Warren and Kym safe.

Lance and Lacey better be safe and I sure hope that Cody and Edyta are.

Susan needs to go.

Unknown said...

Yikes! What did Maks do to his beautiful hair? He has a "fade"! Oh, well, he's still hot!

joy n said...

Thanks nana, I saw that. Guess maybe I am a cynic. I still think they should judge each team individually to be fair.

joy n said...

Maks would be hot bald! Well, maybe the fade is far enough.

Anonymous said...

i totally agree about the judging. I hate that they are judged on the performance of others.

I'll bet in professional competition they are not put on "teams" and then judged!

joy n said...

Safe: Lance and Lacey

Cody and Edyta

YES! Tony and Susan are done!

joy n said...

Now we get down to the nitty-gritty.

Afraid Cody or Maurice may be next.

Anonymous said...

GOOD!!! Now we have a real competition!

Unknown said...

Cody will probably go next week, without Julianne to bring in more votes for him.

Yes, Joy, I wouldn't kick Maks outta bed for a bad haircut. Hee.

Ohh, my wv is priesti. Maybe it's a sign that I should clean up my gutter mind!

Nah.

joy n said...

Us DOLs have to stick together!

RBennie said...

Susan's gone. Now we have a competition. I think Cody and Maurice will be in danger next week if they don't step it up. I think the final three will and should be Brooke, Lance & Warren. I'm so upset. I was trying to watch ANTM and DWTS at the same time and I totally missed Maks! You Tube here I come, LOL.

meb said...

Loved Lionel Richie's songs. He is so good. Glad Susan is gone. She was very gracious, but definitely time to go.

I feel bad for Corey, cause he just hasn't gotten the feel for Edyta (ok girls, I know what you're thinking). But of those left, he's probably the logical one to go next, even tho I think he does pretty good for his age.

Oh, and his name is John O'Hurley. I cannot stand him...he's a pompous jerk.

Anonymous said...

Happy belated birthday, TerryinCA! Thank goodness Cody was safe. I think the judges were too harsh on him since he has a new partner.
