Dancing With the Stars :: Season 5 Discussion

[dvdjunkie]

Jane Seymour really surprised me as to how good she was. She really looked like she belonged on the dance floor.

Jennie Garth was pretty good also, but I think that after we see the men tomorrow night we will know if it is Josie or my pick Mark Cuban to be the first to go.

The definitely do not want Cheryl to ever win again LOL ...

I like Cheryl, but I don't think you have any worries. I don't see Wayne winning this season.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

I wasn't necessarily saying I didn't want Cheryl to win ...

I had a typo ... "the" is supposed to be "they" ... as in the producers of the show ...

It seems like they don't ever want her to win again because they keep on pairing her with people she doesn't have chemistry with ...

You could sort of tell her and Ian weren't meshing last season ... and I don't think she has a shot at all this year with Wayne ...

Poor Cheryl ...

Thats ok typos happen, and I completely agree.

Ian and Cheryl just didn't work very well. Who knows Wayne may surprise us, but I feel that he will be the Jerry or George of this season.

How long is Drew going to be the co-host this season? I know Samantha just had her baby, but Drew as the co-host was odd tonight. Although as much as he does with the show maybe they should hire him full time.

This season should be pretty good. I haven't seen the men perform yet, but something tells me this might be a womens year. A lot of good "first" performances tonight.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

I have new clue how long Drew will be there ... but I miss Samantha LOL ...

Drew is actually going to host a DWtS spinoff series ... I posted about it on my blog a couple weeks back ... Here's the link ... http://papiinmiamifl.typepad.com/papiin ... th-th.html

So I guess this is practice for him ...

Out of all the men ... I am most looking forward to viewing Floyd and Helio ... I think both have the greatest chance at winning ... Particularly because they are gifted athletes ...

If they put the same amount of dedication into the ballroom ... as they do in their sports training ... They will go far ...

[DarthPrime]

Thanks for the information. That new show sounds interesting.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

A fantastic night two ...

I was totally surprised by Helio's performance ... as well as Albert's ... Helio was so smooth ... and Albert's performance was so fun!

I was disappointed that my favorite ... Floyd ... didn't do as well ... He was rough and a big choppy ... so I hope he sticks around until next week ... and he smooths out his act ...

I still think Josie will be leaving tomorrow ...

[mikemgmve]

I went to the night 1 taping, mostly because i'm a GYNORMOUS spice girls fan, and I love Melanie B.

Sabrina blew absolutely EVERYONE away and got the biggest, and longest standing ovation. I think Josie was the only one not to get a standing o. Mel B was definitely 2nd, and Jennie 3rd. I'd say Jane 4th, Marie 5th, and Josie last.

But I think that also has to do with them doing the foxtrot, and not something as fun and upbeat as the Cha Cha, but I'm still biased and want Melanie to go far!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Wow you went to a taping? That's so cool ... Where did you sit?

--->On to tonight ...

Wow ... what a fantastic second round! Marie dazzled in her Mambo ... Helio was practically perfect in his Quickstep ... Jane marveled the crowd with her Mambo ... Floyd rose to the challenge and excelled in his Quickstep ...

But not everyone sparkled ... Poor Wayne ... He just doesn't have the chops for this competition ... and Mark didn't impress me tonight ...

Honestly ... with a five-way tie at 21 ... It really is a toss up on who will leave tomorrow ...

But I think that one of the two stars at the bottom will leave tomorrow ... So will it be last week's bottom two-er Mark Cuban ... or the non-magnetic Wayne Newton?

My bet is on Mark leaving the ballroom tomorrow ...

[dvdjunkie]

What a great show tonight. Even Marie Osmond was surprised herself with how much the judges liked her performance. Helio Castroneves is going to go far in this competition, the judges really like him. Albert was impressive again, but I will have to agree that it is either Mr. Las Vegas Wayne Newton or spoiled rich kid Mark Cuban that will leave the show. I think that the competition is really close this year, and it will be really hard to get a clear picture on who will win until it comes down to the final four. 'Scarey' Spice girl Mel P really looked good tonight. She really makes it all look so easy.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

All I can say is wow ... I am stunned that Albert was the one eliminated tonight ...

[dvdjunkie]

What a shocker!!! I didn't all expect Albert to be gone tonight. His fan base must have not voted like they did the first week. I was so hoping that either Mark Cuban or Wayne Newton would get the boot tonight.

I think Albert looked really good on the dance floor, and he looked comfortable being out of his comfort zone. Too bad. Well, we can all look forward to next week and see what the 'glitzy boys' Mark and Wayne bring to the dance floor.

[DarthPrime]

I have a feeling that Wayne will be there for a few more weeks. i was actually surprised to see him in the bottom 2, even with the terrible performance Monday.

Albert shouldn't have went home this early. He did good Monday night.

What was shocking to me is that Mark completely avoided the bottom 2. I was sure that he would be gone this week.

Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough have officially become my favs on this season. I hope they go far in the competition.

Our cable hasn't been working well, but network TV comes in. So, I watched "Dancing with the Stars" last night- even though it was just the results show, I really liked it!

I'm glad that Sabrina stayed- even though I haven't seen everyone's performances, I'm totally biased.

And, Corbin Bleu was there- I was shocked when they had celebrities and other people commenting on the dancers, and Corbin put in his 2 cents-

[Anthony]

I have returned from my vacation and quickly raced to my DVR to catch up on weeks 1 & 2 of DwtS. I must say this is turning out to be a fantastic season!

My early favs are Sabrina & Mark and Helio & Julianne.

Not surprised at all about the models being the first 2 to go, as Rowlf the Dog said, they just don't have the fanbase. Although I'm a bit sad about Albert as he seemed to have great potential.

And am I the only one that actually prefers Drew Lachey as co-host over Samantha Harris?

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Wow ... what a night! Tonight they jumped and jived ... and the tango-ed!

Sabrina ... Melanie and Jane all scored 27! Jane's dance had to have been the most emotional ... and beautiful tango of the night ...

Jennie's tango was absolutely wonderful as well ... Floyd's jive was a lot of fun ...

Helio's performance did not impress the judges tonight ... and he slipped from being the leader of the pack ...

and Marie's tango was (as the judges said) a delicious mix of camp and seduction ...

In my opinion ... the weaker dancers are still Wayne and Mark ... One of them has to go this week!

[dvdjunkie]

I am in 100% total agreement with that Rowlf..................it has to be either Wayne or Mark, they seem to be the weakest of the dancers out there. I hope that Helio gets to stick around, because he is a very talented dancer is you can tell that he is really trying each week. Jane Seymour had me in tears of joy at her dance. And the judges really loved her also. This is only the third week, and wow! it is only going to get better!!!!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

YAY! WAYNE IS GONE!

[Anthony]

I'm surprised. Even though he couldn't dance, I thought that Wayne's fanbase would keep him around for a couple of more weeks.

I really wanted Mark to go. The guy can't dance and he looks really creepy looking.

[Daisy Duck]

I just moved back to the US, so this is the first season I've seen this show. It is so much fun! It makes me want to get some dancing shoes on and head to a ballroom! Sabrina and Helio are the strongest in my opinion. As much as I like Wayne Newton, it was definitely his time to go. He just wasn't up to the level of the other dancers and I don't think he ever really moved his hips enough. I was sad to see Albert go last week because he was so entertaining to watch, but I guess I shouldn''t complain as I haven't even voted yet...

Anyway, here's to a fun and exciting season!
