What the........? The only people I've ever heard of are Newton, Osmond and Seymour. I guess that's what you get when you live under a rock.

 

[Diamondback]

Cuban used to own the Dallas Mavericks, real big name on the financial pages for a while.

(Also responsible for figuring out how to get satellite TV aboard a plane, putting heads together with DirecTV and Bombardier Gulfstream, but that's fftopic: )

Hear hear Rooster--I thought the same thing.

Then I thought "what is a Cheetah Girl and how do you become known as one?" Is Simone Simon involved?

 

[LolitaHaze]

I love the Spice Girls and will be cheering for Mel B... but I don't know if I will end up watching it in the end. As much as I love dance shows (I watch old eps of Soul Train all the time) especially So You Think You Can Dance, for some reason I can't bring myself to watch Dancing with the Stars. I blame Cheryl Burke. I don't fancy her much.

 

[carter]

Mark Cuban still owns the Dallas Mavericks. Are the producers mad at Kym Johnson? (my personal favorite)
Cheryl Burke (another personal favorite) with Wayne Newton?

Oh well..."Daddy don't you walk so fast."[huh]

Honestly, they're probably trying to stop Cheryl from winning 3 times in a row. Putting her with the "old guy" pretty much puts her out of the running. Which I'm sure the other dancers appreciate! Although I very much enjoy her too. She doesn't look as snooty as some of the other dancers.

 

[Paisley]

My money would be on Mayweather, the boxer. First, he's an athlete, and second, he's a guy. The amateur women dancers have it much harder in the competition because everybody looks at the woman and they are competing against professional women dancers.

And a record of 38-0 for Mayweather! He loves to win!

no 3peat

it wouldnt be 3 in a row.
She&Ian just lost the last time out to Apollo& Julianne.
I see juianne's brother is listed with JennyGarth.

Mayweather? Well he's dancing w/ Karina. She did well w/ Lopez and certainly had a long ungainly run w/ BillyRayCyrus. That mustve been a character builder...

 

[Paisley]

She was a better sport than I would have been.

Oops, forgot about the last one. Didn't get to watch it, so it escaped my mind. But my thought is still that they're trying to give the other professional girl dancers a chance to win.

This should be FUN. Choosing only one, unchosen, professional dancer per post:
What Dancer From 1925-1950 would each of today's DWTS professionals be played by?

Just for starters, I'll choose Vera Ellen to play Kym Johnson.

Let's try to start with only one post per FL member and see what we end up with
Who's next?

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (boxer) paired with Karina Smirnoff;

Wait, isn't he coming out of his five minute retirement and keeping the welter title to box Hatton? Why is he dancing on television? Will he re-retire?

Well, I suppose he can do both, but it seems odd.

 

[MrBern]

Did anyone watch last nite? The ladies debuted. Tonite the gentleman cut a rug.

I did see one interview where it was mentioned that Mayweather really does liek the sequined spandex costumes & would prefer to wear his own $3000 custom suits.

 

[Paisley]

Imagine that!

I missed the show last night. Thanks for the reminder--I'll catch it tonight.

 

[MrBern]

You should be able to view last nite's show on the network website

[Paisley]

Thank you for the link, but I'll get a nasty note if I watch it at work, and I no longer have internet access at home.

 

[MrBern]

Interesting, the second year in a row that a Model was the first to get booted.
Funny, her partner AlecMazo was the first to go last year as well.
BUT he won the first season...

Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough were rather impressive. Especially as he is not an entertainer.

Kinda painful to watch WayneNewton lumber around the dance floor.

Did Jenny Garth knock her partner over, or did he just blow it?
