I definitely agree with your "fake innocent" assessment of Mario, yuck! And I can't stand Springer's politics, but he is entertaining.
Wonder if they'll let Willa come back now that Sara had to bow out?
Guess I'll root for Emmitt by default. I really like Cheryl with those extensions in her hair. Hubba Hubba!
You're right - I had forgotten about Cheryl. She's a little doll, so enthusiastic. She was so good with Lachey last year - and they were so evenly matched as partners, size-wise. I felt sorry for his PG wife having to watch them, lol.
Oh yeah, Tony was with Stacy last year. Va-va-voom. She was taller than he was, but they made it work. I saw her the other day for the first time since Dancing, in a commercial with George Hamilton about "toasted" somethings. He was doing Greek dancing, a la Zorba - well, a double was doing it.
I'm sure Willa and Maks would be more than willing to come back, lol. Still haven't figured out what "pop star" means as her job title. No further comment.
Joey keeps messing up his chances, when he's really fairly good, but seems to have quite an ego. Edyta just doesn't seem to be having as much fun as when she had the "hardship case," George Hamilton.
"...Sara and Tony were my rooting interest this year..."
I was pulling for her, too. And for Emmitt Smiith, (being a Dallas Cowboys fan, ya see).
Last week when she danced and her heels caught her dress a couple of times, she looked awfull. Not for the dancing, but her face was telling a story that we are now hearing about. From what I gather, this is a recent thing with her soon-to-be-ex-husband. It looked as though Sara was about to break down. If her porn loving hubby has been verbally abusing her recently, that night when the judges laid some heavy critisism on her must have been tough to deal with, along with the behind the scenes events. And you notice that he was never shown in the audience. Very telling. I hate she's dropping out because she had a good night Tuesday. But it's understandable with the current situation. I wish her and her children well. This guy had one of the hottest ladies in country music and he through her away like used chewing gum.
And for what? I hope it was worth it for him. Her song "Cheating" will take on a whole new meaning. She'll probably drop it from her song list a while.
Can't believe there isn't a "Dancing With The Stars," thread. I thought I was the only one watching it!
