Chas - I’ll check to see if the spam stuff is eating comments. Patrick said the same thing awhile back.

Well it might be possible that it’s not a popularity contest, but at the moment it looks that way! Shandi and Paulina right now. Not the most well known women on the show at this point. So next week will be intereting. Will it be Leesa (my wife wants her gone!)

Crap! I know I left a comment on this topic a few days ago!! Anyway, I think I said something like…I don’t think it’s all about popularity. Look at the winner of the first season…Kelly Monaco…most people had no idea who she was (she’s on General Hospital), but she was the underdog (she sucked at first), so she got lots of votes. And last season Vivica Fox and Harry Hamlin, two people who are actually STARS, didn’t really make it that far. I don’t know, I think it has a lot to do with the personality they show on the show, not how popular of a star they are. It seems like if they show a lot of personality in their preparation videos each week; if they come off as funny, humble, etc…then they usually stick around a while. Emmitt Smith and Mario Lopez were the final two last season and they were AWESOME. Plus, Joey Lawrence was third and we he was great too.

I haven’t seen the previous shows so I’m not sure about the other people, but this one so far is a popularity contest. It might change this week however. we’re recording tonight as we just got done learning the double swing…which I suck at!

Learning with your sister in law might not be a bad thing. I know where we dance they encourage us to dance with other people!

I’m with you on the popularity contest. I think Ali’s Daughter could probably win because she’s pretty good. But I think you’re right on with Joey Fatone. Drew Lache won for the same reason so I guess they’ve figured out what makes people watch and it has nothing to do with talent. I really think that Jerry Rice had enough votes to win but the network knew the show would have zero credibility if he did. Emmit Smith was actually pretty good so he might have truly been the winner of his show, but in short I’m with you on this one.

My sister-in-law wants to start taking swing lessons and my brother-in-law won’t go so I might convince her to start taking them with me once they move home.
