Dancing with the Stars: Season 5 OFFICAL THREAD!!! STARS ANNOUNCED!

[Donna]

I'm sad.

I knew it was coming, everyone just loves his smile. Don't get me wrong, I think Helio's a nice guy and all, he just wasn't the best dancer, or even close to it. Poor Mel and Maks, they looked really disappointed. I don't blame them. Too bad they aren't going on the tour, them I would pay to see!

*sigh* America gets it wrong again.

P.S. What in the world was Carrie Ann wearing????

I thought they mentioned last night they WERE going on the tour? has this changed?

 

[DisHornFan]

I don't think they are. This tour directly coincides with the Spice Girls tour and they aren't listed on the website. But hey if I'm wrong then that's great!!

yeah i didn't really know who to believe, either. i only half paid attention to the news, i might go check out TMZ tho to see what they're saying.

They claim marie has a writter on set at all times feeding her answers to questions , always right off the stage, I dont know if its true or not but can cetainly see how it could be true.

This show has helped many a dead career or stalled career into a healthy revived career, alot of stars want IN. Just look at donny getting the et gig out of all of this. All of a sudden the mug is right back in the limelight again, along with job offers. I would not blaime her a bit and like another poster stated, you dont get to where the osmands did not being savy.

I just watched the show this morning. I just didn't care enough about it to stay up until 11:00pm, plus House was picking his new staff. I'm glad Helio won, even though I wouldn't have had a problem with Mel winning. I bet next season they give Julianne some old fart if she does the show. I'll probably watch the Carrie Ann and Bruno show, even though it may be lame.

I can't imagine any writer worth his salt would feed Marie some of the lines she used.....

 

[TiggerPiglet]

Aren't all of the writers on strike

 

[Alice28]

And where did Marie go after her dance? She wasn't sitting out there next to Jennie, was she? And I could be totally wrong, but did she come out at the end to congratulate Helio/Julianne??

I'm still feeling bummed out for Mel and Maks, yet I'm not disappointed Helio won it. If that makes any sense. I liked them both, but I just felt a pull for Mel- her dances really were beautiful/energizing (most of them anyway) & I can't imagine how exhausted she must be with all the Spice Girls stuff/DWTS AND a 7 month old baby. And I think she has an 8 year old as well.

Very good point, but im sure there are writters out there that dont really work anymore and are retired or just not in the union as well. I dont know if its true or not, either way she accomplished her goal, shes a household name once again.

 

[TiggerPiglet]

, either way she accomplished her goal, shes a household name once again.

That's for sure. I heard on some news show that she may get her own show now.

 

[Robinrs]

Yes, Mel really should have won. But, the main audience of the show is still women. Most women still tend to vote for the cute guy.

Ain't THAT the truth....

All the guys I know DROOLING over Mel B would rather die than vote for a dancing contest.

and WHERE'S the cute guy? Helio reminds me of Horschack from Welcome Back Kotter! Cute? No. Adorable maybe but ugh....

And I am sick sick sick of Julianne!!! Sicker than other people were of Cheryl! NEXT!!!!!!

The writers are on strike but the spin doctors and PR people are NOT.

Julianne and Cheryl are my favorite. I would love to see Helio dump his unsmiling fiance and run off with Julianne!

 

[Robinrs]

Cheryl will always be my favorite. I can't see Julianne running off with him or any other old man, though, to me she looks like an embryo! Great dancer, though but NEXT!!!

 

[palmtreegirl]

Julianne and Cheryl are my favorite. I would love to see Helio dump his unsmiling fiancee and run off with Julianne!

According to TMZ, Helio and his fiance are no longer together. They say her camp is claiming she called off the wedding and they haven't spoken in weeks.

At least now we know why she was not smiling!

Did anyone watch GMA this am? I kind of got the impression that Mel B. was kind of a sore looser. I always liked her personality but this am she was really annoying to me. I do think she has a "hair across her ear" about loosing to Helio.

Marie was out there at the end of the show, they only showed her for a few seconds. Maybe none of you watched the Donny and Marie talk show a few years back, I did and Marie really was the same then. I don't think she needs writers. I don't see how anyone who saw her faint could think it was faked. She's not that good an actress.

IMO TMZ is no more reliable than the National Enquirer.

I find it strange that the judges told Helio that he was flat footed but still scored him higher than Mel, who was a better dancer. It would have been nice to see a woman win. I think the judges were pissed that Sabrina was voted off and I think the way they scored some of the contestents was a reflection of that.

I am not a race fan, so I don't get it, what is the deal with the milk???

When a racer wins the Indy 500 he then drinks a big cup a milk.

From wikipedia-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_500

A long-standing tradition of the Indianapolis 500 is for the victor to drink a bottle of milk immediately after the race. This practice first began in 1936 after Victor Louis Meyer asked for a glass of buttermilk, something his mother had encouraged him to drink on hot days. Afterward it became a ritual as milk companies became sponsors of the race purse and handed a bottle of milk to the winner to promote their product. A sponsorship of currently $10,000 now paid out by the American Dairy Association if the winner swigs the milk in victory lane.

Guess it was an inside joke last night since Helio's won 2 Indy 500 races.
