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

[KrnB]

Hmm.... I just read an article about Jane Seymour on how she stays looking so young. (It was in People or TVGuide) She mentions that she got very small implants after she finished breastfeeding the boys; she also had surgery to remove bags around her eyes. She had botox once - didn't like it. She says she hired a trainer and started working out when she knew she was going to be on the show and lost 20 pounds then. Do you really think she has lost 20 more pounds? She mentions, in the article, that she is now trying to keep from losing any more (this was before she was voted off). I didn't think it looked like she had changed at all during the competition so I am more inclined to go with she lost it FOR the show.

She knew those itty-bitty outfits she's have to wear were coming, so I could see that... I know I'd certainly try to get in shape and lose some pounds if I were about to be in those little outfits in front of millions of people!

Don't forget, for anyone who is interested, Marie and the entire Osmond family will be on Oprah Friday!

Did anyone watch? I missed it and was wondering how it was.

Did anyone watch? I missed it and was wondering how it was.

I watched it and thought it was really great. Very touching - the majority of it was centered around Donny & Marie. They sang snippets of several songs. Their brothers sang with them. All of the families were introduced - A LOT OF PEOPLE!!!! Can't imagine what Christmas must be like at their houses!!

Marie had the beautiful "Oprah" doll made and presented it to Oprah as a thank you for having the Osmond family on the show. It was very adorable and Oprah was totally loving it. That was sweet.

Jonathan and Marie did their dance that was dedicated to her parents on DWTS - which was a nice tribute.

The whole show was really nice, and it was cool to see Tom and Virl again - the two older brothers who are deaf.

Definitely worth seeing when it is repeated sometime. I grew up watching Donny & Marie, and have always loved Marie. She's gone through some difficult times...and it was really nice to see them all together, supporting each other, and having this opportunity on Oprah to celebrate the life of their parents.

 

[DisHornFan]

Who watched tonight???

Thoughts??

I think Cameron should go home. Either him or Marie, but I think he was the worst tonight.

Carrie Ann giving Mel and Maks a 9 on their last dance was crap!

Helio and Julianne's second dance was great, but it was all Julianne. No way did they deserve a 30 based on his performace.

 

[marybet]

I think it should be Cameron too. I voted for Marie because I like her and I don't think she got the best choreographer. I think the judges were much harsher on this group than last season. I also think they are being more critical because they think some of the ones that are still there shouldn't be.

 

[tinabheart]

I want so badly for Marie to win...just because I've always loved her.

As far as talent - I think Cameron should probably go...

Loved Julianne and Helio - chemistry is awesome.

Really impressed with Jennie Garth and how much she has improved, but don't understand why teh judges are just literally MEAN to her.

Mel B - well, I wish she would just go back to her full time job. If Marie would have had Max, I think she would be doing a lot better. Jonathan is ok, but I don't think he is as creative as some of the others...

I hope that Marie goes next ... because I have always disliked her. Probably because she always seemed like "Donnie's Little Sister" even though we are the same age. In addition, I think she is playing the "It's for my dead father " card a little too strongly. Don't vote because I'm better ... vote because my dad just died .

I don't agree with you about Marie and Maks. It's clear to me that Marie has been pushing away a lot of the more sexual moves that Jonathan has been trying to get her to do. For goodness sakes! She needed his wife's OK to dance with him this week?!? I know that a lot of that stuff is staged (like Jennie really adores Richard Simmons. Right.) but I think there is a lot of truth in it. I have seen her pull back from anything that crosses the "legal limit" for her. MMMMmmMaks would be far too sexy for her and he would end up too frustrated by her limits. Mel is more up his alley. She is willing and able to be as sexy as the choreography needs her to be.

As for Jeannie, I thought she looked great (I LOVED her green dress) but I didn't think she danced that well. I thought that Cameron did the worst tonight, although I could see that he tried.

Helio was *great*. He is my second favorite after Mel. He has such an infectious smile and I thought his dancing was pretty hot too. Does anyone else think there is something going on between he and Julianne? I read that they both postponed their weddings in the last 3 months. Hmmmm.....

 

[DisHornFan]

Hmmm interesting.... I never considered that the problem was in the choreography. I don't think that Marie could have been paired with Maks though. He's too demanding and blunt, she seems too sensitive for him. He needs someone that he can yell at and constantly push, but also someone who can give it right back to him (i.e. Laila last season, and now Mel B). I think they did a good job at pairing people up, Jonathan just may not be the best choreographer.

What was that move when Marie was like...on the steps and sticking out her rear for like...5 seconds? I didn't get that at all. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?? I thought it was super awkward.

And I do think Helio and Julianne have great chemistry, but I doubt anything's going on. She and Apolo were the same way, actually I think they had even more chemistry and nothing happened there (that we know of ).

That Marie thing was really awkward and looked silly! I was thinking "Don't let go!!"

I thought Helio's second dance was really good! I liked Len's comment about him looking like a dancing banana!!!

 

[Camicar]

I think Marie is a great entertainer, but only a middlin' dancer -- her charisma has, IMO, carried her this far. I agree with the judges that Jonathan needs to make those dances harder -- her dances have NO where near the difficulty that the others do. I think that if he doesn't ratchet up the choreography, the judges should start deducting a point.

I think Cameron is a good dancer, not great, but quite good. I thought his waltz was lovely and infinitely better than anything Marie did last night. However, Edyta really failed at choreographing that chacha last night -- we didn't even realize it was supposed to be a chacha until one of the judges referred to it. And as much as I love Edyta and I'm no prude, I wish she'd wear more clothes -- it's actually distracting wondering how her clothes stay up and how much that bikini wax must have hurt.

Jennie is starting to irritate me. Forget a dance coach or Richard Simmons -- she needs to get a therapist and work on her self esteem issues. I wonder how she ever made it as an actress with such a thin skin.

I haven't like Helio before, but his fast dance with Julianne's great choreography was fantastic last night. Mel and Maks are always a treat to watch and I was thinking just what Tom said -- that it's nice to see Max so obviously enjoying himself with a partner. They are a good team.

And what is the obvious joke with Mel pinching Tom's butt every Monday night?

 

[Liz]

Not speaking of any other weeks, but don't you think its likely Jonathan made Marie's dances last night a little easier likely due to very little time to practice this past week?

My friend and I were wondering (as we have never watched the show before this season) who Jonathan has danced with in the past?

Thanks!

 

[RichNKatHolly]

Anyone see the closeups of that kiss Helio planted on his partner last night??!! I don't know - she seemed very shocked and it didn't seem like she was supposed to land on the floor like that. Great dance, but very odd ending.

The show is very good this season!!

 

[Camicar]

I think Jonathan was with Heather Mills last year. Maybe his recompsense for being with her was getting the very nice Marie? [/snark]

Yes, Julianne did looked shocked at the kiss. It was very funny!

 

[emmabelle]

I thought Jennie, Marie and Cameron were the weakest last night. I'm hoping for a Mel and Helio finale, I think they have the most talent. I just hope Marie doesn't win it all because she really isn't the best dancer of the bunch. I'm glad that Bruno called Marie and Jonathon on the fact that their dance was a little too reminicent of Sara Evan's jive last season. I'm just starting to get turned off by Marie trying to be funny all the time, it grates on my nerves.

 

[shoes99]

I liked the show. Helio has always been my favorite... The kiss looked silly and Julianne looked surprised. I think he was just happy that he completed that routine. Go Helio.

 

[cteddiesgirl]

I hope that Marie goes next ... because I have always disliked her. Probably because she always seemed like "Donnie's Little Sister" even though we are the same age. In addition, I think she is playing the "It's for my dead father " card a little too strongly. Don't vote because I'm better ... vote because my dad just died .

I don't agree with you about Marie and Maks. It's clear to me that Marie has been pushing away a lot of the more sexual moves that Jonathan has been trying to get her to do. For goodness sakes! She needed his wife's OK to dance with him this week?!? I know that a lot of that stuff is staged (like Jennie really adores Richard Simmons. Right.) but I think there is a lot of truth in it. I have seen her pull back from anything that crosses the "legal limit" for her. MMMMmmMaks would be far too sexy for her and he would end up too frustrated by her limits. Mel is more up his alley. She is willing and able to be as sexy as the choreography needs her to be.

I'm with you on Marie. I like her as a personality, but as a dancer, I don't think she could cut it with the best.
And I think the best dancer should win.

I don't think anything is going on between Helio and Julianne. She was supposed to get married the beginning of August. She was probably having doubts about getting married. She is Morman and they believe that getting married is an eternal thing. Once married, they are supposedly bound together as husband and wife for all eternity. I also believe that getting a divorce will result in ex-communication from the church and family members.
How can anyone not have doubts about getting married? Especially if this is what you believe?

My faves are Mel follwed by Helio. Jennie and Cameron are pretty much tied for me. Marie really should have been out of there before now.

 

[DeterminedOne]

I was surprised to learn that Mel is married. Doesn't she have an infant baby with Eddie Murphy?

I agree!!!!!!! I agree, I agree, I agree. Well, I don't see the sparks between Julianne and Helio, but I agree with everything else.

Mel B & helio should DEFINITELY be in the final 2, no doubt about it. Mel B and Maks are just awesome.

I agree with you 100%. Cha Cha is one of the dances I've been learning at my ballroom studio and there was so little cha cha moves in it. And trust me, there are so many visually appealing steps that are easy, it would have benefited Cameron if Edyta had made better choices with the choreography.

I've loved Mel and Helio from the beginning and hope to see the two of them in the finale!

 

[Evil Genius]

I was surprised to learn that Mel is married. Doesn't she have an infant baby with Eddie Murphy?

Yes she does. I believe she is only married for a few months now.
