I really like all the Leslie walkers as I just like Leslie vids, period, but Mary Kay tops my list, too. I especially like her in one of the oldest ones I used to have filmed in Leslie's real living room (not 3-Mile Weight Loss) where the production values were really amateur and Leslie says something about having to get back to ironing.
I don't mind Leslie's forced banter with paid actors, though, it doesn't matter to me.

The WATP were my first DVD workout experience, so certainly my first Leslies.
I actually kept looking for the WATP crew in all the newer workouts for a while. Wait, where's Tara/Jody/Beth/Adrienne (couldn't remember her name then,either)/Randy/Deb. Then I got some old ones from Ross that had the grannies (pre-granny days) and a couple of other recognizable faces and realized, oh, this must be her "crew." The banter on WATP didn't bother me, either. It was just Adrienne, while looking happy to be there, was like the Sesame Street song, One of these things is not like the others. But I did like the game way she said the weighted balls were perfect for sculpting.

I always laugh when Adrienne says those little 2 pound balls are the perfect weight for sculpting. Yea, those arms are the result of 2 pound weights! I also believe her abs came from these walking workouts.
The other one that always gets me is when that brunette girl with the pony tail says that the weighted balls are so easy to hold. Maybe it's just me, but I find it much easier to hold a dumbbell and let my hand fall to its natural position than to keep my palm turned up while gripping a round object. |

I still have (and use!) the WATP series, so it doesn't really bother me. I just notice the difference between the scripted talking and the more natural chatter of some of the other series.
I like Carol, too. I'm glad someone brought her up. She seems both sweet and irreverent, one of my favorite personality combinations. LOL on "Adrienne the Buff".

Oh wait a minute -- I just remembered my favorite walker (or one of them), WENDY! Good ol' Wendy who whoos sometimes and is "just as spunky as ever!" (I always think, what the heck is THAT supposed to mean? )
I remember one workout where Leslie is trying to say which walker is the buffest and I can't remember who she picks but Wendy looks a little disappointed, and then Leslie remembers her and says "Wendy!" Wendy looks so pleased right then (and she was the buffest after all).

I've always been partial to Carol. She does actually tear up in one w/o when Leslie mentions how much weight she has lost. Leslie also mentions in one w/o that Carol likes busting a move. Not that she uses those terms, but she puts some mambos in or something and mentions that Carol likes them. I have a feeling Carol would appreciate more intricate choreography.
I too find Beth completely annoying, and often wondered if Adrienne really got that buff from walking with Leslie. LOL!
