Totally hooked on the show!
I am completely and totally hooked on Dancing with the Stars! I love to watch ballroom dancing anyway, and it makes it fun to see non-dancers learn and perform a routine in such a short time. On a fitness related note, John O'Hurley (my favorite of the dancing stars) has lost 15 pounds since he started dancing just a few weeks ago! Wish I could do that.

Well can I let you into a secret well not much of one but this is based on a UK show and was huge (I loved it) I only watched the second series which ended last December my favourite couple can in second. More recently there was a spin off for amateur dancers and my favourite won here the shows are called Strictly Come Dancing and Strickly Dance Fever.
I am glad you are enjoying the show.

[Note: I've seen the first three episodes but not the fourth.]

And I completely agree about Kelly Monaco's skimpy outfits and popularity unfairly compensating for her inferior dance abilities. Like some have commented on the thread about Burr Leonard's DVD covers, youth sells, thinness sells, and sex sells. While I really enjoyed her comeback with the jive, it's frustrating that one of the weakest dancers seems to be doing disproportionately well in the competition just because of her image. Too bad we didn't start talking about this earlier-- I bet we could have helped to boost Rachel Hunter's standings! Poor thing seemed so underconfident about her popularity. I've never seen her kickboxing workout, but wouldn't there be a bunch of VFers who'd have been curious to watch her dance and who would have recognized her abilities? (That said, I must confess that I haven't enjoyed her dancing as much as the judges. I think she and her partner are just going through a bunch of poses, rather than truly *dancing*. She has extraordinary flexibility and the classical dancer's beautiful line, and I think the judges are being swayed by that-- maybe not too unlike the audience's being swayed by Kelly Monaco's body and soap-opera-come-hither facial expressions.) Abbe, come take dance lessons with us! I'm taking Argentine tango right now, and I'd like to go back to lindy and West Coast Swing soon.
