Dancing With the Stars

[Deleted]

Tucker Carlson will be the first one voted off. Mark my word.

He's the Kenny Mayne of the new season.

No doubt about that.

But what bothers me even more than the line-up is that Lisa Rinna is co-hosting. I might not even watch it this year because that stupid she-troll just. Won't. Go. Away.

[margojata]

Oh ugh.. I hate Lisa Rinna. I so wanted to like her - being over (cough) 40 myself. But she annoyed me to no end. How the hell is she going to be objective when one of the dancers is her husband, another her former partner. Blech.

And I must be really old - because except for Vivica, I don't even know who the other women are.

[celebrityfly]

I didn't watch either of the past seasons. But give me this batch of grade D stars and it makes me want to tune in. Joey Effing Lawrence & Mario Lopez? That's GOLD, it's the kind of television crack I crave babies.

The official Season 3 roster from ABC, which lists Samantha Harris as Tom Bergeron's co-host. She was sort of dim but wore pretty dresses and had long, shiny hair, so as long as she doesn't break out the jazz hands again, I'm all right with her. The press release lists the reason why all of the "stars" are "famous". Whoever came up with "singing sensation and self-professed 'bad girl of pop'" should really look into a career writing fiction:

Tucker Carlson (partnered with Elena Grinenko, a DwtS newbie)
Monique Coleman (Louis Van Amstel, who previously danced with Trista and Lisa Rinna)
Sara Evans (Tony Dovolani, Stacy Kiebler's former partner)
Willa Ford (Maxsim Chmerkovskiy, danced with Tia Carrere last season)
Vivica A. Fox (Nick Kosovich, previously partnered with Tatum O'Neal)
Harry Hamlin (Ashly Delgrosso, danced with Joe McIntyre and Master P)
Joe Lawrence (Edyta Sliwinska, formerly paired with Evander Holyfield and George Hamilton)
Mario Lopez (Karina Smirnoff, newbie)
Shanna Moakler (Jesse DeSoto, newbie)
Emmitt Smith (Cheryl Burke, who led Drew Lachey to victory last season)
Jerry Springer (Kym Johnson, another U.S. DwtS virgin)

Jerry Springer!?

Oh, it just keeps getting better. And Joey "WHOA!" Lawrence is going by Joe now? Dude, nobody is going to take you seriously anyway...give it up!

[lallybroch]

How many child stars came to fame with a diminutive nickname and manage to shed it successfully--Ron Howard? And had much more going for him than ole "Joe" ever will.

If the girl from High School Musical doesn't outright suck, she could be around for a long time unless the fangirls think the show seems too "old" and get bored because no one breaks out into song.

Which female contestant will wear the least? I think it will be a three-way tie between Vivica, Shanna Moakler and Willa Ford (whatever, you'll always be "Mandah" the Backstreet Boys' opening act to me).

[swanflake]

I wonder if Vivica has fixed her asymmetric breasts.

[Benni]

I know the Dancers more than I know the supposed **Stars**. And I like them better too. I'll be cheering for Edyta. I kinda of thought Louis was cute too and felt bad he was paired with Trista the first Season.

I can't freakin' wait to see Tucker Carlson try to dance! I hate that guy. His career crashing and burning is such sweet schadenfreude.

But have you ever seen Tucker cut a rug? (Scroll down.) It's delightful. heh.
