GERALDO!

He needs to do a dance themed on his "Al Capone's Vault" special. :lol

Honestly I don't really know anyone else. I recognize the gal who does the weather for Good Morning America, and and I at least know about Boys 2 Men, but not a fan.

What, no comedian? I guess Geraldo is supposed to be the comic relief?

[darcy]

lol @ Geraldo comment!

I know only those 2 as well; one thing's for sure, ~ there's no shortage of sports 'celebrities', including a female kickboxer(!).

I'm surprised the write-up says the male model is the first deaf celebrity to be on the show,,, Marlee Matlin was also deaf.
oh wait,, unless they are making the distinction that he is the first Male deaf celebrity,,

[darcy]

what did you and your wife think of Monday's dancing, FP?

{ I don't want to say anything yet, 'cause I know you two usually catch up on it a day or 2 after it's aired,, }

[FlyingPenguin]

DAYEM!!!! I can't believe Geraldo made fun of his Al Capone's Vault fiasco right out of the gate. Have to give him kudos for that. However, like Al Copone's vault, his dancing skills were non-existent



Len was sure cranky. I wonder if he just does that to boost ratings. I can't believe he was so cruel with his remarks towards Mischa Barton. Poor girl was nearly in tears. Yes it wasn't a great dance, but to accuse her of "walking through the whole dance" was an exaggeration. Geraldo actually DID walk through his whole dance, and he didn't get HIS ass chewed off.

Overall, the contestants are a lot more interesting than I though they would be. There's some gems in there. The deaf model was amazing, and he's definitely got the women's vote.

Wife is happy because she has the deaf model to look at. I'm happy because Edyta is back... although being teamed with Geraldo means she won't be there long. I could watch her just walk all day.

[darcy]

i was really surprised, too, by Len's critique of Misha; he could have been much less harsh and more constructive.

the deaf model was *amazing*!!,, and i have to say i was pleasantly surprised by Marla; and as for Ginger, well,,, i hope she lasts well into the season!

{ lol @ Edyta comment; ~ she is a beauty, that one ; but yep,, with Geraldo as her partner, i'm afraid she won't be around for long, also much to hubby's chagrin. }

[darcy]

have you caught up, FP?

{ in case you haven't, once you do, I think you will agree that the right celebrity was eliminated,, (!). }

[FlyingPenguin]

Yeah, no loss there except that Edyta goes with him.

[Losbot]

I'm just now looking at the cast list (I never watch the show).
I always wondered what happened to Kim Fields (from the show: The facts of Life) and Jodie Sweetin (from Full House).

[darcy]

Yeah, no loss there except that Edyta goes with him.

that was 2 weeks ago, FP!

well,, since it's on again tonight { Disney theme ), I reckon you'll find out anyway, who was eliminated last week, ~ it was Mischa, the one who showed no interest in dancing the other week.

[darcy]

{ Losbot, ~ you should give watching DWTS a try }

[darcy]

first 3 gone:, ~ Geraldo; Mischa, Marla.

i think this Monday, there's a partner switch; the pro that gets partnered with the deaf model will have a challenge, surely.,,,

[darcy]

are you and the missus still watching DWTS, FP? ~ haven't heard a peep out of you in weeks,, (!)

~~~~

May 2nd's episode was pretty darn good; ~ I'm liking that kickboxer girl more and more; I forget her name at the moment,,

[FlyingPenguin]

We lost the two weakest dancers, which is fair. No we're down to the cream of the crop.

Yeah I'm liking the MMA boxing girl too. The deaf model is still F-ing amazing, although he really did blow it last week. More than made up for it this week.

[darcy]

agreed!

Paige is her name!

i could do it before, but I can't figure out how to imbed vid now, but here is link to Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas dancing the Jive to "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner ~
