Ron said...: Melissa Rycroft... yeah, she had an odd beginning on the bachelor which led right away to DWTS. She's kinda funny, so I have no problem with her on the show.; 11/26/12, 6:34 AM
Lauderdale Vet said...: Shawn Johnson, yes. My family rooted for her during the Olympics. Rycroft and Monaco were introduced, for me at least, in DWTS.

Rooting for Shawn again tonight :); 11/26/12, 6:36 AM
Paco Wové said...: Rooting for Shawn in the Olympics was the only thing that kept us Iowans going during the windswept, sun-baked, cultureless nights out on the sere prairie.; 11/26/12, 6:49 AM
Ron said...: Kelly Monaco is famous from Playboy.; 11/26/12, 6:56 AM
Known Unknown said...: The show should be called "Dancing with the Starved for Attention."; 11/26/12, 9:04 AM

fivewheels said...: Of the three, I've heard of the Olympic gold medalist. I don't think it's quite fair to sneer at her, accomplishment-wise. And a soap opera actress is on TV every day, right? That's a fair amount of celebrity.

I don't think a TV writer for a minor newspaper should be calling any Olympic gold medalist a "nobody."; 11/26/12, 10:40 AM
