[mamboqueen]

Finally...a few hours later....

[DancePoet]

And ... it starts tonight! :raisebro:

[DancePoet]

And ... just in case folks who read this are unfamiliar, this seasons contestants are:

Tucker Carlson, Monique Coleman, Sara Evans, Willa Ford, Vivica A. Fox, Harry Hamlin, Joe Lawrence, Mario Lopez, Shanna Moakler, Emmitt Smith, Jerry Springer.

[tangotime]

pity the english audience do not get to see this ( or even know who they are ) -- Tucker carlson !!!

[chachachacat]

Didn't get to do live commentary. One gets the TV, the other gets the computer...
Oh, well.

I agree, same as everyone, Mario the best, Tucker the worst! Harry awful.
About those legwarmers... leave them in rehearsal!

SYTYCD was a breath of fresh air compared to this. I hate those stiff, egomanial, overgroomed male pros. No, you are not gods! Not even close.
Sometimes I hate the Competitive Ballroom World.:p
(formerly a part of it for too many years myself.)

West Coasters!!! What happened here??!!!

I don't know. I think that Harry could surprise us! I could see him and Jerry going at it and making this a whole lot of fun to watch! They are the two oldest performing, so I'm giving him a benefit of a doubt.

[alemana]

agree about the leg warmers as part of the 'costume.'

no. just: no.

[DancePoet]

Were there any other west coasters watching?

[Another Elizabeth]

I was watching, but not online.

[dancergal]

I watched the show too but my computer wasn't on. I was disappointed with the judges scoring. I thought they scored Joey Lawrence was too low because he was the first on. Except for his hip action, I thought he did really well for a beginner. Then the judges praised Jerry Springer and Vivica Fox way too much. I didn't think they were that great. They really nit-picked the stars that did a good job and glossed over the ones that did horrible. They were incredibly mean to Sara Evans. I thought she looked good enough to get a better score than that.

[alemana]

you know MQ, i think for next week we should go back to one thread. breaking it up means there are theoretically two discussions... doesn't make sense.

Agreed. The split thread idea seemed great in theory but didn't seem to work.

We can probably throw in a manual "SPOILERS FOR WEST COAST" warning or something like that as a courtesy to the Westies watching the show.

[waltzgirl]

I only got to see the second half live (had a lesson earlier and taped the show) and was online, but when I saw no one had started the west coast thread, I just followed along on the east coast thread, seeing what people had said after I saw each dance. For this show, it doesn't bother me to know in advance what other people thought.

[dancergal]

Yes, one thread would be nice. I usually don't read the posts until after the show is over anyway. I don't want to miss anything.

[mamboqueen]

Okay; one thread next week. West Coasters: don't read unless you don't care to have commentary and results prior to watching.

[twnkltoz]

Will we still have a live commentary if we do it on the other thread? I didn't do it last night but I really enjoyed that last year...

[alemana]

yeah.

[gusmahler]

West Coasters!!! What happened here??!!!
I watched, but along with the commentary from the East Coasters. Just by looking at what they are posting, you can avoid the spoilers but still comment on what you see.

One thread is a good idea.
