Dancing With the Stars 3

I'm disappointed to not see Jonathan and Anna this time around... maybe they'll be back next season?
I suspect that the time committment to the show was taking a lot away from their own competitive dancing careers. It's not an easy schedule to do the show -- you basically are taking a two or three month break from your own training schedule to do it.
 
right! which is why it's extremely interesting that the #1 couple in rhythm both signed on. i know others who made it to the bitter end of the selection process, but ultimately turned it down for that reason.

Karina does latin. So why is it "extremely interesting that the #1 couple in rhythm both signed on" ?
 
DWTS Celebrities...

I heard a while ago that the Stars and Pros would start working together in August, in preparation for the show to start sometime in September. Do you have any more specific or up-to-date details than that?


The show airs on September 12th, I believe that the Pros went out to L.A. around the first weekend in August.

Did anyone catch the list of celebrities on Good Morning America this morning(8/14)?
 
I know the Dance Spectrum (the dance studio that Jonathan and Anna teach at) recently upped their teaching staff... so maybe they opted out to concentrate a little bit more on the studio this time around?

I understood as well that they would return for the 3rd season and that would be their last. Actually the spectrum's website says that they're returning for the 3rd season, guess not after all.

apparently their winning routine in the Aussie version featured her getting stuck on his zipper.
I've seen it. About a year ago and it used to be posted online on the Aussie Seven site but it appears to have been taken down.

Monaco won at the end of the regular season, but O'Hurley won a special dance-off competition.

nick+vivica might be an inspired matching... we'lls ee what kind of work ethic she has. i've heard rumblings of diva-dom.

i wonder how Edyta will make out... she's had it rough two seasons in a row.

and Jerry Springer! i love that! can't wait to see his samba. lol.
 
Exactly what I was thinking. :( If Emmett doesn't pick up the material fast enough (and decently), I think Cheryl might be this season's Ashly Delgrosso.
I doubt that Emmett will have the bad attitude of P - people felt sorry for Ashly more because she was stuck with a jerk than because she was stuck with a bad dancer.

I think they had to hang a handicap on Cheryl this season after her incredible success last season. But she and Emmett might surprise us.
