DWTS 6

[linmiste]

ET said they'd have a clip of Julianne and Adam on Tuesday, March 4. The show airs at 7:30 EST. They had Marlee on tonight. Her partner seems like a really great guy.

Great pics, thanks sk8on. I really like Monica's. I'm excited to watch her dance.
I'm not feeling Julianne's hair. It's gorgeous, but I like it better medium length.

Thanks Sk8ton! I can't wait to see Priscilla.

And will Julianne win again?

Thanks for those pics, Sk8on! Some great looking couples there. This season may turn out to be better than I originally thought. I only wish that Julianne had been paired with Mario.

Thanks for those pics, sk8on! I thought Shannon Elizabeth had the most genuine smile... like she's really having fun.

Here's a link to ET's bit on Julianne and Adam (which airs tonight). He's definitely been more a challenge for her to train, but it doesn't look hopeless. I hope.

I think it may be safe to say that no, she will not 3-peat this season. Julianne has described Adam as clumsy and uncoordinated, and Adam himself has said that he does not have 6+ hours a day to devote to training for the show. Plus Adam has a pretty polarizing personality--there are those who may vote for him simply because they like his radio show or enjoyed him on 'Loveline' and 'The Man Show' or just generally think he is funny (plus Julianne has a substantial enough fanbase of her own), but there are others who are put off by the racist, sexist, crude tone that have colored several of his remarks in the past. I belong to the latter group, but I also know that he can be very funny in a non-obnoxious and offensive way at times--he just needs to tone down his schtick. One of the things I have enjoyed about him so far is his brief "conversation" with Ann Coulter on his radio show...sorry if anyone here likes her, but I wish I could vote her off the island.

I agree! I'm one of those people that say, let somebody else have it. Not that I don't think Julianne is amazing dancer but somebody else needs an opportunity. Like when Cheryl won, what three times? I felt she needed to let somebody else win. And that's when they gave her the bad dancers/celebs. That's jmho.

And I think Iverson needs a crack at dancing!

AI...hhhmmmm...why not. Ha!

ITA. If I vote for Adam and Julianne, it will be for her, not him. When I watched the ET piece, it was mostly to see how he treated her, and I didn't see anything inappropriate. I'd love to see Julianne stay more than a week, but my conscience won't let me vote for them if I really think Adam is the worst dancer.

I agree with Jenna. I know it's supposed to be about the celebrity, but the pros are involved too, and time for a different one to have a chance. Besides, I think it's time for a lady celeb to take home that wretched trophy and unless they get real creative with the pairings, Julianne can't dance a lady to victory.

... then again, that might raise the male viewership considerably. The ratings would rival the Superbowl on Rumba night.

Regarding Julianne and Adam, I saw the clip on ET, and I think she's going to be ok. My main concern was that he would steamroll her with his excessive... self, but she's a tough little cookie and seems to be holding her own. Julianne is a natural with the public and he's just another little piece of public to deal with. She hit the jackpot with her first DWTS partner, didn't do bad at all with the second and I think she'll hang tough with this one. Win? Unless his personality does a complete 180 or he channels Fred Astaire, I'd say not likely. I suggest she save her creative energy for the "farewell, it's been wonderful" speech because that's where she'll need it most.

Too funny sk8on. I don't like most of his schtick, but that interview was hilarious. Can you imagine? Calling in 1 1/2 late and then telling the interviewer that you're pressed for time?

I would have told her off too! But then again, I think Ann Coulter is a spoiled little princess who annoys the snot out of me anyway.

Insightful and amusing, as always August, with just the right touch of sarcasm. Love It!

Several of my classmates were 100% deaf, and even if they were alone on the stage - without anyone else to cue from - they kept in perfect rhythm with the songs by feeling the bass vibrations. I suspect Marlee will do quite well in that respect, too.

Two of my friends have sisters that are deaf. Savannah's sister is into dance, and uses the vibrations of the bass to get the rhythm of the music.

The piece on Marlee from ET said that Fabian taps the floor harder, and they place the speakers on the floor so she can feel the beat.

My little one year old cousin Lexi is deaf. We are all learning sign to be able to communicate with her. I am learning ASL and exact sign language. She will be getting the cochlear implants in two weeks, but there is still a chance that they won't work. We are praying that everything goes well during her surgery.

I would vote for him! I would even beg my mom to get me tickets to the show! How I am going to get there, I don't know?! With all my college classes..

I'm sure the men would like it!

I'm sure she won't surpass the second week but that's just my opinion. by the picture of them he looks rather stiff to me. AND I love her hair! I miss my long hair!
