I won’t be watching, though I’ll keep an eye out for clips of Liddell. I’m curious how well he can dance w/o clotheslining his partner. I’d rather see Tyson Griffin or Sodallah on there, though.

Mya is a trained dancer! not fair, she shouldn't be allowed

I have watched every season of Dancing but I won't this time around. Who was the brain behind Tom DeLay?

Way to go DWTS for picking Donny Osmond!  He is fabulous and i believe he has what it takes to win this season!  he is better than ever.  he was awesome at the Flamingo in Vegas and i can't wait to watch him on DWTS. I am tired of all the negative comments about Donny and Marie!  Give it up already.  The Osmonds are awesome!!

Louie Vito has been widely reported by the New Zealand press and in the social media underground to have been arrested for pot possession in New Zealand on August 1st.  He was travelling in a party van with notorious bad boy, Danny Kass, when the NZ police stopped them.  They reportedly "got off" from these charges by donating to a NZ charity.  To date, this story has not been covered by the mainstream U.S. press.

Please scratch Tom Delay. I will not be watching this year.

As always, I love the variety of backgrounds and experiences these brave souls bring to the stage!  That's what makes the show what it is!  Would all you perfect people stop with the negative attitudes!  If you don't want to watch it, fine, but because one dancer isn't to your liking you won't watch, my best is you likely really didn't watch all the other seasons either!  Keep smiling -- this is entertainment!  I can't wait to see how it unfolds!

I have been counting the days for DWTS to start. As a Ballroom, Swing, Latin, Country dance teacher myself, I am amazed how some of these people are transformed into actual dancers and enjoyable to watch. Take Macy Gray for instance, she looked like a lumbering, plod-along farm girl when she first walked onto the tv screen. Then after weeks of intense training fitted in with her European tour with dance teacher in tow, she emerged like a fragile butterfly trying to find her wings! My pick for the winner, Donny Osmond, although Mya is going to be neck and neck with him. Love the relay dances too.

I'm hoping Mark Dacascos is the one. With his martial arts background he's got the best chance. I just found out he's starring in a new Film  called Serbian Scars. Check out  www.serbianscars.com for a trailer of his insane moves. Mark my words he's got the best chance

I've been watching Dancing with the Star from the beginning and LOVE IT.  I would like to have them get rid of Samantha Harris and found her "Tongue" comment totally inappropriate.

# tina -10/21/2009 4:08:32 AM
this is the first time i have ever seen DWTS and i absolutely love it especially Dimitry Chaplin how hot is he. I will be watching every time from now on.
