UPDATED: OMFG . . . Adam Rippon, Tonya Harding and Mirai Nagasu are on the DWTS' all-athlete cast

I have no idea who that is haha. But I think Kaepernick is interesting since it's someone who took a stand for social injustice and basically had his career destroyed because of it. Now that's personal integrity.

Benji Schwimmer was the winner of season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance, and his sister Lacey was a pro on DWTS for six seasons. He's also a world champion swing dancer. A few years after he won SYTYCD, Benji came out as gay. He's also the guy who worked with Adam on choreographing his "Diamonds" routine. They've known each other a long time.
 
I know there have been football, baseball, basketball players. Has there ever been a hockey player?
 
Perhaps. But she did do the “Breaking the Ice” sit down in 1998.

NVM. Didn’t read through the rest of the thread before replying. Still, that was 20 years ago. I’ve also heard Nancy’s doing commercials for local car dealerships and making appearances at home shows. Maybe money is getting tighter?
 
Benji Schwimmer mentioned in an interview last month that he would be all for partnering Adam on DTWS. :D
The podcast host who interviewed Benji says on twitter that it's 100% not happening (see this thread), and I presume she's gotten that from a knowledgeable source... :sekret:

Not surprising, of course, and I didn't really expect network executives to get that adventurous with this franchise, but :blah:

As for Tonya? Well somebody has to go home first.
yeah but there will still have to be the live critique where they give helpful advice and she doesn’t even listen, then the one on one “confessional” where she claims to not be bothered, says “whatever” and mentions god a few times, then the post production press where she claims the whole show is rigged. Lather, rinse, repeat.
 
Am I the only one who thinks Adam isn't going to be so great at dancing judging by how he performed his Fedde Le Grand short? :shuffle:
Nah I think that program's fine. But as far as 'Adam' and 'dancing' goes, I can't help but keep thinking about this freaky dance floor incident:
The pair says they went dancing at a club one night. Adam ended up dancing with another girl, and Ashley said she went to "save him" from her.

"And when Adam dances, he uses his head a lot," Ashley said, indicating that his head moves back and forth. "He's a full body dancer."

Adam said he was having the time of his life.

"And then tragedy struck," Adam said.

"Tooth met forehead," Ashley revealed, "and I bit a chunk out of his face."

(...)

It wasn't until he woke up the next morning that Adam decided this was serious enough to go to the emergency room.

"And she's like, 'Oh, my God. Are her teeth OK?'" Adam said. "And I was like, 'Oh, my God. That is so beside the point' because my head is still bleeding."
:eek: :D
 
"A source tells ET that softball star Jennie Finch will be joining the upcoming, sports-centric season of DWTS."
My wife LOVES soft-ball! She has loaded down so many videos with the theme of soft ball to our computer that the hard drive is almost full. We will need to think about getting a harder or fuller drive! We joke about that it is ironical to have a full hard drive with soft videos!

Back on to the topic, I am still very upset that Adam will be allowed to compete on this program.

I do not find it at all surprising that when Adam uses his head skills in public there are results involving blood, teeth falling out, people being scared, and all sorts of hoo-hahs! Please let the net-works cancel the decision to have him be on the Dancing show or someone will wind up injured and it won't be because on Tonia and her hired whackers this time!

Alright, clearly I have missed something. I'm just going to go ahead and ask....Why EXACTLY should Adam not be allowed?

Also, if this is a troll, someone else please let me know?

This is the same troll that started the ridiculous discussions about how Ross Miner would have performed at the Olympics and Worlds if he had skated. If not a troll, this individual needs to be neutralized

Ok, thank you so much. I took the bait like a dumb dumb, lol.

Ross Miner had a chance to go to worlds and declined. I doubt he would have placed any higher than Max Aaron did. Max did place high enough to give the men 3 spots next year though. I remember Bradley thinking we had lost the 3rd spot because of Zhou's bobekian free skate , then he remembered Aaron.

I don't have a problem with Rippon being on DTWS. I am going to actually watch it this season (ending my boycott because they had Kerrigan (who was no angel either- nice girls don't have affairs with men that are still married). I am happy Tonya is going to be on (and she was famous for more than the incident- or did some posters forget she was the first American female to land a 3axel in competition, and the first female ever to land the 3axel/2toe combo in the short and I really wish people would remember her for that).
 
Sean Avery danced with Karina Smirnoff. How did this influence Charlie's partnership?

The original pairings were Charlie/Peta, Karina/James Maslow, and Sharna/Bruce Jenner. Avery was a last minute replacement for Jenner and demanded Karina as his partner. Why didn't they simply give Maslow to Sharna? My guess is the producers at that point found out that he and Peta dated in the recent past and they were intended to be the showmance of the season until the Meryl and Maks thing happened unexpectedly. So Sharna got Charlie by default. Source is Kristyn Burtt.

Nice girls also don't participate in any manner or capacity (during or after) in a plot to injure their competition and cover up the attack...but I guess that pales in comparison to dating a guy who was separated from his wife by his account.

My wife and I have a labrador dog that we named "Mr. Dog" and when we first got him, he had to be neutralized! We heard from the vet. that you can get a device called "neuticals" so the dog will feel like he still has some of his manly parts but it didn't seem worth the investment!

Also, Tonya should be in jail right now. She should be behind bars. She should of been charged with first, second and third degree of murder and man-slaughter. She should be locked up. She should not be free. She should not be allowed to go into public and she sure as heck should not be allowed to dance on TV with real famous people who are not criminous murderers!
 
Tonya and Nancy both belong in jail! They should of put Nancy in the slammer the second she said nasty things about the Disney-Land parade, what a sore looser! And surely the mean, nasty comments about Oaksana crying off her make-up were incriminated speech!

How dare either of these women have movie and TV makers putting them on our screens it is absolutely beyond out-rageous. I have not been this angry since what happened to Ross Minor when his body was called non-sufficient by the FSUSA.

I will boycott all programs on this network and ask my neighbors to do the same and come sit with us and pray in the dark during prime time hours.
