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

If nipples are shown on national television, NBC will be getting many words straight from my wife and I. We will have out entire local community of faith conduct a prayer circle, use rosary beads daily, every possible action to have this awful program taken away for-ever! Criminal Tonia and nipples of "alternative life-style" Rippon, I all most do not even want to keep reading about it hear but I will because reading about things that make me angry and loose my mind is important!

Judging from Adam's Instagram, it seems like the obvious choice.

Poor Adam, so young (in non-skater years) yet so absentminded: Forgot my shirt AGAIN ugh:saint:
(EDIT: link fixed, thank you @Sylvia for noticing!)

Yeah. Just checked Jenna's twitter and she posted this clip feat. Adam & Val C. from Manhattan.

Wonder whether Val is choreographing for them or just checking how the rehearsals are going?

Adam is in NYC for the TIME 100 gala tonight.

According to Mirai's IG stories, she flew back home to LA and ABC cameras filmed her and her parents at their home for DWTS.

ETA: @nimi, your first link above is broken? Thanks for sharing the piano duet clip! :)

Gus Kenworthy has an IG story up today of Adam walking in his apartment and meeting Beemo.

Beemo is the really cute puppy Kenworthy adopted/rescued from a now-closed dog meat farm in Korea - Adam is Beemo's new "guncle" (see Beemo's current IG stories ;)): https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh8Ct85nrz5/?hl=en&taken-by=beemopup

Yeah, my time zone is out for the first week, so I think I'll just forget this sad version of the regular show is even being aired.

Tonya’s on Instagram @therealtonyaharding. Her partner Sasha’s following her, so you can tell it from the fake accounts.

Not to make this thread all Tonya-centrist again, but checking out all the DWTS clickbait I saw that Tonya on her new Instagram bills herself as '2x US Champion.' Which isn't so strictly correct ... :shuffle: :EVILLE:

I actually think it could be fun - and tough, since we'll say goodbye to lots of dancers quickly. Some of these folks would never have signed to a full season, so yay on that!

So if you are boycotting, how are you going to know about the nipples?
Click to expand...
There are three reasons why I believe I will find info on the nipples on this web sight.

First, there may be many bad people here (like the mean one's and the a##'s) but some represent good things like the values Ross and Heidi were bringing back to the sport until what happened to Ross in San Hose. And even though I know it is very un-common for people here to every be unhappy or upset or criticize or complain or purpose-fully read materials or messages they do not want for the sol purpose of being angry and complaining, the nipples would of been mentioned somewhere.

Second, I know from some of the dabbling I did with seamen during my navy days that figure skating is a very popular sport for watchers who have choosen to prescribe to "alternative life-styles" such as what Adam does. May be they will change and become saved one day, I don't know and I may pray for them. But in my extremely small not even a hand-full of experiences with those who life alternative, they sure do like a smooth set of nipples on a muscular torso. It is confusing to me now!

So I hope all you kids who have that Instagram whatever thing is jumpin' on there correcting that little lie. Throw a line in there for me, will ya?!. :P
 
If its internet only vote, can't anyone just go to the website and vote and just make sure you do it during the East Coast broadcast time, regardless if you live on the West Coast? Or are there some kind of blocks or something. :shuffle:
 
Yeah, we should be able to vote during East Coast time. At least I hope so! I will try to remember to do so! West Coast always getting screwed. Surprised that American Idol is going live in all time zones, but most shows don't care about us. Although last year we got the premiere shown live here in L.A. but that was because they were showing pro football live after it during the regular DWTS time slot.

Mirai and Alan were on the L.A. ABC news today. Here's a pic of them w/the entertainment reporter who covers DWTS: https://twitter.com/abc7george/status/988936536296120320

So let's return the focus of this thread to its true subject . . .
I never hear Michelle Kwan bill herself as '10x US Champion." Which isn't so strictly incorrect ... :shuffle::EVILLE:

In spite of there only being two reasons, that was an extremely thorough answer.

This does not make sense to me. My wife and I may pray for you.

We will not pray for Marai. She may of been the most character filled and expressionate skater in the history of ladies, but the choice she has made by her free will to officially be on the same program as criminal Tonia and "alternative life" Adam is beyond what ever you want to say is the limit of what is o.k.

Tonya did win us nationals twice. the 2nd one was wrongfully stripped.
 
Tonya "harding-ed criminal" was stripped right-fully! The stripping was one of the only times a good decision has been made from the USFAS, who's treatment of certain skaters in the recent times were completely wrong.

My prediction is now that Marai wins the entire season, I think she will have the chance to show that her personality on the ice was not an exaggeration but the real spirit inside of her. Unlike her team-mate Ashley Wagner who is a big sour grape and should never be forgave for not acting like an Olympic athlete saying awful things to the media again and again.

This morning my I was in the kitchen getting a tea bag for my wife and the T.V. had a preview of the dancing opening episode, luckily I knew to close my eyes and put on my silk blind-fold in case it would of included more images of Adam with no shirt or a clear nipple-bearing top.

Also I'm so happy Mirai is dancing to Meghan Trainor's new song "No Excuses" - one of my current faves!

Are the original songs allowed to be used on the live show or only cover versions?

Mirai and Alan will be on the Access (Hollywood) TV show today -- check your local listings.

I really hope this experience can bring Mirai out of her shell on ice. Adelina did a dance competition after the Sochi Olympics and she was such a great performer afterwards (she was okay before too). Working with a dancer who just sells sells sells could do wonders for her if she continues competing/skating.
