Here's one of the articles about the show's return: http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=3618

The only article I found about O'Hurley's show is this one: http://www.happycrumb.com/2005/07/19/john-ohurley-will-have-his-own-reality-show/

The Skating With Celebrities is discussed here: http://entertainment.myway.com/celebgossip/tvginsider/id/07_05_2005_1.html

'Dance' Dances Off With a Win

The debut of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance may have received a drubbing from several critics, but it attracted more viewers than any other show Wednesday night. The two-hour dance contest drew a 5.5 rating and a 10 share in the 8:00 p.m. hour and a 7.0/12 in the 9:00. Not only did the show give Fox a lead in the overall ratings for the night, but it overwhelmed the competition in the 18-49-year-old demo. Meanwhile, CBS's summer reality series Rock Star: INXS tumbled to a new low, its 2.4/4 dropping the usual ratings leader into fourth place for the night. CBS staged a major comeback on Thursday, however, averaging a 7.9/14 for the night, more than second- and third-place finishers NBC and ABC produced combined.

it is official....there's going to be a danceoff between O'hurley and Monaco on Sept 20, with a results show on the 22nd. The judges will be there, but will not take part in the scoring...only audience votes will count.

Oh my gosh....there really is going to be a dance-off! This is too funny!! I guess I'm already a skeptic here because I'm sure if that Kelly has that many fans they will be voting in droves again. Seems silly to do it again..but it will grab the ratings for ABC I suppose.

I guess they had to think of something to put up against the BB finale, but this sounds silly.

I agree with all of you...silly, but it might be fun to see John dance again. (I'll skip watching Kelly.)

This should be called the Rupert Dance off.....ABC's way of giving something to America's fav.......next will be 'Watch for a special 1 hr edition of BB, we bring Kaysar back and give him the money"

For one thing, they waited too long to do this. By September few will remember why they should care who wins. The other problem is that the audience vote was never called into question. It was the judges' scores that caused the controversy since they were supposed to be balancing out the popularity factor by actually scoring on performance. Having a dance-off with just the audience vote counting is their sneaky plan for exonerating Monaco's win because they know she already won that portion of the vote.

My consolation is that all those GH fans who hate her character but voted for her anyway are now being treated to twice as much of her. She's now playing a dual role and I understand they're working ballroom dance into her storyline as well. They asked for it, and now they're getting it.

Heads up, there will be a Dance Off between Kelly and and John on Tuesday, Sept 20. I heard somewhere that somehow the money will go to Katarina relief. I don't know what money or how it will be raised, and haven't heard about it again. So maybe I misunderstood something.

Maybe they're going to charge for the phone calls this time.

I WILL be watching, it's not too long ago for me. I hope indeed they work out a way for it to benefit Katrina relief work.

I guess they are airing all of the show's episodes today on the cable Family Channel. That's a busy night. BB and RockStar finales and this dance-off thing. I'm definitely setting my vcr for the first two since I will be at a concert that night. I have a feeling the results will be exactly the same as last time for the dance-off. I do hope that charities benefit from it at least.

Dance off is tonight...I will be watching BB but will tape it to watch after. I think it's not necessary to have a dance-off but will watch because I love dance!

I was just watching General Hospital and Kelly Monaco's character opened her front door and there was a detective and a police officer in uniform. The officer in uniform looked exactly like John O'Hurley. He never spoke but she kind of glanced at him and then spoke to the detective. I have Tivo so I keep rewinding it and pausing it on him and it sure looked like him. I could not find anything that he was suppose to appear but I find the timing interesting since the dance off is tonight. Did anyone else see it?

I saw Ms Monaco last night on Jimmy Kimmel. I didn't know she was a Playboy Playmate. She's quite lovely indeed. I would certainly vote for her. Anyone who has sex with Hugh Hefner deserves something.

Well, I hope they both do well, but the more I think about this the more it seems like a no-win situation for the two competitors. They've got little to gain and more to lose. If Kelly wins then John will probably be lampooned for complaining about the last loss. If John wins Kelly will look foolish for defending her last win when the judging looked so very suspicious.

Whatever happens tonight won't fix what the judges and producers did last time, but at least the viewers will get to see some more fun dance numbers.

Did anyone get the phone numbers??? You can only vote DURING the show and 15 minutes after, and they showed the numbers just VERY briefly!

The numbers are impossible to get through on. I've been trying for over a half hour.

For Kelly 1-866-613-0001
For JOhn 1-866-613-0002

You can also vote online until 1:15am Eastern time. I got through 4 times on the phone before getting a message that I reached my limit (it's supposed to be 5). Now I'm trying on a cell phone and can't get through at all.

Thanks for the numbers! I got through, took over 1/2 hour for 5 votes. A little confusing in that there are many busy signals and then when you finally get through, there is a LOOOOONG pause, after which I would either hear "your call did not go through" OR "Thank you for voting."
I will have to go back to enjoy the mid portion of the show (thank goodness I was taping) because my ears were filled with beeps and busy signals!
OH, by the way, I went online to vote and evidently had registered with abc before (no memory of that) and had to wait long time for them to send me a reminder of my password. So that was frustrating also.
