George is a character. He looks like he enjoys life!

Go George! Geezers rock!

Does anybody else think Lisa is very herky-jerky? Seems to me like she is just slamming into her partner sometimes, and I intuitively wince for both of them.

Did a little "googling" on George Hamilton myself, since I thought they had mentioned somwhere that he was 69 yrs of age. Imdb film resource also has him born in 1939, however, so I guess the 66 is correct.

I didn't realize he had been nominated/won Golden Globes in the past:
2 Nominations:
Actor In A Leading Role - Musical Or Comedy
Love At First Bite 1979
Zorro, the Gay Blade 1981

One win:
New Star Of The Year
Crime & Punishment, USA 1959

At the official Dancing with Stars website, they post the judges votes over the weeks and it's been fairly consistent for George:
18, 22, 22, 21

May check out a few others to see their voting records.

VERY glad I voted (both phone and via web) for Tia this time; I was so upset when Giselle lost and i had NOT voted for her...because George and Jerry were lower, so had voted for them. Hadn't realized what a tremendous difference fan base makes, now I sure do!

I thought I heard George say he was 66 on the first show.

The next round should be fun with the samba and salsa (no Viennese waltz?). I'm surprised by the addition of salsa since it's not really a ballroom dance category as far as I know, but it's entertaining to watch. I sure wouldn't mind if they used it to replace the rhumba in future seasons.

I'm not so sure that Drew has that much of an advantage over the other guys when it comes to dancing. I was at the appropriate age when these "boy bands" were popular, and therefore have been to many a boy band concert, and 98 degrees wasn't really a dancing boy band. Compared to Nsync or Backstreet Boys, the 98 degrees moves were not very well...good..lol and many of their hits were slow songs...in fact they didn't dance all that much and the dancing they did was NOTHING compared to what he has been doing on this show...i think he has been phenomenal

Also, Drew was on Broadway in Rent which is also definately not a dancing role...so compared to say, Stacey's dance experience, Drew is severely lacking.

However, he probably does have a slight advantage in his ability to pick up choreography, but I wouldn't exactly call him a natural dancer or anything...

as for the other performers I was so upset to see Tia and Max in the bottom two especially since this was the first time I ever attempted to vote for this show and could not get through at all for Tia...always got a busy signal so I was convinced she was getting a lot of votes

Lastnight, watching Jonathan Roberts (formerly w/Giselle) and the other professional dancer performing with the 2nd Pussycat dance - - gosh, Jonathan looked like he was so happy and having a blast dancing to the level of his skills with a professional partner. Nice show, loved watching his smiles! I like that the show figures out ways to bring back in the professionals at times after being voted out. Not the professional's fault the star had less fan-base.

Does anyone else read the ABC Dancing w/Stars "Blogs"?
http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancing/blogs.html

They have only 3.... Louis=Lisa's Dance Pro, Bruno=Judge, Cheryl=Drew's Dance Pro

What a hoot to read Louis' blog about his haircut. First season I really disliked that bob, stiff & stuck to the back of his head like the bobbed tail on a horse in a parade. This new cut makes him look much more attractive and less formidable - Not to mention that he SMILES this season. Then, to read his blog..it's rather funny what happened to his ponytail.

I actually felt sorry for Louis 1st Season, trying to make the best of a frigid seeming dance partner (as I recall it was stuff like: "You Can't Touch Me Cause I'm a Newlywed" and now my husband has to come and watch) Crikey! No wonder Louis was gone on Day 1. NOW, he has a partner that's willing to work with him. Pretty fun behind the scenes reading his blog, if you get a chance. Bisc

Is Jonathan married to the "Anna" he was dancing with Friday? I remember Giselle said she was working her dance partner really hard, and he said fortunately he was used to it from his wife Anna (I HOPE I have all that correct, I think so...don't have a tape to check anymmore!)

Do know that George said on Friday show that this experience is the "best gift of his life", and I think that definitely comes across!

I hadn't recognized Louis as the same "Louis" ponytail dancer from last year until I read his blog...I was amazed; he looks much younger without it!

one other question:
Why is that song "Don't You Wish your Girlfriend was Hot like me?" SO familiar; I don't even know the group singing it Fri night! Did another group sing it previously, or was it used as a theme song for some show?
thanks!

Clutter~ I would venture to say that you found that song familiar because it is such a hit, it is being played everywhere...it was a song the audience had to guess on Ellen, American Idol contestants sang it at the auditions on TV... etc. Also the creator of the "Pussycat Dolls" is the sister of Jonathan Antin ( reality show Blowout). So there would be no way you could have escaped hearing it somewhere! LOL!

I love how much George is enjoying this experience. I really appreciate people who find fun and good in everything.

And they used it at the Golden Globes for the parody song they started the show with. Is that what you're thinking of?

Clutterfree, Jonathan's bio does say he and Anna are married.

Thanks, everyone! I think it maybe from the Ellen show that I know the song, and thanks Curlyq for the Jonathan/Anna info. I wish they would do more on the show to detail the dancers' backgrounds and experience!

Louis without the ponytail reminds me a little of the Brian (porno guy) who won Survivor a few years ago...LOL!

Misspoufy:

On the other hand, I'd dearly love to see Stacy and Tia do some of the dances that Lisa has been doing. Let's face it, anybody can swoop and turn doing a waltz, a fox trot...it takes real talent to get out there and do the faster Latin dances and Lisa has stepped up and found her niche.


I don't think the stars get to pick what dance they are to perform. I don't know how they are selected (and I'm too lazy to go look on the ABC Web site), but I think they are randomly chosen to perform one or the other dance.

And from what I recall, Tia *did* do a pretty awesome Latin dance a few eps ago.

Oh yeah... I am so OVER Lisa and her screaming. For pete's sake, how old is she? She is most certainly not a teenager. I can understand being excited, but I swear if I have to listen to her screech one more time, I'm gonna bail on this show till she gets kicked off. Really, Lisa, act your age. You are a professional. Act it. Please?

Not true, costa. the dancers get to pick which dance they will perform from what the hosts says each week.

They have two choices each week -- usually one "slower" and one "faster."

Wonder if Melanie from So You Think You Can Dance gave Stacy advice to stick her leg up in the air as much as possible?

Tia (in red and black dress) did an absolutely AWESOME tango a couple episodes ago, my favorite of the series so far!

Beachcomber, love the Melanie remark! One of the judges there critiqued Melanie for sticking her leg up too much, and then as Melanie got better and perssonality shown through, judge took it all back! Anyone know how Melanie and her boyfriend/winner are doing these days?

The difference is (Pamy and Texannie) is that you guys are doing NOT for yourself. You are doing it for your kid. Lisa's just doing it for herself.
