Sam brings nothing to the show, I would rather see another co host. I like Lisa but not sure she would be right for it. Rosie would be fun

Oh my gosh Rosie! I don't think so....I used to love Rosie's talk show, but never liked the view that well before Rosie, avoid it totally now (as well as the Apprentice too, by the way).

It would be neat to have a dancing pro as hostess. Or I just had another thought: Marilu Henner--she co-hosts for the PBS ballroom dancing.

I'm new to the show and I like the female cohost and I loved her hair and dress last night. I thought she was BEAUTIFUL. I also find it irritating when she and Clyde spar for the mike tho. LOL. As an interviewer I've had folks do that to me too (with my taperecorder) and I want to bop them over the noggin with it. To me, personally, it feels invasive. IMHO/shrug Mind you, after the first couple of times, you'd think she'd get a clue and do it right by reaching up to him, so he doesn't have an excuse to grab it!

Was this the show that had a blond, British woman co-hosting? Cuz I HATED her and her accent. And I usually adore those accents, but for some reason she made me WANT to change the channel.

PS. I really enjoy Bergeron as the primary host...

Mame, I think that was "So You Think You Can Dance" that had the blond British woman co-host.

I actually like Sam, but agree with Pamy that she brings nothing to the show. She looks awkward imo and I agree that her q's sometimes seem inappropriate. And this may sound off the wall but I think she looks depressed. It was nice to see her light up about her baby announcement though.

Oh and yeah, the blonde host I'm talking about is British - Cat Deeley. I find it hard to understand how anyone could dislike her, but to each his/her own :-)

I think Marilu Henner would be a great co-host. I've seen her host the ballroom dancing & she's fun to watch.

Great idea Beth!

Anyone remember first season when Tom Bergeron actually danced the quickstep with one of the pros--for the last show? That was such fun!
And Samamtha danced something too, although I can't remember what.

They're doing alright with what they've got. Samantha isn't a comedian, but she's just there to get backstage comments anyway. Cat Deeley and that British chick from the Grease show both annoyed me with their accents, and I usually like British accents. There's a snide, nasal quality to theirs that irritates after a while. I know they can't help it, but I just don't think that would be an improvement over Samantha. If they did bring in someone else, it would have to be a woman with a quick wit (and NOT Rosie O'Donnell). Anyone else would just get more complaints. Well, except for maybe Leeza Gibbons since she's used to interviewing people.

What drives me nuts is that their microphones are always too weak. Every show I think this will be the week that they fix their sound problems, and every show starts off with the hosts being completely drowned out by the music and the hyped-up crowd. The only one with a loud enough microphone is the announcer. And why are the hosts holding hand-held mikes instead of wearing them? Then they could just hand over the hand-held ones to the people they interview instead of holding it up to their faces.

I think both hosts do a good job on this show.

(But I love Cat Deeley too)

In Samantha's first season she was dubbed "perma-smile". Meaning she was always smiling. I think she purposely does not smile all the time now. Guess she can't win.

Drew coming out and dancing with Cheryl was the highlight of the season! Hell, it was the highlight of ALL seasons since they did that dance for their finale! She really is a heckuva choreographer, and he really did deserve to win that season! (He even finished the dance up with ALL the pros, and that was so cool!)

Seriously, made me smile! I loved it!

I think Sam has a beautiful smile, but it sometimes looks a little forced to me - maybe that is why I perceive her to be depressed. Not because of how often she smiles, but the way she smiles. I feel sorry for her as I picture her running back to her dressing room and bawling after shows (okay, so I am probably wacked) :-)

Tom imo always looks like he is sincerely enjoying himself. Cat Deeley had great energy and always looked like she was having a blast. I also loved the blonde on Grease, she seemed to really feel for the contestants.

so, willa ford, from last seasons dancing w/ the stars has been slated to play anna nicole smith in the 1st ANS movie. to me, seems, willa is very much missing two of anna's best assets. well, i guess that can fix that with some socks and a bigger bra.

Kristy Swanson is doing a ANS-like character on a L&O tv episode.

That is the type of assets that are needed. Not a dancer.

Thanks Denecee, yep Cat Deeley's the one I was referring to. Actually, I don't hate the woman, I don't know her, but she certainly made the show less enjoyable and I hated watching her and listening to her. The British gal on the Grease show was fine, IMHO.

Today on Oprah, she has an instructor from the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater on the program. The instructor said, "The music tells you how to move." No wonder some stars on DWTS have a hard time. Sometimes I hear something, but it's not anything I'd call music to dance to.

Oh crap, I turned my head..what happened to bring on the "traction" comment from Bergeron after Heather danced? (eta, it's so confusing with 3 dancing threads in the main area)

Naja, Heather fell at the end of the dance. Of course the judges brushed it off, just another example of the unfair judging, IMO since they all commented and judged Ian and Cheryl lower because of his misstep at the end of their dance a couple weeks ago.

Naja - Heather put one foot up on her partner, but her leg went out from under her and she fell. It was the very end of the routine, so not really a huge distraction. The comment Tom made was a joke aobut his shaved chest - that if he still had the hairy chest, she could have gotten traction and stayed up! LOL!
