Wayne and Jerry were not very entertaining as dancers. With them it was more like the train wreck factor that was keeping them around. The oldest man to do a decent job was O'Hurley, and if not for Charlotte's choreography he may not have done so well, either. She knew how to emphasize his strengths so that his limitations weren't too obvious.

For the celebrities who already know how to dance, there's nothing stopping them from putting on their own dance shows where they can do exhibitions. There's no need to mess with the premise of DWTS, and certainly no need to put experienced dancers in a competition against inexperienced dancers. It's kind of like when they started letting pro athletes compete in the Olympics. Sure, it's fun to watch them do what they do best, but how fair is it to the amateurs who have to compete against them? It just creates a mess where everyone has to be scored by different standards and the viewers get frustrated.

I agree with your opinion on Wayne and Jerry, Curly, but clearly others (the judges, and whoever was voting for them) felt differently. you really think ppl were voting for Wayne because they wanted to see a train wreck?

there is something to be said for seeing someone older undertake something like this. their joy is contagious, and I find it heartening and inspiring

I didn't find Wayne entertaining, but I did find Jerry not only entertaining but endearing.

I didn't know Jerry from Adam, only what I'd heard about his show. He is such a sweet man that I just cannot reconcile him to that horrid show he has. I've never watched it, but have seen excerpts of it on ET from time to time. It just does not compute.

Never watched his show either, but saw him on Biography on A&E. He was a serious newsman who did a filler piece where the people started screaming. He did not loose his cool & the rating went up. So TPTB offered him a show just of crazies. Dancing with his daughter was a highlight of the season.

I used to catch "The Jerry Springer Show" and Jerry was a sweet man on that show. At the end of every show he gave a little talk to his guest and viewers that was very sweet and good advise for those who were the guest. It was the guests who were bad not Jerry. He tried to make since of their miserable lives.

Jerry also had something nice & encouraging to say to every contestant backstage on "America Got Talent".

Springer (and management of the station) wrecked the best local TV news team in Chicago. That whole thing was a debacle. Springer will never be on my TV screen.

"I used to catch "The Jerry Springer Show" and Jerry was a sweet man on that show."

Pleeeeaaazzzee, Jerry Springer was making a buck off of putting disfunctional people and their sad sordid stories on national TV for the world to amuze themselves. So over the top I have a hard time believing people really live in that manner, probable half of it made up for entertainment purposes. Jerry was nothing but a circus leader on that show making money off of others ignorance. If your talk show has to have bouncers, theres a problem...lol

yea its legal but it is truly low class in my opinion. I pretty much feel the same way about "Dr Phil", he just hasn't made it into quite the boxing match circus Springer did.

Now, on DWTS I enjoyed watching him...he seemed like a real human being and I thought Kim did a great job of choreographing dances for him.

Maybe Louis will finally be on again or that Brian will come back...or maybe someone new. I wonder if all of the other pros will be returning. Guess we will find out tomorrow night on Dance Wars.

Royal Caribbean Opens Dance Floor to Vacationers in New Production Show

Inspired by Hit TV Show, "Invitation to Dance" Makes Guests the Stars on Explorer of the Seas


MIAMI, Jan. 9 -- Royal Caribbean International guests can Rumba, Samba, Cha-Cha, Waltz or Swing into the spotlight in "Invitation to Dance," the cruise line's newest production show featuring guests as stars aboard Explorer of the Seas. Created in conjunction with Louis van Amstel, Emmy-nominated choreographer for ABC-TV's "Dancing with the Stars," and Cheryl Burke, two-time winner on the show, "Invitation to Dance" transports the world of professional ballroom dancing to the high seas.




Guests sailing on Explorer have the opportunity to compete for the honor of best ballroom dancers at sea. With the guidance of professional dancers, stylists and make-up artists, guests may just realize their true calling while on vacation.

"Invitation to Dance' is another example of Royal Caribbean's dynamic and innovative approach to offering engaging entertainment and activities for our guests," said Peter Compton, vice president, Entertainment and Guest Activities, Royal Caribbean International. "With all the excitement surrounding competitive dancing on television, we are now challenging our guests to live out a dream while enjoying their cruise vacation."

Chosen during an evening of ballroom dancing at the beginning of each cruise, four couples are selected to participate in the "Invitation to Dance" production show later that week. The finalists work with Royal Caribbean's professional ballroom couples to learn slick dance moves, attend costume fittings, and receive star treatment in preparation for their Royal Caribbean stage debut. Showtime is an exciting evening in the spotlight for the dancing couples as they join the Royal Caribbean cast on stage and compete against each other for the applause and support of their fellow guests.

Explorer of the Seas sails year-round from Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, NJ, on five-night Bermuda getaway cruises and nine-night Caribbean vacations.

Royal Caribbean International is a global cruise brand with 21 ships currently in service and three under construction. The line also offers unique land-tour vacations in Alaska, Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, South America and New Zealand through its cruisetour division.

Gotta root for Sean . . . he's from Glen Ellyn, the immediately neighboring suburb. Marlee's originally from the Chicago area. And home now may be Chicago.

I think those are unconfirmed from a while ago - one of the evening shows (Extra/Access Hollywood?) asked Sean Hayes if he would be on it and his rep denied it... of course they could have lied, they often seem to! I'll love it if he is on though.

You're probably right then Kitt. I do agree that I think he'd be a lot of fun to see on the show though.

Steve Guttenberg has also been confirmed as a castmate on the new season of Dancing With the Stars.

Yes, the dude from Police Academy in the '80s!
