I thought Jewel was kind of one of those in-between singers...sort of country, sort of pop, sort of folk singer. She's not the Tammy Wynette "Stand By Your Man" type of singer but I've always thought of her as country.

Aurora, I agree, I think it was she was in the news for that one show and though it likely brought viewers, it lost them as well. It will all even out, it's only entertainment, but I didn't think being dumped constitutes star, nor being on that show. And I don't mean stars as in A-list, I mean those who are known in those genre's, even if they are not on top at the moment. Another thread said my favorites Cheryl and Giles will be on the Bonnie Hunt show tomorrow http://www.bonniehunt.com/promos/

Speaking of Jewell: I'm wondering if she's discovered she has osteoarthritis? If not, it seems odd that she'd fracture both legs at the same time from dancing. Perhaps from now on they'll make sure the ladies are tested for bone density before they are hired. Makes sense to me.

Costa - Jewel IS a country singer. I personally don't like her, but she is played on country radio all the time. Her newest album is in the country music section and her videos are on CMT and GAC. She crossed over from pop over a year ago, before marrying Ty but while they were dating. She says she has always been a country girl with a country soul because of where she grew up. Again, I cringe when her songs come on the radio but she is played a lot.

This is my first time watching DWS (and I'm really enjoying it!)...I only started watching because of Melissa...and a teeny bit because of Holly.

I didn't watch the bachelor and I don't know Melissa from a bag of rocks, but she's totally captivated me. I'm glad she's going to be the next Bachelorette. Holly is sweet, but uncomfortably out of her element, IMHO.

Mame...Melissa isn't going to be the next Bachelorette. I believe they asked her, but she turned them down. As for Holly...from watching her on The Girls Next Door...Holly is just Holly...a bit different!, I guess that's why I was curious to see how she'd do on DWS! She did seem way out of her element...

Kmm, Thanks for the heads-up on that. I guess I misread something about it up-thread.

Jewell must have some chops as a country singer.. she was a judge on Nashville Star, I think, or some country singing contest. I really doubt that many people are boycotting DWTS because of Melissa and she's bringing them the attention they crave.. People Magazine, Jimmy Kimmel (and not for being booted, just to be on the show). I enjoy her, anyway. And I agree that Woz was probably what this show WAS to be about, one of the judges said as much, but when they do get that person they totally TRASH him in the scoring.. I enjoyed Woz immensely.. did not enjoy Cloris and all the attention she hogged, did not enjoy Master P, who went into stubborn brat mode, but Steve really did love being there.

Mame there was an article that sounded confused about that. They were negotiating with Molly to be the next Bachelorette, until Jason pulled the switch and dumped Melissa and got Molly to jump at him.. so then they asked Melissa, who said no. So the third place from The Bachelor, Jillian, will be the Bachelorette.. first one from Canada, I think.

I think it is somewhat sexism to complain that Holly and Melissa are not "stars" but to totally let slide some of these guys I have never heard of. Even Gilles is only memorable from ONE scene of ONE movie and only because he was naked!

I don't much care whether they are 'stars' or not. Once the compatition starts I get into it and enjoy it immensensly. I like getting to know them all. And now, the pros are becoming stars too. It's an all round fun show and I'm always watching it with a big cheesy grin on my face. Long live the Woz!

Giles and Cheryl were just on the Bonnie Hunt show. Giles was talking about how he was having a 'bromance' with Steve-O...how much he respected him and his story, how he over came addiction..ect.

Giles was also very sweet talking about his mother and her visit recently. No matter the result his career is certainly going to improve after this. He is hot and now he can dance!! I am glad Holly is gone. She was very nice but painful to watch and that laugh.....

Flossie, didn't that giggle annoy you so much??? Like i said, her last dance was not as bad as I thought it would be, but I couldn't tolerate her giggle anymore! Who's boycotting this show? I love it!

Hee! I thought that would get your attention, Mame! Yep.. she's from BC; love her Canadian accent and her family. I thought she was a better fit with Jason and even based on where they lived it could have worked, but she's probably better off leaving him to Molly. Jillian seems to have it together in many aspects of her life. Holly could be annoying, but I came to sort of like her.. just happy she won't have to dance anymore.. too awkward. Some people just cannot dance and it isn't always easy to predict.. like that model one season who was off first, or Monica Seles, who could move like crazy on a tennis court but definitely not made for a dance floor! I agree, that Giles is no more of a star, just because he looks good, but now that they are all on the show.. well Gilles and Melissa have real talent, Shawn has potential .. I think it did her a disservice to make that whole routine about tricks and dressed in sloppy workoutfits.. that was doomed to not be the judges' favorite.

IMO, winners & the runner ups on reality shows are as big a stars as alot of the "stars" they actually get for DWTS. I wouldn't mind seeing more reality TV folks on this show. You get your "token" athlete or two every season, you get an older past and/or present actual star/identifiable to most person/s. You get wealthy business figures that until this show, practically nobody has heard of them. We get to see models that are even more unknown to most watchers than even Real World folks would be. What's wrong with having someone like Melissa on DWTS - absolutely nothing! Go Melissa.
