Saw the ads for this recently and noticed Maks (from DWTS) is going to be on here and we will see him in a bathing suit! It starts June 23rd.

There is a short promo for the show here that shows all of celebrity/athlete pairings. http://abc.go.com/primetime/thesuperstars/index?pn=index I plan on trying it to see what it's like.

I'm still going to give this show a try but I thought it was going to be more like Battle of the Network Stars. Does anyone remember that show from the 70's where stars from ABC, NBC and CBS competed against one another?

I remember Battle of the Network Stars. I was just a little kid, but I used to love that show. A couple of years ago they had a Battle of the Reality Stars show just like it. Jonathan and Victoria from TAR were on the same team as Mike "Boogie". Needless to say, that was my least favorite team.

I only know 2 of the contestants by name, and that's only because they were on other reality shows. Maksim and Julio Jr... Those supermodels and those athletes I just don't know.

I loved Battle of the Network Stars when I was a kid. I really didn't know any of the names either but one or two. I am sure I will give it a try.

I would have never said this- but I felt a bit sorry for TO a little there- Joanna was a piece of work..

Yeah, I'm one of the biggest TO non-fan, but his partner was way out of line. If I were him, I'd have run until right before the finish line and then sat down. She's lucky TO is not my man or my son cuz she'd have to be looking over her shoulder for a good long time after tonight ...

Completely agree about TO. What a terrible teammate he had. Maks and his athlete partner Kristi Leskinen are in first place after tonight's competitions. Do the scores carry over to the next round? I was assuming they wouldn't.

Don't really know. Don't know much about scoring, etc. Think I heard a contestant say something about a $1MM first place prize at the end. Don't know if that is for real or just some tossed-off comment. I enjoyed it tonight as a summer show. Better than others. Love looking at the Atlantis and Paradise Island. I was at Paradise Island in the mid '60s when they were just starting to "build" the island. I remember sitting in shallow water on the beach and being nibbled on by little fiddies and getting the darkest tan I've ever had. Got home and Mom said, "What happened to you???"

I'm not a TO fan even though he just moved here to Buffalo but I gotta say his partner was <77>. She was just so rude. She needs to learn some manners.

It's $100,000 for the winners- I don't know if that's each or split. Tex- the woman was Joanna Krupa, probably best known for her modeling (Maxim, Playboy, etc...)

Some inside info from Sportscenter (it absolutely IS a spoiler about the next episode only, so don't read if you don't want to know!)
Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | According to my DS, Sportscenter announced that someone else gets hurt next show and has to leave, so TO and Krupa return! |

the guys on espn today basically were saying the TO team fight was fake, which i find interesting since abc owns espn. poor john saunders who usually is a very good sports host is totally overselling this in his commentary. plus he needs to learn how to say dan cortese last name. funny when lisa leslie went the wrong way on the cargo net. even though she didnt do very well last night i still hope jennifer capriati wins with her partner.

She was REALLY rude, but her partner was kind of hopeless. I kept yelling.. take your SHOE off! lol! Funny but the real atheletes may be less likely to THINK outside the box since they have to follow strict rules within their own sport but reality veterans would probably have removed the shoe. But to be fair, that show looked all laced up and probably would have been hard to remove.

I haven't heard of any of these people. I'm either living under a rock, or the term celebrity means something differnt then I thought it did.

I gave it a try, but it didn't hold my interest. P.S. There was already another thread for this show here called "The Superstars". It's further down on the list now, so the mods might want to combine or remove one of them...or do whatever what kind of Mod Magic they do.

I recognize more of the altheletes' names than the "celebrities". The eight athletes are Jennifer Capriati (tennis champion), Brandi Chastain (pro soccer player), Robert Horry (pro basketball player), Jeff Kent (baseball?), Kristi Leskinen (pro skiier, but most hits are about her beauty), Lisa Leslie (pro basketball player WNBA), Bode Miller (pro skiier) and Terrell Owens (NFL). The eight celebrities are David Charvet, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Dan Cortese, Paige Hemmis, Julio Iglesias, Jr., Joanna Krupa, Ali Landry and Estella Warren
