I think Tony might be beatified if he stays on long enough this season. I think I'll start referring to him as St. Tony of Wernersville.

It's where Tony's partner lives--in a large home with 8 children I seem to recall hearing about once or twice.

Blush. Got it. LOL. As you can guess, I haven't followed that particular program. I might have caught a couple of eps at most.

LOL Tish my fear is the opposite. I am terrified, as I feel Tony is, that HE will develop a difficult repution and his lifelong golden one will have a black eye, due to Kate.

As I touched on in my earlier post (back a page), this is Tony's livelihood and his reputation is super important to him, WAY beyond just doing DWTS. What a pity if some will remember him saying "I quit" out of frustration and reaching the end of his rope and it tarnishes that reputation in any way.

And I went to that link Wilson posted and it sure makes next week's dance sound scary to me. Other than dressing in Ed Hardy not sure how they can convey Jon, but damn it sounds tacky to me. And only further proves to me that Kate is about whatever gets her press, not what is best for her and her children. Btw I'd give those adorable kids a POOR KIDS!!!!! right up there with my POOR TONY!!!

There is just something so desperate, hungry and sad about her in my eyes. Seems she is always ignoring her biggest blessings (those kids) to go after fame, noteriety, etc etc.

BTW thanks to those who agreed...at least some of us are getting it eh??!! And to those who are Kate fans, while I don't understand it, please don't villify Tony based on one out of character event. That is just sooo grossly unfair IMHO

This is probably so wrong of me but I think that Cheryl and Chad seem like they just need to have one hell of a night together and he will probably dance like Fred Astaire. I don't know if anyone else sees what I see when I'm watching them.

I don't villify Tony or Kate. If Kate looks desperate I think it is an outcropping of having to support all of those children -- because I honestly don't think she will ever get a dime out of Jon. Tony was frustrated and not at his best -- we've all been there and said things we regretted an instant later! Fortunately enough when it's happened to me it's not been on-camera.

I think Kate is a very insecure person who has had to take on a lot of responsibility - sometimes she doesn't handle it very well but then again if I had that many children and had to put up with Jon over this last year I would be crazier than a loon (and exactly how crazy is a loon - does anyone know?).

I don't get overly involved in the drama that affects these people's lives...I simply do not care about them that much. They are there to entertain or titillate me, not be my best friends. Isn't real life stressful enough without having to get all this worked up about somebody who is on television?

I so agree, Jenjackso -- I wondered if something was stirring between those two, especially when Cheryl said she and Chad had lots of fun, etc, together but she did not know where it was going to take them. I thought WOW!! Did she just let it slip that they might have something going??? They really look cute together.

I think it's cheesy of DWTS to have couples "tell a story" with their dances. That kind of thing is always stupid to me.

Erin and Maks -- now that's a couple I want to continue watching through the weeks. And not just for the dancing!

Nicole S. is really good. I was watching her and thinking that when you look at that pair, you can't tell who the professional is. I enjoy watching people at all levels compete. It ends up being a popularity contest with a little dance ability thrown in anyway, not vice versa.

Put me on the Erin/Maks train as well!!

Hot, sexy, as well as very very funny.

They'll get all my votes.

I have to start watching this show, it's the most happening thread on the board! A lot of good celebs this year. I am enjoying the Great Kate Debate '10. Very amusing.

I couldn't believe that Kate didn't go home. I watched one TLC show when it first came out. She treated her (then) husband and one of the twins like second rate citizens. Now she has her dance partner tied up in knots too. What's with her? Would have liked to have seen her go - so I can watch this show, instead of DVR speed watching. Her pathetic, sad, help me looks are something I can't handle.

Lurk, even though this is the 10th season, it is still only the 5th year. There are two shows a year. So, you haven't seen Tony for almost 10 years on DWTS. If I am wrong about this I apologize.

Nope Ophilia you are right, so I'm sorry about my fast calculations. Although I'm not sure they were always 2 per year. But IMHO that totally immaterial to my point. (But I'm more than glad to correct for accuracy here :-) ). Everything other fact I said is totally accurate, and it's of little difference if all I've heard about Tony is 5, 6, or 9 years.

The bottom line is that not once before has there ever been any negative press about him EVER. And trust me there's been tons about Maks, Cheryl, Karina, and some others. It's not a show where they would overlook these things.

So forgive me my bad math, but I still feel I'm spot on about everything else (and being a right brained person, I'm very used to mathmatical errors in my life lolol).

I just found a great clip of Shannen and Mark on GMA and thought I'd share it with the class lolol;

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/SpringConcert/dancing-stars-shannen-doherty-mark-ballas-voted-off/story?id=10240661

I thought they were esp cute when discussing if Mark would have danced next Monday or not. It made me really sad that she was gone, when clearly she was NOT the worst dancer. No matter what we think of some other issues here, is there anyone who thinks she was the worst dancer this season???

BTW, I also stumbled on an interesting Tony Dovoloni tidbid. I never realized that of all the pro's, he's appeared on the 2nd most shows since it started!! Who knew?! lol (Cheryl was 1 if anyone is wondering w/136 eps compared to Tony's 125. Edyta was next w/114 so C1 had lots of shows to, um, appreciate, her talents hehe). So that's a whole lotta shows for not one problem until Kate came along EH? Another interesting tidbit was that his real first name is Driton. Another big who knew?! lolol Sounds more like a booze name than a first name to me

ETA lol did you come to post cause your ears were about to be burning Mark?!!

Roxip, I totally agree with you. Kate is way out of her comfort zone and I thought that rather than nagging, she was pleading with Tony to try another way of helping her 'get it'.

Kathy, OR another way of looking at it is just as she always wants things done HER way, something she admits to BTW, rather than learn or do it Tony's way, she wanted it HER way period. Just as her kids always must do it her way, just as Jon always had to do it her way (until he left and likely lost his mind from it), and just as she expects everyone to behave.

Seems to me if she was just pleading not demanding, she wouldn't have gone to the show producers (as has been reported) to try to get Tony fired. That's more an act of control and anger, not frustration IMHO.

ETA Roxip one thing I keep forgetting to add in reply to that post that was referrenced, I just don't buy this huge need to support the kids. She has had several best selling books, has done tons of lectures with paid admittance and book signings, she was paid VERY well for their TV show AND now there is talk of a new show in developement w/her. Not to mention other paid appearances. Seems to me she and her kids should be well set. It's why her "poor stuggling me to put food on the table" comments drive me up a wall.

I can't really blame ABC for having Kate in DWTS...look at all the controversy over her!

I never watched the Jon and Kate show, so all I know about her is what I read here.

I do have to say that the face she had on her when she was waiting to see if she was going to be eliminated made her look bad.

I see her as an ordinary person who is in extraordinary circumstances, and definitely out of her element.

If she doesn't improve and her fans keep her on the show, we will at least have someone to gossip about!

Personally, I'd like to see her leave so we can discuss the other contestants.
