Why would you love that? How can that benefit Kate (or ABC)?

Kate is every bit as much or more of a "Star" than many of the contestants who have appeared on the show. They could have called the show "Dancing With Famous or Fairly Well Known People" but that's a bit of an awkward title.

I never watched the Jon & Kate show, but I heard it got big ratings...it's similar to the Kelly Osborne situation - she's only famous because of her father, the prince of darkness (hahahaha) and their reality show.

A gal who was on The Bachelor (another reality show I don't watch) was on a couple of seasons ago, and now she's co-hosting DWTS.

I suppose they're all 'stars' in some form or another.

I guess they could have named the show "Dancing with the Well Known for Something" - but that's kinda boring!

Dipo, Erin is a sports newscaster who was (secretly) videotaped by a pervert as she walked around her hotel room naked. He had apparently removed the glass peephole from the hotel room door and replaced it with a camera. Really weird and creepy. I believe the vid was then put out on the internet. She must have felt very violated.

I like DWTS so much that I don't care who the contestants are - it has a fun, comedy atmosphere that reminds me of the old variety shows that used to be on tv. We don't have variety shows anymore, and I dont get into any of the cop-doc-lawyer shows that are so common now.

There are only about 10 tv shows that I watch these days, and some, like Mad Men and Glee, aren't on right now.

Plus - I would never allow a contestant to alter my tv viewing.

This show, like Celebrity Apprentice, just calls whoever they can coerce onto the show a star. After the few shows the message boards are usually posters telling each other exactly who these strangers called stars really are. I have heard of about three of them. I would only have heard of two except that the skater guy was just in the Olympics so I recognized him. Six months from now I'd be saying "who the dickens is he?"

ROFL @ Angelic. You are sooo funny!

Costa, you won't be the only one boycotting the show. From other sites and blogs, many say they will.

I'm still confused as to whether Melissa Rycroft is the new co-host. I feel that would be a mistake, as she is another polarizing figure. I sure liked Drew Lachey when he did it.

Wasn't there supposed to be one more "mystery" guest to be announced later? Anyone know anything about that?

LOL at least we are consistant here....we always have debates on
who/what constitutes a star
the fairness of having some dancers with more of a background in dance than the others.

Hey I didn't rename him Poor Tony, that was several other posters. I didn't say WHY he got the name and don't care.. just using his new name so no one confuses which Tony I'm posting about.


I suspect he and his wife and kids are pretty happy he is ON this season and not OFF, as are several other male dancers.

Another advantage Nicole has is that she has been doing her dancing in stilettos for years.

Love the pictures from that link LT. Especially with Jake sitting on the floor and Buzz drinking tea!

At least Nicole and Derek are getting on with dancing and up on their feet, too.

BTW.. I predict if Jake lasts awhile that he'll take Chelsie flying and I'm betting the show will pay for renting the plane or helicopter too. Poor Chelsie might have to go to Dallas.

Adding up the various perks we perceive individuals to be getting for the show is kind of meaningless without knowing what they have been offered to be on the show. We only heard about what Shawn Johnsaon was getting because she was a minor and the contract was made public.

Cricket, I'm also confused about the host job. Thought they were going to announce it by now, but guess they are keeping us in the dark for a bit longer.

I hated missing it, but I boycotted DWTS while Springer was on. Refuse to watch him.

I was looking for couples pics.. found individual headshots on buddy tv but the fun thing.. the last phrase in Pamela Anderson's bio is "bad marriage choices" (as something she is famous for).

Holly, I think the mystery was the 11th competitor, which turned out to be Jake from the Bachelor.

Sea, I don't think the official photos are out yet, I remember last year they took ages to come out too.

The funny thing is that while I never liked the Jerry Springer Show, he was very nice on DWTS and really quite fun to watch.

She that shan't be named is in a small pic on the cover of TV Guide this week. I thought my husband was going to burn it. He was just saying at Christmas he's soooo glad to stop seeing her on the cover of all the tabloids and ....sheeeee's baaaaaccckkk.

He's never even seen the show, but just can't stand how she's always in the media.

LOL Cricket. I know, just when you thought it was safe to browse the magazine racks.... I saw that clip of her coming out and signing autographs. I loved her hair! See, I can say something nice about she-that-shan't-be-named.

As for Jerry Springer -- is there a person out there that watched him on DWTS that wasn't won over by his personality? I was so surprised that I adored him! And the whole thing with his daughter was very moving. I also had no idea he had a legit career before his awful show. It was eye opening.

Jerry Springer was also terrific on America's Got Talent. I've never seen his show but I've heard it's pretty bad. From what I've seen of him on DWTS and AGT he's great.

Jerry Springer won me over too. I would never have thought I'd care for him in a million years. Same with Kelly Osbourn.

I've been won over by any number of the dancer/stars and Jerry Springer was certainly one of them. Heck, maybe I'll like Pamela Anderson this season.. sort of doubt it but could happen.

I already was behind Kelly but still she was quite a surprise..

I didn't watch America's Got Talent either because of Springer. Ultimately, he was and continues to be the host of one of the worst shows ever on TV.

Sea, me too!! I dont really know a lot of them this season but I know I will fall in love with one or two. I just like dancing and this show is fun. If people dislike Kate then they can fast forward thru her. I fast fwded thru Samantha and will most likely ff thru the new hostess.
