I tried to watch this show on it's first night, but couldn't stomach Johnny Weir.

After what that Johnny Weir said to her tonight, if I were her I would just walk off this stupid show and foul up the rest of the shows. They should never have a judge that has a personal vendetta against any contestant. It has been just so obvious with him. I believe he is probably in cahoots with his good friend Jill Zarin.

Bethenney has said from day 1 that she really doesn't care what the judges think, that she skates for fun, for herself, her family, and her fans.

When being judged for her performance tonight, that twit of a judge actually said (paraphrased), "well, you don't care what the judges think and you don't take our comments to heart, so I don't care to watch you perform." Wow, just wow. They need to get RID OF HIM!

Were these "stars" under a contract to perform in some special way? Were they expected to be all serious as if they were going to go into professional skating? Geesh, Bethenny wants to and is having a good time. Ever hear of that Johnny <77>? omg, I hate him!

Bethenny really should go home this week, but I'm going to vote for her just to <77> with Johnny Weir. :-)

...and how about The Dick Button comment about Bethenny being the Bristol Palin of this show?

This show should not be renewed, it's HORRIBLE!

I didn't understand a couple of Dick's comments, the one you stated, Hukd and the one about liquor being quicker.

Dick B. was trying to shush Johnny somewhat...how unprofessional can that guy be?

I do agree with Dick re Bethenny's legs...they stay stick straight when she's changing moves and does make it seem stilted. I don't understand why her coach/partner isn't working on that with her.

I thought they said no one is going home this week because of Brandon having to drop out. I agree with all of you who think this show is a bomb.

You're right, nobody is going home this week because of the skater who is out due to illness.

Bethenny isn't a good skater, for sure, and she really should go home. But the judges are just so awful to her and then gush like the other skaters are good enough for the Olympics.

Bethenny is a horrible skater, but... if she's having fun, who's to give her crap? The show's not on here yet, but if Weir said that to her, then he should've been smacked upside his head. The man is a real piece of work. I think his ego has gotten so big that he can't understand reality any more. I'm sure Bethenny's pro has told her about having "soft legs" and bending the knees. But if you are petrified on the ice, it's really difficult to remember that when you are performing live.

Weismuller and Rebecca will likely be in the finale. But... I just may actually vote for a change, and vote for Bethenny. Just to be a PITA and show Weir what I think of him!

P.S. The other skates sure had an advantage. Leaving out Brandon and his roller skating (and yes, the ice is faster but the stroking rhythm and movements are the same), Weismuller is an athlete and Rebecca was a junior skater earlier in her life. She already knew the moves, she just had to retrain her (older) body. Rebecca, I think, was the "one who had previous experience" for this show, along with Brandon.

And I, apparently, was exhausted last night and kept referring to Jonny as Weismuller and not Mosley. Sorry!

I watched the show this morning. I never really thought much about Johnny Weir, other than he was a bit weird. After last night, I am firmly on the dislike train. This man has no business being a judge. Yes, the show is a farce, but to say what he did? So childish, so unprofessional. And he deserved every boo he received.

I despise these judges.

Bethenny is skating the program 'her' professional is giving her to skate.

No it is not as smooth, flowie, as the others, but whose fault is that? Bethenny's or her pro/trainer?

The judges want her to do things 'her' professional isn't teaching her. Has never taught her, that I saw. You can't win DWTS with a bad coereographer.

The judging last night was awful. So many faults with 'what's his' name. Then Rebecca pulls off a great skate and they can't even muster the stones to give her the score she deserved? (Of course comparatively speeking.)

We need to flood the votes to tell these 'judges' they can't judge. These judges want to pick a winner the first week and eliminate everyone else. We need to tell ABC, they missed the mark.

Vote Bethenny.

Bethenny may not be the greatest skater but I must say, I'm impressed with all of them that they could skate at all, esp. being able to skate backwards and look like you're barely moving your feet. I NEVER could figure out how to do that so I'm just impressed they can skate at all, let alone do the tricks. If they wanted pro skaters, then they should have put them on the show.

add me to the list of shocked and appalled - I think there is a twitter war going on between the 2 as well, but how unprofessional of "that" judge to go off like that -

I thought that Bethenny was just commenting on how she knew she wasnt good, but was focusing on having fun, and learning...

Costa, I noticed your Johnny Weismuller and all I could think of was Tarzan. I didn't understand why you were calling him that, lol! He is anything BUT Tarzan.

No kidding!!!

I never vote on these shows, but I just went and threw five votes for Bethenny (I'm not willing to use my FB or Twitter accounts to add more votes).

Out of curiosity, I went and looked at the discussion board at ABC. Seems it's about 99.9999% of folks thinking Weir stepped out of bounds, is "immature" and oh so many other things.

I wonder if Jill is tweeting about Bethenney's skating?

No, Jill has been silent other than I think the very first week, she wished Bethenny good luck.

Bethenny hasn't said a word about the judging on her Twitter for at least 2 weeks. Even then it was nothing more than what she has said on the show, that she doesn't care about the judges...she's having a great time.

Being a long-time figure skating fan.....Johnny Weir has ALWAYS annoyed me. Have never cared for his nasty attitude and general "oddness".

What exactly did he say to Bethenny?

I admit, I stand alone. I like Johnny Weir! He's the only reason I watch this dumb show, to see how outrageous he will be this week. The show, though, really is crap and should never come back. The first one, a few years ago, had better celebs, better pros and better judges. (not to mention the scandal of the married skater having an affair with his celeb, who are now married and have a child of their own, I believe) If they're going to have a decent show like this, they need to all start on a level playing field (experience-wise). That definitely isn't the case here.

Anyway, the show sucks but I agree with Johnny's comments. If I were a judge and the person didn't really listen to my advice each week, I'd get a big attitude and say "fine, if you don't want to hear it, I won't bother saying it," too! I didn't know Bethany before the show, so maybe not knowing her background is what's keeping me from picking her side...?

As a "professional", he needs to rise above things. And...just what was so offensive about what she said? She is in it for FUN, not to impress judges. He needs to get over himself, he isn't all that. In fact, he's an immature egomaniac.

It's what all the weaker dancers in DWTS, weaker singers in AI, ... say. They know they're not going to get great scores on skill levels so they concentrate on enjoying themselves, having a learning experience and dancing/singing/skating for their fans. I don't see anything different in what Bethenny said to what many others have said before her. I think Johnny has "issues."
