Me too.  I hope he is good.  I am worried though about his foot work.  Amy had her knees, but he was amputated above the knee on his leg.  To me, that may be harder...I don't know.  Also, with only one arm, Sharna is going to have to choro moves that don't have "hand" grabs unless it is with his other arm.  I KNOW she can do it and I hope that they go far in the season.

 Oh, I know....it will be a big challenge for her....or for any potential pro partner.  Does he not have a prosthetic arm??

Yay....it's here :o) sooooooo excited for the new season to start :o) wahooo!!!!!


So I'm a bit bummed still no ultimate man crush monday Matt Bomer (maybe next season?) and my dream of seeing Tara Lipinski AND Johnny Weir still hasn't happened.....but needless to say I am PUMPED UP!!!!!


I hope I don't get heck on the board for this but I will be rooting for Nastia and Derek.  I have been hoping for Nastia to be on the show for a while so I will be rooting for her unless someone else catches my eye.  I didn't know Derek was coming back.  Maybe Nastia said the only way she'd do dancing is if she could be partnered with Derek....you never know.

So Whitney is the last person to be paired up and is rumored to be with Chris Soules??  I am not a fan of his so I will not be voting for him.

Hi Carrie!!!!  I'm so excited for this season too   I thing Tony and Suzanne could be a good couple and I like Nastia too......I think one of my fav's is going to be Emma and Red Foo.....I like Val and Rumor ....LOL......well I like several of them this season........but I really wish we'd have gotten Johnny too....LOL

April - Johnny and Tara next season for sure.....I'll have to tweet to DWTS and work on it.  I'm still working on getting Derek Jeter and Roy Halladay.

Was Red Foo a guest judge last season or Meryl's season?  He looks familar.

OH yeah Rock Anthem night......the crab comments to Candace  and Et comparrisons to MNM .....LOL........he is really kind of out there.....but he can be serious about rehersals too.....and shyness is not a problem for him....LOL

Just a quick pop in to see whats up before supper.......and what do I find?  Carrie !!!! lol

I actually liked Derek until season 18, then it was just MnM for me. lol (and I could begin to see some repeated steps/over use of props and such which continued through season 19)  I am surprised that he is back this season as it was said all over the place that he would not. He is good, I give him that, but was kind of looking forward to a break from him.   I like Nastia, so if she is good, I have no problems. lol  I am not going to pick a favorite until I see them dance for a few weeks.  Who knows who will catch my eye. lol

hahaha yup....it's me :o) glad to catch you for a little Luv - It's PLL tonight so I won't be on after 8!!!!!!!

have they said anything more about Janels character????

Awwww.....that is great, Booky! I am always partial to the vets so I also hope he will do well with Sharna. Forgot the name of the vet who won it some seasons back.....I almost have his name in my brain. Mom was Chinese/Thai/Korean (?), Dad left them, he never considered himself disabled. Rodriguez, Martinez, Fernandez...I think his last name ended in "ez". I loved that guy! He had such class--and last thing I saw about him he had gone on to do well for himself. Maybe a motivational speaker or something along those lines?

I have a lot of respect for Amy as well. She did an amazing job---and she's had a lot of work after dwts too. Did you see her as the Pace Car Driver at Daytona on Sunday??

JR......I think Martinez.  He was a regular on All My Children towards the end of the "soap series".

 
OH, that's right JR Martinez!!!  Thanks!!

Hi april - cute pic!!!!!!!

LOL.....Hi ,......I thought the mirror ball would be good for today    .....LOL.......with all the DWTS stuff today......and OMG!!!!!  I have E News on and they just said that with so many big names leaving they are pretty sure they couldn't afford to loose Derek so had to pony up and give him what he wanted to stay......WOW......I wonder if that's true??????  because if not that's really bad for them to say and could cause unfair backlash on Derek and Nastia.........

 
Hi, April....Hi, Carrie!!!

Oh....very interesting E News.....I really wondered why they brought him back. So does "giving him what he wanted" mean they gave him what they considered was a winning partner??!!!! It would appear so....but then we know that the best dancer doesn't always win!! Olympians, tho, are a cut above other contestants with their work ethic and competition experience.

The drama continues!!!

dun dun dun......lol
