  • They will next season when that is the only work he can get.

• “PSYCHO” MIKE CATHERWOOD is hot and funny! Maybe I will actually watch this season.

  Probably not

  • How is Psycho Mike going to juggle Kevin and Bean, DWTS, and Loveline? I don’t think the guy sleeps as it is.

• WOW. Talk about jumping the shark.

• Good Grief! Why bother. David Palmer is right. They should have gone for Charlie Sheen. That would have made for good tv.

• First to be eliminated: Wendy Williams! She can’t dance! She’s huge!

  • @ The Truth, but she has a huge amount of fans to vote for her.

• Seriously. You’re Nikki Finke and you don’t know who Ralph Macchio and Petra Nemcova are? I’m not saying it’s the most stellar cast, but I’d say they scraped the bottom of the barrel when they got David Hasselhoff, Michael Bolton, and Palin on last season.

  • Thank you……I must be at the bottom of the barrel because I know who all of the “stars” are! They may not be the best; however, after that Palin girl last season, EVERYONE is a star in my book.

• What, the dark-haired guy from “The Dukes of Hazzard” was unavailable?

• Kirstie Alley is a obese scientologist freak. “Dancing With The Stars” is truly scraping the bottom of the barrel!

• “Kirstie Alley, the Hindenburg with three chins …”.

  Run with it!

  • What a cruel and un-necessary comment! Even though Kirstie is a large woman (compared with the otherladies in this competition) it hasn’t hampered her talent as a dancer, and that’s what this show is supposed to be about! Thank goodness the people who vote online recognize her talent and have kept her in this show based on her ability!

• Why is kristy there? she was acting like she was not comfortable being there on the couch as they introduced everyone. Ralph walks on his toes,he will be tough, wendy looks like a drag queen..lol.. too manly.. Im getting sick of watching football players dance… this is going to so boring

• I bet someone told her that she could lose weight dancing if she doesnt get voted off too soon. I think she could be good if she were lighter

• The bottom will be reached when Charlie Sheen dances the light fantasic on that show.

• Team Macchio.

  Jeez, I think Kirstie Alley’s the only female on the list I’ve heard of.

  Wendy Williams? Was she the one from those exploitation flicks about 30 years ago?

  Comment by John — Monday February 28, 2011 @ 11:09pm PST  Reply to this post

  • No, you’re thinking of the late Wendy O. Williams, former lead singer and chainsaw-wielding car exploder of the Plasmatics.

• I love this show. Make fun all you want. I can’t even imagine how this season will pan out. I was super surprised over Kirstie Alley. She’s bigger than Kyle from last season.

• Sheesh – I think you wrote this exact same post for the last three seasons. Just as in criticising the Oscars, or the Super Bowl half time show or the latest edition of Saturday Night Live – no one can really remember how these shows actually work. DTWS has never been about “stars” – and I swear you didn’t know who Kyle Massey was either – and he came in second and everyone loved him. As George Constanza says “that’s the show!”

  Seriously, you don’t know who Sugar Ray, the Karate Kid, Kendra (she has her own show), Kirstie are – to name a few? Hines Ward is a very famous football player. And they got friggin’ Sugar Ray Robinson? That’s pretty good. And a number of hot bodies to keep us interested.

• Ralph Macchio is gonna be on DWTS, and I already know how it’ll end. Kirstie Alley will sweep the leg, but he’ll win using the crane stance. -@celebyoutaunt

• Kirstie Alley? Lucky the show is filmed in widescreen!

• OMG– it should be called “Dancing with the WTF”. I mean where are they digging these people up from ? There isn’t one star here . enough with the sports figures . Who are these people ? Guess this is the last season

• I think I speak for all sane TV viewers in America when I say: “Why is there any…ANY…interest in this show whatsoever?”

  Oh yeah. The over 65 demo that remembers ballroom dancing. A valuable sales tool there, boy.

• As opposed to the A-list, high brow talent they’ve had previously?

• seriously, they were stupid enough to kow-tow to the Scientologist culties and hire Kirstie the Hutt? did they even read the New Yorker article by Lawrence Wright?
