The 'Dancing with the Stars' thread. Is no one else going to start it?

[Oakie]

I've been waiting ... hoping someone else would start this thread but it seems all are afraid of the scorn which comes from being the initiator. I don't give a shit now. There's only 3 more weeks to go. Scorn away!

What a travesty last night! Tigger ... gone! Wahhhh!
Still, don't matter in the long run as Tamati is the man.

*Oakie goes to hide under bed until the furore subsides*

[Trudes]

What a shocker!!!:eek5:

[twotyred]

What a shocker!!!:eek5:

Oakies "coming out" or the DWTS result?

[Trudes]

LOL, both!!!:mellow:

[Katman]

Can I put in a vote for Barbara?

:whistle:

[Gremlin]

Feeeeel the scooooorrrrrrnnnnnnn :laugh:

[AllanB]

Ah ha - I knew you'd be a Honda owner..........:laugh:


I must say the ability of the dresses to survive the dance and heavy breathing afterwards is most impressive.......:bleh:

[slofox]

As a "serious" ballroom dancer from way back, one who has competed for many years and indeed represented NZ on one occasion, I get fed up with the fact that DWTS is less a dance competition than a popularity poll. Last night's result is just one of many indications of this state of affairs. Look at how long certain double left footed klutzes (you know who I mean) have lasted in previous shows...I would rather see either a real dance comp or a popularity poll. Not this hybrid thingy we are fed. But then, this is a typical reaction of someone who follows any discipline in depth - the purist's view if you like. :rolleyes:

Having said that I do watch most episodes, although last night the VCR failed to ignite for some arcane reason and I have had to go without, buggritbuggritbuggrit. :angry2: I like to see just what some of celebs can do with minimal (albeit intensive) training. I have danced with and indeed against many of the pro partners over the years - in some cases watching them from childhood, so have a close interest in what they achieve with their untrained partners. I also watched one of the buggers rip off one of our steps in the Tango last week...:spanking:

Grizzles aside, I do enjoy it, although there are moments when I have to look away...:brick:

[Number One]

Have to agree with you Slofox.

I bet that Tamati will win in the popularity stakes.

IMO, Tamati and Barbara are the best dancers but that don't necessarily mean they will win.

I could also point out that it is much harder for the amateur man to look as good as the amateur woman...in principle, he leads, she follows, although there are many exceptions in practice. Just look at Stephano - he can make anyone look good...

Interesting I reckon the amatuer guys have it easier than the girls as the guys, although they need to lead are dancing with well skilled gals who could probably look good being led by a chimp and lets face it...you end up watching the chicks more anyway. The girls have to pull off way fancy and flouncyer (is that even a word - meh who cares) moves...SO unco chicks are more easily shown up than the unco guys I reckon.

Saying all this I actually haven't watched any of this season at all - so I have no idea who is on it (apart from Tamati and Rebecca who has now apparently gone) or how well any of them dance. :lol: Can't be bothered and Sully HATES the show with a vengeance

[oldrider]

The whole show has run it's course and should be dumped or renamed "Dancing with the Homo's"

It's not even entertaining anymore, even her indoors has had enough. :Pokey: John.

[Lilly2w]

The whole show was redeemed last night by the marvellous "come in my pants" comment and the ejection of that bouncing grinning fool, man I was sick of looking at her gums.

[BuFfY]

I was actually thinking of making a thread last night!

I love Josh, I loved him back in the day and I love watching him dancing. I do vote for him because of his attitude and how he is improving.

Barbara and Tamati are the main good dancers. The old bitch will go next week, which is kind of sad because she is rather entertaining.


Did anyone catch the show on after? Very strange NZ show!!



Go Josh!!

[Mully]

Dancing with the stars?? In NZ?

So it's more likely to be:

"Dancing with the Shortland Street/Former Shortland Street 'actors', a 'celebrity' (who no-one is actually sure how they became a celebrity) and at least one former international sports player, all desperately clinging to whatever 'fame' they once had from an adoring public. All slowly realising that their frantic hammering on the big red "attention" button is resulting in increasingly diminishing returns and that their 'careers' are circling the drain"

Sort of thing??

I think that anyone who admits they watch this show should automatically be infracted and banned for 6 months for bringing the 'biker image" into disrepute.

So tell us, O hairy chested Biker, just what is the "biker image" ?

And a lifetime motorcycle licence ban with it.

You are so right. That bird is mad. I think she needs to be put on some medication. Thank god she's gone.

[Lissa]

She annoyed the crap out of me, but she was one of the best dances there and at least she made the program interesting. As for the winner I think its going to be the Weather Man... (Not that I am admitting to watching DWTS) :laugh:

[enigma51]

Fucking honda riders

They keep posting gay shit on here

[Burtha]

I'm surprised you even looked at this thread then Tank, least of all posted to it .. hmmm :Pokey::msn-wink:

I watch it for the pretty dresses and the "come in me pants" comments.

I don't have to be hairy, phew! :sweatdrop

[Maha]

Have to agree with you Slofox.

I bet that Tamati will win in the popularity stakes.

He needs to up his daily dose of hey fever pills dont ya reckon??
Man, hes had that cold since he was 4 yrs old.

[Skyryder]

And your version too, while we're at it:wari:


Careful old son. This guy was caught watching Dancing with the Stars. It's a dangerouse programme for a biker to watch. Leads to colour blindness among other things.


Skyryder

[Storm]

Thats pretty brave of you to post photos from your last ride :bleh:

[Tank]

So tell us, O hairy chested Biker, just what is the "biker image" ?

1. I'm not hairy - I wax

2. Im not sure what the "biker image" but Im as sure as hell that it dosnt include tail suits or dressing in skin tight licra and dancing in front of some gay blokes.

[jim.cox]

dressing in skin tight licra and dancing in front of some gay blokes.

Maybe it does for Honda riders

[slofox]

Well as one of the (probably) few on here that both rides AND dances, I can tell all you doubters that there is a lot of similarity between the two disciplines.

Both require a partnership - either between a person and a machine or between two persons. Both work best when you work together not against each other - when you and your partner or bike become one in your movement. Both require balance, control and a degree of tone and relaxation in the body. Neither of them work if you are uptight and tense. Both require a degree of fitness to do well. Both require a mixture of physical and mental effort. You need to learn skills to do either. AND...both allow you to get up close and personal with something nice...and if you are lucky, you can get to partner many different models...hurhurhur. :devil2:

Whilst the bike doesn't argue and tell you you are wrong, it will let you know in no uncertain terms if you are wrong...(actually my partner does that as well come to think of it...:bash:)

I get a similar buzz out of either - there is the freedom of movement that comes from both, the body flight that either can convey - the sheer blast that that body flight engenders. Similar indeed.

I have always been a physically active person - I have played many different sports all my life from as young as I can remember. I can honestly say that competitive dancing requires more effort in training than any other discipline that I have ever participated in - even squash. It's more than just pure fitness - there is the effort required to work successfully together as well as the degree of difficulty of what you are trying to perform. We train five or six nights a week, between one and two hours per session. You have to be fit and I run ten pounds lighter when dancing than when not. In one night's competition we can dance as many as 48 times, (although usually only half that) each about 90 seconds long. The rate of effort is slower than that of a sprint race but close to that of a middle distance race - say a 400 metres. So you can't do it if you are not fit. It is not uncommon to sweat off two or three kilos in one night's competition. It sure helps keep middle age spread at bay...:apumpin:

To those that mock, I can only say try it before you judge it. You might be surprised... :blink:

[Number One]

Good on you slofox :sunny:

...I would add too that there are always ladies looking for male partners to take it up and they will FIGHT over you too!

So fellas if you want to meet some ladies - perhaps you could give dance a try..instead of NZ dating :shutup:

[stevewederell]

I'm still trying to find a clip of the "come in my pants" comment online, sounds gold. Girls at work nearly wet themselves telling me about it

[slofox]

Geez man - don't cheapen it :rolleyes: :lol:

It's not really original Number One...hehehe...I met an old dude at a new year dance once and he was telling me how he had been dancing for years just because he got to hold onto so many lovely young women......grubby old bugger!

Have you tried boxing, it's almost the same thing, only you are trying to punch the shit out of each other at the same time! (very tense)

I don't mind the dancing, it is just how many homo's are there in TV1 and TV2, it seems to be compulsary in order to be on their screens now!

They are making a mockery of dance on that show (IMHO) John.

[slofox]

Actually sometimes dance training sessions get close to that as well...:Pokey:
