Okay, I don't watch this show, but I know of it. Are they running out of has-beens that need some extra cash or are trying to let the viewing audience know they're still alive? I thought they had actors and athletes and generally more well-known personalities? Jerry Rice was on this show, so was Emmitt Smith, but this is how far ABC is reaching into the bottom of the barrel? 

I mean, seriously, I know none of these people outside of Suni Lee.

I do have questions, though. WT exact F is a "professional stationary bike rider," or a "ponytail afficiando?"

Someone's parents being in jail makes them a TV personality? Or the fact they date "lots of women?"

It should be re-titled "Jumping the Shark With the Stars." Better yet, just "Jumping the Shark" because there are no fugging stars here.

Cody is my peloton dude. He is great. Also former pro dancer

This thread should be combined with the “Who’s life sucks and wants to make some money” thread.

DWTS is mostly wholesome family entertainment. It used to be a laugh riot with Erin Andrews as co-host with Tom Bergeron, but sadly they were relieved of their duties.   

As Tom would often say:  mock everything about the show that you want (the costumes, theming, dance choices, etc) , but not the effort put in by the performers.

The Miz was better in week 1 than expected.

as always, it’s pretty easy to figure out whose going to stick around towards the end of the season.

Carrie Ann may need to double up on the double sided sticky tape, she’s thisclose to popping out

[PanthersATL]

My prediction: Martin Kove will be first out.  A paso with no cape work? That's just crazy talk.   I know he's 75, but still...

General DTWS Rule: Never mock the *effort* put into the dance, but everything else is fair game (choreography choice, costume design, sets/props, the excessive amount of confetti every performance, bad camera shots, boob grabs [intentional/unintentional], etc)

Also: Tyra needs to go.

[Jon Snow]

I don't watch that sh*t.

[Mr. Scot]

Used to watch. Stopped when they fired Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews.

Tyra Banks is annoying as hell.

[PanthersATL]

it's either lazy teleprompter script writers, or Tyra and the other DWTS producers not having a clue...

but Amanda Kloots was NOT dressed as Jigsaw last night.

She was dressed as Billy the Puppet. Identifying the characters of a 9-film franchise is kind of a big detail to get wrong 


the other performances were pretty decent. the halloween episode is always worthwhile.
