Dancing with the Stars - Season 20

Starts tonight. Anyone else watching?

Early thoughts.....

I will miss Cheryl Burke and also Max.

Robert Herjavec - I like him on "Shark Tank". A little surprised to see he's doing this show. Kym will be a great partner.

Patti LaBelle - we know she can sing. As far as dancing, she'll probably last a while....huge fanbase.

Suzanne Somers - will probably do well. She's kind of polarizing, though.
 

We always watch it anyway but for sure will tonight as we know Suzanne Somers and her family personally. Suzanne and I grew up in the same town south of San Francisco and she used to date my brother in law in high school. She went to a private girls high school but transferred to ours as a senior. Her sister and brother in law are longtime family friends of hubby`s family and we have fixed many of the entire family`s cars over the years.

Interesting! I've heard Suzanne talk about being from San Bruno.

I remember the brouhaha over salary on "Three's Company". But she later did really well (Thighmaster and Buttmaster) and many other projects.
 

Yes,I always thought she blew it with the Three`s Company thing. I think her popularity went to her head a bit. I first saw her (before I actually met her) in our high school play Guys and Dolls. Walter Winchell was actually there that night to see her as he was a friend/acquaintance of our drama teacher. Suzanne had an affair with this teacher (yuck) either during high school or right after. That`s not gossip,it`s in her book," Keeping Secrets." He was pretty gross-always had alcohol on his breath. His name still gets brought up a lot when those of us who went to school there get together. But she was determined to become an actress and did whatever she needed to do in those days to accomplish her goal. Of course,back then none of us really knew just how awful her home life was-if it was,in fact,as awful as she says in her book.
 
Supposedly Suzanne was making Larry Hagman/JR Ewing salary demands. Wonder if Joyce DeWitt will be in the audience....(not). No love lost between them. Aside from the L'Eggs pantyhose commercials I don't recall Joyce doing much. IIRC she produced a TV movie about the Three's Company experience. And I can't believe it's been over 10 yrs since John Ritter died.

ETA: I found this in wiki:
DeWitt appeared on Suzanne Somers' talk show, Suzanne Somers: Breaking Through, during which she and Somers reminisced about their time on Three's Company together, Somers apologized for the conflict that arose between them, and they exchanged anecdotes about the last time they each spoke to John Ritter.

(I didn't know Suzanne had a talk show.)
 
Patti was okay. Overscored a bit.

Charlotte/Keo were underscored.

Robert was good.

Chris Soules was very good.

Suzanne was okay.

btw Redfoo's father is Berry Gordy Jr., (Motown founder).
 
I just happened to come across DWTS, didn't know it was on so glad I didn't miss it.
I have no idea who will get eliminated next week but I do think they should have two weeks
before anyone gets bumped.
One dance does not seem enough to judge anyone.
 
I was in and out of the room while watching it, so I didn't see everyone. My complaint is that DWTS in the beginning had all big names that almost everyone knew. Maybe I just don't get out much, but I often ask 'who is that?". Anyhoo, I think the top three were these guys, in this order.

Rumer Willis
Robert H. (from Shark Tank)
Michael Sam

I like Patti and Susanne, but they both fell short for me, seems neither of them put much movement into their dances. Still hope neither gets eliminated.
 
I think Suzanne has got to go. She can't dance and she looks awful.
Patti L.-----yeah her name will keep her there for awhile no doubt....
Robert I don't think can dance either.....he is kind of goofy. don't do a thing for me.
And Rumer Willis....well with mom and dad seated in the audience the judges will be scared lol lol lol
I was surprised to se My guy Derek!!!! He wasn't supposed to hang up his dance shoes for acting. So glad he came back. Now that boy can dance!!! ALL the girls can.(Pro's of course) Val is good but he hangs the girly's too much. Mark B. like those funky themes. Tony is real good too ...............ugh...it is just too early to tell really. But Sommers has got to go.
 
I think Suzanne has got to go. She can't dance and she looks awful.

I disagree. I think the outfits and song choice were terrible for her. With a good song and costume, I think she can go further by just upping her game and working hard...although I don't ever see her winning this competition. As far as looks, I think she looks great from the neck down, but I wish she didn't get the face work done, she was already pretty to begin with. Not many stars look better after botox and plastic surgery, IMO. They should leave well enough alone, and embrace their maturity.
 
Well, of course the costumes and music make a big difference , but you are right she should have left her face alone. All of them should...can't they see it makes them look worse? They can't be blind for goodness sake. But I guess when you have so money you don't know what to do with you spend it on frivolous things as that just because all the stars are doing it. You know who really really made a mess of himself is Wayne Newton.......oh my goodness he is spooky to look at , he looks like a manikin and Jenner is just plain stupid. lol lol lol
 
I agree Wayne looked terrible.

I'm kinda tired of hearing Suzanne chirp about how happy her husband is in the bedroom. She's been doing that schtick for YEARS. TMI.
:badgirl:
 
Last week I think that Patti and Susanne both improved, but neither of them can win this. I still think the best was Rumer Willis, we'll see how things go tonight. :)
 
Yes you are right I agree. I am Glad the Redfoo or what ever his name was, lol foo oh my, guy is gone too (though he dances better than Patti and Susanne in the one dance). Rumer is really good. But like I said if you had Bruce lookin' at ya you better give her a good score lol lol lol lol She really looks like her mom
 
Darn, I wanted Keo to go further. At least he's still with the troupe.

Saw sharks Lori & Kevin in audience to support Robert.

I don’t like the way whenever Noah gets minor criticism the audience reacts with outright fury. It’s supposed to be a level playing field. He was WAY overscored.

Patti and Suzanne were 'okay'.
 
Charlotte had a me, me , me problem. I knew she was gonna go home. And I think she wanted to too she was rude with the cell phone thing at practice and that swayed the judges too. She didn't want to be there......
Yeah I know Redfoo's dad founded the Motown.
I just can't handle Suzanne,,,,don't know why. She keeps I am 68......but she isn't the oldest woman that has ever danced on DWTS. The rest were ok ...I not keen on Mark's get ups though. He is into that dressing up stuff and doing weird dances.
But the judges were scoring really stupid tonight...... kind of makes ya wish you could talk through the tv...lol lol lol
 
I only watched the first hour last night, watched the Justin Beiber roast on cable after that. So I have no idea who went home.
 
Charlotte went home. She needed too. Like I said she was all about me me me . She was very rude to her partner in rehearsal too. All she could think of was her email. They made the right call on that one last night but let me tell you they sure were scoring stupid!
