Mike_v 5 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-01-06, 09:32 PM (EST) "If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." When Len used the word 'funky' to describe Emmitt's style, he should have said 'clunky' or 'monkey' instead. There's more to dancing than swiveling your hips. He still moves like a football player. 100% popularity and ZERO talent. Who did he pay off to get this far?   Top

mistyrose52 795 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 11-01-06, 10:07 PM (EST) 1. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." I agree, to a point. I think he's actually better than Jerry Rice was, and he came in second last year!! He does have a certain charm, and I know that it is getting him further than he should have gotten by now. He also has a HUGE following from sports lovers. If Mario doesn't win, something is seriously wrong. With Joey coming in second. But things have been off since the first season when John O'Hearly was allowed to take Kelly Monaco's trophy. So, I guess, on this show, anything goes.......   Top

Mike_v 5 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-02-06, 04:20 PM (EST) 13. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." In his second dance this past Wednesday, he basically stood in one place and let his partner do everything. Tucker Carlson did more in his first dance and got kicked off the next day. It's not Emmitt's charm and personality that stand out, it's his ego. He is so in love with himself.   Top

Sagebrush Dan 10002 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-02-06, 01:59 AM (EST) 3. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." He has loads of charisma, and that's what has kept him on. I agree. Should have been sent home a long time ago. He definitely did not deserve a 10. He is blessed with an oustanding partner who is doing all of the work. Sorry to see Monique go.

finallytyping 401 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 11-02-06, 02:11 AM (EST) 4. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." So, are the celebrity male dancers better dancers than the celebrity female dancers or are the professional female dancers better than the professional male dancers? I think being able to teach is a huge factor in this, and being able to read their partner's ability. Monique's partner tried to get her to dance beyond her ability and maybe that is why the final female celebrity is gone. Her partner must have had the "My Fair Lady" ego (sorry to be vague- I saw the musical but am too tired right now to remember the name of the leading male character.) I think Cheryl must be a fantastic teacher. Not everyone who can dance, can teach, and not everybody who can teach, can dance (within reason.)   Top

I never put any depth in the dynamics of who stays and who goes and why......but I think there is merit to the suggestion that the female pros can teach better. But....I also believe that there is a HUGE popularity component as well. I mean....I even wanted Jerry Rice over Stacy Keebler knowing full well that Stacey far exceeded Jerry in dancing ability. Mind you.....I wasn't interested enough to vote...but I felt that Stacey just wasn't warm. Jerry was. Enjoyed your post and incite!   Top

frodis 4442 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 11-02-06, 10:16 AM (EST) 6. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." The leading man character in My Fair Lady is Professor Henry Higgins. I agree that being able to teach is a big factor in this. I actually think Monique's partner Louis is a very good teacher, as shown by her vast improvement in the competition. Part of being a good teacher is knowing when to push your student beyond what they *think* they can do, and I really think Monique did a lot more than she might have imagined when she signed up for this gig. Part of it, too, in this competition, is being a good choreographer and knowing how to choreograph the dance so that it shows off your partner's abilities and hides his or her weaknesses. I think Cheryl is quite good at this aspect of it. I think Emmitt is probably the weakest dancer right now, but he manages to look so good doing it. As for who is better, the celebrity males or the celebrity females, I think if you look at the roster from the begining of the season you can see that the males started with a bit of an advantage in pre-existing talent, as well as name recognition (to me, anyway.) Also, if the primary audience for this show appreciates hot, muscley men, that's who's going to get the votes, too.

I think Emmitt is probably the weakest dancer right now, but he manages to look so good doing it. Agreed. Unlike Monique, he dances within his limits, so he looks effortless and calm doing it. And that's his secret. Bless Monique for stretching beyond her comfort zone, but it backfired on her. The hills are alive with the sigs of Tribe.

jaytae2 2 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 11-02-06, 10:57 AM (EST) 7. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." I feel that way about all the guys. The women were far better, but it was biased from the beginning. They should have given the trophy to Mario in the first week, we all know that he's the judges favorite to win. It's unfortunate that the judges were so unfair, Mario probably would have won on his own merits, but the way the judges set him and the others up, it really takes the joy out of it for me. I won't watch next season.   Top

leesa 30 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 11-02-06, 11:45 AM (EST) 8. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." I think Emmitt is the most genuine. He DOES have talent, he's a superbowl champ and the NFL's All Time Leading Rusher. He may not be the best dancer in the competition but he exudes class. I think that's all that matters. So don't hate the player, hate the game.   Top

JessicaRN 1112 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 11-02-06, 01:37 PM (EST) 10. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." Also, the male celebrities have to learn how to lead. I realize that their partners know where to go without needing to be led, but they have to make it at least look as if the men are leading and not the other way around, which is not so easy. I actually think the final 3 should all be here and I think the quality of dancing this season has been really high and enjoyable. (Can't stand to watch the shows without a fast forward button thought!)   Top

I think you're missing the point... the show is not called "Exuding Class With The Stars", it's "DANCING With The Stars". His being a Superbowl champ has nothing to do with this competition.   Top

iltarion 1791 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 11-02-06, 04:45 PM (EST) 15. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." LAST EDITED ON 11-02-06 AT 05:01 PM (EST) Exactly right. Emmitt being a class act and a champ, which he is both, should not be why someone votes for him to win this. If so, then they can do away with all this dancing. I don't agree AT ALL that the women this season were better than the men and at a disadvantage. Actually, my biggest problem with this season would be the women and how disappointing they were. Stacy and Lisa were both better dancers than any woman in this season. Monique was clearly the only woman who belonged in the final 4. I actually think the women have an advantage in that most the dances showcase THEM and not the men. The man may have to lead but the woman does the majority of the dancing. I thought Stacy took full advantage of that last season. Of course, she didn't win; two men made the final 2 instead. So maybe the men either have an advantage with a majority of women voting, or maybe these particular men were just more popular to begin with. Either way, it has nothing to do with the judges. The judges all but declared Stacy as good as the pros, and yet she didn't win. They only have so much control. Two 30s on Tuesday from the judges wouldn't have stopped Monique from going home. It all comes down to the vote.   Top

"No, it's Dancing with the STARS" >I think you're missing the point... >the show is not called >"Exuding Class With The Stars", >it's "DANCING With The Stars". > His being a Superbowl >champ has nothing to do >with this competition. WIth all due respect, you are missing the point -- Emmitt Smith is the ONLY one who qualifies as a "STAR" (albeit a football star) -- Mario Lopez and Joey Lawrence are more like "people you kind of recognize" then "stars." Lets be real here, if Emmit wins (and I actually don't care who does -- I watch because I enjoy the dancing but don't vote) then he will be the ONLY real "star" to ever win this thing in three seasons. I do agree with whoever said Cheryl is a good teacher and choregrapher -- she really knows how to design the routines to show off her partner's abilities. IMO, though, Louis (Monique's partner) was the best DANCER of all the professionals. I also agree that the judges obviously have wanted Mario Lopez to win since day one -- kind of not fair, but, really, does it make that big a difference? Mario has received the benefit he hoped this show would give him (ie, revive his tepid tv career); Emitt had a career without this show, and he'll have one after. He seems to be the only one left who came on the show to "learn" to dance and not "revive" his career -- I think a lot of the viewing public have responded favorably to that, and if they want to vote for him to win, so be it. This isn't exactly the Nobel prize here.   Top

Well, for me Mario and Emmitt are the hottest two. Joey, at times, looks more forced. To say Emmitt isn't a good dancer and to compare him to a monkey, is to me, a bit racist. It a Tribe original!!!   Top

I would have played the same "card". Since when was calling someone black a "monkey" acceptable on these boards? I am not sure how he meant it (with the anger toward Emmitt in the original post), but to use that in an attempt to rhyme is poor taste at best.   Top

LAST EDITED ON 11-15-06 AT 00:51 AM (EST) Like Nogwart, I have to gag at the immediate assumption that the use of the word "monkey" as an analogy for the way Emmitt has a tendency to dance just HAS to have a racial connotation to it!! I'll probably get my butt chewed by others on this board for my opinion, *sigh* but opinions are what this board is for, and IMHO, people need to stop looking for a reason to get p*ssy!! Who are we to know what was in the person's mind when they posted their opinion here? ESPECIALLY since there was even an explaination for why that word was used, because it rhymed with "clunky" or "funky"...whatever the word, it drives me BANANAS (*snicker* bananas....monkey....c'mon, take a joke!!) that people jump to the conclusion that it was meant to have racist undertones. If Joey Lawrence had gotten to the finals and done a country line dance type routine to what is commonly referred to as "Honkey Tonk" music, would people be on here screaming about the use of the word "Honkey" in reference to a white guy? I think not.   Top

I think next week should be based on the judges decision only, considering their votes matter.   Top

Well I don't think we'll know if he "blows him away" will we. I totally agree that Mario is far the superior dancer. But Emmitt, being a large man, is also quite good. There are no dancers I'm aware of that come the size of a running back. With that said, I think he's deserving of the finals. Joey was good, but I preferred watching Mario and Emmitt. I hope Mario wins, with Emmitt second! It a Tribe original!!!   Top

Most responses have been with a little class void of the racist remarks. I dislike Mario but he does have more experience than Emmitt;However, I believe this is a popularity contest and although Mario may be a better dancer I woudn't be surprised if Emmitt wins due to his effort through out this and of course his personality!!!   Top

I totally agree that although both final teams were enjoyable to watch (minus the "Can't Touch This" routine with the horrid outfit on poor Cheryl) Mario is by far the superior dancer, and can rival Emmitt any day in the smile dept!! That being said, I hope Mario and Karina win, although I wouldn't be crushed to see Emmitt and Cheryl win, because Cheryl certainly deserves it for her pure talent, and the ability to translate that talent into teaching..... since it's obvious that Mario had way more natural talent for dance to start with than Emmitt did.   Top

That clearly shows the problem with this format when people say they are voting for Emmitt because of his personality. Again, why bother dancing at all?? The same thing occurs with American Idol as well. People just vote for their favorites, and that is sad. Emmitt is very good for a guy of his body type. He would make a decent winner even if he isn't quite as dance-skilled as Mario is. I would vote for Mario because he is the best dancer, but Emmitt wins this off his popularity unless most the Joey voters go over to Mario.   Top

Not that I expect either of them to really butcher anything, but if one gets much more criticism from the judges than the other, I think he's gonna lose.   Top

They need to revamp the voting process. Have the judges doing the voting off til the last three ot two contestants then bring in the public voting. Look what happened the very first season and the voting process, because of that they did a revamp. It needs to be done one more time. This last week I was suprised that Emmit got decent reviews from the judges because for the most part all he did was stand there and shake his bootie which imho is not dancing. And once again no female contestants in the finals.... Why?..... Because unlike the males who for the most part just stand there a female is the focal point who must learn a heck of a lot more moves than the male counterpart. Look at the last couple of weeks, if it the professional females that have done all the dancing and that is expected of the female contestants from day one, to be able to do the same. Seems a bit unfair and maybe that portion also needs to be revamped. Longs they keep the same format a male contestant will always win.   Top

Or it could just be because the demos watching the show want to see males more than females...and letting judges have the say will likely lower ratings.   Top

LAST EDITED ON 11-10-06 AT 10:11 AM (EST) I agree Ashlane about the females having more to do Monique mentioned this in one of her confessionals how all the men do is dance around their partners and she has so much more to learn and do and was not recognized for it. also, this season the 2 finalists will dance to the same song and required to do the same dance. So the winner should be obvious based on that alone if only to the judges. It's still the popular vote that will win. Most people adore Cheryl and some like Karina however some think Karina is full of it but we'll see next week.   Top

OR it could be that people are voting for their favorite. Favorite star. Better dancer or not. I'm voting for Emmitt all the way and I think he will win this. I HOPE he will win because while Mario is absolutely cute he also can be absolutely annoying. Like I can't stand his accent, as if he's from the barrio, I bet he can't even speak spanish. blah! it makes me sick and I'm Hispanic. =(   Top

You must mean the accent that shows up every now and then, the one we've never heard from him until now? That accent? Yeah, it really annoys me, too.   Top

leesa 30 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 11-10-06, 01:26 PM (EST) 43. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." Yep, that's exactly the one!   Top

jenniferlyn 147 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 11-15-06, 00:24 AM (EST) 44. "RE: If Emmitt wins, something is seriously wrong." Just like the people complaining about how some of the votes are getting cast based on whether or not viewers like the competitor's looks, don't like the costumes, dislike the professional partners,....complaining about someone's accent (although I have to agree that it's reminicent of Madonna's "British" accent when she's from DETROIT) it should be about the DANCING!!! Regardless of how annoying someone is off camera, if people are going to vote based on those kind of qualities, it should be called "Voting on Which Star You Like Best"   Top

May be it is unfair,that female have to show more,and have be brighter, howewer I think women were a little bit weaker any way, they moved slower, and didn't seem efordless.   Top

If you really looked at the last ep. and judged based on ability and flexibility then it was clear that Emmitt had the looseness of the hips and won!   Top

Emit won because he came in with no prior dance training and succeeded better than anyone without prior training. Mario shouldn't have been on the show. Every clip I've seen of him, from previous shows, show him dancing. He was trying to play it down, saying he had no prior experience. The news in Houston interviewed his sister the first night he danced, and she was braging about how he had prior training in all sorts of dancing and was favored by the critics to win!! If you want to blame anyone, blame the producers for bringing someone on the show with that much prior training. EMMIT WAS THE TRUE WINNER BECAUSE HE DID THE BEST WITH RAW TALENT in a short period of time. I also highly recent you referring to him as a monkey!! You must be a no rymthm white boy! Don't hate, appreciate!   Top
