udg 3038 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 08-16-07, 03:02 PM (EST) "If only... thread" What do you wish had happened differently this season? Here are mine: More mixing up the couples early on. Some people got "stuck" with a really good/popular or really bad/unpopular partner who significantly influenced their odds of staying on the show. They don't need to draw new partners every week, but it would have been nice to see them do a total reshuffle once or twice during the first half of the season. Specifically: I really wish we'd gotten to see Hok (YAY!) with someone other than Jaimie (puke!). I know her solos were gorgeous, but I never got the feeling that Jaimie was a very good partner. Plus, every time she opened her mouth, I wanted to throw things at my TV. In the finale, I really, really, really wish that Danbra had drawn the Viennese Waltz and Sabra/Niel the Lindy Hop. The Danbra ChaCha was OK, but I think their VWaltz would have been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I also think that Sabra's size would have made the many Lindy lifts a bit less awkward (I felt sorry for Niel heaving Lacey around).

"RE: If only... thread" I like your idea of mixing up the dance partnerships more, earlier on. Even tho' Neil had to heave Lacey around, I don't think Sabra could have done the parntership steps anywhere near as well as Lacey. The height difference between Sabra and Danny would have been a huge detriment to the routine.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

SilverStar 6205 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-16-07, 03:51 PM (EST) 2. "RE: If only... thread" Plus, I don't think that Lacey is really that much bigger than Sabra. During their dance together, I thought they were pretty much the same size. Lacey might be an inch or two taller and she is a little curvier, but they both looked tiny to me. Flashy moves by Tribe!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

JessicaRN 1070 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 08-16-07, 04:52 PM (EST) 3. "RE: If only... thread" I wished that the scolding that Nigel gave the choreographers a few weeks ago about holding back based on what they thought about the individual contestants would have happened in the pre-show planning. Although some dancers would have floundered earlier, I think the show got tremendously better after that. Also, maybe rotate Mary in and out also. I forget, has she always been the permanent judge? She definitely favors the ballroom dancers.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

qwertypie 9721 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-16-07, 05:30 PM (EST) 4. "RE: If only... thread" LAST EDITED ON 08-16-07 AT 05:35 PM (EST) This year is the first time she was a permanent judge. I am glad there is someone advocating for the ballroom dancers as Mia certainly holds them in contempt. ETA - Oh, and minimum standards -- ie a viennese waltz should be a viennese waltz, rather than the crap spanish thing Toni Redpath tried to do. And the ballroom/latin dances sh ould have a minimum amount of time they are in partnership. Oh and ban Toni Redpath and Alex da Silva from choreographing   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dragonflies 8051 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-17-07, 07:52 AM (EST) 14. "RE: If only... thread" That is my only complaint. When they call a dance a waltz, or a fox trot, or rumba, it should have at least 1/2 the song actually dancing those dances steps. They do it for the other styles, why not the more formal ones! Tribe danced me! Thanks again for the siggie Tribe! I loved wearing it!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: If only... thread" LAST EDITED ON 08-16-07 AT 06:44 PM (EST) I would like to see them stop pimping choreographers. The choreographer is important obviously, because when left to their own devices some dancers totally tank in their solos. But why do we have to endure Nigel and Mary stroking and tongue bathing these people after every damned dance? Last night they even did log pan shots of all those choreographers sitting in the audience. Enough already! This is supposed to be about the contestants, not choreographers who have already made it in the business. I just wanted to add agreement with Qwerty. The dances should be accurate - not some hybrid that disguises a dancers weakness. Partner dances like Pasa Doble, Latin, Tango, waltz -- these dances are designed for partners to actually stay connected. They have to be connected with each other from the eyes right down to the feet. I have never waltzed with someone and suddenly busted out to do a dancers version of a drum solo. Cut it out, and do the dance the way it is supposed to be done! Dancers who sign up for this show should know that they are going to have to learn new styles, that's part of the process.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Sunny_Bunny 5581 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-16-07, 07:16 PM (EST) 7. "RE: If only... thread" How about this for the newest "fad" for wedding receptions: Bride and groom in traditional wedding garb, take the floor for their first dance. It's a lovely waltz, where they one - two - three and glide across the floor. Suddenly, they separate, look lovingly at each other and join their families, each on opposite sides of the dance floor, and... let the wedding krump begin! On the other hand, any animosity between inlaws might just get out in the open and taken care of before the newlyweds leave for their honeymoon...   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

But in this new "improved" way of dancing wherein the dance does not follow the guidelines, but assimilates other styles, it becomes more than just a fashion statement, it becomes a social statement as well.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: If only... thread" I'd like to see them announce the winner with more time in the show. There is no pay off for the viewers, no chance to enjoy the momen. We get the winner announced, then confetti flies as the credits roll! Everyone but the top 2 get a "greatest moments" clip and some face time. I'd have loved to see a Danny's greatest moments, and then a really nice long montage of Sabra's greatest moments.

Sagebrush Dan 9824 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-23-07, 10:31 AM (EST) 22. "RE: If only... thread" Yeah, I felt cheated at the end, too. Sabra should have had about five minutes of it, and we could enjoy it with her, too. I agree with a lot of the above statements, especially on the point of making the dances harder earlier on, and actually paying attention to the rules of the dance. They need the judge from DWTS that is always harping on that. Also, try dressing the dancers in something other than black. Yeah, I know, there were plenty of exceptions, but I really got tired of black clothes and dreary sets. And shoot Nigel and Whats-her-name for that awful awful awful awful awful awful awful "dance" they did together. Give that time to Sabra, you jerks!

MKitty 2975 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 08-25-07, 00:08 AM (EST) 25. "RE: If only... thread" I totally agree. I just watched it on tape last night as I was on holiday...and was really cheezed off that I we didn't get to hear Sabra talk or anything..and what about Danny??? just shoved off with no thank you as well? Too weird..they definately need to fix that. Somebody should write to the show and suggest that one for sure!! I also wish they had been able to switch partners more frequently in the beginning as good dancers wouldn't always get stuck with the same bad partner for week after week.
