Dancing with the Stars 2006

[gator8_24]

They are coming to southern Indiana in January the tickets run from 125.00 to 325.00

Guess the 'stars' require high salaries!  Seems rather high to me.

[Tara]

I don't know where she got those prices from. I saw some prices (depending on the stadium and where you sit) and I didn't see anything over 99.00.  O+O

Here is where you can see the price of the tickets, and yes they are very high but some people will pay to go see them

[Tara]

Yea thats to have them sent Fed Ex and stuff and they are cheaper at the ABC Dancing With The Stars website. That must be some other ticket company. The lowest price on that list is still ridiculous.

[nightperson]

yes, some are fed-x, but like you said still to high when you can watch them on tv, they have sold alot of the 325.00 for section 1,2,3,4 reserved seating and most of the lower part
alittle bit different price on the ABC web page even for the 115.00 the seating is way at the top you need O+O these to see really good

Ok yall, its the final week so make sure you get those votes in tonite!  lol  Will Emmitt win it??  I hope so!!!   <:>

[Tara]

It's probably gonna be Mario, but I'm just happy Emmitt made it to the final two.  Jerry Rice made it to the final two last year, but Emmitt is so much better than Jerry was , IMO.

[CindyLouWho]

I agree, Mario will probably win but I hope not but he is good.  They all have worked hard on the dancing & put lotta time into it tho.  Its been fun watching.

[Tara]

I never would of thought I would of liked this show, but I've been watching all 3 seasons. Ballroom dancing isn't my thing, but this is a good show.

[CindyLouWho]

Yes its a lot better show than I thought it'd be when it 1st started.  Ballroom dancing isn't my thing either but if I had a partner like Mario or 1 of those other hunky  guys, I 'd go learn it just so I could dance with em.  Better yet how bout learning dirty dancing with  Patrick Swayze?   :)))  :))

:o  :oo  :))

I know me too, but don't tell Homer.  :ll

[gator8_24]

Oh gosh this is nerve wracking!  Emmitt is doing the free style .  One thing I've noticed is that Mario seems to dance the same way every dance, the facial expression is the same etc. Of course I'm biased I want Emmitt to win!

[CindyLouWho]

Emmitt's dances were great!  I loved his free-style.  O0

[Tara]

What a good show it was, they both did good, but I did like Emmitt's freestyle better, but the judges liked Marios better. I didn't get any votes in on the phone...it was busy...busy..busy and then sometimes it wouldn't even ring. !@#$

Did you guys see Emmitts daughter when she got off the plane and said.."You have more fans than Mario"    :))

Their both good...I just want Emmitt and Cheryl to win.

The audience was friggen LOUD last night weren't they?  I could barely hear Samantha and dipstick (can't think of his name) talking at times. Which I really didn't miss out on much.  :))) Their kinda lame.

[gator8_24]

Yeah, I really enjoyed the show last night , I too tried to vote but couldn't get thru.  Think all of Gainesvile and die hard Gator fans have been voting for Emmitt. This season was so enjoyable I might pay the prices to see the road show!

[CindyLouWho]

I got my internet votes in but took a while.  Never did get thru to vote on the phone tho, was always busy. 

Yea that was funny when Emmitts daughter said that.   :)))

Well tonights the night!   :///  Go Emmitt Go   <..>

'Dancing With the Stars' tie goes to . . . you, the viewers
Hal Boedeker
Sentinel Television Critic

November 15, 2006

Mario was super. But Emmitt was Emmitt, which probably counts for more in the end.

The two finalists on Dancing With the Stars -- football legend Emmitt Smith and actor Mario Lopez -- performed vigorously Tuesday before an appreciative studio audience during a live telecast on ABC. The chatty judges tied the two men, with 89 out of 90 possible points, after critiquing each of their three performances.

That tie means the judges left the final decision to viewers who phoned in votes. The winner will be revealed in the finale at 8 tonight on WFTV-Channel 9. The show scores some of its highest ratings in Central Florida.

Which dancer is more popular? Smith's young daughter summed up the situation succinctly, telling her father: "You have a lot more fans than Mario."

Or as a reader put it Tuesday night in an e-mail explaining her support for Smith: "I'm always a sucker for the underdog. Plus, I enjoy his pure joy."

For sheer joy, however, it was hard to top Lopez in the final round. His freestyle performance with partner Karina Smirnoff was rousing, imaginative and sexy. The dance underscored Lopez's natural ease and versatility.

"The best dance I've seen all season," judge Carrie Ann Inaba raved. Judge Bruno Tonioli called the performance "a hit parade on the dance floor."

Smith's freestyle with partner Cheryl Burke was set to MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This." They attempted dangerous lifts that kept viewers in suspense. Inaba said she was scared by the lifts. Tonioli saw problems with one lift and knocked off a point.

In the first round, each couple danced a samba to Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke." Judge Len Goodman said Smith did not disappoint in any way. But Goodman penalized Lopez a point because the couple messed up the running promenade and got off on the wrong foot -- or something to that effect.

In that round, Inaba praised Smith for representing the everyday man who became a dancer. That observation could explain why he's likely to prevail this evening.

In the second round, Smith executed a lively mambo by shaking his shoulders and pelvis. In that dance, Goodman said he found everything he loved about the mambo.

Also in the second round, Lopez pulled off a highly theatrical pasodoble. Tonioli went gaga and called Lopez "the Latin thunderbolt." The judge also said Lopez was "a killer matador of the pasodoble." The comment didn't make a lot of sense, but Tonioli said it exuberantly.

In the end, the decision comes down to this: Lopez was the best dancer from the start. Smith was the most-improved dancer over the show's run. America loves the underdog. Look for Emmitt to collect the trophy tonight.

Hee!  Now I'm even more anxious with still 3 hours to go. I won't be upset if Emmitt doesn't win, but he worked his butt off to get where he was last night in his dancing. Mario already had it from the beginning. They're both good. I almost cried when Joey went home last week, and I wanted Emmitt to win then.

[gator8_24]

Sorry Hormer but I'm shouting joy!  :))

awww did I see Jerry dancing with Emmitt's oldest girl?

[CindyLouWho]
