The Official Hines Ward Dancing with the Stars Thread

[Psycho Ward 86]

Because we have nothing better to do in the offseason...and the lockout :chuckle:

looked decent tonight i'll say

[I-Want-Troy's-Hair]

Go Hines Go Hines Go Hines...

[stillers4me]

There's that number again. 7.....7.....7

[Butch]

He certainly had his game face on early but when it was time for the show he had that Signature Smile!!!

[HometownGal]

I thought he did great and deserved 8's instead of 7's.

[Kittyfish]

Actually, I was happy with 7s - a good solid start, with lots of room for improvement. The judges always like to see the dancers improve.

I must admit I haven't seen the entire show yet as Mr. Kitty had taken over the TV, but I did go back and watch Hines before going to bed. So although I can't say how he did relative to the others, I thought he did a very commendable job. Of course, I had already gotten my votes in - for those who might not know, you can vote at any point after the show begins and up to a half hour or so afterwards. (You can also vote online, but I don't, so can't speak to that.) The number will always be the same - 1-800-868-3403. Personally, I like to vote early when all the lines are still clear. Just saying...

Got a big kick out of seeing Franco waving his Terrible Towel, and will have to look for Jerome Bettis, who I understand was there as well. I heard what seemed like a lot of hoots and hollers for Hines - they couldn't all be from Franco and the Bus, so I got the impression he is pretty popular with the public, and hopefully will go far.

[Moose]

Hines got 66 votes from our house.....4 phones and 2 computer....11 each !! GO HINES !

[Moose]

I think Hines will probably have the most following because of the Steeler Nation and Steeler Universe, although it looks like Kirstey has some fans. Although the karate kid had some moves, I just don't see the votes mounting up like Hines is capable of having, the same with Kirstey who seems to be a favorite. Sugar Ray has some flexibility, but again, I just don't see the votes being more than Hines can get. It's definitely going to be a popularity challenge.......GO HINES !! He got 77 votes from our household.....4 phones 3 computers.....ugh, there's that 7 number again !!

[Moose]

Sorry for the extra post....the daughter voted with her laptop also !!

[Steelerone67]

Oh look at me im Hines Ward I can spin and twirl and boogey on down with the best of them LOL!

So below is the time and place for the next show and the "rankings" of the first show LOL at Christy Alley doing better then Hines, Jericho and Sugar Ray! Wow Hines should fell worse after that then he did after his concusion!

They dance again next week at 8 p.m. Monday on WFTV-Channel 9. The first ejection comes on the results show at 9 p.m. next Tuesday. Catherwood and Williams look to be in jeopardy after the first round. Here's how I rate them:

1. Macchio

2. Alley

3. Kane

4. Ward

5. Romeo

6. Wilkinson

7. Nemcova

8. Jericho

9. Leonard

10. Williams

[86WARD]

lol...WTF...lol.

Good job Hines...

[steeldevil]

I stopped watching after Hines went lol. I'm glad he went third.

[86WARD]

Franco in the stands...jeezus...lol.

[Mamaduck43]

Jerome was there - - sitting in an aisle seat in the 2nd row - - you can see his big smile and his hands clapping like crazy just after the dance is over when they are panning the audience - - before they zero'd in on Franco.... I really don't think that the producers and camera folk are really ready for the impact that Hines participation in the show is going to have on votes and ratings.... Not only is Hines a contestant, but he is a CONTENDER!!!!!!! He can win this thing...

I expected Macchio to do well, but Kirsty Alley really surprised me - - the only lead up hype about her was what a 'train-wreck' she was.... She was amazing, and Maks is the perfect partner for her... Talk about a magical 'booty'...... My goodness.......

I see that your a young ladie so im assuming you have watched the seasons of this show leading up to this one? Since you know that "Maks is the perfect partner for her" and idk who that is... but is he the one with the magical "booty" or Alley? J/W LOL

[Merchant]

Damn.. Hines killed it. He's taking this thing

[Butch]

Didn't anyone else see that big ole cowboy hat behind Franco??? If I aint mistaken wasn't that the other Steeler who has a rule named after him??? I don't think my eyes were decieving me.

[Mamaduck43]

Oh, for sure, it is Maks with the magical booty, and abs, and smile and many other talents... I have watched every season of DWTS, and this one has the possibility of being one to remember!!!! I have always rooted for the NFL guys - - and even got to sort of like Chad Johnson last season - he was humble, and had some great moves and a great partner in Cheryl...

The Pro dancers have their own fan bases and followings... Kym was Warren Sapp's partner and took him to the finals, but he didn't have the basic talent and ability to do the moves that Hines has... Jason Taylor was amazing (and ended up in 2nd place) - his success, in my opinion, was based on his magnificent posture and long lines in holds and positions.... Emmett Smith was an absolute delight - partnered with Cheryl Burke - he did an amazing 'freestyle' in the finals that pushed him over the top - - and I seem to remember that their outfits on that dance were .......... wait for it ........... here it comes....... Black and Gold!!!!!!

Scuttlebutt has it that Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid) has a strong dance background and has performed on and off Broadway in various musicals... He was by far the best last night, but his choreography was set up with very little dancing in hold, and was also very sparse in true FoxTrot moves.... Hines took control of his dance, and probably had some of the toughest choreo in the whole group...

I now have to go back and watch the video again to see if I can spot Blount!!!! He should be easy to spot with the Cowboy hat on - - now that I know what I am looking for.....

[XxKnightxX]

Didn't anyone else see that big ole cowboy hat behind Franco??? If I aint mistaken wasn't that the other Steeler who has a rule named after him??? I don't think my eyes were decieving me.

That Big Ol Cowboy happens to be Mr Mel Blount haha I knew I noticed that Hat. Im sorry Ive seen this show highlights from the other players and that crowd was like a mini Heinz Field. This is gonna have a huge impact. Well I voted and lets keep Stuffing the Ballot lol.

[Butch]

Yep the Mel Blount Rule!!! All Steeler rules are named after tough guys unlike the tom brady or peyton manning rules.

[HometownGal]

I tried for a solid hour last night to get my vote in but couldn't get through - kept getting a busy signal.

I have watched DWTS since the very first show in the very first season and this one is going to be one helluva competition. I think Hines got rooked last night with a total of 21. He has absolutely no dance experience and Macchio does. The only dancer I can't stomach because she's a conceited bitch is Macchio's partner, Karina Smirnoff.

I was shocked at how well Kirstie did considering her size and age. :thumbsup: It's hilarious watching Len Goodman making faces at some of Bruno's antics. :lol:

Maxim makes me weak in the knees. :lust:

[Iron Steeler]

I want to see the results...STEELER NATION AWAKEN!!! OUR BROTHER HINES NEEDS US!!!

[tube517]

I wouldn't know. I was too busy staring at his partner.


He certainly had his game face on early but when it was time for the show he had that Signature Smile!!!

[tube517]

The Bus, Franco, and Blount were there? If Cowher shows up, it's all over. Spit will be flying toward the judges.

[Kittyfish]

Okay, I've seen the show. And I've read the comments at TWOP (Television Without Pity) to get more of a feel from a non-sports community. The members take the board name seriously, and they can be very funny and honest to a fault. They hold back nothing.

After only ONE show:

Kirstie is a clear fan favorite, but there is concern whether she will have the stamina to last the whole season. However, Maks has a HUGE fan following himself, and many people will vote for him regardless of who his partner is. They will go pretty far.

Ralph is another clear fan favorite. I'd be most worried about him - he has all the audience goodwill in the world; I mean, who doesn't love the Karate Kid? Lots of nostalgia there, and it didn't hurt that he danced very well. There is concern if he can do as well in the Latin dances.

Hines is a solid third. Non-football fans seemed charmed by him and his work ethic and smile, and Steeler-haters were warming up to him against their will. Many comparisons to Emmitt Smith, who won his season. Football players generally do well, but you do have to vote. (Remember, big as Steeler Nation is, there are lots of people indifferent to football, not to mention the Anti-Steeler Nation faction.) Objectively, right now I would put him down as a lock for the finals, along with at least one of the other two above, but not necessarily the win.

There have been many ringers in the past, who have had a lot of dancing experience of one sort or another. Many of them win. It is not necessarily taken into consideration or counted against them. It's not fair, but there it is.

I think sevens are a good start. Both the audience and the judges like to see improvement. People who come out of the gate doing very well don't always go the distance. People like to see a non-dancer turn into a dancer - that is the charm of the show. Seeing a real good dancer stay a real good dancer isn't as compelling a story. That said, ringers have done well and even won in the past. Much depends on charisma, so Hines should do fine there.

For those having trouble voting, you can vote when they're first walking down the staircase. Hines' number will not change - it will always be 1-800-868-3403. You do not even have to watch the show if you don't want - just call at any point while the program is being aired and your votes will count.

[Iron Steeler]

lets go hines!!!

[SteelerEmpire]

Do they ever have break-dancing on there ???

[Godfather]

Um....is it OK if I vote for Petra?

[86WARD]

Did he goyet?

[Iron Steeler]

i did for one of my votes :rolleyes:

HINES CLOSING OUT THE SHOW.... YIKES HIGH PRESSURE SITUATION!

[Borski]

He seemed to do pretty good.

[86WARD]

:tt02:

[Godfather]

How many times can you vote from each phone number? I have four phone lines at work.

[GutterflowerSteel]

The judges didn't even criticize Hines - they gave him major kudos, and Carrie-Anne even said that Emmit Smith would have to relinquish his title of 'Twinkletoes' to Hines. He is smooooth like buttah :tt02:

Now ... go and VOTE!!! :tongue1:

[GutterflowerSteel]

How many times can you vote from each phone number? I have four phone lines at work.
I voted for him 11 times on ABC.com - that's the max on that site. You can either sign in through Facebook or register for the site.

Not sure how many times you can vote from each phone number. After only 5x, I've been getting a busy signal :)

[Mamaduck43]

Between phones and email accounts, I got 77 votes in.... Well, I will as soon as I am done fighting busy signals now that the show is over... You can start voting at 8 PM EDT when the show starts.... They were fantastic... His choreography is the most difficult of any of the stars, and he is pulling it off so well.... Gotta love him....

[JayC]

I just discovered something. After several frustrating attempts to log in I noticed I was on abc.go.com. So I tried my ESPN username and password and it worked!!

So if you have an ESPN login use that.

Their steps went together so well - wise choice to have Hines close the show :thumbsup: They were beautiful! Non football fans really seem to like him a lot, plus he has the backing of Steelers Nation :cheer2:

They wanted to keep Steeler Nation watching. They probably had record ratings last week and if they track it, they probably saw a huge dropoff in viewers after Hines went.

[steelerdude15]

Hines looked good tonight.

Hines Ward (http://www.facebook.com/officialhinesward)
Week two down! Another dance performed. It's crazy that I'm able to do all these dances now, which is totally different from dancing in the clubs or at events. I'm having a blast with them all. Thanks again for all your support and all your votes. I want to keep on representing Steeler Nation, all the way to the end! Wish me luck! Hines

[venom]

The next John Travolta , lol

[HometownGal]

Hines was magnificent and I don't get the "7" he got from Len. :noidea: Hines will be doing the jive down the road and I can't wait to see him boogie'ing away! :rockon:

[steeldevil]

He totally called for the help of Steeler nation. lol

[SteelerEmpire]

His score went up 2 pts than from what he had last time... so he's getting better at it.

[HometownGal]

Hines has a terrific dance partner in Kym Johnson. The sky is the limit!

I was also pleasantly surprised at how well Chris Jericho :lust: did last night. He also has a dynamic partner in Cheryl Burke.

GO HINES! :rockon:

[Polamalu Princess]

I thought Hines did very well last night. I would love to see him go all the way!!!

[HometownGal]

For those who missed the show, here's our Hines! :applaudit:

[SteelerEmpire]

Here's a quote form a 3td party dancing specialist:
"...Really, that honor (a 1st place score) could have gone to Hines Ward, who easily bested the other two quicksteppers (the two other highest scorers with also 23 pts last nite) with his own precision piece. But, hey, sometimes the scores don’t reflect the best dances..."

[Steeltreal]

No Bias here but would you rather watch/see your favorite athlete Dancing in the off season or playing MLS Soccer? Ochocinco will probably have more stamina by the time he comes back to football where most of the NFL guys who have done dancing were already retired.

[XxKnightxX]

Its two different worlds, Ocho is learning soccer footwork and running his balls off daily and constantly which will affect his muscle mass and strength while hines is doing a lot of detailed dancing which requires ultimately precise footwork and timing. I say theyre both gonna benefit from this. Thats why sometimes the best athletes are sometimes the best NFL players.

Edit- to add on to that I think Ocho will benefit Stamina wise , Look at Steve Nash, the guy is ageless and playing lights out in the NBA, and his 'offseason' workouts are basically him playing soccer all Summer long.

[stillers4me]

Kym looked gorgeous! Those two are adorable together!

[Godfather]

Catherwood is going home, barring a HUGE upset. He's in last place among the judges, he has no natural fan base, and the Vote For The Worst crowd prefers to troll American Idol. Wendy Williams has fans from her daytime talk show so she should have enough fans to save her.

Agree... its pretty much a popularity contest for the first couple of weeks

Hines is officially safe (no suprise there).

I guess we can answer your question shortly - - since Chad Johnson danced last season with Cheryl Burke - - he was actually almost likeable - - and I did vote for him a few times... He did have a hard time reining in his ego at times... He doesn't seem to be burning up the soccer field in Kansas - - the critiques that I have seen today said that he is lacking a lot....

Here is a link to Hines' charity raffle - two ticket all expenses paid to Los Angeles to be his guest on DWTS

[Moose]

I do think Hines looked pretty decent the past 2 weeks, and I do believe the STEELER NATION will prevail and help his chances greatly. BUT my thoughts and complaint is WHY can't we see the phone results ??? How do we know HOW MANY CALLS for Hines came in....what stops the show from 'stacking the deck' to favor who THEY WANT to win ?? We all know what points the judges are giving, but we have NO idea who the percentage of calls went to. You know within an hour after the show, with computer technology, they know the percentage of calls and to who....why can't that be posted on the web for ALL TO SEE !! Just my opinion, question and comlaint. What yinz say?

[stillers4me]

Holy Moly!! Who knew Hines had that kind of hip action!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hines dressed in black and gold with a little Terrible Towel wave at the end, a Potsie sighting in the audience, and the very first 9 of the season....perfect!

[Mamaduck43]

He and Kym were amazing - - - - - I got my 70 votes in......

[stillers4me]

Tonight was Round 2 of Hines Ward on Dancing with the Stars. The focus of the evening was for each dancer to take something personal that they have a strong emotional attachment to, put it to a song that also has emotional value and wrap it all into a dance. As Len said at the beginning of the evening, taking something that is emotional and being able to translate that into a dance we can all connect to can be a difficult matter. Not so for our newly donned Hines ‘Twinkle Toes’ Ward.

The Lead in
Ward decided to honor his mother and chose the song “Fantasy” by Earth Wind & Fire. The dance would be the Samba. The video leading up to the dance gave us insight to why Hines chose his mother. It’s a story that we, The Nation, are very familiar with. Ward’s mother wanted him to fully experience the American Dream. She worked very hard to continue making money so that she could retain custody of her son. When Ward made it to the NFL it was time for him to be able to support her. This dance was a way to give thanks, a celebration, for all her sacrifices. Ward said, “My mom is the heart and soul of who I am, so… whoop whoop!”.......

Hines looked great last night . Nice showing by the Terrible Towels

[HometownGal]

OMG Hines was awesome last night doing the samba with Kym! :applaudit: Wow - he can really shake and shimmy those sexy hips! The judges voted 9, 8 and 8 (I think he should have had all 9's personally but that is rare in Week #3) for a total of 25 and Hines and Kym share the leaderboard this week with Petra and Dmitry. :rockon: No doubt about it - Hines is a serious contender to make it to and win the final! :yay3:

For those who missed this great performance, you can watch it below:

I loved seeing his mom in the audience, she looks so sweet and one Helluva an inspiration to her son. Her never quit attitude was taken to heart by Hines and is what makes me so proud to have him on our team. He is a true sports hero in a day and age where there are so few.

Thank you Hines Ward and Thank you Hines Ward's Mom!!! Steeler Nation is proud of both of you!!!

Hines' Mom is soooooo cute! A lady of class who put her child first in life (unlike a lot of young parents today) and did whatever she had to do to raise and guide him into chasing his dreams until he caught and fulfilled them. :drink: Hines is now returning that love by taking care of his Mom and I have nothing but the deepest admiration and respect for him, not only as a player, but as a son. GO HINES! :tt03:

[Mamaduck43]

Kym needs a huge amount of credit for designing choreography that is both beautiful and exciting - - and she certainly knows how to tweak Hines' sense of wanting to be the best... I went to a couple of 'dance' boards last night and they were raving about how difficult some of the samba moves Hines did are for 'experienced' dancers to do, and he pulled them off without a hitch... He is in this to win it and it shows....

I still think that his chief competition right now is Ralph Macchio, but his dancing lessons since he was 4 years old and Broadway experience just show a very one dimensional performer so far - - he just poses while Karina dances around him - - her typical choreography.... (I don't like her much - - never did)....... Kirstie has the fan base, and the ability - - I think she is a threat... The Disney girl, Chelsey, is moving up, but Romeo and Sugar Ray didn't do as well as I expected last night.... Interesting season....

And the Terrible Towel finale` was just perfect.... Gotta love it....

I'm happy that Kym finally got a good partner in Hines - she hasn't had the luck that Derek Hough had the last couple of years (don't like him or Karina the bitch).

Ralph Macchio may make it to the semi-finals but I still see Hines leaving him in the dust. For a guy who has absolutely no dance experience, Hines really knows how to move and groove. :applaudit: Can't wait to see him doing the jive!

I hope it doesn't come down to fan base as Kirstie has that. I don't like seeing DWTS turning into a popularity contest like the season Donny Osmond won. After the first 3 weeks, though, I think Hines has been the best and most consistently good dancer. :tt03:

Kristie does have a good sized fan base, but I think with the size of the Steeler fan base, and especially if Kristie and/or her partner falls again, Hines will be looking pretty good.

[Kittyfish]

I would bet any amount of money that Kirstie and Maks got the most votes last night, due to the sympathy factor and the fact that after Maks pulled it together they danced very well indeed.

I still call a Kirstie/Ralph/Hines final three, assuming Kirstie has the stamina and Maks is not seriously hurt. (Maks has an enormous fan following of his own, and he and Kirstie work well together.)

Ralph has all the audience goodwill in the world and dances pretty well too. However, he is not improving as much as Hines has done - his first dance was his best - and apparently doesn't have the natural hip action the judges all love to see while Hines is pretty good at shaking what his momma gave him.

That said, Hines did wonderfully last night. I would vote for him no matter how he danced (at least up to a certain point - I woudn't vote too long if he was, say, Wendy Williams bad) but he makes it easy because he is really, really doing spectacularly well - much better than I thought he would be, to be honest. He is earning those votes, and winning new fans along the way. I've seen several people saying they didn't know who Hines Ward was when the show started but he is so charming with his smiling all the time and how much fun he is having and has done well with all of his dances that he is now their favorite. From what I've seen, he is still seen pretty much as an underdog, a "stealth" finalist as it were, and I think that works in his favor. There are a lot of week ahead but I think Hines is right where he needs to be.

[Moose]

Hine's definitely looked awesome last night, and I do think he's starting to build up a good fan base. Loved the TERRIBLE TOWEL statement. I think he'll be in it for the long haul. I'm not sure I agree with the following fan base for Kirstie and Maks. And I'm sure there will be some sympathy votes for them after the fall, but not enough to keep them in it for the long run. She's just not a dancer and has no rythme. Just my opinion. But I know nothing of the dancing they do on DWTS, I'm just a get on the floor and groove the thing guy. I'm voting for Hines cuz it's Steeler Nation and it's the right thing to do !! GO STEELER's.

[stillers4me]

Hines to himself: "Shit, I gotta do this again." :chuckle:

There are a lot of week ahead but I think Hines is right where he needs to be.

What SHE said! :rockon:

[stillers4me]

I can't get any Bengals fans to admit he's good. :chuckle:

[I-Want-Troy's-Hair]

He even has the judges twirling the towel tonight. Ward's wife was in attendance tonight.

[Butch]

There is a lady at work who told me earlier last season she wanted to see a player who is good to his mom...so I instantly smiled and introduced her to Hines. I showed her articles about Hines and his mom and showed her pictures of his trip Korea after winning the Superbowl MVP, and of course his never faiding Grin!!!

She has since had a somewhat Shine for Hines, but that dance dedicated to his mom with her in the audience sinched it...she's now a Steeler fan!!!

Welcome to Steeler Nation Artie!!!

[steeldevil]

Hines is killing it. With his great dancing and the votes of Steeler Nation I see him going far!!

[SteelerSal]

I still have not watched it....:yawn:

[steeldevil]

I usually only watch Hines Sal. Unless my g/f makes me....

I just can't do it..I could never get into any of those talent shows.

[Mamaduck43]

I went into my crafts' bin and dug out some Black and Gold sequins and beads - - I am now sewing them on to one of my Terrible Towels and will be using it on Monday nights for the duration of the DWTS season..... Gotta get that 'bling' and 'glitz' going and get more into the proper mood....
The athletes almost always do well on the show, but Hines is bringing a new enthusiasm and talent to the show... I have been to a few message boards where even Browns and Ravens fans have said that they have been casting votes for Hines and Kym..... Amazing.....

[Polamalu Princess]

Hines is doing very well. It is a joy to watch him dance.

[Butch]

I just can't do it..I could never get into any of those talent shows.

But Sal It's Hines!!! The Psycho Ward!!!

You remember the guy who stated before the 75th anniversary game that he gets manicures and pedicures before he went out on the field and did this...

Did anyone watch the results show last night? At the beginning of every Tuesday night results show, the judges decide whose dance they would like to see again and Len Goodman chose Hines & Kym! :applaudit: What is freakin' awesome (other than his great dancing) was after the dance was finished and Hines was again waving his "towel", he broke into a humungus smile and was pointing towards the judges. All 3 judges were waving Steelers Terrible Towels! :applaudit: :tt02: WOOT! Video below:

I read that James Harrison, Max Starks and James Farrior will all be there tomorrow night!

[Mamaduck43]

Their Paso Doble will be done to the music, "Explosive" by Bond.... On YouTube, you can find an exhibition Paso that Kym did with another professional dancer a few years ago at DWTS Australia... There are some lifts that would not be allowed tomorrow but it gives you an idea of the power of the music, and gives us a lot to anticipate.... I searched for "Explosive" by Bond, and then added Kym Johnson to the search and it popped up....

I can't wait until tomorrow - - Hines in his 'game face' and finishing with a smile.....

[HometownGal]

Hines in his 'game face' and finishing with a smile.....

Hines gane face is a smile which pisses off opposing defenses. :heh: :thumbsup:

The Paso is a very powerful dance and I think Hines and Kym will nail it!

[HometownGal]

Kym is just SCALDING hot. Her alone is probably racking up the vote count :lust:

She is a beauty, no doubt about it.

Just for you Psycho . . .

Not until the ABC Network agrees to put on MY idea for a show,," Stripping with the Ex-Athletes "

What's the number to vote?

[HometownGal]

OMG Hines and Kym did an awesome Paso Doble! :applaudit: They received a 9, 8, 8 from the judges and I think they deserved three 9's as their performance was the best of the night thus far. I saw James Harrison and Max Starks in the audience waving their :tt02:'s but couldn't see who the others were. Gotta also love them both wearing black and gold again!

GO HINES AND KYM! :rockon:

[GutterflowerSteel]

Hines KILLED IT - and with one less day of practice than everyone else. Loved how his Steelers brothers erupted into cheers and waved their towels afterwards. I don't know much about dancing, but I was a little worried after Ralph Macchio's performance. Not any more! Len called him the most determined of all ... he's right about that :) :tt02:

[tihmtahm]

I actually watched the show tonight just to see what all the noise was about, and I must say, Hines was a helluva lot better than I thought he would be. I mean let's face it, an awesome athlete does not a dancer make... This is an exception. And Kym is definitely HOT HOT HOT!!! That opera singer was amazing too.

[stillers4me]

Hines waz robbed!!! Should have had three 9's.............

[stillers4me]

I think James threatened Carrie Ann with an illegal hit if they didn't give him 10's. :lol:

[HometownGal]

Oh I definitely felt Hines & Kym should have scored three 9's. I thought Mark and Chelsea's Viennese Waltz was overkilled and had way too many gimmicks for that particular dance, even though the music was the Harry Potter theme. On top of that, I think Kirstie Alley has received higher scores than she deserved the last 2 weeks.

I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between Len and Bruno last night. :lol: Bruno goes off on a tangent a lot and Len is very prim and proper. Bruno also tends to give women higher scores than men which is kind of bizarre as he is gay. :noidea:

I think Kendra goes home this week. Did anyone see her puss face last night when the judges were critiquing her dance and after she received her scores? Sorry Kendra - big tatas don't count for points.

I think there's some on this board that would disagree with that. :lol:

Hines knocked it out of the park last night!!!

Loved seeing more Steeler players there to support him. Wonder who'll be there next week??? It would be cool to see Ben show up.

[tihmtahm]

Hines should be allowed to dance at Ben's wedding!

[Moose]

I think Hines was definitely in the zone tonight. Although I would have to say that there were a few other couples who looked pretty good. As I said before, I don't know anything about the style of dances they do....I'm just a get on the floor and groove to the music type of guy....but Hines is nailing it. I just want to know when that cow Kirstie is getting kicked off....she's just pathetic and needs to go out to pasture and graze. YUK

[smokin3000gt]

Hines definitely got screwed last night.. especially after seeing what scores everyone else got. He was sharp and dead on. I was really impressed TBH. Kendra sucked and had a piss poor attitude. Unfortunately she can't blow her way to getting what she wants since one of the judges has penis wrinkle and the other is gay. I couldn't believe when she told the judges she 'doesn't care about elegance'. Might as well have said 'I don't care about class'.

Oh man that's MEAN to say about her. I mean ease up will you. I had hopes that Kirstie might wanna come to camp and play some LT for us :-) I mean she is tall ( 6ft, 3 )..and she can cover the " Blind side " Give her a break will ya :-)

[steeldevil]

Hines did well last night as usual. I really liked the music he danced to.

And the couple that picked the Harry Potter music to dance to was very smart. They are going to get A LOT of votes just for that.

Though their dance would have been cool if it was a freestyle, I totally agreed with Len that it wasn't really a Viennese Waltz. The Viennese Waltz is a graceful dance with flow throughout, not doing somersaults and gimmicks. Those two pissed the judges off a few weeks ago as their jive was all over the place and not true to the form of the dance.

Kendra should get the heave ho tonight. Kirstie should go soon, as well, but most likely won't because of her Hollywood fan base.

Imho - Hines has more than earned the votes he is getting. As Len said last night - he gives 110% each and every week and is the most dedicated of all. :thumbsup:

[43Hitman]

I've watched it the last couple of weeks because Robin has been telling me how good Hines has been doing. I'll say I'm not surprised at all at his dedication and that his partner (Kim?) is giving him harder stuff to do as soon as he gets the basics. It makes me proud to see him represent himself and Steeler Nation in such a honorable way. His statement of, "I can't do it...I can't do it right now, but I will." is the epitome of Hines Ward and his approach to everything.

Agree on Chelsea and Mark. It was cute when they overdid the theatrics in Week 2, but they shouldn't go to that well too often. Same goes for Dmitri ripping off Petra's clothes (not that I'm complaining!!)

Kirstie moved really well in the first round and apparently the judges don't penalize falls and missteps. But I don't think she can physically keep up for the while season. She needs to do well enough to justify fan votes--a third of Americans are obese and another third are overweight so if she does well people are going to get behind her.

Hopefully Kendra goes home tonight. She was way behind everyone else so she'll need a lot of votes. Not sure where they would come from though. Her reality show is on E! which isn't exactly big time. Playboy readers probably don't watch in significant numbers and any heterosexual males who vote on looks are going to go for Petra.

[HometownGal]

Kirstie moved really well in the first round and apparently the judges don't penalize falls and missteps.

They DO judge on missteps and falls and that is what baffles the living hell out of me. Max obviously couldn't hold Kirstie's weight on his leg last week and his thigh gave out and yesterday, she lost her shoe and Max had to dance around like a puppet on a string until she could wiggle those chubby toes back into her shoe. Had it not been for those fubars, they probably would have scored 8's or 9's across the board which is ludicrous imho. Max is a fantastic dancer - always has been, but Kirstie just isn't dance material. There are those out there who claim the show is fixed and now I'm beginning to wonder too.

She did do really well the first week, but they all had 2-3 weeks to prepare. Now they only have one week to practice the new dance and she doesn't seem to be able to get it that fast. I'd hate to think it's fixed but after what they did to Hines last night.......:noidea:

They have no clue about the wrath of Steelers Nation. :chuckle:

[Moose]

I would hate to think that the show is 'fixed', but the way the world and politics is, I guess it could be. One of my biggest questions is, why can't the viewers ever see what the phone-in results are ? We all know what the judges points total, but WHO actually knows what the final phone-in total was ? That's where the 'fixed' could happen. With Steeler fans all over the world, I would think that if just a fraction of Steeler Nation would phone vote every week, Hines would blow the phone-in vote away. You don't have to watch the show.....just start phoning in at 8pm on Monday evening....with every phone you can get your hands on, the number stays the same ....PLUS the computer.

I hope Hines gets to use Renegade before the season's over.

Back on board with Hines and Kym tonight! Looking forward to another stellar performance.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but vote early, vote often!! SteelerNation is awesome, and I'm hoping there's also a large block of Korean Americans voting for him as well.

Have to remember that Kirstie has the Hollywood fan base, the weightily challenged fan base, and also the Scientology fan base.

Not sure where Kendra's fan base is coming from, but I feel like I need a shower every time I think about it!

I agree her dress (what little there was) was awsome!!!

Nothing wrong with his dancing but I think last weeks dance was better. Still glad to see him get all nines.

Does anybody ever get a 10?

I thought Hines and Kym's rendition of the rumba to such a difficult song was great! :applaudit: Len, who is the toughest judge of all, said it was Hines' best dance. Hines obviously got all of the elements in there that the judges wanted to see.

Oh hell yes - there will be 10's. Hines may even be the first star to get a perfect 30.

I now think his toughest competition is going to be Chelsea as Ralph hasn't looked all that great the past 2 weeks.

For those who didn't get to watch it, here is Hines and Kym's rumba from last night:

Thanks for posting the video. He looks great out there...lol.

[Moose]

Please let Kirstie the Cow get voted off tonight !!! please, please, please. I don't think I can take another week of that blimp bouncing around on the floor doing a so called 'dance'. Pathetic. And how in the heck can those judges sit there and give her scores above 5 on any movement she does ? I guess they figure once you get all of that body in motion it's hard to stop........LOL, like a bowl of jello. And this is just 'my opinion' so lay off of the 'don't be so cruel statements' ! LOL

[Mamaduck43]

Lots of controversy on a couple of dance sites saying that Hines just stood there while Kym danced... But also a lot of support for both Hines and Kym for very difficult rumba choreography and great moves by Hines during the dance.... I guess that the male dancer is supposed to frame the female's moves, and Hines certainly did that, and you could see that he had some spectacular moves of his own.....
I did think that all of the pairings of music to dance style stunk, for the most part.... It was hard to figure out just what dance was supposed to be performed.... A sad week musically, after last weeks fantastic live orchestra....
It looks like Chris Jerico is in it to win it - - great improvement on his part... It seems that ABC is pimping some of their 'favorites' - - - sending them out to appear on some of the daytime shows.... I have watched every season of this show, and the competition is the tightest I have ever seen.... I still think that Hines can take it all....

I want to thank Mrs. Rooney and the girls as well as Mrs. Tomlin for coming out and showing their support for me. As far as the dance goes, I was so nervous because this was my first slow dance. But Kym choreographed a great romantic routine. Classy and a great ending from An Officer and a Gentleman. She's awesome and hopefully she leads me to the top. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your votes!

A message for ALL Ratbird fans......:flipoff: :Cry:

[HometownGal]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Petra's going home.

Anyone who voted for Kendra can bite me.

I thought that was a travesty. She's a much better overall dancer than Kirstie Alley who flops around aimlessly. She's lucky to have Max to cover up her blunders as best he can. I think the judges feel sorry for her and she's still around because of Hollywood's votes. It's a damned pity.

Hines is clearly the best overall dancer and Romeo and Chris have really stepped up their game!

[Godfather]

Petra was my second favorite contestant.

I guess it's karma biting me because I voted for Sanjaya.

[stillers4me]

Petra is beautiful and most times elegant, but this week, she looked like she was just being drug around the dancefloor. Romeo is adorable and I love the way Chelsea's partner always keeps things youthful for her.

Hines is still da bomb.

[Steeltreal]

In the video Kendra had that hotdog in her mouth on purpose. Way to get those fan votes.

[Angina]

I think Hines' musicality, his timing, is what impresses the judges the most. Though that outfit hid his lines and hip movements, you can still see he never missed a beat. He was flawless in that regard and partnering Kym through all those spins while doing it was incredible.

Seems like some DWTS fans think that unless you're hopping around on the balls of your feet the whole time, you're not dancing. Eh, let 'em cry. I'll just keep opening those email accounts so I can send more votes Hines' way. :wave:

Petra seems to have more trouble with certain dances. She's too tall for the ones that required her to go under Dmitiri's arm, and she seems to struggle with the footwork when the tempo is too fast.

She should have done Neil Diamond's "Coming to America"...slightly slower than Viva Las Vegas, and would have been perfect for the only contestant who isn't an American by birth.

[Godfather]

Titanic song coming up...get your mute buttons ready!!

[Godfather]

That wasn't a 10.

[Iron Steeler]

I want to see 10s!!

[Iron Steeler]

ooo gonna give him bad scores

[st33lersguy]

Go Hines :tt03::tt03::tt03::tt03: Forget the judges Hines was the best!

[Iron Steeler]

Ehhhh i feel like this might be a ABCs attempt to knock hines down a spot so h can have his triumphant comeback redemption dance!

[86WARD]

what was his score this week?

[Carolina Steelers]

what was his score this week?
9,9,9, 27 total

[Godfather]

Go Hines :tt03::tt03::tt03::tt03: Forget the judges Hines was the best!

Not tonight. Romeo put up a legitimate 10. (Chelsea, not so much.)

[Angina]

Ehhhh i feel like this might be a ABCs attempt to knock hines down a spot so h can have his triumphant comeback redemption dance!


Bingo. :yup:

[HometownGal]

I thought Hines and Kym's Viennese Waltz was beautifully done. :thumbsup: I am still totally befuddled about Kirstie Alley's high scores - I am not at all impressed with her "dancing". :horror: Romeo and Chelsea were awesome last night and deserved their high marks. I also thought Watermelon Tatas did a very good job last night.

Hard to predict who will be sent home tonight. :noidea: I can guarantee it won't be Hines and Kym!

[Angina]

...I also thought Watermelon Tatas did a very good job last night.

watermelon tatas :lol::lol:

And no it probably won't be Hines and Kym this week, but please remember to vote!! Some of the other dancers have fan bases as well, and they will be power voting if their favorite is near the bottom of the list. (Sheesh, look at how long Kendra's been kept in it.) We need to keep Hines in there!!!

As the weeks go by, we get fewer and fewer votes. (I keep registering new email accounts to compensate! :chuckle: )

[HometownGal]

watermelon tatas :lol::lol:



I couldn't remember her name off hand. :heh: When I look at her, all I see are da melons. :lol:

[Moose]

UGH ! I just can't believe that Kirstie the Cow is still around ! What bufoon judges are these ? They actually think her bouncing around aimlessly in the floor is dance ? I think that Bruno has the 'hots' for the cow's dancing partner....or any of the male dancer's for that matter. You all know that you can START voting at the beginning of the show don't you....? I start dialing in at 8pm to avoid the mad rush afterwards. GO STEELER's.

[The WH]

Jericho should win it all.

[Angina]

Jericho should win it all.

Not on talent. Only way he wins is with power voting.

Lol, I kind of thought that was a backhand compliment when Carrie Ann said Kendra was in her element last night.

[Psycho Ward 86]

I ain't complaining :)

Of course he's safe. :rockon:

Care to fill the rest of us who don't watch the show in?

I actually thought Chris did very well for a burly wrestler who never saw a dance floor in his life.

WHY THE HELL IS KIRSTIE ALLEY STILL ON THIS SHOW (other than the fact that she has Hollywood behind her???) :doh:

[zulater]

I haven't been watching the show, other than the highlights of Hines you guys have been posting, but I heard Kirstie tossed a show on one episode. I take it there was a blacksmith on hand to fix her up then?

[HometownGal]

She's better than Kendra. Petra should still be on instead.

I agree.

From having watched the show since its inception, I have come to learn that the last 6-8 weeks or so becomes more of a popularity contest than fans voting on the actual dances. Prime example of that is the season Donny Osmond won.

[SMR]

She's better than Kendra. Petra should still be on instead.

I agree.

[Butch]

(other than the fact that she has Hollywood behind her???) :doh:

LOL Thank goodness I'm not in that crowd what a horrible position to be in!!!

[Mamaduck43]

Oh, good grief!!!!! Just found out that for the 'team' dance, Hines will be paired with Kirstie and Kendra..... The other team will have Chelsie, Romeo and Ralph.... Hines has his work cut out for him....... Ouch!!!!!!

[st33lersguy]

Hines is paired with Floppy and Melon chest? That is like being placed on the Bengals or Browns offense

[Mamaduck43]

Yep - - I believe that they are doing the Cha Cha..... One good thing is that with those two, come a couple of the best male pro dancers, and Hines can hold his own with them..... And, actually, if you are really objective while watching the competition, Kirstie is doing pretty well with her musicality, and she moves remarkably well... I am not too worried about her being able to hold her own, as well... I do, however, worry about Kendra's attitude - - if she doesn't feel like performing well, she can really drag the team down....

I haven't discovered what Hines' and Kym's dance is - - I will post when I find out..... Lordy, lordy, some of the dance boards are oddly habit forming.... Weird people over there.....

[Angina]

Yep, Hollywood AND Scientology. Don't think those whack jobs aren't power voting her up there either.

[Mamaduck43]

As far as I can find out - - it looks like Hines and Kym's solo dance will be the Salsa.... Sounds like it should work well for them..... I hope that they have decent music..... Sigh....

[Moose]

I'm just amazed that Kirstie the Cow is still bouncing around on the show. At least Kendra has some rythm to her ( although pole dancing style), and is somewhat comical to watch and listen to. It definitely shows that it's all a matter of fan popularity, and right now the Cow has apparently a lot of 'call-in' power. KEEP CALLING STEELER NATION !!! This could get scary in a few weeks !!! GO STEELER'S !!

[Angina]

Mark Ballas, the dancing professional paired with Chelsea Kane this season, had this to say about Hines Ward in his Dancing With The Stars blog in the L.A. Times:

"I also want to give a shout-out to Hines. I guess being a professional football player, you know a thing or two about injuries. After seeing how ineffectively I'd wrapped my ankle on Tuesday, he took over and re-wrapped it for me. I did ask him if he was going to do a good job or try and sabotage me for the competition! All kidding aside, he was awesome and I appreciated him taking the time to help me out."

That's our Hines!

[Angina]

...KEEP CALLING STEELER NATION !!! This could get scary in a few weeks !!! GO STEELER'S !!

This ^^

You can vote as soon as the show starts, call, email, text if you have AT&T, and you get multiple votes with each option. The number of votes allowed goes down with each week and clearly, people like Kendra and Kirstie have very organized voting blocks.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but let's not get complacent. You can open free email accounts at gmail (and other sites I presume) and it only takes a few minutes to register them at abc.com.

[HometownGal]

And, actually, if you are really objective while watching the competition, Kirstie is doing pretty well with her musicality, and she moves remarkably well...

I am being objective and I still come to the same conclusion - Kirstie Alley is not a good dancer and should have been sent home before Petra. She flops around out there like Petunia Pig and this isn't a cap on her weight. I give her major props for competing against women who are 1/4 her size but imho, she just isn't a very good dancer. Thank God she has Maks to cover up her fubars. I also think the judges feel sorry for her.

[Angina]

Looks like Hines & Kym are doing the tango this week.

[Mamaduck43]

Looks like Hines & Kym are doing the tango this week. That's great - - I couldn't find anything but a mention of the salsa, and I didn't think that sounded right.... I have heard that the group dance is pretty good - - when you consider that Louie and Max are two of the better male pros, Hines should fit right in with them.... TV Guide still has Hines ranked 2nd behind Ralph - - we need to Chop the Karate Kid down to size - - get on those phones tonight - - start voting at 8 PM EDT.....

[Angina]

Well the tango is just what I heard, so your guess is as good as mine, lol.

I don't get why Ralph is rated so high. I love him as an actor, but his dancing is so...(I can't think of a word for it right now lol)....he just doesn't have the musicality that Hines and some of the other contestants have. His arms are gangly and his hand placement is really odd sometimes.

[Godfather]

Geesh Hines, why did you saddle yourself with the two worst teammates?

[Godfather]

Nevermind...they did better than Team Chelsea. Hopefully the scores reflect it.

[st33lersguy]

Geesh Hines, why did you saddle yourself with the two worst teammates?

He has made it to the pro bowl when he was catching passes from Kordell Stewart and Tommy Maddox, he can handle it

[Mamaduck43]

Something to think about - - - someone on the DWTS board looked up how many Twitter fans each of the top 6 has and it is kind of scary....

Ralph 51,162

Hines 71,262

Romeo 169,554

Chelsea K 495,988

Kirstie 797,058

Kendra 1,179,058

We really have to work to keep Hines up there in the votes....

I did love how he took control of the team practice and got everyone 'organized' and together..... Team player all the way.... I thought they were horribly underscored.... Sheesh....

But the judges seem to be pimping Chelsea K., and Ralph the most... They have been kind to Hines 'cause he has been outstanding, but they have shorted him on scores several times.....

[Iron Steeler]

Hines is slipping

Just realized where I've seen Len before. He officiates all our games against the Ratbirds.

Go HINES!!!!! Mutinousshoe, secondleftfoot, mutinouscape, and flamingtutu have all voted for ya, along with a few other of my accounts :tt02: and my text and phone votes!!!

By the way, is it just me, or did Kym's choreography seem a little flat for the tango?

[Godfather]

Tonight's episode sucks. It's not even encores--just replays.

And no results yet.

[HometownGal]

I don't think it was the choreography. Hines' holds didn't look right at times and of all his dances thus far, this was my least favorite. I'm happy he finally got his 10 though! :applaudit:

I can't wait to see him do the jive! :rockon:

[HometownGal]

Please let Kirstie go home tonight. :pray: Even she knew her dance last night was God awful. :horror: Though I think her dancing sucks, I give her mad props for getting out there at the age of 60 and giving it a whirl!

[HometownGal]

Woooo hooooooo!!! Hines and Kym are safe! :yay3: :applaudit:

Kirstie and Max are in jeopardy.

Anyone going to post the video of Hines' dance this week?

Hines and Kym,,,,,,,,,,,,, you are safe

[86WARD]

Top 5 right?

lol...

[86WARD]

So awkward dancing with that dude...lol.

Mark my words - it's going to be Hines, Chelsea and Ralph in the final. I think they are the best 3 dancers with Hines being the best, of course! :thumbsup:

Chelsea has me worried. She's good, and more important the judges love her.

I'd like for Kirstie to make the finals instead--that would make it easy for Hines.

[HometownGal]

The judges seem to love Hines just as much, so it's going to really depend on their freestyles, I think. Mark Ballas will choreograph a kick ass freestyle - Kym has to do him one better.

[Kittyfish]

Another thing to consider is the popularity of the pros, because that matters more than one may think.

The board I like to read isn't representative of the public at large, of course, but a LOT of people are turning against Mark Ballas. Even people who used to like him. I know that while they have been complaining of Mark's mugging and overdancing for a long time, I had never really seen it for myself until Monday night. As I told my aunt:

Mark has never really bothered me all that much until the team cha-cha. For some reason, I finally got it. People have been complaining about it for the longest time but it was last night when I finally really saw the mugging and the WAY WAY overdancing - I mean, let's face it, he really is a brilliant, gifted dancer, but DWTS is not the proper venue for showing off what a great dancer he is. It's not all about him, it's really very little about him, but I don't think he understands that. The rest of the pros seem to get it, but Mark doesn't. I do think it might do him a bit of good if he was sat down or had a talking to or something - his celebrities are not being best served by him, and there are certainly other pros who could take his place. He's really not the be-all and end-all.

Reading on, it seems several other people finally saw what I saw too. Mark really must have been way OTT for so many of us to see what others have seen for a while. He almost came across as demented at times.
****

I could show you pages and pages of anti-Mark comments - again, some from people who used to be fans - and people saying although they like Chelsea and think she's one of the best dancers, they cannot bring themselves to vote for Mark. Some also don't care for Chelsea's always "on", chirpy, Disney persona.

The worst they say about Hines is they think he has been overscored a bit lately, and no one has a bad word to say about Kym.

I don't know the point of posting this, really. Just that 1) as always, it's important to keep voting and 2) Chelsea may not be that much of a threat after all. We'll just have to do what we can and wait and see what happens. DWTS may call itself a dancing competition but it really comes down to a popularity contest (though of course you need some dancing ability!). I'm a tad worried about Chelsea, but I'm more worried about Ralph.

Well, if Mark is costing Chelsea votes then Ralph is really being hurt by Karina. From what I've seen this season, regular viewers hate her.

On the DWTS boards, Karina is getting props for her much better attitude this season.... She still puts her mean face on when scoring doesn't go her way and when someone else does really well, but the amount of hatred has decreased a lot....

Maks and Kirstie were on the Ellen show today - - she has had Ralph, Chelsea Kane, Kirstie, Cheryl and the wrestler, and a couple of others on - - I keep waiting for her to have Hines and Kym, but after her total PackerLove in February, I am not sure how she will handle it....

I love how Hines and Kym are always the first ones pronounced "Safe"..... Kinda neat....

Strange. You'd expect Ellen to be a Saints fan.

[Mamaduck43]

Strange. You'd expect Ellen to be a Saints fan.

I guess the Saints are her 'first' team.... But she has started a 'thing' on her show where she has a sort of competition between teams and players where they donate items to Ellen to auction on her website for her charity.... The 'current' donator is her new favorite and she backs that team on her show... She ended up going with the Pack, and did a lot of pre and post game promotions.... "Mr. Rogers and what's his face with the stringy dirty blond hair both appeared in the week following SB and now are sporting "Ellen" underware!!!!!! Wow!!! What a goal...
I guess that the network is pimping their choices for a win on DWTS, but Hines and Kym are forces to be reckoned with..... Talent is hard to beat....

[Mamaduck43]

Don't forget to vote tonight - - starting at 8 PM EDT...... I have heard that they are doing the FoxTrot, plus tonight is the instant dance - - they will be given a piece of music and they have to choreograph a dance to it... Hines and Kym are doing Jive to that one... Hopefully, they will get some decent music.... They have been on the short end of the stick a couple of times this season re: music choices.... I also read an article that Troy will be in the audience tonight......
