  1. Wow. They should change the name of the show to “Dancing with the 3 Stars”. There are more zeros here than a lottery winning check.

  2. Don’t mean to be too snarky, but I actually had to read this twice before I was convinced this wasn’t an Onion satire.
    Half of these people aren’t stars, they’re television freak shows

  3. Totally agree with WriterGuy. Freak show starts makes for Dancing with the Freaks not dancing with the stars.

  4. I really liked watching this season. sometimes a quirky cast makes for more interesting stories. I could only deal with so much of Kendra and her farting.
