DWTS 12 End of Season Award Winners – Which Couple Was the Worst Dressed?
John: I’m surprised that Wendy didn’t take all of the cake on this one. I think it was my wife that said she looked like a Drag Queen. I couldn’t stop laughing, because she was right.
Courtney: Thank 8 lb 10 oz baby Jesus I wasn’t alone – I was referring to Wendy as “RuPaul’s long-lost twin” all season long 🙂 And apparently we weren’t the only ones thinking that, John – the guys in my office swore up & down she was a man. Everything about Wendy was just too much – the huge wig, the 4 sets of false eyelashes (yes kids, according to Melanie Mills, the head DWTS makeup artist, Wendy would wear FOUR sets at a time!), and those monster boobs…they always looked so angry. I almost think it wasn’t the costumes themselves (ok, maybe the cha-cha one was really & truly BAD) that were so terrible, but just the way she wore them. Just…no. Interestingly enough, I was originally not going to include Mark & Chelsea as nominees for the worst dressed couple…but a certain other blogger convinced me they were contenders 😉 And contenders they were…guess the skulls & chains & weird workout gear & fringe just overshadowed some of Chelsea’s prettier outfits, such as her foxtrot gown (loved it), and cha-cha costume. Rounding out the “other” category: looks like a bunch of you answered with just one name (“Kirstie”, “Hines”, “Maks”), which doesn’t count because I asked which COUPLE was the worst dressed *tosses out those votes*; looks like Kirstie & Maks (5), Hines & Kym (2), Chris & Cheryl (1), none (1), and…hehe…Tom & Brooke (1). Now while I agree that “Broke Burke” had some questionable ensembles this season, The Berg is never anything short of perfection for moi 😉
Marianya: You know what? I don’t remember what Wendy wore… maybe it was so bad that I blocked it out of memory. I just remember that all I saw were boobs, boobs and more boobs… and you know I have big boobs too, but I try to be more subtle about them and use them when absolutely necessary… Wendy’s were just flying all over the place, without any control. I think that’s why I can’t remember what she wore because her assets just trumped them… dressing sexy is good… looking like a drag queen ain’t.
Heidi: Personally, I think Wendy’s attitude made her look worse than she was probably actually dressed. That air of superiority. You know when you meet a hot guy and find out he’s a total jerk and suddenly he doesn’t look that hot to you anymore?? Like that. 🙂
Vogue: The worst dressed? Mark and Chelsea for me. Yes, I was the “certain blogger” (I’m innocent, I’m innocent! lol) who told Courtney to add them to this Poll!! Although I have no issues with Guy Liner, Mark over killed it. I was annoyed with Mark’s hats and black and white SHOES all Season too. The beat all was the work out outfits that didn’t match their dance and TOTALLY GAWDY lights on their shoes, etc. at the end! What the ??? I still can’t get over that. 😯
No offense intended, but several of my DWTS friends remarked one of Wendy’s boobs were as big as Tony’s head. And I agree about her attitude making her look ugly – I could not stand her smugness.
Could not stand Mark’s spats, but I loved most of Chelsea’s costumes, which is why I did not vote for them as worst dressed.
Maks will never be voted “Worst Dressed” because he hardly ever wears cloths, or at least, he is always taking them of!!! haha 😉
I can’t remember what Wendy wore since she wasn’t on for long. I’d probably say Mark and Chelsea’s jive outfit followed by that patriotic outfit worn by Louis and Kendra. Karina’s salsa outfit was pretty horrible.
I actually liked Wendy’s pink quickstep dress. But my hate for the pre season photo shoot dress and the cha-cha-cha dress is enough to outweigh my liking of the quickstep dress.
Maybe I voted for Mark and Chelsea just because Mark was pissing me off all season. But c’mon, their jive and paso outfits weren’t winners in my mind. Any objections? lol…And Maks and the worst dressed?!!?! There is no way on God’s earth that’s and option. I mean yeah, he hardly wears clothing (this is not an objection, I encourage it!)
As for Maks (and Kirstie, for that matter) being a write-in for the worst dressed, I’m chalking that up mainly to fan wars…seems like they’re STILL going at it, over a month after the show wrapped. The Chelsea fans are claiming that Hines & Kirstie were unfairly overscored. The Kirstie fans think Hines & Chelsea were overscored. The Ralph fans think all three were overscored. And honestly – they’re all semi-right, but does it really matter now? Anywho…I think that’s resulting in some petty revenge voting in our piddly little poll. Judging from some of the write-ins in all of the categories, looks like some fans are bound & determined to “get back” at the couple(s) they deem responsible for ousting their favorites. There are always gonna be Debbie Downers…but I feel like the right couple won this poll. I don’t think anyone was revenge voting when they voted for Wendy…she wasn’t around long enough to really be overscored or oust someone more deserving. 😛
As for Maks – I agree that he’s not the worst dressed male pro on the show, and I find that I’m not really bothered by what he wears (except maybe for those silly plaid pants & suspenders he wears for jive sometimes), but I cringe at some of the stuff he dresses his partners in. That ghastly purple feathers & mesh creation he put Erin in for their samba still gives me nightmares, as does the neon disaster he put Misty in for their mambo, and the infamous red feathered salsa dress he designed for Debi. Oy vey.
I think Mark did manage to create a few nice costumes for Chelsea (see above), but they were unfortunately overshadowed by the myriad of bad ones he designed for her – I think both of her samba outfits (the patriotic one and the bronze-colored Muppet one) were god awful, and her paso doble & salsa costumes still make me go “WTF?”. I actually kinda liked her jive outfit, but I do agree that it was too “out there” for most folks. Her freestyle outfit, while not “bad”, was just kind of a cop-out – I look more put-together going to the gym. There’s no excuse for Mark – the spats, short pants, sparkly socks, and uneccessary hats & makeup are just too much anymore. He overshadows his partners both in costuming & choreography. I almost wish I could have given separate awards for worst dressed male & female – I think Wendy & Mark may have come out on top.
I love the Brooke addition/nomination lol. She is gorgeous but it was a guessing game if she would dress good. I would have ignored that if she was able to do her job right and read from the telprompter and stuff but she couldn’t do that right either. If there was any change that I wouldl ike to see it would be Tom as host with two cohosts (Kirstie or Erin Andrews and Brooke…..either way she would learn how to really do the job.) Kirstie because she is extremely funny and Erin becasue she does the stuff for ESPN and has experience interviewing people and asking them questions.
As for Chelsea and Mark’s costumes, they were hit or miss. (Ex. the jive costume and the samba costume were great but her quickstep one and her foxtrot ones were just ugly in my opinion). As for Wendy, I think she is always over the top so it was eventual that once she was on the show she would look like a drag queen. I actually think that Kendra had some of the nicer outfits (with the exception of the one she used for the dance she did to the opera song (can’t remeber to be honest what dance it was). I think Ralph’s only bad costume was the one where he looked like scarface. Karina looked great though.
@ Courtney: I agree with you on Mark’s clothing/costuming. Between those annoying black and white shoes and his inability to stop himself from dressing like a he does, I think he would have taken the #1 spot on that.
