DWTS Season 14 – Oh Come On, That’s Not Gonna Happen! Chapter 2
The second chapter in what will likely be a very long book. 🙂 In case you missed chapter 1, this is a series where I talk about what I see on Twitter that makes me roll my eyes in exasperation or laugh…or just groan in disbelief. 🙂
Today’s edition of OCOTNGH (heh) revolves around the inability of many Twitter users to READ and comprehend the written word. Seriously, this edition scares me. Let’s do it in list form, shall we??
1) Michelle Obama is NOT going to be on DWTS, partnered with Maks. If you read that on the internet, you need to look up some of the words in the article – mainly the word “Spoof”. If someone you know and/or love told you that she was going to be on DWTS, buy them a dictionary. If you believed them…what the hell is wrong with you?? 🙂 Here is the source of this particular bit of silliness —-> Michelle Obama on DWTS
Some of you are probably thinking, “Heidi is full of crap, no one REALLY believed that story.” How much would you like to bet? Any Mitt Romneys out there willing to part with 10K?? 😀
2) When someone who happens to be an actor/former co-worker (Brent Spiner) of Marina Sirtis urges people (via his twitter account) to “vote for Marina Sirtis to be on DWTS” he is NOT saying “Marina Sirtis is going to be on Season 14 of DWTS”. Come on. Go look at his twitter time line and you will clearly see that he’s campaigning just like all her other fans. Geez, people. I’m looking for real rumors – not people who can’t read chattering false info across the internet.
3) Get a sense of humor and/or actually WATCH the video where Derek says one of his partners had him crying every night. Geez, that was Derek being goofy. Hardly headline news. :::rolls eyes:::
4) Erin Andrews showing up at Maks’ birthday party doesn’t mean she’s “the one” and madly in love with him. Kirstie, Tony, and Chelsie were there too, just sayin’. Are they all in love with him? Shippers. They’re enough to make a person nuts. Especially when the Erin shippers and Kirstie shippers fight. Oh wait, that’s actually kinda fun… 🙂
5) To those complaining on Twitter that GSN is airing DWTS which “isn’t a game show!” – get a dictionary. From Websters (and really, this should be obvious to most), one of the definitions of “game”: a physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other. Duh. Synonyms of “game” include: bout, competition, contest, event, match, matchup, meet, sweepstakes (also sweep-stake),tournament, tourney. Anyway you look at it DWTS does belong on the Game Show Network. It is either a dance competition or a popularity contest…or both. Note both in the synonyms. 🙂 Just because some dude in polyester pants doesn’t have the chance to win a million bucks doesn’t mean it’s NOT a game.
6) Saying that Giulianna Rancic has been approached to be on DWTS is NOT the same thing as “Giulianna is going to be on DWTS”. Can you tell this annoys me? 🙂
I sense number 6 will be a recurring theme right up to the moment that they announce the cast for Season 14. :::sigh::: Either the internet is like a massive game of Telephone…or people don’t read well. Or some mixture of both.
Heidi! ROTFL I am seriously busting a gut on this one!!! LOL to you being scared of your post. LOLLLL to the idea of Michele dancing!!! Can you imagine?
LMAO! Thanks for brightening my day, Heidi! 🙂
I love these articles, they remind me that there are sane,rational people that are fans of the show!! LOL @ the Erin and Kirstie shippers. However the Erin and Brandy shippers can be just plain nasty to one another they tag Erin,Brandy and Maks…..
Sheridan, I agree. I can’t believe how some have a heart gasket just because Erin showed up. It’s nutty!!
OMG this made my day!!!! i LOVE it!!!! Michelle Obama … ok…keep on dreaming!!! not in this life time!! oh yeah…how can you NOT tell when a man is joking… it’s so obvious that Derek is being goofy…oh well…i guess some benevolent people would love to believe that is true!! buy some humor, people!!!!! it will get you far!! and i am pretty sure Giulianna will not be doing DWTS, not in the near future at least!!
Heidi, you’ve just completely deflated my view on the Internet, especially since apparently, a sitting first lady is not going to be on DWTS. Thanks for that. 😛
And thanks for the giggles I enjoyed while reading this post!
My first opinion of DWTS possibly asking Guilianne to be on DWTS this season. In my opinion, if its true, its just plain wrong on so many levels.
Thanks for the great post…. Spectacular as always, and much needed today…. I was in need of some cheering up, and coming here usually does the trick…. 🙂
I think I’m just gonna respond to this one with one of my favorite phrases: bitches be crazy 🙂
hahaha! This post just made my day. Thank you very much, Heidi! 🙂
Are the Erin/Maks shippers and the Kirstie/Maks shippers so-called adults? They’re just as entertaining as the screaming tweenies who write fan fiction and tweet their fake “couples” about them not following one another on twitter anymore.
From what I can tell there are actual adults involved in shipping.
OMG ! Soooo disappointed. I was really looking forward to Michelle Obama…… Are you guys certain about your info !?!
LOLLLL^^
So, who do you guys want Michelle paired with? Just wondering?
OK, I’ll play. I think Maks, because I doubt he’d be doing any pushing or even talking unless he would like to end up “dancing” with a BIG burley Secret Service guy !!
Or maybe Mark….she could tower above him and just stand still while he runs around her doing some of his spastic, wild and out of control, choreography?.
(Note- yes, I’m wearing my bulletproof vest.)
LOL!!!!!!!
I saw a news clip months ago of Mrs. Obama dancing with some kids….last thing she should do is DWTS LOL!!!
OMG!! The shippers 🙂
I saw a post on a forum and some fans think that Sabrina wasn’t doing her gig for ABC because of songs Mark wrote. They think songs are about her (even though he’s had like 3 GFs since her lol)…yikes!
*spits out her diet soda* OOOOOKKKKKKAAAAYYYY then. we are how many seasons past kirstie and erin and their respective fans are still fighting over this whole “erin and maks….. no kirstie and maks” thing. Really? please tell me you made that one up Princess Heidi. ’cause its toooo funny to be true.
Teresa, sadly it’s true. And honestly? I think the worst of them are the Maks/Brandy shippers. They’re KA-RAZY! And believe it or not, there are still plenty of Mark/Sabrina shippers as well as a few of those Derek/Shannon folks. And I mean, they really live and breathe this insanity. *shaking head*
And Evaine, the truly sad part about some of these shippers (and I think Heidi may have mentioned it already) – they’re old enough and mature enough to know better. In the past, I’ve found that a lot of shippers tend to skew kinda young – especially the Mark & Sabrina/Chelsie ones – so I tend to cut them a bit of a break, since I chalk it up to youthful inexperience. But some of the diehard Maks shippers are grown women – old enough to be his mother – and are still trying to perpetuate some nonsensical fauxmance between he & Kirstie/Erin/Brandy/whoever. I would hope they have a bit more rationale than that, but alas, I guess you can never underestimate the stupidity of internet crazies…
I never understood these shippers to be honest. I f any of those individuals want to hook up, get married, etc then its their decision. Saying that, Maks and Erin would make a cute couple but I have a feeling thats never gonna happen. As for the Michelle Obama thing, I don’t think it will ever happen ever but if one season wayyyyy down the road (lets say season 37) I’d think she would be a good match for Maks.
wow I honestly hoped it was a joke. I don’t even know what to say about those still shipping from season 5,6,7,8,9 anything more than one season ago should be done with.
For what it’s worth, Mark/Sabrina shippers appear to be so-called adults as well. The Chelsie/Mark shippers appear to run a little young but they are no less creepy and invasive than the Maks/Erin/Brandy/Kirstie shippers. But everyone gets attention on the internet so it may be worth it to the parties involved.
Based on the comments I’m still getting on Erin/Maks and Brandy/Maks videos on my YT channel I must echo Courtney’s statement – “Bitches be crazy!” LOL
Teresa, honestly, I agree with you…
And would you believe that there are still shippers from season 4 out there, still going strong, and still desperately trying to ship what has been shown isn’t ever going to happen?
Shippers…. The only drawback to being able to see past seasons of DWTS again…. I fear that it will just make the crazies even crazier!
Yes Deena, the Mark/Sabrina shippers are well into their 30s, 40s, and 50s !!! They even mentioned that they are grandmothers, etc. A few follow him occasionally to see him perform/sing….as if he was a member of the Beatles or something…SMH.
The Marksie shippers are the younger ones.
No matter how many times he tells them “NO, we are not dating!” or “No, the songs are not about tha person.”….They keep at it lol !
lol, imo the worst is a tie between Erin’s and Kirstie’s. some of their fans are waaaaaaay out their.
Don’t know about that… some of Brandy/Maks shippers are downright scary. They have their twitter pages decorated with the likes of “Brandy & Maks 4ever.” The other night they came unglued when Maks started following Erin Andrews. The tweets…oh God… Come on, following someone on twitter is not a sign of a relationship. Maks didn’t “cheat” on Brandy.
In that same vein… folks who tweet ANY of the pros and tag them incessantly should stop it.
@Winter – YES! Thank you – drives me batsh*t crazy when people tweet the pros nonstop. It just clogs up their @replies, people. Quit asking for shout-outs and retweets – just looks desperate & fangirly. Oh, and the fan wars where they decide to copy in a certain pro? Laaaame. And to the lunatics who think they need to police Twitter & report anyone “trash talking” about Maks to Maks (and sometimes Val, Tony, Teddy, Elena, Dasha, etc, too) – seriously, get a life.
Every season I usually see a couple that I like and think,”Oh they would make a really cute couple(outside of DWTS).” I don’t go on about how they should go out, and it’s true love, and that stupid stuff those shippers do. I really wish people could grow up and act mature and just say,” They’re cute together,” and leave it at that. Some people just never grow up and get a life.
LMAO… Thanks for all the laughs about the shippers and all the shipping wars. Maks and Mark seem to always cause the most shipping with their partners because I think they cause a lot of it intentionally to create a story arc. The Apolo and Julianne shippers lasted for several years as well… =P
@Winter @Courtney – truer words. The constant “please reply me, please notice me, please see how I spam your twitter account 10 times a day because I don’t have a life, please tweet back/follow me because you are my inspiration and role model/BFF/soulmate, I’ll die if you don’t reply back because I/parents/siblings/best friend had surgery/have exams/it will make me feel better because someone I see on TV tweets back. And when the pros do tweet back, it is NEVER enough because they start up again the next day, only changing the words.
Michelle Obama? While that would be nice to see ( Dancing the tango, First Lady Michelle Obama and her partner…) I just think Security would be an issue (plus people have lost manners these days or so it seems, that I imagine to hear boos before she even goes on). People ARE crazy!!
Okay, this is a non DWTS related question and it’s days like these that make me miss Twitter.
But Heidi, Just out of curiosity, what do you make of the X Factor blood bath and the celebrations going around cyber world of Nicole’s departure?
I predicted 6 months before the show started that it wouldn’t come close to Idol, that casting Paula was a mistake, and that the success of the Voice was going to be a detriment to it. Think I was right? I do. 🙂 As for Nicole – she’s not the problem, Simon and Paula were. You can’t put Simon and Paula next to each other and expect people to think it’s a fresh new show. It feels old and stale with the two of them. And frankly, I think people are just tired of Simon. As for people celebrating? Well there are idiots in every fandom. 🙂 I didn’t watch XF, so don’t have a clue about Nicole. But ask me WHY I didn’t watch it – I think I already told you. 🙂
I did watch and what I can say about Nicole is … OMG, she was AWFUL in this. Everytime she was booed for a comment, she came back with some remark about how she’s an artist, not a judge and OMG, she FEELS for these creative people because, you know, she’s creative. Um… she was hired to be a judge. She couldn’t own a decision if it was gifted to her.
For those that watched her on The Sing Off, she was MUCH different. I loved her in the The Sing Off, but quickly grew to dislike her on X-Factor.
I did see Nicole on the UK version of XF and she was great on there. I do wonder what the environment was like working on that show with Simon, though. From what I read he instigated a lot of shit. Between the judges, that is.
Doesn’t matter either way, I probably still won’t watch it regardless. I only have so much time for reality shows and I much prefer the other two singing shows to XF.
You are psychic as always. I swear. lol
As for me, I didn’t like the audition phase of XF. I thought they were boring, but, I stuck it out and I ended up loving the show once they went into mentoring at their houses. Then I was hooked. I also ended up loving some of the contestants…especially Chris Rene. Imo, Simon was nuts to break the team/family he started. The ratings were up by the end as well. He must have some bigger replacements planned and I bet Mariah Carey is one them.
His big mistake was setting expectations too high. 5 Mil to the winner, then claiming he would beat Idol out of the box – his ego did him in. He doesn’t know how to manage expectations. It’s one of the most expensive shows on TV and was only pulling in 12 million viewers. Of course, the article I read was from The Hollywood Reporter and they said “most expensive on TV” – I wonder if they meant most expensive reality show. If they meant most expensive in general?? That’s INSANE. No way is he going to get by with only 12 million viewers without getting some flack and having to fire everyone.
I wonder if Paula will now come to DWTS as a contestant. 🙂 A website will say that she’s under consideration in 5…4…3…
Heidi, I instantly remembered you and what you had said when this was all announced. I’ll be fair and honest and say, I didn’t really watch the X Factor. Actually, I didn’t watch it…EVER. I went to a taping of the auditions and Nicole did ask some somewhat odd questions but in the end, she was nothing but enjoyable (and no that’s not my bias talking) I respect and love Nicole as a singer and a performer (And yes, I do see how she connects as an artist to the music), but these fans that act like she’s not talented and is desperately trying to hold on to her career are driving me nuts. I know. I know. I shouldn’t be reading the haterade but man, it’s so sickening I can’t turn away. LOL. Thanks!
My major issues w XF were Nicole, who couldn’t judge, and all the stuff going on in the performances (the dancers, lights, neon stuff, smoke, props……the performance that stands out most to me in that regard was the “sweet dreams are made of these” (is that thw songs name? it is now lol) one comes to mind. ).
@Princess heidi: I have a feeling she is going to take an offer from DWTS much more seriously now lol Idk about anyone else but Derek and Paula sounds good to me.
Yeah, Vin and Heidi the minute I saw that Paula has been ” fired ” from XFactor I thought ” She’s probably going to get a BIG offer from DWTS now “. She would be reaalllyyyy cool. They should ask Nicole too….oh wait. 🙂
I feel bad for Paula becuase she was fully invested in X Factor though. Probably a lot more than L.A. Reid and Nicole were. If Simon got rid of L.A. I would be thrilled. L.A. is way too into himself and belittles everyone elses acts when all he had was a MichaelJackson-Neyo mix type of singer, a wanabee Jay-Z, a wannabee Micahel Buble, and Chris Rene (didn’t quite understand how he got as far as he did).
[…] case you missed chapter 1 and chapter 2, this is a series where I talk about what I see on Twitter that makes me roll my eyes in […]
If HulkHogan refuses to appear on dwts, I bet Bret Hitman Hart will! he is so beautifully handsome. Natalie
