Dancing With The Stars Gilles Marini Writes On First Dance And His New Injuries
Gilles Marini writes how he had forgotten how thrilling it is to dance in front of a live audience when he danced on Monday night. He also writes of suffering from some new injuries. Let’s hope they get well soon. According to his twitter and facebook account, the doctor has given him the “ok”. Also, today he practiced his new dance 20 times and he says it’s going to be “fantastic” and “all good”.
It can’t explain how amazing the energy was on Monday night. I forgot how thrilling it is to dance in front of a live audience. Peta and I worked really hard on our dance and even though I was excited to perform I was also nervous. I had a few set back during rehearsals. I tore my hamstring and a joint in my lower back and I wasn’t sure if they would affect my performance, but I pushed on and realized nothing can stop me once I am on that dance floor.

Everyone from the show always said how much fun he was and how much they liked him. I...
Wow, Gilles is falling apart!
First the “Brandy Syndrome”, now add in some “I’ve fallen and I might not get back up”!
Oi… I’m sorry, this is just too much drama for me.
He is so hot, but when he opens his mouth is such a turn off, SHUT UP dude.
I loved how he complained on twitter on Monday that HIS number wasn’t working correctly and he wanted ABC to fix it. He has all the bases covered in case he doesn’t do well…injuries, phone conspiracies, I wonder what is next.
I’m really disappointed in how this whole Gilles Marini thing is turning out. He was one of my favorites when the cast was originally announced, but now … I’m leaning i another direction. He continues to act like Brandy – wanting it a little too much – and now, all the talk about his injuries and how he’s going to dance for the fans, no matter what. In my opinion, he’s losing ground … fast.
I agree with all of you. I never thought I’d feel this way about Gilles, but I’d be perfectly happy to see him go sooner than later. I like everybody else more at this point, except Bristol and Kirstie. And if Bristol improves her attitude every week like she did last week, I might just pull for her over Gilles, too!
Still pretty sure we’ll see him in the finals, however, But you never know.
The average DWTS viewer isn’t reading his tweets and such, so I doubt it will affect the majority of his fanbase as long as his performances, the packages, and in-show interviews still portray him favorably.
Before I found this site, I was that AVERAGE DWTS viewer and for years I voted strictly by watching the show.
I wonder, however, how long it will be before it bleeds over into the show. Brooke already brought up his injuries and there is a certain point where fans stop being concerned about a star’s injuries and start to become annoyed by whining. Also the video of him on Tuesday (where he repeated about 25 times that he isn’t a dancer), was funny but also showed some of his whiny side. Some of it will depend on what the show chooses to show.
Me, too, Sandy. Though I still vote by what I see on the show, dance wise. At least until there are only 6 or 7 couples left, by that point I normally have a definite favorite. This season could be different though, because I really like so many of them.
Definitely agree about the video about Gilles saying he is not a dancer. I think it was meant to be funny, but it just came across as whining. That’s why the show is called Dancing with the Stars not Dancing with Other Dancers. har har
