More New Dancing With The Stars Season 17 Cast Rehearsal Interviews
Leah Remini tells Shaun Robertson of Access Hollywood how hard it’s been to stand up straight for a Fox Trot. Tony Dovolani explains and says they are going to have the “best growing pattern”. Leah jokes about her dancing experience saying she was kicked out of tap dancing when she was 3 or 4. Shaun Robertson also asks Leah about her friend Jennifer Lopez who plans to be in the audience for support. More below.
Also, below are new Access Hollywood dance rehearsals interviews with Bill Nye & Tyne Stecklein (hmmm uhhhh), Bill Engvall & Emma Slater(wow, not bad), and Peta Murgatroyd & Brant Daugherty(he looks good too) as they ready for the show. Check them out and let us know what you think.
I wonder how many shots of Jennifer Lopez in the audience we will get Monday night?
Fun interviews with the Bills and Brant – Bill N looking decent, and Brant also, though his partnership with Peta doesn’t seem entirely comfortable to me. Bill E isn’t looking quite as good, but he doesn’t look terrible either – and I love his attitude!
Leah and Tony – something seems a little “off” in their partnership as well, and Leah seems much quieter here than she was on Ellen. Based on Tony’s comment that she’s going to have a great improvement arc, my guess is she isn’t looking too good at the moment.
@Winter – I hope NONE.
Leah even managed to get in a plug for JLo’s shoe line…
Leah was hysterical! To me they all seem to be close with their partners. I have to say though Brant has really good posture.
Wow Brian looking all like Gilles with the good looks, sharpness, and beautiful lines. That explains why Peta is pumped and thinks they can go to the finals! He is looking awesome!
Wrong name. Brant is what i meant!
Nye & Ty are dancing jive week one ?
#7 Linde, they all practice their second week dance which is usually jive that follows first week cha cha
thanks Alicia – that makes more sense…
Butterfly, it’s early days yet and some partnerships take longer to get to the comfort zone than others. Of course, Peta could be under instructions to start a showmance and Brant might not be on board with the idea. I hope that’s not the case because Brant’s dance moves looked better than I expected them to. So I want to see him dance not showmance.
Was it just me or was Shaun literally cross-examining Leah about her previous dance experience? I get the feeling Leah’s quite nervous about dancing, moreso than most of the other celebs.
It looks like Bill E has made good progress from the first clip which is great.
Bill N looked a bit sketchy, but they probably haven’t spent that much time on the jive.
Am I the only one kind of rooting for Bill Engvall? At this point I am more eager to see Bill E. dance than I am to see Brant.
I’m rooting for Bill E and Emma, I just don’t think he’ll be that much of a dancer, and the dancing is very important to me. So from a dancing standpoint, I’m more interested in seeing Brant. It’s so unfortunate that he’s paired with Peta because lately she’s hard for me to like.
Your right Cidra, I think it’s more Peta than it is Brant.
I don’t know if any of yall have seen this yet but DWTS just posted a Vine and it shows Tyne and Bill Cha Cha which looks Pretty good btw. But I noticed that the judges desk is on the other side of the floor than usual and i noticed underneath the skybox they are setting something up so maybe that’s where the Post Dance interviews will be. Brant and Peta look to be threats that clip of him doing a new yorker into the rondes was pretty damn great. Also the getty images picture were amazing, Peta was right his legs are gonna be a huge advantage for them. His legs are long and that works great with finishing lines that Peta is known for. This is a potential power team and I’m rooting for them.
I agree. I think Brant will do extremely well in the ballroom dances. He has the perfect posture and his lines are beautiful. He’s definitely a contender.
If Bill E can break the comedian curse and actually dance, this could be interesting.
I agree that it’s still early, Cidra. However, if you look at Leah and Tony or Brant and Peta and then look at Amber and Derek, or Valerie and Tristan, or Corbin and Karina, or Bill N and Tyne, you can see that they don’t have the connection or the chemistry that those other couples have. That’s all. It will be interesting to see if it develops more.
I’m *hoping* that Peta just dances, and doesn’t try to force the sexy with Brant, because I also think he could be a good dancer – and I liked Peta when she was with Donald.
I’m also rooting for Bill E, and I’m hoping that he’ll stick around for awhile. I think that as long he isn’t a cringe-worthy dancer (like, for instance, DL), I’ll be happy for him to stay for a few weeks, even if he isn’t the best dancer. While dance ability is definitely part of why I like a celeb, personality is also a huge part (and the personality of the pro partner too) – and I’d rather have someone stick around whose personality I enjoy versus a better dancer with a personality I don’t enjoy – again, as long as the dancing isn’t cringe worthy 🙂
