Dancing With The Stars Bill Engvall “Throwing It All Out There”
Bill Engvall tells XFinity that he’s got nothing to lose and he wants to be the first comedian to win Dancing With The Stars. Below is such a cute and fun passage explaining his dance with Emma last week. I also love how he said something came over him and he just wanted to “throw it all out there”.
If you knew what our week was like,” he sighed. “I couldn’t get it all week and Emma kept saying, ‘It’s just a dance. Just do it.’
“And we had our dress rehearsal and when I went to spin her, I didn’t do it right and I thought she hit her head on the floor and I was like, ‘Oh, my God. This is not good.’
“She probably has breast cancer because I [accidentally] slapped her right in the boob. Really hard, and I was like, this could not go any worse!
“And then, we got backstage and she always gets this twinkle in her eye and she says, ‘Let’s just do this. Leave nothing on the floor.’”
Engvall started the dance by walking through a prop saloon door. “I knew when I came through the saloon doors that I had it. Something came over me and I went, ‘I’m going to throw it all out there and if it sucks, it sucks but if it’s good, it’s going to be stellar’ and I was so proud of it.”
The funnyman said during his TV rehearsal footage that he actually wanted to win “DWTS.”
When asked why, he told xfinityTV, “because no comedian’s ever won it, nobody thought I would get past the first elimination, and we made it past the second elimination, so I figure, screw it. What do I got to lose?”
Go for it Bill and Emma! Do the same this coming Monday night!
I love everything about Bill and Emma… And by reading parts of his interview this pairing is rock solid and golden…
“And then, we got backstage and she always gets this twinkle in her eye and she says, ‘Let’s just do this. Leave nothing on the floor.’” 🙂
All my votes go to Bill and Emma. And who knows, they just might have what it takes to make the finals.
I would love to see Bill & Emma in the finals, and if he keeps improving like he has been, he might just pull it off! Talk about “rock solid and golden” – agree with Sandy, these two just click.
Unlike some other couples, but that’s another thread …..
You said it, Sandy! Bill and Emma are a match made in DWTS Heaven. Of course TPTB were working with high quality material in both Celeb and Pro.
I hope this pairing does for Emma what Nancy did for Tristan and Andy did for Sharna.
This is one of my pet peeves – messing up of sayings. It is “Leave EVERYTHING (or “it all”) on the floor”. Bill got it right…Emma did not.
The other one that drives me bat shit crazy is people saying “I could care less.” Um, no, it’s “I COULDN’T care less.” The meaning of the saying is completely destroyed in both cases otherwise.
I also love this couple. I was uncertain how Bill would perform, but was pulling for him from the start, because he is one of the very few stand up comedians that I would go see.
I’m really enjoying Bill and Emma and I hope he lasts a little longer. I’ve been impressed with Emma as a pro, she has a great personality and is really getting the most out of her partner. I think both she and Sasha are proving they deserved the upgrade to pro status. His height may be a factor in him being used regularly going forward (they’ll need to have a short star to use him), but she should definitely be a regular, in my opinion.
I agree, PH, it’s like nails on a chalkboard for me when someone says “I could care less”. I know I’m in the minority, but it also grates when people say “good” when they should use “well” and “I” when they should say “me”.
I’ll consider giving Emma a pass on “leave [nothing] on the floor” because it’s probably an Americanism not used often in the UK.
I think your right Cidra, I have found that some sayings that the British use are quite different from the ones that we are accustomed to using.
I love the pros with an accent, beit British, Australian it doesn’t matter. I love to listen to them speak.
Cidra you must not having any nails left once you are done reading my posts. 🙂
The thing is about Emma and that quote, she might not have said it. Did anyone hear her say it? Maybe she said it the right way, or something that meant a similar thing and he paraphrased what he remembered her saying to him. Or maybe the journalist who wrote the story got it wrong.
LOL, Sandy 😛 Didn’t mean to come across as a Bertha Better than You grammar nazi. I hardly error-free. That said, I’m going to pay close attention to the grammar in your comments from now on *just kidding* because I don’t remember you standing out as a prime offender. 😉
Good point, Jess.
Tee-hee, see, Sandy, “me” can’t type!…“I hardly error-free.” 🙄
I am surprised I fell in love with a couple so quickly. But I love Bill Engvall and Emma Slater! They are an amazing partnership already! He clearly loves her and she seems quite happy she got him!
I knew of Bill and that he had a conic career. But I never really followed him to learn much about him. But now I am reading as much about him as I can.
I know he is probably a long shot to win. But maybe he has the fans who will vote heartily for him. I really haven’t had a couple this early that I want to win.
But I say:
BILL ENGVALL AND EMMA SLATER FOR THE WIN!
I’d like to add I find it annoying for Bill to say he probably caused breast cancer by accidentally hitting Emma in the boob. Just one of my pet peeves, but I also like this couple. They seem to be having fun.
@Lois – I agree. I adore this couple.
@PrincessHeidi
I know, but I think those mistakes are far more forgivable – to me anyway – than this dumb shit “I should of, or, I would of”!!!! WTF is that?
That’s not all, almost everyone types “to” when it should be “too” and “too” when it should be “to”!! What? Is English their second language or did they stop going to school after 1 grade?? I want to fucking yell at them whenever I spot this garbage all across the internet.
I do like Bill and Emma too. She got me a little upset doing that “tango alike” foxtrot, but he didn’t suck yet.
I’m a little worried about Corby… want him calm down. Sometimes he seems cocky, I think… and he’s fine but not spetacular.
