DWTS Tony Dovolani Says NeNe Leakes Didn’t Know What She Signed Up For (Rehearsal Video)
But, she’s “competitive” and a “go getter”. Take a look and let us know what you think?
Hmmm….she looks better than I first thought she would be.
ETA: Tony was also interviewed by That’s Your Reality. Below are a few things he talked about. Be sure to read the link for more.
The bar is set high for Tony, who won Season 15 with Melissa Rycroft. The pro said that since his All Stars win, he feels like a huge weight has been lifted off of him. “It’s hard to go season to season and see some of the same people win over and over. I’ve learned something with each and every one of my partners but I gotta tell you, it felt good to win,” he told us.
Whether NeNe and Tony will have to change partners remains to be seen but with or without him, he feels that her chances in the competition are looking good. “I think she’s got what it takes. She works hard, she’s got soul, she hears music beautifully and any time she’s hit a rough patch in rehearsals, she prevails by working hard, asking the right questions, and wanting it. I can’t wait for America to see what she’s got!”
They don’t interest me at all. She didn’t know what she signed up for? I don’t believe that for a second. That’s Tony’s lead in to eventually start playing the “my partner doesn’t have any dance experience” card. And he will play it.
They don’t interest me either.
Does NeNe have a huge, fanatically loyal fanbase that will vote for her? If not, we should be able to get rid of her week 1 or 2 because she’s such an unlikable loud-mouth that I can’t see the average DWTS viewer voting for her.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the person who Erin made a point of saying she’s totally in awe of. I’m just waiting for her to say something to that effect in her co-host role. Such bad judgment, all around.
I think Nene was pretty calm and imho likeable (albeit tired) in this interview. I’ve seen clips of her on her show and that’s not the case so we’ll see which Nene shows up. I for one dislike these “reality” shows coz as we all know there’s nothing real about them and it’s scene after scene of obnoxiousness so I’d like to see the real Nene and if it’s the loud or the calm one. That said, I really don’t like the blonde hair :/.
I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt, since she is very open about her past experiences, but….. I’ve changed my mind.
Tony just can’t give it a rest can he? I guess it has never crossed his mind that some pros win over and over because they are better teachers and choreographers than he is. I wonder how many times he whined to the producers before they promised him a win.
From the little bit they showed of them dancing, I am pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a train wreck and she is more of a dancer than expected (a little reminiscent of Wynonna Judd ironically in the way she moves….small steps…doesn’t seem to move big). Saying that, still think it’s either her or Billy Dee going home first and I hope it’s her. The more Emma on my TV screen the better 🙂
Well, as a former stripper, she is a kind of dancer. So I fully expect her to have rhythm and the ability to control various parts of her anatomy. I just hope she can’t control her mouth and offends enough of the audience so that they punch her ticket for the first elimination train.
can’t wait for her reaction to the first round of judges’ comments. she better bring something good to the dance floor or we’re likely to see sparks flying 🙂
Some, including myself, may find her brash and even unlikable, but AT LEAST when she’s asked about others with dance experience she’s answered by saying she has soul rather than play the pathetic victim that Tony often gets his celebs to play. I admit I didn’t listen to this current interview, I’m only basing it on what she said on Jimmy Fallon and OTRC. I don’t care for the pair enough to not watch more, but as always, I greatly appreciate that Vogue gives coverage to everyone.
Thanks Jess and don’t worry, I totally understand if you don’t care to watch more. lol x
