Kym Johnson And Robert Herjavec Talk About Their New Dances For DWTS Week 8
Access Hollywood interviewed Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec in rehearsals. The two never thought they’d make it this far. They talk on their new dances coming up too. Note how two women are helping them this week. They might “kiss” too. More below…
Eeek…please no kiss.
I hope they don’t kiss. I love them just the way they have been dancing. If they do kiss then it would make them just like Val and his partners. They shouldn’t have to do this to get votes…
Kym is the main reason I was excited to see this season of dwts and I really do love her and Robert together. However, the past two weeks his overly “handsy” and apparent obsession with her is starting to give me weird vibes. I think they are really a couple and Kym is into him but he is just way way too over the top with it lately. I hope for the love of God they don’t kiss! All those damn shippers on twitter are flooding them with requests to practically make out! And if he doesn’t wear a shirt I’m not watching their dance! I LOVE her and really like him but that’s not a mental image I need.
I like Robert but he sure is acting like a teenage boy who’s hormones are in total overdrive!! Keep your hands to yourself a bit Robbie! Also – no kissing please! Save that for behind the scenes!!
Yeah, though I suspect they are possibly more then a showmance (good for them if that’s the case) they are dancing for their place in the competition on Monday as they are down 7pts already. Don’t hit us over the head with something that is not necessary in your performance just focus on the dancing! So I echo what everyone has said
I think Kym and Robert handled that interview REALLY well. Whether they are a couple or not, they are playing the showmance up for the DWTS’ cameras. I didn’t think they played “lovey dovey” in this interview at all, but they were trying to be coy. Robert is quick with the verbal comeback, but when it comes to being on the show he is not a very good actor; he actually over acts the ‘I’m in love/lust” part which I think is the problem. Robert is smart enough to not show his true feelings on camera; he’s a very successful businessman who knows how to do a poker face. I don’t think he would give away a real relationship.
I like them. A lot of kidding going on between them, gives a glimpse into the way they relate to each other. I think Robert is genuinely extremely enthusiastic about this whole experience. Yes the man has his own jet, but how many opportunities does he have to be playful, joyful, musical, giddy, a student. He IS like a kid in a candy shop. But I don’t think he’s like that around Kym all the time. He’ll probably be gone quite soon, so I’m happy he gets to do a couple more dances.
I love Kym’s entire persona: her charm, sweetness, humor and of course, her stunning dancing. I am so happy to watch her & Robert; he lucked out with her as a teacher. They do seem to be in to each other; it’ll be interesting to see what happens after he leaves the show.
Whatever is or isn’t going on between Kym and Robert is entirely their own business as far as I’m concerned. If they’re interested in a post-DWTS relationship, good for them.
TPTB tapped them as this season’s showmance, and they’re fulfilling their responsibility in this area. However, thanks to Kym’s class and good sense, they’re doing it in a much more understated way than gag-worthy Val and Maks. Kym’s light touch makes it possible for anti-showmancers/anti-shippers like me to enjoy their partnership. So I really hope she doesn’t cave to the lunatic shippers.
I would be okay if he a peck on the cheek or in silhouette. Keep everyone guessing!
If they kiss on the mouth, it will be gag worthy.
I agree, Jill L, a peck on the cheek is sufficient. Robert knows exactly what he is doing and Kym is playing it cool. I call it teasing the viewers.
I agree with Cidra, in that whatever is (or will be) going on between them is their business. But I think it’s terrible to be designing the dance around a kiss. IMO, that’s waaay over-the-top, and it shows desperation to cave to shippers. Talk about Rumer being “one-note” – consider this couple. Seems like they’ve played up the handsy, goo-goo-eyed “chemistry”, over and above everything else. Just stop it, and DANCE! If you want to make out, go get a room.
I’m just never a fan of the kiss in a dance. Dancing should be a suggestion, not an overt action – at least in my opinion. It takes away the power of the possible and grounds it in a very “meh” reality. Val and Janel’s kiss had zero impact for me when they actually did it. Maybe for the shippers it has an effect, but me – no thanks.
@Fig I totally agree with you. I was a vanel (or however you call it) shipper, but the kiss was a total turn-off for me. Peck on the cheek maximum for me in a dance. I like kym and robert and I think they’re cute together, but they’re overly goeey together. Like it’s too much, I would like them more if robert especially would tone it down lol.
