Dancing with the Stars Season 9 – Week 4 News and Other Media
My favorite pro is very sick. ๐ He tweeted this morning that his whole body hurt and he had chills and sweats and that he could barely stand up. Joanna is rehearsing tonight with Maks, which would be my pro of choice if Derek had to sit out for a few days. Anyway, according to Joanna and her manager, Derek has a 104 degree fever and has been to the doctor. Hopefully he was given Tamiflu and he’ll be back shortly. Hopefully VERY shortly. Much as I like Maks, Derek’s my boy. For anyone who might have forgotten that fact. ๐
Derek and Joanna’s Lambada is one of TV’s Top 5 on AOL. Cool.
In the past I have been known to double post media here and at PureDerekHough – tonight I am very, very lazy and I’m just giving you several PDH links to LOTS of video which has Derek/Joanna content, but also has Donny, Melissa, Kelly and others.

Chuck Liddell lays into ‘Dancing With the Stars’ judges: ‘Screw those guys’
Former Ultimate Fighting champ Chuck Liddell isn’t pleased with the professional judges who helped give him the boot from “Dancing With the Stars”.
“Screw those guys,” he said. “They don’t know what they’re talking about half the time, anyway.”
While Liddell was ousted from the popular prime time show he simultaneously heard good news about his next gig โ a role in an upcoming Mickey Rourke film.
“It’s a bigger movie,” Liddell said, adding that it was too early to reveal many details, but noting that the film had a strong cast.
Amid a flood of text messages from friends and family, Liddell spoke Wednesday about his experiences by telephone from Los Angeles, where he had been learning to dance since August. He survived into the fourth week of the show. But after he performed a two-step dance with partner Anna Trebunskaya on Monday night, the judges gave Liddell a low score of 17 out of 30 points. He was eliminated on Tuesday’s show.

Oh Louis. I can see your point, but this isn’t a new issue. ABC Local LAhas a bunch of vids, click the link. I’ve put Kelly’s below cause I lurve her. ๐
I think that’s all for now. I’ll have more tomorrow. ๐
Honestly, I really liked Chuck and he was very endearing, but his dancing was purely awful. The judges were actually pretty easy on him as far as score goes, judging by his dancing. I love Louie Vito, he such a cutie!
“โScrew those guys,โ he said. โThey donโt know what theyโre talking about half the time, anyway.โ”
His statement is my major beef with the show. The majority of the contestants don’t respect the opinion of judges, particular Len. The audience doesn’t either.They’re told to boo loudly and anything that they consider negative. The pros should stress that the judges opinions are important and really try to change things if the judges aren’t liking it and not say “oh screw the judges” or “we’re only going to go for the audience vote”
Katrina,
Why do you care if they care about the judges vote or not? I mean, I’m not encouraging people to disrespect anyone, let alone the judges, but if someone has a strategy to not worry about the judges that’s fine with me.
John, because at least to (and Chuck isn’t the first one to do this) me, it gives the impression to people watching that the contestants don’t care about the judges vote, which they should. The audience watching the show for the most part know absolutely jack about what should be in the dance. Len (and to some degree Bruno) does and thus his comments should be paid attention too.
