Kym Johnson Chats About Tonight’s Dances On Dancing With The Stars Week 8
Let’s hope Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson can make a really strong showing tonight!!! Here is a little teaser on tonight’s dance from OK! Magazine.
“We’re just gonna have to put a lot of work in,” says Kym. “I feel Ingo is improving every single week and he’s picking things up a lot quicker so we’ll have more time to refine the dances and make them perfect.”
A challenge in this week’s performance is that each couple is required to add a third dancer to their routine.
“We have Lindsay (Arnold),” says Kym. “I was going to take Cheryl (Burke) but I switched and I let Karina take her because I’m a nice person. Or stupid.”
“One of the things we have is we have a really fun song,” says Ingo. “We have the Jive and I think that will hopefully make it more fun.”
“I switched and I let Karina take her because I’m a nice person. Or stupid.”
WHAT?!? Oh Kym, Kym, KYM. 😯 If I’m Lindsay and reading that, how do I feel? I guess this goes to show that even the queen of PC rainbows shooting out the ass can make a mistake every now & again. Maybe that football hit her in the head harder than I thought… 😉
Omg, that statement was SUCH a jab a Lindsay lol But I understand what she’s saying. Cheryl has a much larger fan base and is more recognizable to the DWTS audience then Lindsay. So automatically some Cheryl fans will vote. Makes sense.
With only six couples left and Ingo and Sean fighting neck and neck for another week I can see how she would feel stupid for not taking Cheryl over Lindsay. Not that Lindsey isn’t an amazing dancer but cheryl has serious recognition and fan votes!
Also I can’t read the article. It just takes to a picture of them and nothing else. Anyone else have that problem?
I can see that she would want Cheryl because she has a stronger fan base which could help them. But I still don’t see that as being a very great thing to say. I’ve never LOVED kym, but she sure isn’t my favorite person now.
Heather – yeah, I had that problem on my iPhone. Had to use a PC (get away from the mobile site) to read it.
I don’t know…as badly as it was put, I actually kind of agree with Kym. Yes, Lindsay is a great dancer, and yes, Cheryl has a larger fanbase, but I don’t think that’s it. Cheryl’s known to be a really tough teacher, and honestly, I think if anyone needs a good kick in the ass at this point, it’s Ingo (Sean just needs to be kicked off). I’m no Cheryl fan, but even with mediocre choreography, that girl is a tough cookie, at least compared to Kym who’s (usually) sweet as honey. Kym’s a good choreographer, and I think she realized she needed someone to help hammer the moves into Ingo without giving him time in between practicing to be a negative Nancy.
I know that doesn’t justify Kym’s statement, but, from a purely logical standpoint, I get it. And, come on, I’m sure most people what have come to the same conclusion.
Ugh, meant to add: I saw the statement more as “I was stupid to let Cheryl go,” rather than “I was stupid to choose Lindsay.” I guess I just saw it as more of a compliment to Cheryl rather than a slight towards Lindsay. Also, the way it’s phrased, Lindsay could have been any other eliminated female pro/troupe member; Kym was just saying she thinks Cheryl is better in general.
Yeah, I can see what you’re saying. I think it’s just phrased horribly. You have to “work it” to see the compliment. And that’s not normally Kym. So, I’m back to – it was either the football, or I heard she was sick this week… 😉
It is pretty awful wording. Poor girl. Between the Hines Ward incident and Jacoby’s football aim, I’m starting to think she’s just a magnet for accidents around wide receivers.
I agree with you Sara. I highly doubt Kym meant it as a slight to Lindsay, but rather she was thinking that she may be giving the upper hand to Karina. In fact Karina made mention to Kym that she was sorry that she took Cheryl. Plus Kym and Cheryl are pretty good friends (not sure why) and probably work well together. Kym is a really sweet person and if she realized how the off-handed remark would be construed then I’m sure she’d feel bad.
Then there’s always the possibilty that OK! took her quote out of context… I wouldn’t exactly put OK! in the same category as Time or National Geographic. Or even People… After all, Omorosa from The Apprentice is supposedly the West Coast editor for them.
Thanks, RJ. Nice to know some people agree with me 🙂
Not sure who Omorosa is…and I don’t watch the Apprentice, but OK! has never really been in my credible source list.
Well let’s say that Omarosa hasn’t been exactly considered a credible source herself judging by the way she’s been on Apprentice…
Kim actually said it in an interview as well… OTRC after the last results show? Maybe. I think so. Either that or the Access Hollywood after the last results show.
