1. Winners of Dancing with the Stars Professionals and Celebrities

   August 15, 2011 by Admin

   Each season of Dancing with the Stars has been really interesting and amusing. Watching the celebrities learn how to maneuver with the large costumes is a real treat for many people and with so much going on during the whole season it is really easy to forget just how important it is to really take some time to look at the real winners for each season.

   Season one gave us the winners Kelly Monaco and Alec Mazo. With Alec coming in as the oldest professional winner and Kelly Monaco the first winner of the show a hit series was born. By bringing the success of the show together with all of the great benefits that are provided a truly hit series was created. Kelly Monaco the season one winner is an actress and is quite well known for her role on the hit show General Hospital.

   Season two was off in full force quickly and allowed the viewers the opportunity to really start connecting with the stars. Drew Lachey the younger brother to singer Nick Lachey and also a former member of the boy band 98 Degrees pulled out a win with professional Cheryl Burke. The duo performed excellently together and had a fabulous time.

   Season three started with several great players and found the winner in Emmitt Smith a retired running back who was partnered with Cheryl Burke. This represented the second consecutive win for Cheryl, but the first win for Emmitt. After dancing his way into the hearts of viewers, he managed to pull a great win.

   Season four was a great treasure with the winner Apolo Anton Ohno who was paired up with Julianne Hough. Julianne Hough was the youngest professional winner at only 18 when she helped Apolo Anton Ohno who was the youngest celebrity at 25 dance his way to win. Performing beautifully the entire season together, they enjoyed a large amount of success.

   Season five was another great season for Julianne Hough’s who secured her second consecutive victory with Helio Castroneves as her celebrity partner. Helio a racecar driver for the Indy series performed really well however seemed a weaker contestant against the runner up Melanie Brown.

   Season six saw a return of the women to the winning ranks. Kristi Yamaguchi an Olympic champion figure skater pulled out a win with professional partner Mark Ballas for the last season. After winning the highest scores for the entire season and the only perfect score for a contestant so far, Kristi was the true favorite of the crowd when she finished the season in top position.

   Looking at all of the winners of Dancing with the Stars it is easy to see that the men have routinely dominated the winners circle. With men capturing the title for four straight seasons in a row it is time for the women to step up and compete better in order to keep the title from reverting back to a male contestant in the subsequent season 7 that is scheduled to start in the fall of 2008. With contestants still under wraps at this point, finding the perfect matching pair to win the hearts of the judges and the viewers is not always easy. Dancing with the Stars is certainly destined to grow even further and the previous six winners make it a great experience.

2. Facts and Trivia from Dancing with the Stars

   June 28, 2011 by Admin

   Looking at all of the seasons of Dancing with the Stars it is rather interesting the patterns that start to emerge sometimes. Learning some of the facts and trivia of the show can be really entertaining and is often quite exciting.

   There are numerous tidbits of trivia that is not always widely known. For example, the oldest male celebrity in the competition was George Hamilton at 66; the youngest male celebrity so far was Mario at a spry 21 years old.

   The oldest female celebrity was Priscilla Presley, the widow of Elvis Presley at 62 years old. The other end of the spectrum found Sabrina Bryan at just 23 the youngest female celebrity.

   The oldest professional is Nick Kosovich at a mere 43 and Julianne Hough takes the prize for being the youngest at only 19.

   If you start looking at actual performance on the show there are several other interesting things to learn.

   Jerry Springer is the one celebrity with the greatest number of bottom 2 appearances. He appeared in the bottom 2 a grand total of four times before being eliminated.

   For professionals, Edyta Sliwinska has appeared in the bottom 2 a total of 12 times, however this is spread across all six seasons as Edyta is the only professional to appear in all six seasons.

   Celebrities who have never been in the bottom two include: Drew Lachey, Mario Lopez, Emmitt Smith, Helio Castroneves, Apolo Anton Ohno, and finally season six winner Kristi Yamaguchi.

   Professionals who have been in the bottom two the least includes Fabian Sanchez, Mark Ballas and also Julianne Hough whom has also won two different seasons as well. These three professionals have each found themselves in the bottom 2 a single time.

   Kristi Yamaguchi is the only celebrity to place First in a total of eight instances. However, on the other end, P. Miller, Jerry Springer, Marie Osmond and Clyde Drexler all appeared in last place four times each.

   The list could go on for miles, but finding the details that are actually interesting is not always easy. After all, who really cares that the tallest celebrity to participate was Clyde Drexler at 6’7″ tall? Or that Marissa Jaret Winokur was the shortest at a tiny 5’0″? Most people instead are concerned with actual performances.

   As far as the most times champion for the professions both Julianne Hough and Cheryl Burke both win the prize after winning two seasons each. Additionally, Julianne enjoyed the thrill of being the youngest professional to win, being only 18 at the time of her first win and 19 at the time of her second. Alec Mazo who is also a winning professional was the oldest professional to win at 31 years old.

   For the celebrities themselves Apolo Anton Ohno was the youngest winner at only 25, while Emmitt Smith was the oldest at 37 years old.

   Looking over all of the seasons it is truly incredible just how diverse the group has been. While many of the professionals have remained the same throughout many seasons, there are constant changes in the celebrities that are sought. Trying to ensure that you are really looking over all of the true details and statistics is not always easy, but it can certainly be a lot of fun and when combined together with the thrill of the actual show can be a really great way to pass some time.

3. Dancing with the Stars The Tour

   June 24, 2011 by Admin

   Trying to maximize the financial boost of the show as much as possible during the broadcast on October 25, 2006, it was announced that Dancing with the Stars The Tour was going to start embarking around the country. With the promise of many of the celebrities as well as professionals all combined together for a great performance at a location near you the tour started out quite small and managed to grow substantially as time went out.

   After three successful tours the empire has continued to grow and the results that ABC are finding is absolutely incredible.

   The first tour kicked off on December 19, 2006 in sunny San Diego, California and wrapped up after 38 different arenas on February 11, 2007. The first tour showcased celebrities Drew Lachey, Joey McIntyre, Lisa Rinna, Joey Lawrence and Harry Hamlin. The professionals involved in the initial tour included Cheryl Burke, Kym Johnson, Louis van Amstel, Edyta Sliwinska, and Karina Smirnoff.

   Rout two for the tour was a bit smaller with only celebrities Joey McIntyre, Apolo Anton Ohno, Drew Lachey, Joey Lawrence and Joey Fatone combined with professionals Julianne Hough, Cheryl Burke, Edyta Sliwinska and lastly Kym Johnson.

   The third tour, which started on December 18, 2007 and ran through February 10, 2008 was much larger and offered a much greater cast. This time the tour included Sabrina Bryan, Monique Coleman, Joey Lawrence, Wayne Newton, Marie Osmond, Drew Lachey, Mario Lopez, Joey Fatone and finally Helio Castroneves for celebrities. The professionals for this tour included Mark Ballas, Derek Hough for a brief period, Alec Mazo, Edyta Sliwinska, Cheryl Burke, Jonathan Roberts, Kym Johnson, Brian Fortuna, Karina Smirnoff, and Julianne Hough.

   Trying to really generate interest for the tour, it was really important that it not last too long. Additionally, it is also extremely certain that the show would limit the show dates to accommodate the very small amounts of time that is left open between seasons. Dancing with the Stars continuously starts a new season after only very short breaks, which leaves very little time for a tour.

   The overall tour has not been as successful as the actual television show; however, it is has still performed extremely well with most audiences. The last run of the tour was certainly the biggest with the largest cast participating from all three tours.

   One person who was obviously missing from the third tour was Melanie Brown the second place winner for season five. Due to a Spice Girls Reunion Tour, she was unable to participate in the tour and was forced to miss out completely. Additional problems can when professional Cheryl Burke started having problems with her appendix and was forced to withdraw from the show.

   While it is not quite time for the next tour to set out across the country, it will be extremely curious to see celebrities like Joey Lawrence and Drew Lachey will return again, after all they are the only two celebrities who have participated in all three tours. Trying to work out an ever growing cast may be a nightmare logistically, but for the audience it means an even bigger and better show than previously and is certainly well worth all of the time and effort to really get great seats. After all, how many other opportunities are presented to actually see Dancing with the Stars live?
