Dancing with the Stars...on ABC...in HD! - Page 103

I had a thought about Afton DelGrosso being a "Legacy". After what they did to Ashley in season 2, sticking her with the horrendous Master P, the producers should have given her entire family a lifetime employment contract just to make amends.

^^^ I'll second that.

Agreed. This was a very pretty dress (but not enough skin).

Ahh, that's better.




maybe it's just me, but it seems like Melissa and Tony are overly fond of this move. Not that's there's anything wrong with that.

I definitely caught it as it happened. Thought wow, that one was obvious and surprised there wasn't a cut away.


When they showed the rehearsals and LT's obvious dislike of the dance, it's no wonder they put him in back, especially when they were in a line, and the camera angles didn't show him much.

Excellent Mac!!
More nationally televised teabaggings please!

I meant to answer this before, but I got sidetracked and forgot about it.

They have had an episode where they said that the dancers didn't know what the music would be until it was handed to them on Tuesday.

However, since that episode aired, a couple of dancers have made comments which implied (at least in my mind) that they now have some form choice or input on the music selection.

IIRC they didn't have any choice on the costumes in the first couple of seasons, so I think that has changed too.

There were some really good looking poses in Melissa and Tony's dance this week and I really liked seeing her legs too. She's been wearing long dresses in the previous weeks, but IMHO, she should show off those great legs of hers.

weekly bump

All the second tier dancers except Ty have been eliminated. So we'll probably start seeing some upsets this week.

Ty has been improving nicely. After the first week, I was thinking that we wouldn't get to see much of Chelsie. Glad I was wrong.

Just a warning. I'm sure most of you have heard what ABC did with most of it's owned and operated stations over the last week. They turned their .2 subchannels into a 720p HD subchannel called Live Well HD, which means they took bandwidth away from the main channel, which also means that the PQ has gone downhill, which you will notice when watching tonight.

WABC-DT FiOS NYC

The show looks 16:9 standard definition due to the lack of bandwidth.
The video noise much more noticeable.

The image was soft but I figured it was the lighting/smoke... blah blah blah...

Melissa was even hot dancing in the jeans and sports bra.

If Lil' Kim has enough fan support, she'll win.

Mac..HD screen cap if you please !

Jeez, you have to be kidding. Unbelievable. Is there someone high enough up that we can send an email to to protest? What is with these networks that do this?

I want to see the hair styling session required to get Melissa into those pants. What a damn body that girl has. Simply beautiful. Time for Ty to gtfo though, and hopefully Melissa wont leave based on an injury.

I cant' believe no one brought up the ending to the show last night. Chelsie and Lil' Kim getting stuck to one another at the head.

Then Derrick falling to the ground at the very end. Something is mentally wrong with that dude.

She is turning into a really beautiful dancer. But, consider a woman's POV: My girlfriends and I are loving Gilles. He is the only guy left who is good. The votes for the women are likely going to be split between Lil' Kim and Melissa, and some of the young girls will vote for Shawn (sp?). So, Gilles may be in a better statistical position.

KABC-DT Los Angeles Channel 7.1

My GF and me watched it last night and right away she said "What are you doing - turn it to the High Def channel!!" and i said "it IS on the High Def channel". It now looks horrible - it's softer and less defined, and there is a lot of motion artifacts on the dancers. Eyewitness news and GMA now look like crap too. I really hope they fix this before the Indianapolis 500 comes on in May !

Would they even consider fixing it given that it's all in the name of a subchannel?

Just watched the show. You forgot to say almost jeans and almost sports bra!

The show was excellent last night but the whole judging Mellissa based on a half-speed rehersal was pretty silly. I did, however, get the feeling that Len and Bruno deliberately downgraded Ty's scores to try to even the playing field for Melissa. Len's comments were unduly harsh. Melissa got 21 and Ty got 24 and they're probably hoping that the fans will put her over because she is obviously the superior dancer. A quarter-final of Gilles, Chuck, Shawn, Kim and Melissa would be very competative as well as very compelling TV.

Well if you're in Nashville like your location say, this doesn't affect you specifically. Only in the markets where Disney owns the ABC station outright.

Fair enough. I just can't stand sub-channels on principle alone.

Well that is an interesting take. I have always thought that Gilles was the locksee my post from back in early February.

And all along (even though I never said it as others here have ) I thought second and third would come down to Melissa and Shawn. However, now it looks like Kim is sneaking in--- but I'll stick with Gilles, Mellisa and Shawn as my top three.

You can't count out the fan base for Mellisa. I never heard of her before DWTS but she can dance and she has a ton of supporters. This injury thing probably got all of them dialing last night casting mega votes for her. She will definitely be in the top three.

LOL, that was funny as hell.

I may be cutting off my nose to spite my face but I just quit watching ABC after they pulled this stunt of adding "Live Well HD" aka the bit stealing channel. So no Dancing With the Stars for me. I've quit ABC cold turkey.

I don't think they will do anything about it or else they would have never added "Live Well HD" in the first place. They had to know the result after doing this but choose to ignore it, like they hope the majority of viewers in the O&O markets will do as well.

Having had a broken rib, I'm having trouble seeing how one day off can help. It took several weeks for mine to heal up.

If Melissa felt she wasn't able to dance last night then it's not going to be any better when pratice starts up again tomorrow.

The strange thing about a broken rib is you'll feel fine most of the time, but then you'll do some seemingly safe move, like just turning around and it'll feel like you got shanked in the prison shower. It'll definately take your breath away.

That looked like a interesting routine, too. I'm disappointed that I didn't get to see the real thing.

I saw Tuesday morning that Chuck and Julianne had booked a High School Benefit Concert in Tennesse next week. I was scratching my head as to how they could do that. After this evening, one could begin to wonder how legit this show truly is in the results.
