Dancing With The Stars 2012 All-Stars: Gilles Marini most likely to win?

Which stars are most likely to make it to the final round of DWTS 2012 All-Star Season? Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina Smirnoff are in real trouble. Sabrina Bryan and Louis Van Amstel are great dancers but don’t have a big enough fan base. Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani are struggling since she herniated a disc in her neck, Kirstie Alley and Maksim should spend more time practicing her steps and less time fighting. Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough are doing well but is she sexy enough to beat charismatic Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd? Not likely. Here’s the recap of the second team dance night along with predictions. Keep reading…

Dancing With The Stars 2012: Donald and Peta jive with Karina Smirnoff hot

Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd advanced to the semi-finals of the 2012 season of Dancing With The Stars on May 8th. How did the celebrity couple get there? By dancing their darling little tushies off, that’s how. The dance pro might be training a star for the first time, but the football player from the Green Bay Packers is such a devoted athlete and natural talent that she has been able to teach him professional level dance moves in no time at all. The celebrity judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba loved the first dance but the second — a three person jive with Karina Smirnoff — won their hearts. Keep reading…

Hope Solo and Maks kicked off DWTS for bad attitudes?

All Hope is lost! Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were kicked off Dancing With The Stars on November 15th, 2011. While they made the semi-finals, they were not good enough to go all the way to compete for the DWTS Mirror Ball Trophy. Why did the Olympic athlete have such a hard time being a good sport? She started out with a bad attitude against Maks (her dance pro). Once they made up and started acting all lovey-dovey she turned that intimidating glare on the judges. Then, both she and Maks had some four letter words to share both with and for each judge who gave them low scores. What really happened there? Keep reading…

DWTS Karina Smirnoff fell, claims Ralph Macchio jinxed by Tom Bergeron?

[Apr. 26]

Karina Smirnoff and Karate Kid actor Ralph Macchio had an upset last night on Dancing with the Stars. Karina apparently tripped over Ralph’s coat during their Paso Doble routine to the tune of C & C Music Factory’s Everybody Dance Now (remember that one from the 80s?). They still earned a respectable score from the judges — 24 out of 30, but it still was low enough to put them in second to last place.

This of course is following Kirstie Alley’s wardrobe malfunction, when her shoe fell off, and another fall when Maksim Chmerkovskiy took partner Kirstie Alley down with him when his hip gave out. And we thought this was Spring, not Fall.

Karina Smirnoff helped sum it up for People:

While they earned a respectable 24 out of 30 points, tripping over Macchio’s coat “was disappointing, because it was such an awesome routine and Ralph was doing such an awesome job,” a dejected Smirnoff said backstage. “I think the floor is jinxed.”

And Kirstie Alley tells People:

“I think Tom Bergeron is the one making everyone fall,” Alley jokes, noting that the spot where so many have gone down is precisely where Dancing’s beloved host stands for most of the show. “If you look closely I think you will probably see the shenanigans he’s up to when we’re not on the dance floor. Always go for the nice guy. Always.”

Whatever the case, Karina Smirnoff and Ralph Macchio have been holding on tight, staying well up in the top contenders on Dancing with the Stars this season, so it will be interesting to see if this fall will put them out of the running, or if they’ll be able to hold on for another episode.

Karina Smirnoff is looking for your love and your votes. She went to Twitter: “Thank u all so much for ur kind words and support! It means a world to us! And thank u for believing in us! Love u.”
