Members Sylph Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I just bumped onto this news! The show, known as Ballando con le stelle, is shown on RAI, the state-owned public service. Daniel McVicar was previously a partecipant in Notti sul ghiaccio (literally, Nights on Ice; a version of Skating With Celebrities), in 2007, on the same network. In the article I linked to Ron says: Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Daniel McVicar? I didn't know that. I wonder how he did. Wasn't Sean Kanan on one of these a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Not sure, but I know Katherine Kelly Lang did this Italian version a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted January 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 Daniel was 7th (there were 12 contestants). He met Virginia De Agostini there, who is his partner now, I believe. Yes, Kanan was there in 2006 (third season; his partner/teacher was Tinna Hoffman)! I forgot about that, thanks for reminding me! I think at the time it was reported he live in Italiy — I don't know whether it meant it's his main home or just a temporary one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted January 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm not sure she participated fully, I think she was only a "guest star": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 That's nice that McVicar found love through DWTS. That happens a lot. I guess I forget sometimes how popular B&B still is overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted January 8, 2010 Members Share Posted January 8, 2010 I believe Kanan got/maybe still has an Italian girlfriend. That showed up in one of those Branco interviews or a magazine interview around that time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted January 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 It's huge in Italy. Huge. Which is why RAI is bringing all these B&B stars as participants: B&B airs on Mediaset, a competing network (at 1:30 PM). The first dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 Has this show been pre-taped? How can/did Ronn manage to do 2 shows in different countries? Did he have time off from B&B? Or was DWTS Italy taped in a block of say,a few weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 First of all... WTF was that opening ET sequence with Ronn and his partner pedalling to the moon?! Typical first dance of a male contestant. A bit of walking here and there, a few awkward dance steps. RM is tall and lanky so his body type is not really suited to dance. However, he seems gracious towards his partner and a pretty good sport. I wish we could see this Ronn in Ridge on B&B -- a character that has absolutely no sense of humor. BTW, it is spooky how Ronn Moss never ages. Somewhere in his attic, there is a portrait of him rapidly looking like a 100-year old satyr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted January 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 I would like to know how his schedule looks too. Because for all I know — this show always airs live on Saturday nights, begins somewhere around 9:15 PM. Yeah, I wish he was different on B&B too. I wonder if this will have any effect on his (in)famous stiffness. It is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 Just when I thought he couldn't get any gayer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 I don't think it's hard. I know Len and Bruno do the US DwtS on Monday and Tuesday and the British version on Saturdays and maybe Sunday too. They just fly back and forth. B&B shoots, what? Monday-Thursday? That gives him enough time to travel back and forth and his partner could practice with him in LA. Also, since it's only half hour he could pre-tape his episodes like Ashley Jones did when filming True Blood. You guys are also forgetting he hasn't been in z frontburner story for a long while so it's not like he's working all four days. They could easily get his stuff out of the way in one, two days tops, per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted January 11, 2010 Members Share Posted January 11, 2010 True, and thank heavens for small mercies. I have not been missing RantingRidge or SexyTimeRidge in the least. And one hopes IncestoRidge has been put in storage permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
