Members Khan Posted April 29, 2018 Members Share Posted April 29, 2018 Oh, how I wish there WERE a same-sex team on the US version. If only to see the heads of all those perky, (faux) blonde soccer moms from the Midwest who still watch the show explode. (Figuratively, of course.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members applcin Posted April 29, 2018 Members Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) This particular team, the celeb was a middle-aged guy who wasn't very good. If the couple was that caliber over here, anybody who wasn't aghast would probably see it as a joke. If DWTS ever wants to push that envelope, one hopes they would pick someone who turned out to be a good dancer. A slight aside....I subscribe to a couple of Italian cable channels and some of their game shows are a lot more risque than normally you see here on mainstream channels. Very scantily-clad buxom models and references to them, guys in the audience wolf calling, women charging the stage to kiss the supposed male hottie, contestants' weights, looks and quirks being made fun of, skits where people are made up to look and act like ethnic stereotypes (Japanese, Russian, Sicilian, etc.). Some of their game shows are like game/variety shows combined. One show is a competition where celebrities have to imitate famous singers each week, including being made up to look like them, which includes white people being made up to look black. They also seem to have a greater fascination with their versions of the reality shows like Big Brother, Survivor, etc., not only airing them often and longer (sometimes episodes are 2-3 hours) but talking about them on other programs often. At least, those are my impressions based on what these 2 channels choose to air for their US viewers. I'm a first generation Italian-American so, while I understand the language (some of it), seeing their pop culture and just how they behave and think overall is an interesting contrast. They do seem to really enjoy American pop culture, past and present, as well. Edited April 29, 2018 by applcin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 29, 2018 Members Share Posted April 29, 2018 With Mr. Five Minutes of Fame Adam Rippon competing this time you'd think they would pair him with a guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted April 29, 2018 Members Share Posted April 29, 2018 Oh, you just *know* Adam and Bruno will be doing lots of staged flirting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 29, 2018 Members Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) I still don't get the big deal where Adam is concerned. He didn't win a medal and has never completed a quad. He isn't even that attractive....IMO Edited April 29, 2018 by Soapsuds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted April 30, 2018 Members Share Posted April 30, 2018 The big deal is that he is the first gay American male in his sport to compete out of the closet. Not come out later, but at the height of his career so far. Gus is more my type, but I have nothing but pride for Adam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Lloyd Bremseth (Andy Andersson, The Doctors, 1975) made headlines this week for foiling an attempted robbery. After leaving show biz some years ago, he became owner of an exotic bird store in Van Nuys, CA. Here he is being interviewed: https://www.google.com/amp/losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/05/07/bird-theft-owner-store/amp/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted May 9, 2018 Members Share Posted May 9, 2018 Brittany Allen (Marissa #1, AMC) - so reviled on AMC - has forged quite a respectable career in genre films over the last few years, mostly with writer-director Colin Minihan but also in the last Saw sequel. She stars again in Minihan's latest film, LGBT horror flick What Keeps You Alive. She's almost unrecognizable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
