"Dancing" with Yamaguchi?

Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi might be the next star to Fox Trot onto the "Dancing with the Stars" stage. Kristi revealed to Chris Yandek of CYInterview.com that she is a huge fan and would love to do the show. There's just a small problem ...
Kristi Yamaguchi
What could possibly stand in her way?

Kristi says that her fear of being judged and live audiences "make her really nervous." Huh?! You'd think that someone who made a career performing live and being judged would have an edge up, but apparently for Kristi -- that's not the case.

While the ice princess claims butterflies -- her nerves sure paid off on the ice!

16. Marie dresses modestly (for a dance show) because she is Mormon and women are supposed to cover up. Notice her costumes have see-through fabric on the arms and chest, usually with sequins or somesuch. She is buxom so that appears vividly!

17. I like Kristi,but it would just be another celebrity that has dance experience that would probably blow away all the other non-dancing stars. The celebrities that have danced before have an unfair advantage. Even if they danced in a different style they have experience learning choreography. For the competition to be completely fair, I would prefer to have a cast of people that have dance experence, or a cast that has no previous dance experience.

18. I think the show should be called "Dancing with the Sluts" because the women dress like sluts. Why don't the men dance in SPEEDOS???

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH JAYE AND LONG FOR FRED AND GINGER WHO HAD ALL THE CLASS THAT THE CURRENT BUNCH OF "DANCERS" TOTALLY LACK. THE RANCHY ACROBATICS BY HALF NAKED WOMEN REALLY TURNS ME OFF AND I AM GLAD THAT OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY. UGH!!

20. I think the show should be called "Dancing with the Tards." I don't want to see her dance. I'm sure guys want to see someone beautiful with a great body...not her. This season sucks.........women are fugley and men are gay and ugly. Still, I continue to watch for some reasan. Guess I love seeing Marie trying to fit her fat ass in those dresses. They are way too small for her....but it's funny!

21. This broad has made a lifetime career out of doing choreographed "dance" routines on the ice. How could they even consider her as a contestant? And for those who say Apolo Ono was a skater - yes but he was a speed skater - skating in a straight line. Not the same thing.

23. #14 you know nothing! Marie has lost 30 lbs. since being on Dancing With The Stars and is not a slut. She's beautiful. What's wrong with you? Grow up!

25. "This broad has made a lifetime career out of doing choreographed "dance" routines on the ice. "

Exactly!!!!! She's a professional as far as I'm concerned. This has been her career all her life. Keep her OFF the show.

28. I'm not sure it's fair to put people with that level of athleticism on that show. They are sure to win because they are used to the level of training and discipline required.

29. Dancing With the Stars is fantastically entertaining. I was prepared to be bored, but what a pleasant surprise. Quality, family entertainment with challenge, pathos, and humor. If these past and present celebs didn't appear, no one would watch. (an average joe.)
Marie has shown grit, has a 1,000 megawatt smile, is the queen of camera savvy, and seems a genuinely nice person, as is the rest of her family. Jenny Garth and all of the others were fantastic and full of graciousness. At least you can let the kids watch it if it's early enough where you live. There's that measure of popularity vote, so the best technical dancers just may not win, and I'm not sure how I feel about that, except that the prize is only a glitter ball and maybe the real prize is having been able to participate period.

30. kristi, lease do not lower your standers and be on such a SLUTTY SHOW.. The show should be rated tv14 for it's contents. It's way too provcative too be on network tv... What's wrong with that stattion? CLEAN UP YOUR SHOW.... I know some state in the mid west who are thinking of getting their state reps to BAN it's airing. If the dancers want sex, let them get a room.
