A girl. His partner for the show danced to a win with Apolo Ohno last season.

The best part of the cast announcement on Good Morning America occured when they put up the wrong picture when introducing Helio. Instead of Helio's cheesetastic mug, they had up a pic of Dario. Way to go broadcast partner! :D

I'm guilty of following this for the first time. Blame Helio. :p I've tried to watch in the past but it never really interested me. But they have some really good stars (http://abc.go.com/primetime/dancingwiththestars/?pn=bio#t=star) this season and I may actually continue to watch (this season) even after Helio gets voted off tonight.

Anybody else watching?

Only on nights with no hockey games and even then I check out when Heroes comes on.

I'm kind of surprised by Helio's dancing skills. I was expecting a trainwreck, after I read an article that said his partner was looking for a can of WD-40 to loosen up his hips.

We've watched since the beginning of season two. Never miss a week. Dancing, the way they do it, takes more energy that most of you who laugh it spend in a month. Even the boxer (Floyd Mayweather?) had to admit it.

Near disaster tonight though. TravelGuy thought Edyta was going to be voted off. He likes her "costumes" (what there is of them. :D )

That's true. They said that Mark Cuban lost about 30 pounds since he started rehearsing for the show. That's pretty impressive.

Thanks for using that image. My dad used to do that, among other things, so I get your point. MY point is that too many people say it's just pansy girlie stuff. It's work and it's hard. That's all I meant. Not that it will entertain everyone.

Words I never thought I'd see together...Helio and manscaping.


Helio Castroneves confessed that last week he had his hair flat ironed by the DWTS hairstylist—and liked it. For this week’s samba Castroneves got a good manscaping since he was sporting a costume where his chest was exposed. “They took out the clippers and went ‘Nnnnnneeeeeeeee!’ It looks good, don’t you think?” Castroneves asked of his newly smooth look.

"It's not only about dancing, you know? It's about popularity," Castroneves said after the show. "That's what I'm actually very happy about."

There was a time, a long, long time ago, when I liked Helio and thought he could really pedal. There was even a time when he had a slight possibility of going to F1. But he blew it all by being a Penske shlump of a clown.

If its a popularity contest (and assuming both pro partners have equal popularity), then did Helio winning just prove that the Indy 500 winner has bigger popularity than a Spice Girl? I would've thought it was the other way around.
