Stephen Nedoroscik on DWTS

[RedBirdie]

How they've defined "Star" has always been somewhat loose. Jus picking some seasons at random:

Season 1
Trista Sutter (Reality TV star)
Evander Holyfield (Heavyweight boxer)
Rachel Hunter (Model)
Joey McIntyre (Singer)
John O'Hurley (Actor)
Kelly Monaco (Actress)

Season 9
Ashley Hamilton (Actor)
Macy Gray (Singer)
Kathy Ireland (Model)
Tom DeLay (Politican)
Debi Mazar (Actress)
Chuck Liddell (MMA Fighter)
Natalie Coughlin (Olympic swimmer)
Melissa Joan Hart (Actress)
Louie Vito (Snowboarder)
Michael Irvin (NFL player)
Mark Dacascos (Iron Chef Chairman)
Aaron Carter (Singer)
Joanna Krupa (Model)
Kelly Osbourne (Reality TV star)
Mya (Snger)
Donny Osmond (singer)

Season 18
Diana Nyad (Swimmer)
Sean Avery (NHL player)
Billy Dee Williams (Actor)
Cody Simpson (Singer)
Drew Carey (Actor and Price Is Right host)
NeNe Leakes (Reality TV star)
Danica McKellar (Actress)
Charlie White (Olympic ice dancer)
James Maslow (Singer)
Candace Cameron Bure (Actress)
Meryl Davis (Olympic ice dancer)

Season 29
Charles Oakley (NBA player)
Carole Baskin (Reality TV star)
Anne Heche (Actress)
Jesse Metcalfe (Actor)
Vernon Davis (NFL player)
Monica Aldama (Reality TV star)
Jeannie Mai (TV host)
Chrishell Stause (Reality TV star)
AJ McLean (Singer)
Johnny Weir (Olympic figure skater)
Skai Jackson (Actress)
Justina Machado (Actress)
Nelly (Rapper)
New Schulman (TV host)
Kaitlyn Bristowe (Reality TV star)

A lot of washed up and never-have-been actors, actresses, and singers. More and more reality stars. Athletes who are either past their playing days or capitalizing on Olympic success. A handful of models. The occasional politician.

As a Brit I understandably recognise even fewer of those. Though as a child of the 90s I’m excited to look up how Melissa Joan Hart got on.

I feel like Anna Delvey should not be considered a “star”. Just saying.

Most of the "stars" on DWTS are not actual "stars"

Maybe not, but they also aren’t convicted criminals. It just feels wrong for her to be gaining money and fame because of her scamming people

You are absolutely right. I honestly just can not stand this show. They have had a long list of major zeros and "stars" no one ever heard of but having a convicted felon on the show as a "star' is admittedly a new low even for DWTS.

 

[rlayt]

Well if a convicted felon can…

 

[JaJa]

Well if a convicted felon can…

And then there is that…..

 

[Big_rock_show]

Maybe they could do a felony version or a jailhouse version of DWTS once the “Star” pool has run dry…which it arguably already has.

PERFECT.

I didn’t realize his eyesight was this bad. He says doesn’t have a driver’s license and doesn’t drive because his eyes are so sensitive to the sun that he can’t see anything in the sun, and he also has no depth perception.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Oh, God, what a fakeout. They decided to eliminate no one this week. I'm really happy to get a freestyle from Stephen.

Week 8: Semi-Finals

There's no goofy challenge this week, everyone just did two dances.

First Dance: Cha Cha
Score: 8, 8, 9 - 25
Judges remarks: They didn't like it. They complained about his hip placements, said his feet were wrong, and that his musicality got worse.

Cha Cha to “Bailar” by Deorro featuring Elvis Crespo

Second Dance: Tango
This is the first dance he did keeping his glasses on. They got knocked askew right off the bat and eventually fell off his face entirely in the middle of the dance.
Score: 10, 9, 9 - 28
Judges remarks: This one they really liked. There was a lot of talk about him continuing the dance and not missing a beat after his glasses went sideways. Stephen said this is why he usually dances without them. They said he was impressive and performed a successful Tango.

Tango to “Sweet Disposition” by The Temper Trap

Final Results
1. Chandler Kinney - 58
1. Joey Graziadei - 58
3. Ilona Maher - 57
4. Danny Amendola - 54
5. Stephen Nedoroscik - 53

They did a whole dramatic thing at the end where they had all five couples standing on the floor while they announced who was going on to the finale and who was going to be eliminated. They announced Chandler/Joey/Danny as safe and said it was down to Ilona and Stephen. Dragging it out, Rylee looked like she was already crying, everyone's stressed.. and then they say no one is eliminated and all five couples go to the finale.

It was ridiculous. Apparently they pulled this last season too.

All scores and votes from tonight will carry over to the 3 hour finale next Tuesday.

I'm a little bit stoned but I'm also totally cracking up about the fact that this is how Stephen Nedoroscik is spending his time right now

 

[Nickp]

Stephen losing his glasses has been the most relatable thing that's ever happened on this show
