As a follow up from yesterday’s post comes this outlining some of the fall out from “Dancing with the Stars”; including comment from Gerrard and his wife, Heather.
It includes some advice from Gerrard for the judges:
“I know I make a lot of mistakes as a dancer, and I’m happy for Todd and the judges to give me low scores – but offer me and those I’m trying to inspire some hope and guidance as well,” he said.
The article also reveals:
Gosens approached the three judges, Helen Richey, Mark Wilson and McKenney, after the show.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in that discussion.
To be fair, I must point out that the article also links to this article by a Tory Maquire which defends McKenney pointing out again that as we all have recognised, Gerrard can’t really dance. She goes on:
Since when have prime time reality television/light entertainment programs been about self-improvement and and passion?
There are such programs of course. Surely no-one would propose that a program such as MasterChef isn’t designed to improve interest in cooking (all those masterclasses and recipies on the website) or The Biggest Loser franchise with all sorts of fitness videos from the trainers and The Biggest Loser Club and food.
So he can’t dance in your opinion. Most can’t.
