OK - my 15 year old daughter had to watch the show to see if Ono would win. So that is the ONLY reason I was watching!
On the show - Triathlete Mark Fretta comes on to talk about his friend Apolo! Mark gets his 15 seconds of fame on National TV! He also had a great run time in Honolulu last weekend!
I think it’s pretty impressive that they are able to turn athletes/D-list stars/celebrities into ballroom dancers. There is no way that is easy, but it looks like a ton of fun.
She screamed, cried and smiled for 15 min. after he won - Now she wants to know if I can call Mark to see if he can talk to his buddy about sending her a signed picture. (dancing not skating)!
Unfortunately, we have a firefighter at our station that loves to watch that show and every other reality show. The worst part is that he usually has the remote.
Somebody told me that he is also ranked #2 in the world at what he does (not sure if it was latin or ballroom). Some of the others are similarly high caliber. Good for the show that they are getting the best of the best to showcase the dances.
