I love this show! I am taping it b/c my 2 yr old little girl LOVES to watch it with me. So we'll watch it tomorrow together - she dances along. It's too cute :)

I watched the intro just to see who was on this season - looks like it should be good!

I love this show!

Watched last season, and got completely hooked.

I was looking forward to Billy Ray Cyrus--poor guy, he was so stiff last night. Won't be surprised if he's the first to go.

We have a UK version here called 'Strictly come dancing' and I absolutely loved it!!!!!!!

Some of the best contestants (stars) have been big burley sportsmen, and I'm alway's amazed when it turns out they have a real talent to dance gracefully!! :D

Heather Mills is constantly being slated in the press here and is not very popular at all :o

I love it! I have watched it for all four seasons. It's hard to tell who is going to be good this early, the dancers can really surprise you at times, and so can the voting. Hopefully they have finally gotten the voting figured out. The first season was a complete fake, John O'Hurley should have won, but because of the voting for that season if he got less viewer votes and the top judges votes he and the other girl would have tied. I think now they have it right, since they have gone to a second day for elimination.

Nikki: Despite Heather being on "Dancing" our press here over the past few years haven't been portraying her as "mentally well". I recall years before her leaving Sir Paul that the NY Post reporting that she has problems telling the truth (putting it mildly). Something about her story about being homeless was a fabrication. As to her performance dance, it can't imagine that she'll have any problems because with her money she can afford the best prothesis leg money can buy. The question is would the average John or Jane with a prothesis leg be able to get around as well as she can in their daily average lives? I understand she did well with the dance she chose.

I actually know a man who lost his leg about 10 years ago, and he does not get around that well. He has told me he can ice skate a bit, and now he is trying to roller blade so he can do it with his children. I can tell you he does have a hard time and I have seen his fall off when he was walking. He can step on my toes and not know it because he cannot feel anything underneath his feet, except that he is "slanted"

I'm still watching :)

I think Heather is doing a great job--I also like Apollo, Ian and Joey.

I had hoped Billy Ray would be doing better by now :( The judges last night gave him credit for trying, but you can tell dancing is not his strong suit :P

Thanks! :D

He's strictly an indoor cat--I was taking a few pictures of my flowers and Mark brought Allo out and set him in the garden. I was able to get two shots of him before he ran back in the house. :lol:

Back to DWTS.....

I don't agree with Shandi being ousted last night :angry: There were one or two others that didn't dance 1/2 as good. I guess she dosen't have enough call-in fans ;)

I am wathcing it this season, I love apollo and ian and billy ray. But to be honest i really dont want ian to win, cause of his dance partner, she does not deserve to win 3 times in a row. She already has a big head from the last 2 wins lol.

Am I the only one still watching :unsure:

I loved the group dance last night--it was so cute! Looking forward to the results show tonight.

I think Apolo and Julianne are the frontrunners right now--I like Ian, but the judges apparently don't share that opinion :P Still loving Joey.....

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
