Myself amoung other people feel that it was not right for Christi Yamagooci to win or even be asked to compete.It is not fair because she does have previous training in dancing,ice dancing,but dancing.I do have to commend both Jason and Christian for being such great sports.What do you think?

I have to admit I did not watch the show this season. I saw some of them dance when going through the channels, and then I have seen them when other shows were mentioning them. I hear them say Kristi really didn't have an advantage because dancing on ice is not like dancing on solid ground. I can't agree with that. I think she did have something over Jason or Cristain. She was better than the other two, but I think it was because of her training. I know in the past there were comments over Mario Lopez and Joey Fatone competing because of their prior dance training. Although their counter was it was never ballroom training. However, the stink wasn't quite as big as the stink over Kristi because Mario and Joey did not win. All that being said, I don't know what is fair. Jason is making more money than all of those contestants put together, but even better, he says he is getting a lot of calls about acting roles. So in the end he will come out on top way more than Kristi.

Oh, and I must say in fairness, Kristi Yamaguchi has been one of my favorite skaters, and Jason Taylor one of my favorite football players. I have no feelings over Cristian. So I may have some bias.

One thing that really made me start thinking about that was Kristi saying that with skating she did not have to learn to position her feet in a certain position.I know that you do have to learn that with skating. Yes,I know that Jason make a great deal of money as a football player,but this is not about money.I did not watch this season as intensley as I have with previous season's.I did see both Mario and Joey.I was unaware of Mario having dancing training and I did know that both him and Joey are entertainers.But,they were not trained with ballroom style dancing. As Iam typing this I have the tv on also and there was just a news report that Jason will no longer be with the Dolphins because he was dancing instead of being at football camp.He is not having a very good week,huh?

They have been saying Bill Parcells is going to cut him because he chose to do the ballroom thing. He has announced he isn't going to do any of the camps this summer, and I think that is a big message. I think he's saying trade me to a contender, my work is done here.
