Dancing with the Stars Bio
Dancing with the Stars is a reality show airing on ABC in the United States. The show is based on the British BBC TV series Strictly Come Dancing and is part of the international Dancing with the Stars franchise.
The concept of the show is to pair a celebrity with a professional dancer in an attempt to win a high score from a panel of three judges and then a high number of votes from the viewers, who can call in and vote online. The person who receives the lowest score is eliminated, but they are allowed to dance one last dance at the end of the show.
The current co-hosts are Tom Bergeron and Samantha Harris. In season 1, Bergeron's co-host was Lisa Canning. The panel of judges is Len Goodman (head judge), Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli. Harold Wheeler is the musical director. The announcements for the show's titles and introductions for dances and judges' scores were recorded in the United Kingdom by Alan Dedicoat.
Eventual winner Kelly Monaco and partner Alec Mazo on Season 1 of the American edition of Dancing With The Stars.The American ABC Network adaptation premiered on June 1, 2005, to over 13 million viewers, the biggest summer debut ever for an American reality series. The second week climbed to 15 million viewers, and the show climbed to #1 in the ratings, where it remained for the remainder of the summer 2005 TV season. The contestants were:
Evander Holyfield (heavyweight boxer) - partner Edyta Sliwinska (eliminated second)
Rachel Hunter (model) - partner Jonathan Roberts (eliminated third)
Joey McIntyre (singer and actor) - partner Ashly DelGrosso (eliminated fourth)
Kelly Monaco (actress) – partner Alec Mazo (winners)
John O'Hurley (actor and TV host) - partner Charlotte Jørgensen (runners-up)
Trista Rehn Sutter (The Bachelor contestant and the Bachelorette in series one) - partner Louis van Amstel (eliminated first)
Some viewers felt the outcome of the show was unfair, as half the winning points came from the judges' votes, instead of solely from the votes of viewers, and Monaco and Mazo had received a "perfect 10" from each of the judges that night (this view reflected a misunderstanding of the scoring system; in fact, because the scoring was based on ordinals and the audience vote was the tiebreaker, Monaco and Mazo must have received more audience votes). In response to the criticism, ABC announced a 90-minute special, Dancing with the Stars: Dance-off, a rematch between Monaco and O'Hurley (with their respective partners), to air September 20, 2005, at the beginning of the fall 2005 television season. The winner, determined solely by fan votes, was announced in a September 22 results show. This time, O'Hurley and his dance partner Charlotte emerged as the winners.
Evander Holyfield and Rachel Hunter appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, the British version of Dancing with the Stars, in a special Christmas 2005 competition. Both were eliminated during the first two rounds.
The success of Dancing with the Stars quickly inspired a similar show from the Fox Broadcasting Company entitled Skating with Celebrities (based on another British show, Strictly Ice Dancing, from the BBC). (Another dance show, So You Think You Can Dance, an RTL Group contest featuring unknown aspiring dancers, was already set to air before Dancing with the Stars premiered.)
