Gymnasts are expected to be short. They're not expected to be a square box. There are plenty of reasonably proportional (but flat chested) gymnasts. They're not as rare as people are trying to say.
I think she's cute. And I bet she'll win this year. Not only does she have the physical and graceful experience but the people who watch this show are most likely the same type of people who watch gymnastics.
She's so short and so muscular, it's bound to make you look odd. But hey, I'd take looking a bit odd and winning gold medals and being all-out badass over nothing.
The majority of people learning to dance ballroom/latin are children and young people. At my classes there's about three pairs of older adults (and in my 20s I class as 'older').
my parents LOVE IT and i used to watch it when i was drinking/taking pills a lot... it's so unbelievably cheesy it edges over into surreal a lot of the time
The general principal of ballroom dancing is wear whatever you have to to get noticed. Each style of dancing (smooth, standard, latin, and rhythm) has a different set of rules for what you can wear. On a floor full of girls wearing garish outfits, you want yours to stand out the most, hence all the fringe and shit.
However, that's in an actual ballroom competition. I have no fucking clue why the only pick the ugly ones (because there ARE really pretty, though still pretty tacky ones) for the show as they don't have to stand out when they're the only ones on the floor.
On a related note, though, I think it's unfair when they get people who have an athletic and/or dance background to compete against people who don't, you know? People like Lance Bass and Shawn Johnson...up against Cloris Leachman and Steven fucking Guttenburg. Doesn't seem fair, lol. One of the many reasons I don't watch this show.
Just because someone's an athlete, though, doesn't mean that they'll be a great dancer. Clyde Drexler kinda sucked, after all. :P I know Jason Taylor got to the finals, but personally I think he was as stiff as cardboard. The only reason he got so far was because he was hot.
Shawn may be a gymnast, but have you seen her routines? She doesn't seem very graceful at all. Now, if Nastia Lukin were competing, then I'd say that the other competitors should just throw in the towel. :P
I said the same thing to someone but they're like ~well this is ballroom dancing not stuff like hip hop that lance bass does...right Lance Bass did hip hop :|
This is the first time I heard about her being on this show
she looks so different.. kinda bloated
