Samantha Harris, Wake up!
Posted by janisstrope on November 12, 2008
“Dancing with the Stars” is a great show for many reasons. Fun format, great costumes, wonderful dancing, and excellent hosts. Ms. Harris does a very good job of co-hosting with Tom Bergeron… but…
She can’t seem to keep from making insulting comments to the women pros. Worse yet, I don’t think she realizes she is doing it! Last week it was about Edyta, the professional partner paired with young Cody Linley. Harris’ junior high school gushing to ask how he feels about dancing with a half naked woman embarassed Cody and insulted Edyta. Last night it was using the card in her hand to denote the area of both Julianne’s and Edyta’s bodies, to mumble something about all men wishing they were in Cody’s place. For goodness sake, Samantha, it sounds so smutty!
Edyta isn’t a Maxim model (something on Harris’s resume…). She is a professional dancer, and the costumes she wears are to accentuate the movements. it is a part of the ballroom world, and they are not designed to titillate little boys.
Cody looked flustered to have to answer such a wink-wink question, asked by an adult, who isn’t shy about her own cleavage.
Edyta just stands there, gamely smiling, and probably wishing she could bring one of those high heels down on Harris’s foot!
Join us in contacting ABC to demand that they remind Harris that the women she is interacting with are professional dancers, not pole dancers, and off-color comments about their bodies should be jettisoned from the show!
