Yeah, it looks to me like the lovers of all things redneck have some type of direct access to the Dancing With The Stars voting machine because Bill Engvall managed to make it to the finals of the show against Jack Osbourne, Corbin Bleu and Amber Riley. Every episode is not when Bill is going home but who is going home instead of Bill. Last night it was Leah Remini's turn to go home. It is always going to be a shocker because Bill is always going to get the lowest scores. You know what ABC executives should be taking from all of this? They need to give Bill his own show and need to have it ready in a second so he can take some of this momentum. Every network should be wondering how they can tap into this loyal fan base and give him something. I'm not sure how you could go wrong.
In the final two it will probably be Bill and Corbin but at some point Bill has to lose right? You know that after opening their new house of worship that regular people paid for with course fees that Scientology officials must think the power of L Ron Hubbard is what eliminated Leah Remini from the show and the weekly biography that always mentioned her departure from Scientology. .
You know what would be cool?
ReplyDeleteTalking about American Horror Story.
This reality obsession is old.
Hey, some of us enjoy this show. It's not PURE trash.
ReplyDeleteI think Amber, Corbin final two.
I love Bill Engvall - he seems like he's just a genuinely nice guy. No wonder he has so many fans. I don't really know the redneck stuff, but I have seen his solo standup & I really liked his TBS sitcom with Jennifer Lawrence & Nancy Travis. Yep. JLaw & Nancy Travis!
ReplyDeleteEven my local newscasters are talking about this Bill guy, so I guess he sucks balls but is staying on.
ReplyDeleteApologies Reno, this actually does seem newsworthy. It's just the 'Real Housewives' blah 'Teen mom' blah..becomes tedious (or is that tenuous?)
ReplyDeleteI know I can scroll past, I just am disappointed that this is turning into an almost revealed E! type piece of crap reality show.
With Aj Benza.
I"m still shocked he's in there but the Southern block votes him in.
ReplyDeleteI'm still shocked Elizabeth Berkley was cut. I had her, Corbin and Amber making it to the final week.
TV Junkie, I came to say exactly the same thing. He's just so likeable and seems NORMAL. I bet he's more surprised than anyone to still be competing on DWTS.
ReplyDeleteAlso, DWTS is my grandparents' favorite show (maybe even more so than Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy). They don't vote for things like this, but he's exactly the type person they and my parents would be pulling for. Shoot, I'm pulling for him and I'm 30--not in his normal fans' age range.
Leah's bad attitude didn't help her any. Pull the stick out of your ass and crack a smile for once.
ReplyDelete@Bacon. Thanks. Now I can get behind the no housewives and teen mom crap. Agree there!
ReplyDeleteAJ Benza sucks
ReplyDeleteBill is this seasons Jerry Springer. I got Amber and Jack in the final. Amber FTW.
ReplyDeleteAlso something that helps him out a lot is the Blue Collar Comedy channel on SiriusXM.
ReplyDeleteLast week I heard a commercial on there with him and the station asking listeners to call in and vote for him while he is on the show.
Im certain the other contestants do not have this added advantage.
@hothotheat, I'm with you, Amber for the win!
ReplyDeleteI've been a fan of Bill Engvall since I first saw him do stand up on TV and I think that goes all the way back to VH1 Spotlight or whatever it was called. He just seems like a genuine guy, he burst into tears after one of his dances because he's so emotional and happy about being on the show. His wife is also pretty damn close to his age, so that makes him a bit unique. ;)
ReplyDeleteLeah didn't dance in the post-boot talk show appearances--she said she had a cracked rib--but she did give it back to Scientology on The View a little. Yes Barbara went there and asked.
