radishcake August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 HAYES GRIER At just 15 years old, Hayes Grier is a rising star in the social media world, with more 3.5 million followers on Vine and more than 2 million Twitter follows. The North Carolina teen shot to fame with his personal videos and is currently on a live tour across the United States. PRO DANCE PARTNER: EMMA SLATER Link to comment
smiley13 August 27, 2015 Share August 27, 2015 Nothing against this young man, but this is what TPTB are considering a star these days? I thought Bethany Mota was bad enough, but I don't even care to know what a vine is unless it is got fruits or vegetables on it. 6 Link to comment

I thought Bethany Mota was bad enough, but I don't even care to know what a vine is unless it is got fruits or vegetables on it. A Vine, in this case, is an 8-second, I think, video clip posted to the Internet through the Vine site (similar to the really short videos--but I think with slightly longer time limits--posted to Instagram & Twitter, & maybe also Facebook).

Buggin August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 I sincerely hope he's gone first. I hate that he's with Emma because I don't want HER to go early. :( I'm actually going to be really pissed if Allison gets another ringer-y type over Emma. 2 Link to comment
Snickerdoodle August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 I sincerely hope he's gone first. May his DWTS career last as long as a Vine. 7 Link to comment

BW Manilowe August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 Ummmm, Who? He's apparently another "Social Media Star", like Bethany Mota from a previous season. Only he's a "star" through Vine (the app/site where people post 8-second video clips of whatever), not YouTube like Bethany. Link to comment
dolewhip August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 (edited) I seriously can't believe Disney/ABC would be affiliating themselves with this guy and his brother Nash. These guys do have their own 'success' story, I suppose (they landed in the right place at the right time on a new 'media channel' whose use has skyrocketed among tween girls who probably shouldn't have smartphones), but their true personalities seem pretty rotten. Girls think they're cute and pay massive amounts of money to meet them (see: the MagCon tour), but turn a blind eye to their vile actions and words (Nash Grier has a particularly bad history). I hate myself for knowing as much as I do about these guys, but I also seriously hope Hayes is voted off first. Edited August 30, 2015 by dolewhip 1 Link to comment
Serendi October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Just saw an article that says Hayes' older brother Will has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Ouch! http://www.aol.com/article/2015/10/12/vine-superstars-brother-embroiled-in-drug-scandal/21248165/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec3_lnk3%26pLid%3D824021356 Link to comment
smiley13 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I had no clue that this kid is the Florida QB's brother. I would have never put that together. One brother was on the show, but they never mentioned the real star of the family?? Link to comment
GreekGeek October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 Hayes is cute enough, but I'm getting tired of his "Who's that?" "What's that?" in reference to anything or anybody earlier than 2014. It really irked me that he didn't know Grease or Olivia Newton-John. At his age, I didn't sit around listening to music from my mom's generation for hours, but I'd heard of the major stars. 1 Link to comment
methodwriter85 October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 To be fair to him, I knew a 20-year old who didn't know what Grease was. Link to comment
Artymouse October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 My son is 15, and he didn't know anything about "Grease" until a couple months ago when it came up in conversation, and I had to tell him about it. Link to comment
boyznkatz October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 My kids don't know what a Grease is either, but if they were on this show doing that dance, I would have them watch it. Is he that clueless or is it the producers' idea of being cute? Whatever, his schtick is wearing thin and he needs to go. Link to comment
realdancemom October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 Hayes probably didn't know Grease when it was first brought up. However, that doesn't mean he didn't watch it or at least the dance afterwards. Link to comment
BW Manilowe October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 To be fair to him, I knew a 20-year old who didn't know what Grease was. Olivia's current husband--& he's probably her age, mid 60's--had never seen Grease before they married. Link to comment
