mtlchick March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Tony won't win a trophy with her but if he makes it halfway with her, I'll consider it a huge step forward. I don't know how she'll handle Latin, but based on her quickstep, she should well on standards. Link to comment
vibeology March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 I was so impressed. She's got enough skills to grow and it seems from the package that she's a very cheerful and positive person. I bet Tony is thrilled to have a partner with some skills and a positive attitude. What a change. 3 Link to comment
Celia Rubenstein March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Marla was a better dancer than I expected. She's going to be around for a while. And she handled Erin Andrews' typically crappy interview very well. I think she would be better at Erin's job than Erin is ... much better, actually. Marla is much more poised and gracious and she has a great voice. Erin might want to stop sucking up to her so ruthlessly (oh your hair, oh your voice) before the producers realize Marla would be a better fit for the show than she is. 2 Link to comment
smiley13 March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 I was impressed with Marla. She seems to be a good fit with Tony and he seems thrilled to be paired with her. 2 Link to comment
Artymouse March 25, 2016 Share March 25, 2016 I did not expect to like Marla -- she's a year older than me, and I can't imagine marrying Donald Trump unless my life actually depended on it, and even then I'd have to give it some thought -- but I thought she was pleasant and a decent dancer. And I loved her dress. I like Tony a lot, so I am glad to see he's got someone who has a chance of lasting more than two weeks. I doubt she'll make it to the finals, but I think she will be around for a while. 1 Link to comment
JenMcSnark March 27, 2016 Share March 27, 2016 I was surprisingly pleased with Ms. Maples when I watched last night. I did love her voice. And seeing Tony so happy and outspoken about it made my heart sing. He deserves a good partner for once. 3 Link to comment
Wings March 27, 2016 Share March 27, 2016 I was impressed with her. I can see her going far. Who knows if the name Trump will enter into her votes but if left to skill, she will be around for awhile. 1 Link to comment
kitcloudkicker March 27, 2016 Share March 27, 2016 I dunno, I think she's a decently capable dancer, but I think people might find her forgettable. Especially this season, where there's only a few that are horrible, being part of the forgettable middle of the pack is going to be the kiss of death. I still have a feeling she'll be a relatively early out. Maybe even before a worse dancer who "should have" gone home. Link to comment
Mbeaker March 28, 2016 Share March 28, 2016 Before the season, I had her pegged as a week 2 elimination. While she exceeded my expectations with her Quickstep, I see her lasting no longer than week 4. Leaving right after Geraldo, Doug, Mischa. Link to comment
ari333 March 28, 2016 Share March 28, 2016 At least it seems that she's stopped doing that thing where she opens her mouth a little and sticks her tongue behind her front teeth. Super annoying. [/nitpick] Link to comment
vavera4ka March 28, 2016 Share March 28, 2016 Mixed feelings about her... I'm "allergic" to anything Trump, but I adore Tony and glad he finally got a capable dancer out of "let's stick Tony with an older woman just because" clause that seems to be written in DWTS by-laws... 1 Link to comment
Uke March 28, 2016 Share March 28, 2016 At least it seems that she's stopped doing that thing where she opens her mouth a little and sticks her tongue behind her front teeth. Super annoying. [/nitpick] I wonder if that's a carry-over from her pageant-hosting days. It used to be an old pageant trick to teach the contestants to press their tongue against their front teeth so they can hold a smile a long time without quivering. I don't know if they still do that though. Link to comment
Vinyasa March 28, 2016 Share March 28, 2016 And seeing Tony so happy and outspoken about it made my heart sing. He deserves a good partner for once. I thought Marla did really well. She seems to be having a good time and Tony seems happy. After having Kate Gosselin and Wynonna Judd he paid his dues. 1 Link to comment
still hoping March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 I was surprised to find I am liking her. I think she looks really good, and is more than holding her own. I like Tony too and hope they stick around Not really a "star" but look at the others on this show LOL. Marla is better than most and not as annoying as many of them (Ginger LOL) 2 Link to comment
