First of all, it is really hard to say if the relationships would have happened without Dancing with the Stars as the contestants come from different areas of celebrity. Some of these people would not have had their paths crossed had they not been on the show at the same time.

Dancing with the Stars has produced three confirmed off stage romances; and (season 5), Smirnoff (season 3), and and Derek Hough (season 6). Each of these couples began on the dance floor and at least one of them, has grown. The couple moved in together and is reportedly doing well.

Dancing with the Stars is a natural breeding ground for a romance to begin. After all, couples are paired together and work week after week to become the best they can be. It is only natural that if there is any attraction that the partners could not only fall into each others arms dancing but also in a romantic manor.

What makes for a good relationship and for a winning team on Dancing with the Stars are one and the same thing. Being able to rely on the other person 100% is vital in both. Working in such close contact with a single person, for the same end result, is one surefire way to ensure a friendship. What made these three couples turn that friendship into more?

One thing that seems to be indifference between the couples is age. It does not seem to matter that is what age. The couples have found each other through hard work and trying to win the competition.

Does it really seem like an unlikely place to kindle the romantic fires? Yes, it is true that Dancing with the Stars is like a work place situation. It is also true that each celebrity and each have a specific roll in the competition. The celebrity is there to learn to be the best dancer they can be while the professional dancers are there to teach the celebrities how to accomplish the specific dances as flawlessly as they possibly can. So why not think that it would be possible to take the utter trust required between dance teacher and pupil to the next level of boyfriend and girlfriend.

In conclusion, Dancing with the Stars is a natural breeding ground for romance. The level of trust needed in a partner on the show is equivalent to that of a relationship. Through the constant working on the contestants to become the best in any given season of Dancing with the Stars, it is only natural that romance could grow as well.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

There is much speculation as to why the show started off so popular and has not lost any of its following. There is no way to determine for certain why people like the show and continue to watch it season after season.

Dancing with the Stars is about to begin its 7th season in the fall of 2008. Since the very first season back in the summer of 2005, the world loved this show. For some reason people can not seem to get enough and anxiously wait for each new season to begin.

Each season starts with the introduction of the teams of and their teammate celebrities. Then as the season progresses, the public gets to see a of their favorite stars or athlete's learning the complicated steps and moves required for the complicated dances they perform. Some say that Dancing with the Stars has such a large loyal following because people love to see famous people make mistakes and there has not been one season yet where the and blunders of the workouts have not been shown.

There are also others that say they like to watch Dancing with the Stars for the that you can learn to dance yourself if you pay close attention. If you do not know how to dance and watch enough dancers performing the same dance week after week, it is natural that you will begin to pick up on the moves.

There are other fans of Dancing with the Stars that are indeed fans for the simple fact that the celebrities on the show (at least one per season) have been someone that they are a fan of. This became very evident in the fourth season of the show when was teamed up with professional dancer Karina . Billy Ray Cyrus is a singer and actor with a wide following. He lacked skills in dancing to put it nicely. This did not prevent Billy Ray from making it to the final five contestants of the season. It was quite remarkable actually that he lasted all the way to be eliminated 7th.

I am a very large fan of both the show Dancing with the Stars and also of Billy Ray Cyrus and I even knew that he should have been eliminated before he was. The simple fact that the public gets to vote as well as the judges allowed Billy Ray and Karina to stay in the competition longer. If it were strictly up to the judges, they would have been eliminated long before they were.

One other reason for the wide acceptance of the show Dancing with the Stars could be the fact that this particular show is not age specific for its target audience. There really is not a target age. The show can be enjoyed by both children and adults as well as by females and males alike.

No matter why people like the show, it is true that people do seem to have fallen for Dancing with the Stars. Many people are anxiously awaiting the arrival of season seven to see who will compete this time and who will win.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

If it is, I do not see how.

It is true there have been more male winners of Dancing with the Stars than female winners but I do not believe they won because they were males. I have faithfully watched the program; week after week and season after season and do not believe the sex of the contestant even is a factor in their scores for a given week. In fact, I believe the only thing that the sex of the contestants helps to determine on Dancing with the Stars is who their partner will be.

There are those fans of the show that believe the male contestants have a distinct advantage on Dancing with the Stars over their . I will give some credit to the statement on the basis that the males have won four out of six seasons but that is not because they were males, it was because they did a better job learning the given dances.

That brings us to another speculation I have heard concerning the contestants on Dancing with the Stars. I have heard it said a few different times that the female that they employ on the program are of better quality than the male professional dancers. I am not a dancer so the only way I can determine that is by the outcome of the shows. It would appear that the are better teachers but I am not saying they are better dancers.

If the females can teach the dances in question better than the , than that would give the male contestants an advantage. I am not saying it is true or not but I am just saying, there are people that believe the females are better at communicating the so that would give the an easier time learning the dances.

Some people have speculated as to why the men are winning more seasons then the woman at a fact that the men are stronger and therefore more able to take on the physical demands of learning the dances. There may be some merit to these allegations as both women that were the final winners of their seasons are very athletic by nature. Kristi Yamaguchi is a professional figure skater and Kelly Monaco is a very physically active actress.

Now what can be attributed to that fact that the male celebrities have had a winning record of two to one? Could it be the female professionals are more equipped or better at teaching dances? Or could it possibly be the public liked the male celebrities more to begin with so they had a better chance of winning overall approval? No matter why it happens, the fact remains, the males seem to have a 2 to 1 advantage when it comes to the possibility of winning the final episode of Dancing with the Stars.

No matter why it is true, the facts speak for themselves. The male celebrities have won four of the six seasons of Dancing with the Stars. Whether it be because they are stronger, have better teachers, or just want to win, will never really be known for sure. Watch the next season and come to your own conclusion.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

If not, that is surprising. Dancing With the Stars is a television show that is loved by many different people of all different ages. For example, I am a mother of 6 children. Dancing With the Stars is the only show that my children, all except the baby because he can not talk, and I love to watch. We try not to miss a single episode.

My oldest, an eleven year old girl and my 4th oldest, a four year old girl, sit week after week glued to the screen hoping to pick up some to use in their drill squad performances. If we have to miss an episode, I hear it for days from them both.

Then there is the , and by that I mean the portion of my family that are boys. I have two boys that watch it weekly as well and they are 7 and 8 years old. The older of the two watch it wondering if he will ever dance like that and the younger of the two watch it hoping to see someone mess up. Go figure, .

I personally like to watch it because it shows that celebrities do not automatically come by a wide array of talent they have to work to become good at some things. My personal favorite celebrity that has been on the show, probably showed that more than some. is my favorite of the all the celebrities that have appeared on Dancing With the Stars. He struggled from day one. He was large and awkward to put it nicely.

Billy Ray never let his hold him back though. He gave it his all every time he performed. An interesting point is that season, all of my children were also rooting Billy Ray on. Granted they were rooting for him because he is the father to their favorite actress but none the less, it again shows the wide range of ages that enjoy the show. After all, any show that can keep the interest of a woman in their mid to late 30s and also her six children must have something worthwhile in it.

Now let us take a minute to compare what the different age groups think of the judges. The three widely known judges are; Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonili. Every one has their own opinion of the judges. Some like one or two of them and there are also some that like all three or none of them. I like the fact that the judges usually will be right on the money. However, I have noticed that my children tend to get upset with the judges, even when their scores are warranted, if the judges give their favorite performer a bad score. They seem to be hardest on Carrie Ann, especially my boys.

No matter what age, sex, or geographic area you are from, chances are you have seen an episode or more of the ever popular show Dancing With the Stars. If you have children, try to sit down and watch an episode with them. It is a fun way to install quality family time in this hectic world we live in.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

The celebrities can be actors, actresses, singers, athletes or . They can really be any person that is famous and has a following of any kind. Do the athletes have an advantage over the non athlete celebrities? There have been 6 seasons, let us take a look at the winners and their professions.

Celebrities on Dancing with the Stars that won and their Profession:

Season 1 - Kelly Monaco--Actress--Winner

Season 2 - Drew Lachey--Singer--Winner

Season 3 - --Retired NFL Running Back--Winner

Season 4 - Apolo Anton Ohno--Speed Skater--Winner

Season 5 - Helio Castroneves--Indy 500 Champion--Winner

Season 6 - Kristi Yamaguchi--Champion Skater--Winner

In the six years of Dancing with the Stars, there have been four athletes, one singer and one actress as winners. Therefore you can understand why certain people believe that the athletes have a over the other contestants on the show.

As for if athletes have an advantage over non-athletes on the show, how can that even be a possibility. The only way someone would have an advantage over another contestant, would be if they were more agile or had the ability to learn faster than their competitors. All of the contestants are learning new dances. All of the contestants start with the same score and have to win the vote of the public and the . Sure, some people like to talk about well he has an advantage or she does because their experience. But let me ask you, take the winner in season 3, Emmitt Smith. He was a very famous running back in the NFL. He was one of the contestants that was an athlete but I ask you, how is being an athlete in the sport of football an advantage on the dance floor?

In football, you barrel through your opposite team as forcefully as you can. While on the dance floor you need to be graceful and agile. If anything, I would say his professional career as a football player gave him a disadvantage yet he still won the competition in season 3.

There are several factors that are more important than what type of a celebrity the contestants are. There is first and perhaps most importantly, who is the individual teamed with? What professional dancer was any given celebrity teamed with for the competition? If the match is a good one, the pair can go far. If, however, the match is less than perfect, that in itself could be the biggest disadvantage a celebrity could face during the whole season.

There is also the question of whether or not the celebrity is any good at dancing to begin with. If the celebrity is a good dancer, that is a big advantage in a competition like this. Likewise, if the individual does not dance,then they are at an extreme disadvantage over contestants that do dance and an even bigger disadvantage over the contestants that dance well.

No matter what profession any given celebrity has on Dancing with the Stars, they all begin the season with the same score and must learn the dances at the same time. I do not believe an athlete has any advantage over other contestants. What do you think?Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

I am so proud of this man for shattering all the stereotypes, and offering a resounding response once and for all to the age old question: what type of man learns ballroom dancing? The answer....a REAL man!

There can surely be no question as to this man's virility, nor his confidence in himself. Not only did he plunge into unfamiliar waters, but he chose to do it on nationwide television, in front of millions of viewers. How many men (or women, for that matter) have the guts to do that?

I've heard all the whiny excuses for not taking ...I've got ....dancing is for sissies....I don't have time to learn something new....what good does it do to know how to dance, I'll never compete...I'll look stupid....I'm no good at it...I don't like it....it's too expensive...and on and on . It doesn't matter the words they choose, they're all saying basically the same thing...andquot;I in myself and I'm scaredandquot;. How terribly, pathetically sad.

Knowing what I know about ballroom dancing, there simply is no excuse for not learning. I've seen men without legs on the ballroom dance floor. I've watched macho types, geeky types and overweight men move with grace as they executed a beautiful promenade. I've known men who took on odd jobs to pay for continued lessons. I've witnessed men literally dragged into the studio against their will and watched with pride as they developed into, not just great dancers, but one even went on to become a phenomenal instructor. How much they all would have missed if they had let their fears keep them from trying.

There are many things in this world to be afraid of. Ballroom dancing isn't one of them. Don't be afraid to open yourself to new possibilities. The numerous benefits you'll receive may shock you.

My country's flag, the stars and stripes, is perhaps the most American of all symbols we have. Among other things, houses, schools, businesses and even cars choose to show their support for America by displaying proudly the stars and stripes.

Most Americans cannot help but think of the great freedoms that our country enjoys and the sacrifices that have been made in order to attain that freedom with each sight of the stars and stripes they have.

Not all Americans love the stars and stripes like I do. In fact, some people choose to harm and even burn the in protest against the values or actions of our country. Often during times of war, for example, Americans can be found burning the stars and stripes to symbolize the way our country is being destroyed through war.

Each response to our country's freedoms must be tolerated by the other.
