I called it! Pastore wouldn't last in the competition. I didn't think he'd drop out of the show before it aired, but oh well...here's an aritcle about it from Zap2it:

Pastore Takes Off 'Dancing' Shoes
Rigors of training whack ex-'Sopranos' star

"Dancing with the Stars" doesn't premiere until nearly three weeks from now, but the show has already lost one of its competitors.

Former "Sopranos" star Vincent Pastore has dropped out of the ABC show following a week of training. The 60-year-old actor cites the physical rigors of the 10-week competition as his primary reason.

"When I initially committed to joining 'Dancing with the Stars,' I didn't realize just how physically demanding it would be for me," says Pastore, who played mobster "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero on "The Sopranos." "Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity."

Pastore had been slated to dance with Edyta Sliwinksa on the fourth edition of the show, which debuts Monday, March 19. An ABC spokesperson says the show will announce a replacement for Pastore in the coming days.

Executive producer Conrad Green says he's sorry to see Pastore go but "respect his decision."

"We appreciate him standing aside now rather than having to withdraw later," Green says. "'Dancing with the Stars' is physically demanding, and it pays to know your limits."

I'll watch just to see Billy Ray's butt

Me too, puddin!

Well actually I am a fan of his, esp when Gary & were line dancing. Cyrus's hit song "Achy Breaky Heart", was one of the first line dances we learned!

Still love that song!

So now the big question is: Who's going to replace Pastore?

RudyRules · « **Reply #28 on:** February 28, 2007, 07:46:56 PM »

Forgot to say I'll probably be rooting for Billy Ray, unless he does a purdy lousy job of dancing. The only other two contestants I've heard of are Leeza Gibbons and Joey Fatone.
I just hope DWTS isn't gonna conflict w/ my Tues/Wed shows!!

That is a good question, Mandy. I have no idea. Jimmy Kimmel talked with Leeza Gibbonson his talk show the night the cast was relvealed, and he said he'd do the show. I'd love to see him on it, his late night show rocks!

This reminds me of Season 2, when Lil Romeo dropped out before the show aired, and Master P took over. We all know what happened next. Lets hope this person isn't another Master P.

I'm in the middle of writing an article (that will be posted on the home page) revealing who the cast is. But, since the "Big Pussy" lived up to his name, I'm going to have to put it on hold until the replacement is revealed.

Mandoli · « **Reply #30 on:** March 01, 2007, 08:56:13 AM »

If Pastore's replacement really is the Master P of the fourth season, I'd like him kicked to the curb as early as possible. It took the fans long enough to send the original thing packing (come on -- the judges give him an 8 for a Paso Doble?), and I'd be skeptical to see when the backup goes if he tries to be any worse than P was.

No and No CJ

! Big Pussy was Pastore's character on the Sopranos which is by the way one of my FAV shows.

Now I know who you are talking about!!! hahahha he would be so funny to watch...but will never last...although Jerry made it further and he might do the same!!

Pastore's replacement has officially been named...

Quote

JOHN RATZENBERGER - Following Vincent Pastore's withdrawal, Ratzenberger has nobly stepped in to take his place. Show producers had previously extended an invitation to him to participate this season, but a scheduling conflict prevented him from accepting until now. He takes on the added challenge of having less time to train than his fellow competitors before the series premieres - two weeks versus four. Ratzenberger's most prominent recent work has been as host and producer of John Ratzenberger's Made in America, and as author of the new book, We've Got It Made in America: A Common Man's Salute to An Uncommon Country. The beloved actor starred in the classic television series Cheers and in ABC's 8 Simple Rules. He is also the only actor to have voiced a role in all of Pixar's feature films, including Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars and the upcoming Ratatouille. EDYTA SLIWINSKA, the only professional dancer to participate in all four seasons, will be his partner.

okay I only saw the last half of the dancers... Who is watching and who are you voting for? I used most of my internet votes for Clyde. he looked so nervous.

But Joey did really well I think. Was Billy Ray that bad that he has such a low score.

TheCinera · « **Reply #38 on:** March 19, 2007, 09:51:10 PM »

Hey Texan, I just posted an article on the home page with the entire recap, plus a leaderboard of all scores...
http://www.realityfanforum.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1174356595

Personally, I found Joey, Laila, Shandi and John to be my favorites. Joey did the best, imo. He gave so much energy and fun to the show. This season looks like it'll be better than last season. Poor Billy Ray, he didn't diserve such a low score, but it was weak.

RudyRules · « **Reply #39 on:** March 19, 2007, 11:36:51 PM »

Thanks for the recap, Mark. Since I watch Prison Brk and 24, and tape 24 commercial free, I can't watch DWTS! Drat. I did sneak over during 24 commercials to peek in, but it's not the same.

I'm so glad you're writing recaps! That will help.

I think Prison Break has only two more shows, then I can watch the first hour of DWTS.

TheCinera · « **Reply #40 on:** March 20, 2007, 10:06:19 AM »

Thanks, Ruday! Starting next week, the articles be posted every Tuesday night after the elimination.

Speaking of elimination, who will be the first to go? I have a feeling in my gut it will be between Billy Ray Cyrus and Heather Mills. It's a toss up between which one did America not like. Although, anything can happen. We do have another show.

Texan · « **Reply #41 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:15:59 PM »

I think even though the judges said they would not they socred heather Higher then she deserved. I have heard Billy Ray's was bad ~ if you know where it is you tubed let me know I want to see it. Heather did not give that fun warm feeling others did. I think Billy ray has a bigger fan base then heather mills so I woudl guess Heaterh between those two.

I voted for Clyde, Billy ray, Apollo, Ian and joey. Multiple to Clyde. Hometown and all, but I also think once he relaxes he will do better.

CeeeJay · « **Reply #42 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:31:40 PM »

I liked Apollo Ian and Joey...I didn't care for anyone else.

I don't enjoy watching the women because in latin dancing its mostly about them...and if they can't dance that well its not interesting....the men lead the woman on the stage, the women is what is mostly watched.

billy ray STUNK!!! I was more intersted in seeing if Heather's leg was going to fall off ....did anyone else notice her panties!! PUKE!

TheCinera · « **Reply #43 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:47:25 PM »

I didn't see her panties CJ, but I did record the episode, so I'll have to go back and watch it. Her dress looked horrible, and her leg stayed on.

I haven't voted yet, but I know I'm going to vote for Joey and John. I just don't know who else. I think John didn't do too well, but over time he'll be better. America needs to cut him some slack, he only had two weeks of training. The others had four.

CeeeJay · « **Reply #44 on:** March 20, 2007, 01:48:18 PM »

who's john??

Texan · « **Reply #45 on:** March 20, 2007, 02:14:53 PM »

Oh yeah I voted for John too, He deserves more then 2 weeks. Can you still vote now? I thought only during the show.

CeeeJay · « **Reply #46 on:** March 20, 2007, 02:21:32 PM »

oh John...CLIFF!! Damn I was having a brain fart!

TheCinera · « **Reply #47 on:** March 20, 2007, 02:24:01 PM »

I think you can still vote. At least, I hope you can still vote.

PotatosPunkGirl · « **Reply #48 on:** March 20, 2007, 08:23:33 PM »

ok...I HAVE to vote for Clyde...hometown thing here too....but after that my votes are going to Joey, Apolo and suprisingly I liked Ian. As for the women....I liked Laila....

I miss Mario and Karina
