** [[Kirstie Alley]] did better than pretty much anyone would've guessed, especially when you consider her age, too.
* [[Amazonian Beauty]]: Several of the female athlete contestants, such as Laila Ali, Misty May Traynor, Natalie Coughlin, and Hope Solo.
** [[Statuesque Stunner|Martina]] [[When She Smiles|Navratilova]], [[Curves in All Thethe Right Places|dig those hips and butt]]!
* [[Camp Gay]]: Bruno Tonioli, especially whenever the men are half naked or take their shirts off.
** [[Always Camp]]
** Season 13 Contestant Carson Kressley plays this for all it's worth.
* [[Covered Withwith Scars]]: Season 13 contestant and Iraq war vet JR Martinez has burn scars over [http://www.accesshollywood.com/jr-martinezs-dramatic-and-inspirational-journey-to-dancing-with-the-stars_article_53868 40% of his body]. And a missing ear.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: [[Sports Center|Kenny Mayne]] during the Dancecenter segments. Tom Bergeron pretty much all the time.
* [[Dramatic Pause]]: It wouldn't be a talent show without one...
Line 76:
* [[Take That]]: Guitar Hero once showed a parody of the show called "Washed Up Celebrity Dance-Off"
* [[Technician Versus Performer]]: Season 1. Kelly Monaco (the Performer) won it over John O'Hurley (the Technician). Hotly contested, enough so that the two couples squared off in a TV special which O'Hurley won.
** Another pair of examples, different seasons, are Season 11: [[The Hills|Audrina Patridge]] (the Technician) and [[Camp Gay|Carson Kressley]] (the Performer). Patridge was even told multiple times by Bruno "you have excellent foot work, but you look like a [[Getting Smilies Painted Onon Your Soul|barbie]]."
** Many of the seasons start out eliminating the "terrible" performers and then working to the "uninteresting" technicians. Then the [[The Mario|balanced]] dancers and finally to those that have a balanced mix of both.
* [[Throw It In]]: The couples can sometimes have an amazing ability to bounce back during a dance, such as Ralph Macchio catching Karina Smirnoff during a fall after his swinging coat knocked her to the floor.
