Judge Bruno to Female 'Dancing' Contestants: You Better Bring It
Marie Osmond, Mel B, Jayne Seymour and the rest of dancing divas will cha cha onto the dance floor tonight for the season five premiere of “Dancing with the Stars,” and only “Extra” got Judges Bruno and Carrie Ann in our studio, weighing in just moments before the big show.
“We have 12 couples this year as opposed to 10,” Carrie Ann said. “And six men and six women, they're so diverse. We have Marie Osmond, and we've got Wayne Newton. I mean that's royalty.”
So do these two judges have any early predictions?
“Maks has a good partner,” Carrie Ann said. “He's with Mel B, who has a bit of experience with dance and performing, so she's probably going to do pretty well.”
The judge also said to look out for Edyta and her partner Cameron Mathison. “You know, Edyta has been on our show since season one, she's the only dancer that's been on every single season,” Carrie Ann revealed. “They look fantastic together.”
Meanwhile, Bruno and Carrie Ann are expanding their own family -- a “Dancing with the Stars” spin-off coming soon to ABC!
“We're going to do 'Dance Wars,'” Bruno revealed. “It's not really, really war, it's more like a dance war game. It's a battle of talent.”
As for tonight's battle of the babes, Bruno had got some last minute advice: you better bring it.
“You've got to come out there and deliver a show,” he insisted. “You've just got to.”
Catch all the fireworks, tonight on ABC!
