A Most Satisfying Thump

posted by on October 23 at 11:03 AM

This is everywhere this morning, and now it’s on Slog: Marie Osmond drops dead on Dancing with the Stars.

Okay, she only fainted, but the subject line tells it like it is.

I remember when this happened on America's Next Top Model during panel. Such pressure on these reality stars!

(1) Marie who? Wasn't her 15 minutes of fame like THREE DECADES ago?
(2) Why's it "satisfying"?

That's a good, hearty thump. Watching/listening to Mormons go boom is one of life's great pleasures.

Isn't it wrong that the first instinct of everyone in the audience (myself included) is just to laugh? It's the car alarm scenario...we've been conditioned to believe that it's just annoying now...no real crime going on. Reality stars fainting or acting foolish, just part of the game...a hilarious game.

I wonder, when was the last time she ate?

I can't imagine it would be worth sitting through minutes of that awful-looking show at a time to see a moment like that, that reveals so much about the idiot enthusiasts and participants. Don't get up and try to help or anything, you subhuman judges.

On a side note, this clip is not anywhere else that I'm aware of, and I might have gone on not knowing that Dancing Stars was still on the air or that Marie Osmond fell down if you hadn't posted the clip. Thanks!

At last, payback for 'paper woses'

Yep; my Monday nite guilty pleasure if there's nothing better on PBS, is DWTS. (but only if there's 'stars' I like; this cycle has a humpy race car driver with a huge toothy smile and an even huger lump in his pants, but I digress...)

There needs to be some clarification: some of the audience laughed because they thought she was joking; I did at first, too. Marie IS quite the clown...

And, at the end of the segment, as they fade to commercial, one of the judges (Carrie Anne) does start to get up. In their defense, I think everyone was in shock...

It WAS pretty funny/awful. But don't hate on Marie and the Osmonds. They might be wholesome, but they've never been preachy about it...and for Mormons, they're pretty liberal. Marie's been divorced and Donnie's confessed to depression.

And everyone on here between 38 and 48; 98% of you WATCHED Donnie & Marie when you were a kid; don't lie about it, now.

I'll alway remember where I was when I saw this. This is like Kennedy being shot.

@11 - yeah, and most of us guys wanted to do her.

Hmm @8, to me it looks like lack of eating is not something Marie's suffering from.

#13 And none of us gay guys wanted to do Donnie...

Oh, Brad, you're such a tool.

I too am hooked on this fabulous train wreck of a show. It's the most popular TV show in the world -- there are versions in 29 countries -- and it's got more hot girl flesh on display than anything outside of porn. Not Marie; hott hott maneaters like Edyta. And Cheryl, and Kym, and Julianne, and Grawr! Nnuh! Nnuh!

To David and the pack of howling jackals - calm down, your time for blood and jizz will be here soon.

Marie has had 6 or 7 kids, looks GREAT all things considered, and is just another page in pop culture.

Anyone who relishes another person's pain and possible injury from a real fall is quite sick - not hip - sick.

Her and Donny are the sort of new Mormon, upbeat, cool with it all, and really very versatile as in just trying to make a buck entertaining someone.

In that, they are wildly universal.

As a young buck, Donny was a doll. And what an ass, fantasy material for years.

This is the ONLY program on TV that is not totally boring. It is athletic and very fast paced and it is authentic, they are really dancing, hey, hey.

Cha, cha, cha, wallflowers get with it.

For you jerks who are hating on Marie Osmond. Look at your own pathetic lives! Half of you are in the closet and the other half have "Come out" but don't have a clue as to where to go! Get over yourselves and stop hating a woman that obviously is way above you!
